A man has come under fire for complaining about his grumpy neighbours, although some point the finger at him for not showing common courtesy.
Taking to social media to share the dispute, one man recounted his shock upon receiving an image from his friend of a sharply worded letter from the neighbour.
The post read: “A friend of mine whose car has broken down is having to ride a motorbike to work at 5:30am. They got this letter from a neighbour. Mind blown.”
Penned by an irked resident named Jack, the letter stated: “To Whom It May Concern, For the past week your motorbike has been starting up at 5.30am on a weekday and 6.30am on weekends. The noise has been consistently waking me up and disrupting my sleep.”
Jack also claimed to have discussed the issue with other neighbours, expressing their collective exasperation in the correspondence: “I understand that you may have your routine, but this early morning disturbance is becoming unacceptable, since it started over a week ago, causing lost sleep and stress to me and others.”
The frustrated author of the note finished: “I kindly ask that you take steps to either start your motorbike later in the morning, or find a way to reduce the noise, especially in these early hours. I trust you’ll understand the impact this is having, and I would appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.”
People scouring the post on Threads rapidly weighed in, with a significant number backing Jack’s viewpoint. One individual commented: “What’s the issue? Motorbikes are obnoxiously loud, and they make a fair point while being polite about it. Why should a whole street of people be disturbed for the sake of one person? Matey can get a taxi.”
Another person shared: “I live in a neighbourhood where all houses are close to each other. I used to own a motorbike with an open exhaust. I pushed my bike to the main road before I started it in the morning because I’m not an antisocial a**hole.”
Nevertheless, some readers dismissed the letter as a joke and even suggested the motorbike owner escalate the situation. One advised: “Hysterical. He should rev it a bit before he leaves. Seriously do people not realise they live amongst other people? The entitlement of letter writer is off the scale.”
Meanwhile, another quipped: “Rude! I’d leave even earlier just for the hell of it, f*****g boohoo, it’s not like he’s just sat there revving the guts out of it!!! Some people just need to moan about something.”
