That's what it's like here, next door has his tv so loud when he's playing xbox/PlayStation. I turn my tv up 3 or 4 times louder than usual to drown it out. The walls are thin enough I can hear when his washing machine is on, he probably doesn't realise I can hear his tv
I didn’t say you were not allowed to play music. I mentioned that he may not be tolerant of it.
My last house, the walls were very thin. I could hear my neighbours having conversations, their washing machine, all sorts. However, we got along very well and they were lovely people, which made asking them to be a bit quiet when I was selling my house so much easier.That's what it's like here, next door has his tv so loud when he's playing xbox/PlayStation.

They were very sad when I moved out because they said I had been the perfect neighbour as I never made much noise.My last house was like that too, conversations, could hear the water from the kitchen tap, kettle (kitchen seemed to be the worst room). I'm glad this house isn't as bad but the tv does get to me at times.
we ended up sending them a replacement and tracking delivery so that it doesn't end up at the couch kidnapper's place again, crazyMaybe you could mention it when you next see your neighbour. Say something like, “blimey the walls are so thin here aren’t they?” See what his reaction is.That's what it's like here, next door has his tv so loud when he's playing xbox/PlayStation.

this has had me absolutely howling. the 'crying all morning" bit I can't breatheSo my next door neighbours had stinky wheelie bins. One day I couldnt take it anymore. After the bin men had been I got a huge bucket of hot water and little bit of bleach and put it in their wheelie bin. Scrubbed it out with the brush I use for my bins and emptied it out and rinsed it with my hose. I was doing mine anyway so I thought I may as well. I didn't even think they would notice because I thought they were at work.
Later that day I get a knock on the door and it is Mr. NextDoor. He says Mrs. NextDoor had been crying all morning because I had embarrassed her by cleaning her bins. He said that the fact that I sweep my path everyday and wash my front door and door step and bin every week was ridiculous and I was clearly doing it to show up my neighbours! And that cleaning someone else's bins was harassment!
Some people I tell this story to are completely on their side. I was actually trying to save them embarrassment! I didn't want to knock on their door and tell them to clean their stinking bins. I just wanted to be able to walk out of my house without smelling their manky bins
I get being shamed (I probably would be and I'd be worried my neighbour thought I was a manky witch) but I wouldn't be crying about it! HarassmentCreasing!!!!!

me and my neighbours get on tho we always do each other’s stuff just to be helpful we don’t get insulted. If they haven’t dragged there bin out the night before bin men come I’ll do it an vice Verza. That’s hilarious cried over it I’d just text them an say THANKS 
can wash my car tooI told my MIL and she said "well everyone's wheelie bins smell" (haha I secretly wash her bins regularly)this has had me absolutely howling. the 'crying all morning" bit I can't breathe
Smelly bin is the worst though. It's up there with dog tit and fish.
What do the people who are on their side say?
god you're a phantom bin washer
Oh god I am like the cleaning ninja! I go round my in laws and my mums and clean the fridge, bins, bath, doors etc quite often (when there isnt a pandemic) I am so glad you see it the way I dogod you're a phantom bin washer
You could have asked but realistically you've saved them the job if you had have asked!
Telling someone their bins stink is way worse, and they could have not done anything about it so now it's awk and the bins still stink. Cleaning them yourself means they're at least clean. Still awk, but got what you wanted so
oh tbf there is nothing worse than a dirty fridge! I give mine a weekly wash (day before shopping day) and wash my shelves and drawers. My parents have a habit of not cleaning out the old tit in their fridge so there's sauces etc from 2018! I wait for them to go on holiday and do a mass sort out and then chuck all the shelves and drawers through the dishwasher.Oh god I am like the cleaning ninja!

Are you Mrs hinch?Oh god I am like the cleaning ninja! I go round my in laws and my mums and clean the fridge, bins, bath, doors etc quite often (when there isnt a pandemic) I am so glad you see it the way I do
Don't knock that. It's better than someone noisy or anti-social.
It's the boring ones you should be careful about. For all you know he could be boiling heads like Dennis Nilsen.
mine is the same as your old flat only privately rented so I get even less help when I complain. My landlord gives zero fucks! I’m looking into new builds for this reason I bet it’s bliss not being able to hear your neighbours fart through the walls
I know it’s Christmas but some of us are still working!!!!
