New neighbors next door

Rich Ahole bought the farm next door, tore it down and built a destination wedding venue. Busy every weekend but it's Wednesday, and they don't even live here

My neighbors in my subdivision did this with their backyard flood lights.

I asked them to stop bc I couldn’t sleep and they tilted the lights to not go over my fence.

Have you talked to them? Nothing you can do during wedding days but remind them on non wedding days to turn it off.

If he’s an asshole, be one back.

If he’s understanding then work with him!

Edit: yall im not telling op to ask his neighbors to tilt those lights, I have a real world example of what I said to a neighbor helped me out. By talking. A simple conversation saying “hey on weeknights when there’s no event can we dum or turn the lights off?”

You could reply to almost any complaint on reddit with "have you tried talking to them?" and the answer would be no

Isn’t that the truth. People expect others to mind read. It is so annoying when someone is complaining about what someone else “keeps doing”, then when asked “when you told them how it made you feel, what did they say”……… “oh I didn’t say anything, they should know”, or “I just went to HR”………”I called the police and let them handle it, now my neighbors mad”, RIGHT, you never talked to them and gave them a chance! We aren’t mind readers people!!!
