Last August we had a BBQ to celebrate mine and Ms Foxtrot's birthday
As we were sat in the garden we were increasingly aware of one of the houses behind ours cranking up the volume, first of conversation, and then the stereo as the day wore on and the kids went to bed. And they had AWFUL music taste. I swear I heard Oasis at one point. And I live in a civilized area. I'd like to tell you that we assembled a colossal sound system to bombard them with some CombiChrist or Mastodon, but I was worried about upsetting the neighbours.

Sorry, is this QOTW?

last summer
a house a few doors up had a party in the back garden. The music was probably the loudest I have heard outside a club or gig, at 1:30am and went from screaming death metal to hardcore shit techno followed by a rousing singalong with a recording of "The Wheels on the Bus"

it was baffling
I'm amazed they didn't get shouted at given that I've been told off for sitting in the garden with friends, laughing at normal conversational level at about 10pm.
