Noisey neighbours

My neighbours decided to start playing dub step music on full pelt and it really triggered my anxiety and I’m not one for confrontations so I ended up feeling burnt out from anxiety and I’ve slept two days straight and not got much done, it’s the same neighbours who asked me if they could repair the fence and then put up a 7 foot fence which blocked the beautiful views here but I got my plans to get that fence out right. I’ve really had enough of people in my life, I’ve always been considerate of the neighbours and kept sound levels low but I’m fed up of being a push over. Maybe I will get billed for the fence but I am going to make a few holes in the supports or the fence and hammer some spore plugs in to it and grow edible mushrooms from it and the mushrooms will help weaken the fence and rot it, it might take a year or so but wood here rots well because of the salt from the sea. Apparently Indian oyster mushrooms like soft wood 😊 so I get some oyster mushrooms and in return they break down the wood. If I wasn’t so unwell I would use some power tools to take it down
 
Sorry you have really annoying neighbors. Check your local codes to see if the fence could be at that height and maybe find out if they got all the right permits before they installed it? If permits are needed and they didn't get it, they could get fined or be forced to remove the fence.

They are pretty safe as the fence is under 2 meters, the fence was on our side, I agreed to let them remove the broken one and replace it stupidly and they never said they would put up a 5ft 8 fence.
 
I don't like noisy neighbors but it is not a common practice in my place to make complaints when your neighbors are noisy. You can't just call the police when your neighbors are making a lot of noise, there is nothing you can do except retaliate with your own noise.
 
Nosey neighbors are some of the worst, I have one myself who lives opposite me and she is always peering over into my garden being nosey, it really is like she is looking for something to complain about all the time, and if she doesn't find anything she keeps looking. I usually keep myself to myself and know most of my neighbors and we look out for each other but that is to help one another, not to look for ways to make each other's lives hell.

I am sorry that you have bad neighbors, it's never nice to go through that.
