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

[Drumstick]

Exactly how close to your front door is this bus stop? Are we talking <10 metres?

[Green Gecko]

No, we're talking 1 metre

[jawafour]

No, we're talking 1 metre

That is real close, Gecko . I'd imagine that you must suffer with rubbish being left by the stop, too?

[Green Gecko]

Not really as the town is decent and the developments are further away, and the council sends a leaf blower thing. If they didn't it would probably be fag ends etc. I don't really care that much about pristine streets although I loathe litterbugs.

It's just the occasional drunk idiots and noisy yoofs forgetting they're within earshot of probably 20 families in front of their tellies as most of the living rooms are going to be situated ground front. So by earshot I mean they're hanging around a metre from my sofa as in they're standing virtually next to me.

I'm old man yelling at cloud.

Current neighbourly annoyance: some strawberry floater(s) have decided to start letting their dog take a gooseberry fool on the borders of my front garden recently.

As a responsible dog owner myself there is just no excuse for letting this kind of thing happen. In the first instance you shouldn't even be letting your dog go on someone else's garden, but if for whatever reason they do then pick that gooseberry fool up FFS!

It's happened so many times over the last few months that I'm starting to think someone is doing it on strawberry floating purpose, as if they have singled me out to fulfil their canine defecation desires. Whenever I walk my own dog round the neighbourhood I don't see anyone else's garden suffering from this problem - what have these people got against me!?

If I didn't have kids and a dog of my own I would probably have put bloody spikes or poison or something down by now. Having to clean someone else's dog gooseberry fool from the front of my own house is not something that is inspiring neighbourly joy within my heart!

...I'm old man yelling at cloud.

GG, if you're "old" than I wonder about some others of us here in GRcade . I feel your frustration, though, dude. The way that our flats are designed, the front doors are right opposite each other; the door of my immediate neighbours is around three feet away from mine. Luckily the people that live there now are lovely and very considerate... but some of the previous occupants have not been like that .

Until a few years ago we had a pub next to us - i.e. so there were constant antics going on - but thankfully that was turned into flats .

[Green Gecko]

I lived a few doors away from a pub my whole childhood until I was 19 and that never really bothered me, if anything it was more exciting because you got to watch fights. Once somebody threw a brick through a glass window into my brother's lap at the PC though. The perp was jailed for New Year's Eve.

[Vermilion]

I can relate to that.

had to come downstairs after throwing up with pain at half 5 this morning.

Hope you did it on your feet this time

Get one of those security camera systems and then name and shame the culprit hound throughout the neighbourhood. I'm sure someone on here actually did that a while ago

Good shout. I have been tempted by trying to set something up to film the offender in action

Annoyingly it's not in the easiest spot to rig up a camera but I'm sure I can come up with something!

My first thought was to just put up a sign saying "Please don't let your dog gooseberry fool on my garden" - but I imagine the person doing it wouldn't really pay much attention to the sign!

[<]:^D]

oh yes please set-up a webcam camera; theyre not expensive and if its happening quite often you wont have to have it running for long

Well as it happens I'm a sign maker so I could make it look classy and funny

[jawafour]

Neighbour-bloke has been banging out the music for over an hour now. It's almost funny as he seems to be shouting ("singing") along at points... in the style of someone at a pub watching a football match or something .

I think it's gonna have to be humour that gets me through this.

[Vermilion]

Stool bloke (roughly 5 doors down) is back out in front of his house again, he just sits there (sometimes his wife even joins him) acting like the whole street is his own personal property, he has a back garden yet he (and his kids) seem incapable of ever using it.

It wouldn't be so bad but i have to walk past the guy who watches me every time i leave/enter the damn cul de sac, it's creepy.

[Green Gecko]

Shouting ("singing") is the new (laughs).

[jawafour]

'Milion, just thinking about the nightmare neighbours you have on one side... I guy this other guy isn't too much of a pain, really? I wish we both had more neighbours who just sat out front .

[Corazon de Leon]

I don’t really see the issue if a guy wants to sit in his garden and people watch - whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Well he's certainly preferable to the bloke i'm joined on to, or the fat cow two doors down on the other side.

Couple of years ago though, it wasn't just stool bloke out in the street, the bad neighbours and fat cow did it too, it was like a daily street party with them all sat out on the pavements day after day, then when i left the house they would stare at me like i shouldn't be there, as i walked between them just to get out of the damn street.

Haha, nice. Might need to commission a range of signs from you - start with the classy and funny option and if that fails bust out something a bit more extreme!
