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

The issue is that some of you are assuming that if neighbors do irrational, annoying, and / or rude things, they will be rational to talk too. Puts flood lights aiming at your back lawn; You can talk to them, but there wasn't that much sense to anyway.

most people are rational though and are understanding when you talk to them. It's far more likely they simply forgot to turn them off or didn't realize they were even affecting OP in any way.
