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

[Errkal]

We should get the pic made into a bumper sticker and when he is asleep stick it to his van.

Stool Bloke checking his phone like a boss .

Legend.

Who's the other chair for, Mrs. Stool Bloke?

[Green Gecko]

I want to know what the rugby ball is for. I guess it's comforting in some way, most people have something like that, even if they won't admit it's their phone or somebody else.

[Vermilion]

Who's the other chair for, Mrs. Stool Bloke?

Yes.

[Tsunade]

His wife sits with him? Pics!

[Oblomov Boblomov]

There is a First Lady?

[Victor Mildew]

Stool bloke has a chair chick

He's living the dream.

I'm starting to get somewhat irritated about my neighbour two doors down. He is a nice chap and I would loosely class him as a friend but strawberry floating hell he can be extremely annoying.

For the past 2 months, whenever I leave the house, he is lurking around outside his front door. It just cannot be possible for it to be a coincidence that every time I leave the house he's there. This wouldn't be so bad if he didn't insist on trying to wander over and initiate conversation with me instead of exchanging pleasantries which is what I try to do. I simply don't have the time or will for it and find it excruciating when I just want to get on with what I'm doing.

Even when I'm sitting in the living room with the windows open I can very often hear him talking to other people he collars for conversations.

Sounds like the nosy old geezer who lives below me. I use the back door to our building a lot, mainly to avoid him as he's a serial curtain twitcher (and if he catches you in or around the building you'll be stuck there for a good while as he goes on at you about pretty much nothing). Yesterday he'd caught on about this, and when I came home he was stood at the back door.

He claimed he'd been looking for rain, but the day before, I'd turned to talk to Ella and out of the corner of my eye as we left the building, and saw him staring at us wide mouthed in his kitchen like he'd just had a eureka moment whilst washing up.

[Victor Mildew]

Years ago I used to live in a terraced house and the woman next door used to get us whenever we went in or out of the house. It got to the point where we'd be bringing shopping in and wouldn't even get one bag through the door before she was out and talking her inane u ok hun gooseberry fool for ages. She could keep you there for an hour at least, even saying the shopping was defrosting wouldn't get rid of her, she'd walk and stand by your front door talking in

I think we started looking out the front top window to see if she was stood outside before leaving, and if she was, leaving by the back door.

Lonely old people

I don't know if my neighbour is lonely or just a miserable old coot who likes to use up your time. He said this to someone visiting me this when I first moved in;

"I hate kids and if they make too much noise I'll thump 'em"

And this the first time I met him;

"Everyone follows MY rules in this building. No loud music and no bothering me for anything".

[Drumstick]

My neighbour is 34 and married.

[Jenuall]

You people are monsters!

Shunning the friendliness of kindly neighbours to live in your closed-walled little lives, never thinking about the needs of others or the impact that your exclusion can have on them!


Only joking, this sounds like a right pain. I've always been lucky with neighbours in that most have either been friendly at a pleasantries level, or have had no interest in any kind of interaction.

Soon they will have the baby Jesus for company.

Back in Blighty I got on very well with our chatty, elderly next-door neighbour. We often invited her round for tea and a chat.

Apparently the new neighbours 'keep themselves to themselves'.

I'm a good person.

It sounds simple, guys, but there are a number of hurdles to dealing with difficult neighbours. My council requires that a noise log be kept and that can be read in many ways; sure, they maybe party until 2am twice a week, but they don't on the other five nights? And sorry, we can't get involved in domestic disputes. And, if you officially complain to the Council, that can be seen in checks when you ever put your property up for sale.

The best route I have is that I can lodge a complaint through the flat's management company and I have done this twice now. Each time, it worked for a while but then they return to type. Luckily... they rent the flat so there is a chance that the owner will get fed up with the complaints and chuck 'em out. That's my hope.

Ah yeah, I remember you saying now (about putting your property up for sale). However, if you successfully get these people evicted, won't that mean that the disturbance record has no relevant substance anymore?

Do you have any legal recourse to their landlord? I'd be checking that out with a local solicitor.

*Stool Bloke Update*



While lots of folks have gone away now it's the school holidays, it looks like he's decided to have a staycation instead.

In other news, it's absolute bedlam up this street tonight, the kids are making such a din, i suspect they are either on Red Bull, or hard drugs.

[Mafro]

He looks like an absolute gammon that's loving life.
