I like your way of thinking.


It only came about after i was walking past a window downstairs and heard her outside speaking to another neighbour about me, a conversation during which she referred to my family as 'the addams family'

Bitch.

It's like that in my cul de sac, it's amazing how just 3 of the houses from this 22 house street can have such a negative effect.

It's tough to gain a resolution in these situations, Drum. The Management Company can issue a letter to residents indicating that other residents have complained (and we have done this in the past) but, to be honest, I suspect the kind of people that act unsociably just put the letter straight in the bin. The Council indicate that a record of disturbances have to be kept over a period of time and this is what I'm doing now. They will then write a letter to the resident and, if things continue, attend the propery to listen for themselves and / or install "listening" equipment. But, even then, the endgame is that the Council may - via the court so you can imagine how long that'll take - confiscate their TV and hi-fi. Big deal - I 'm sure that he'd be out buying a replacement the same day.

In an ideal world you'd chat with the neighbour and they'd perhaps slighty alter their behaviour. He is unapproachable, though; a volatile thug.

Unfortunately I guess that, wherever you live, there are always gonna be a certain percentage of brain-deads nearby. If you haven't got anyone like that... count your blessings and enjoy your time whilst it remains like that :-) .

Yeah, definitely this, the worst aspect in my case is that i'm directly joined to the worst house in the street.

What about the kids? The guy is clearly a risk for the children to be around, they are possibly already going to be quite strawberry floated up. He needs reporting to social services or whatever for their sake.

Dang, man - you've got my sympathies. I dunno about you, but once you've had their crap happening pretty much day-by-day for months, it does put you on edge. I find myself being delighted when they go out... which is crazy, really.

It's tough to judge, Drum. I only hear stuff... I couldn't say that he's "bad" for the kids. Sure, growing up with such a boorish, selfish person as a "role model" isn't great but it's not a crime. In my opinion, young kids shouldn't be regularly runnng around with music blaring at 22:00 but that's probably not enough to contact social services about.

The music just stopped. It's weird how these things start and stop so suddenly. I think that's part of the reason that you get on edge.

I know what you mean, though in my case, even when they go out, i never get any peace because then the dog starts kicking off instead.

I've been putting up with their crap now for nearly 13 years.

When my dad was still with us, he once had a new car and they used a hose to fill it with water.

As a parent to a baby, there is more than enough in the post to justify reporting him. And that's just one instance.

It’s obviously a different situation, but I know what you mean. A few years ago the fire alarm for the building my flat is in kept going off all night. We could stop it by going downstairs and resetting the panel, but a few times every hour it would go off and it went on all night. In the 10-30 minutes of silence, we were just sat there on edge waiting for it to go off again. :dread:

I'm kind tired of kids shuffling their feet and pissing around outside my front door although it's hard to blame them as its a bus stop, I've just never found one so close to terraced houses without at least a wider pavement, it's a popular stop for some reason.

Pretty much every day I have some smart kid reading "BUM" on my sign because obviously they can't read. It's like when your name (or my initials) spell something not really funny but bored people lack the brains to entertain themselves better.

Although they did mention they might want some t shirts. I think about it a lot like the debacle with "Wii", that didn't stop nintendo making literally billions but eventually these sorts of witterings you hear over and over again start to grate a bit. I don't normally care but it's not a bus shelter so people should shut the strawberry float up, I can hear everything you're saying about maybe ringing my bell when the bus arrives because lol lol lol

At least it's better than the rumble strip last place.

I'm currently glued to sofa due to accident so I have a lot to whinge about.

Reminds me of gay station and ps poo and all that gooseberry fool.

I love this thread.

My neighbours are brilliant. This thread makes me so grateful for that.

Honestly Jawa I know you're a nice guy but would you be beyond paying some "friends" to pay this twat a visit? Maybe offer him some encouragement to tone it down a bit?

It's easy to say on the Internet but I would confront them politely and if they escalate to violent behaviour that's great because you can just walk away and call the police and say you feel vulnerable with this reckless banana split living next door. If the noise gets worse that's what I'd call non verbal aggression which worked for me in the last in terms of community support getting involved. And that was just blurting out music and splashing water in response to playing classical guitar for 5 minutes. Sometimes old people are the worse.

Speaking of which it was the same at hospital, there were some deplorable accusations and language coming from the elderly while I was in A&E. It was really disgusting. Some people are just arseholes.

Jawa if you have any kind of mental health diagnosis you are actually treated as a vulnerable citizen in these cases and so your complaint is taken a little more seriously if it is affecting your quality of life.

It's a shame because in a proper community people should be able to figure these things out and if someone is being a banana split then they're going to be at he behest of more than a few silent complainers and probably have multiple people knocking, writing and calling to say they are making it a miserable place to live, but in reality no one wants to talk about it.

I don't mean stupid gooseberry fool I had to put up with though like not being allowed to play music at all while dogs howling was a-ok and this shrub being too tall and so blocking light or this trees prior existence preventing my patio from draining and blahblah. Some people have nothing else to do but complain, Jawa you are clearly not one of these people.

We didn't have any solid proof sadly, all we saw was the guy dicking around with a hose near our house only to find later on the car was filled with water, it was taken to the garage because a leak was feared but they had no clue as to how the water could have entered the vehicle.

Dad was also half afraid of them, and so never did anything about it.

Even when he was seriously ill, they were busy terrorising him with the dog and DIY.

EDIT: Bloke next door is soon gonna be getting a bondage catalogue from Ann Summers, which will be addressed to Terry* Juan Kerr.

Unfortunately I'm not sure enough people know how to pronounce Juan.

I haven't had the old guy downstairs bump into me for a little while now. I'm really hoping this trend continues, I could do without the hour one sided conversations about god knows what, who or when.

Mind I think coming home through the back of the building instead of the front may be the reason I haven't seen the old curtain twitcher. He hasn't had anything to moan at my front door about since the electric was all sorted out either so he hasn't been up, though I'm sure at some point he'll be there about something. Here's hoping it's not any time soon, I'm enjoying the peace!

Jesus Christ some people can't shut the strawberry float up can they. I had to come downstairs after throwing up with pain at half 5 this morning and sleep upright on the sofa, had this young student wittering on for 15 minutes continuously literally on my doorstep to their mates. I realise waiting for a bus is boring and I normally don't care at all but it is a row of houses not a strawberry floating bus shelter.

Opened the door as asked them to please be quiet as I can hear literally everything they're saying to the back of the house, I haven't slept properly for two days and I've broken my spine and this is a row of houses behind them, I felt I had to literally point along the street. Surely it's obvious the considerate thing to do is at least keep it down especially in the mornings and evenings?

Despite not having any control over my situation and being forced to sleep downstairs they still prattled on about myself surely knowing about the bus stop when I moved in, yeah sure I didn't notice and it's hardly on my wishlist. The fact I've just told them my situation and got up just to ask doesn't indicate anything about their ability to broadcast inane gooseberry fool.

I just realised I ranted about this just yesterday. Well this was much worse than the kids, just those people in a group that talk endlessly in a whiny voice about their strawberry floating university timetable, I don't care, nobody does, shut the strawberry float up and wait for the bus. Every time these banana splits get shipped away by the bus it's a sigh of relief, can't we just delete people. 90% of the time it's just normal street noise but occasionally it's obnoxious strawberry floats. You just wouldn't do that in somebody's front garden or on any byroad (and I hate the people that shop outside Windows and even sit on them to strike up a lovely twaddle about strawberry float all, find a bench you strawberry floats - speaking of which, there is literally a streetside public garden and bench 20 metres away so I have no idea why the council authorised a bus stop to be painted on the road here instead of right there).

I just realised I ranted about this literally yesterday. Well the kids were 10x better, at least kids sometimes find amusingly random gooseberry fool to talk about. I'm going to go mad at this rate.

:lol:

to be honest that is very annoying. unfortunately people do think they own the road/street and dont think twice about the houses/people around. especially annoying that he argued with you instead of just going 'whoops better keep it down a bit'

It was a small young woman with a slightly high pitched voice.

There's been plenty of people by since, just for some reason that got on my tits as it was the worst most boring idle natter in weeks.

I don't like what pain does to me. My mum recommends aromatherapy. Cheers mum.

She's right though they're not going to care and people will be splits so up to me to put up with it just like the rest of us in this thread largely do.

Some women in their 70s went on about the wind for a bit but they were gone in 2 minutes, because they have expert timing, naturally. If you are going to be waiting a while for a bus outside somebody's front door you should shut up.

I'm glad we have that sorted, thanks GRcade.
