A FED-UP resident left a “very polite” letter of complaint to their neighbour about their loud TV – and it’s left people in stitches.
The disgruntled homeowner decided not to unleash his anger despite being vexed by next door’s deafening TV volume.
He instead used flattery instead of fury to get his point across – with social media users dubbing it a “true neighbourly British complaint.”
A copy of the courteous letter was shared to Reddit, where commenters weighed in on the bloke’s preferred course of action.
It read: “Hello neighbour.
“Sounds like you have a good TV system setup which sounds great, but would it be possible to lower the volume during weekdays late evenings as the bass really does travel.

“Weekends go for it! Thanks for understanding.”
The comically considerate complaint left users chuckling, with many admitting they may not have been so gracious.
They cackled in the comment section on the popular post, with many tickled by the resident’s compliments toward their TV.
One wrote: “If you’re thinking of complaining to your neighbours, this is how you should do it.”
Another joked: “That’s incredibly pleasant. I’d have s**t on your doormat.”
A third added: “This is the rare instance where I like the person who wrote the complaint letter.”
And a fourth said: “What a nice letter! Really makes a difference to the normal miserable ones you see.”
Others urged the recipient of the polite request to “play nice” as there is a “great person living on the other side of the wall”.
And one even suggested they should invite the sender over for a movie night to help rebuild their neighbourly bond.
They explained: “Invite them over for a movie night, then you can have it loud and they won’t mind.”
