Classless neighbors

[Viperguy]

So we made it through nearly two years with great neighbors all around until just recently. The house behind us is now full of very loud and profane neighbors who just love to spend the evening on their open lanai talking and dropping the f-bomb. Guess I'll have to crank up Hank Jr. on my lanai speakers. I expect those northerners hate country. :pepper2:

[Buffalo Jim]

Try some Country albums which are all religious music that should do it !

[manaboutown]

or rap...

[Buffalo Jim]

They might really enjoy Rap given the description of their behavior and language .

However I just remembered that my grand-daughters left their Sesame Street and Barney albums here and frankly have outgrown them . These might prove helpful for the OP to blast .

It may be easier to talk to them. I'm surprised you would paint with such a wide brush. I'm from the north and have changed greatly since we are now transplanted southerners. Although we will never reach the high standards of the original southerners we strive to leave our bad language behind. So "Bless Your Heart".

Your plan sounds great. I'll be watching for the results:oops: on the Police Blotter. :oops:

My language may be rough to some people after a beer or 2 when I think I'm at home talking with like minded friends. But once I realize I made someone uncomfortable I can put the brakes on. Give them a little time to adjust. It does take time.

how do you know that they are from the north , is that like Jacksonville????

I hope it's me that catches the mystery pooper and not my wife. Funny story...people would skid in front of our house in disbelief because they witnessed our dear departed Barney pooping in a bag. They all wondered how we trained him to aim so well at the bag. They missed us sliding the bag under him then walking away giving him some privacy. If I caught the perpetrator I would turn it into a funny situation and ask them to stop. I would also tell them that if it happens again I personally will even the score on their property. Trust me that will solve the problem. Confrontation was so before not now we are Southerners. If she catches them....Police Blotter...No Bail...Just Kidding! :pepper2:

Invite me over. Being a good Army brat, I can outcurse a sailor and my voice naturally carries. I’ll be happy to let them know what they sound like (and I haven’t let loose with a good torrent in a long, long time).

And only half of Kentucky would agree they’re Southerners. The other half would shrug their shoulders, bless your peapickin hearts and walk away. I had two hillbilly uncles who fought for the North and two for South.

[tomwed]

Wait it out. When in Rome do as the Romans do applies here too.

It could be that they don't realize they are being heard. Sit in your lanai when they are outside, put on NPR talk radio and read the paper for a half hour. See what happens.

I never wanted to meet my back neighbors. But when Irma was coming and they didn't empty their lanai I knocked on their front door and offered to help them empty it. I'm younger.

I told them we haven't met because I like to pretend I'm on the Ponderosa and nobody can her me sneeze if I'm in the lanai. And I know I don't have enough room for a pool at back but I think I may be able to put in a Slip and Slide that we can share.

Yep. :D

[Sgroemm]

Blasting Hank Jr. from your lanai would equate to 2 neighbors behaving badly. If knocking on their door, introducing yourself and saying "I don't know if you are aware, but voices carry between our close lanais" is not something you are comfortable doing, you could also send them a welcome to the neighborhood card and kindly ask them to be aware of the same. They may not even be aware. As for the profanity....I think that is a habit and has nothing to do with being from the north. It has been my experience that people who curse have added it to their acceptable vocabulary due to family role models or work role models doing the same.

We had noisy neighbors behind us in both directions. It was driving me crazy. I couldn't watch TV because of the noise. I actually bought headphones so I could watch TV. I put the house on the market and had two offers and then my husband (who is hard of hearing and couldn't hear the noise) says why not enclose the lanai. It cost about $15,000 but was the best thing we ever did. We put in the double pane Low-E windows. It made a huge difference. Also included in that price was a large bird cage so on quiet days we can go out and enjoy it.

Oh wow ...We are so lucky where we live. No kissing Lanais. Can’t hear our neighbors. When we go to our neighborhood socials we joke about our back area between the houses. We could put a neighborhood pool back there. Or as one neighbor said...how about a landing strip. None of us that back up ever paid a premium for this space. It is great. We’ve been here 7 years and bought it pre-owned. I believe it was built in 2005. Great quiet neighborhood in mid villages. Maybe we are just lucky to have nice classy neighbors.

Same as saying left handed people have a higher IQ than right handed people. :coolsmiley: On to the subject posted by the OP. (1) You can make friends by joining the “ridge runners and stump jumpers”. (2). Have a conversation with the new neighbors (Less than 50% chance that will work but at least you made a try). Or finally (3) call an Agent and put your place on the market. We actually sold our home here in The Villages to a couple who decided on number 3. They are still very happy as far as I know. :)

The very reason we bought a courtyard villa, although close quarters the privacy and serenity is golden , those that have facing lanais are subject to this very situation . personally I would go over and have a discussion .

[deebrock]

And your sure they are "northeners" i hope yiu are not profiling.

[1mimimary@att.net]

I was sitting outside in my courtyard villa under an umbrella with friends and family and realized we were getting a little loud (one wears a hearing aid) and motioned for all to bring down the volume. Most of us live quite close to our neighbors. However, it won't be long before June, July and August heat will put a stop to most of us being outside in the late afternoon!!

[capecodbob]

I would go over and have a conversation with the noisy bunch. Tell them that they it would be nice if they could back off the loud foul language. If that doesn't work then get a lawyer and make their life miserable.

[Island57]

First, stop with the “northern “ bashing! I’m from the north by birth, a southerner now, by choice.
2ndly, voices carry. Even over acreage and water. What not just turn on some gentle music for yourself to enjoy and maybe you’ll hear less of the conversations of your neighbors.
And C, With few exceptions, everyone I know, and have met since moving here, cuss like sailors. Spicy language. I love it!

[bassfish]

Yeah crank it up

For the people who believe northerners are classless. Please take note that we are from MI and do not use the f bomb NOR are loud, so PLEASE do not insult us by insinuating all northerners don't have class.

I vote for overlooking it unless and until it becomes a common occurrence and goes on for awhile.

[nututv]

Just go over to them and be honest. No reason to be an ass about it. What about the other neighbors that may not like F bombs or goat roper music? Now you're being that same classless person that you're whining about.

I agree. AND.

I wonder just how often this happens? Once a week? More? As others say, as soon as it gets really hot, it will stop.

It is best to get along with back door neighbors. They can watch out for your property when you are gone and be there if you need someone close by quickly in an emergency.

Sometimes just getting to know them makes them be aware and CARE that they may be bothering you.

[tomwed]

Shortly after moving into my house I was having a phone conversation with my son. I told him that an unexpected pleasure was how quiet my appliances and heating system is. He said, "Dad, did you forget that you no longer hear very well?"

Maybe you'll get lucky like me and your backdoor neighbors will slowly get quieter like my refrigerator.

[shortsaler]

Have you tried a peaceful resolution yet? Like going over to their house and actually having a civil conversation? Just sayn'!!

[Hifred]

If they knew their language was offensive to you they might be e more thoughtful. They might not be tuned into the fact that the homes are so close that every word can be over heard. You can say something to the effect of Hi I am so and so. I am your neighbor who lives behind you. How are you enjoying your new home...etc. After exchanging pleasantries; let them know ----You probably don't realize that living so close your voices and conversations along with the cursing is loud enough to be heard. Playing loud music is a deliberate disturbance. If you are from an area where you used to have a large yard and did not have neighbors living in close proximity you may not be aware of how your language negatively impacts others. I would start out by assuming the best and hoping that a gentle conversation would help rather than blasting loud music. That will disturb all the others who live around you as well as these neighbors.

[graciegirl]

And we wonder why there will never be peace! Yes children reside in friendly town. Try open communication... or just copy your post tape to door. BTW this Northern person has learned Bless your heart on either side of a statement is nothing more than a sarcastic insult.

Southerners saying bless their heart after a jab....That is a joke. Meant to be humor, how people talk in certain areas. People from the South are not stupid or mean hearted. People from the North are not stupid or mean hearted and ditto from the coasts and middle part. SOME of them are but it doesn't take a house to fall on us to know who they are. You usually get what you give and what goes around comes around no matter how you phrase it.


Could you explain what the highlighted above means?

Children aren't allowed to live here. That doesn't mean we don't love children. Most of us. Bless their hearts.

[Villagesgal]

For Pete's sake. Ask them to to be it down and they probably will. Mention that you can hear every word and that they should be aware that you are privy to all their family problems. If that doesn't work play classical music loud enough to cover their voices. Good luck.

[PennBF]

I remember many years ago when we lived in a rather exclusive area of our city and we were burdened with a neighbor who had no respect for quiet living. Our son was into music, recordings, etc etc. We had an original sound effect tape that came with a prerecording to demonstrate multiple sound. He hooked this up to the sound effects, opened the window on their side of the house and played what was a very loud sound effect of a train going through the openings between out homes. End of loud noise.!!:coolsmiley:

[Joyce Paul]

Really? The fact that posting here says that southerners are better or nicer or more respectful pretty much says it all. I am from the north and I don't feel I am any better or worse than a southerner. Maybe it is that attitude that has made them act like they do. Shame on anyone talking about others like that. If they are bad don't blame all northerners for that. Geez!!!
