The moan about your neighbours thread - Stool Bloke returns...

[Victor Mildew]

Looks like one of those tents they put over crime scenes.

At least it's just a tennis ball. They weren't trying to cause actual damage, just play a game to see if they could hit the window or wind you up. It could be a lot worse

My neighbour has tried to fight me a couple of times if it makes you feel any better

Start doing boxing lessons then if he does it again, do him in.


Seriously though, some of your neighbours look grim. Some of the examples could probably be helped with a firm word though, like the guy beeping the van horn all the time.

[Corazon de Leon]

My neighbours have started - every couple of weekends or whenever there's a bank holiday Monday - playing music really loud at night and singing along, I'm not sure if it's karaoke or what. It was a bit frustrating the other night, when the scenario went a little like this:

*Reaches atmospheric part of Resident Evil, being chased by an unstoppable monster*
"CAUGHT IN A TRAP"
*Monster raises arms*
"I CAN'T WALK OUT"
*Dodge monster, make a run for it through a tight corridor*
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU TOO MUCH BAAAAYBAAAAAY"
*Monster corners me, I'm three hours into the game and haven't saved*
"WE CAN'T GO ON TOGETHER...WITH SUSPIIICIOOOUUUS MIIIIIINDS"

Total atmosphere killer.

The thing is, I can't even go round and say anything because I don't know how thick the walls are, and I play Rock Band a few nights a week so they could just be responding in kind!

That is true.

The Trogs might need more than that. They look like they’ve got a fair bit of inherent bullet resistance. Miniature militia?

No need to be such a Wild Thing, if you're not careful you'll be stuck thinking "I Can't Control Myself", just realise that Love Is All Around and before you know it, Surprise Surprise you'll be back having a Lazy Weekend.

So I'm on a 12.00 - 8.00 shift today.
I arrive home and the first thing I hear coming from the back as I approach the house is a crackling sound...

[Victor Mildew]

strawberry floating hell.

Stool bloke and bonfire bint.

I'm wondering if maybe their boiler's knackered and they have no heating, so they're using the fire to keep warm in their clown tent?

[Vermilion]

If Stool Bloke moved next door to her, he could add to the smokey pollution with some added camper van fumes.

[Tsunade]

Let vermy swap houses with the bonfire swamp people, stool bloke would love them!

[Moggy]

I just can’t comprehend how they have so much stuff that they want to burn. Do they wander around the neighbourhood looking for things that they can put onto their bonfire?

[Victor Mildew]

It's their daily haul of spent scratchcards

A Canadian woman who complained of harassment after her landlords urged her to seek help for her snoring has lost her case.

The woman had taken her landlords to Quebec's rental board seeking a rent reduction over the dispute.

The board's tribunal said her excessive snoring could not be considered a normal level of noise expected in an apartment complex.

It also said she was wrong to refuse to see a doctor about her snoring.

The problems began in September 2016, when the Quebec City woman got a call at 03:00 local time (07:00 GMT) from her landlords saying her downstairs neighbours had complained about snores emanating from her unit, according to the decision released this month.

In October, they showed up at her door to try and find a solution to the situation. They asked the tenant about her health and brought her two boxes of products meant to reduced snoring.

The next day, the tenant found a card on her door with doctor's appointment slip and an attached note saying: "take care of yourself".

The landlords followed up a few weeks later to ask her whether she was planning to seek medical help.

In December, she told her landlords to stop harassing her over the issue. They responded with a formal notice requesting she fix the situation and followed it up with a request to the rental board to cancel her lease.

Her neighbours told the tribunal the snoring kept them awake on weekend nights, and that they heard her snoring during the day when she slept following her Monday to Friday night-shifts at work.

She claimed they would often bang on the ceiling to get the noise to stop.

The tenant told the tribunal that the snoring squabble prevented her from enjoying her apartment and made her hesitate before inviting people over and watching television.

She said she began sleeping in her living room, had trouble sleeping, and had fallen into a depression that kept her from work for three months.

The tribunal noted that tenants in the province of Quebec are expected to tolerate a "normal" level of noise when they live in an apartment complex.

But it said this tenant's constant, loud snoring did not fall into that category.

"Breathing is normal, essential, and even indispensable," it stated. "But snoring is not normal and if it persists in an exaggerated way, it is necessary to seek a [medical] consultation."

Because the tenant could suffer from a sleep disorder, it was her responsibility to seek medical advice. The tribunal said it was unfair for her neighbours to suffer the consequences of her inaction.

The tribunal said the landlords were within their rights to try and remedy the situation so both the tenant and her neighbours could live in peace.

I'd rather have a guy next door sitting on a stool than put up with that.

I looked back through the thread and counted 9 pics in total, so we're not too far off.

tbh you could probably duplicate a few and nobody would know.
