GRcade

Next door drag something heavy sounding across their kitchen floor several times a day, and it reverberates through our whole house. Imagine the bit I'm men in black where will Smith drags that table along the floor, but with the sound of wood instead of metal, and that's what it's like. I'm in the room furthest away up stairs, which protrudes away from the main walls, and I just heard it in the wall next to me as if it was in our house.

Nnnnnrrrrrgggghhh. Nrrrrgn. Nrgn. Nrrrrrrrrrrggggnnnnnnnnnnnnn.

Do they drag out a kitchen table every day for dinner?

My mum had two giant tables built on 15cm castors to wheel around.

Its maybe 4 to 6 times a day (context). I assume its either a table or a chair being moved. It's not a big deal or anything, it's just how much it transfers through our walls that's annoying, which is on the classic gooseberry fool new build house quality.

I know this is the daily mail, but this came up on my Facebook feed (no idea why, I don't read any papers online). I can't remember who said about their nightmare neighbour who caused absolute chaos, had her kids running about the neighbourhood at all hours and just was in general a nightmare. Is this her?

Only if she shat on the lawn.

Argh the parking on the pavements around here

Lazy banana splits with empty driveways, parking on the pavements so far that you have to turn your torso sideways on the way past to avoid hitting the mirrors. One guy parks his car down the road rather than on his own drive because effort, right beside a grit bin, on the pavement. Sometimes you have to go aroind it because there's no room at all. This is a cul de sac, where the road is wide enough to fit 3 wide without going on the pavement.

Bin bint also refuses to use her drive, even though it's equidistant from her drive to the door, to where she parks on the pavement opposite the door. The difference is there's 5 steps from her drive, which is a huge effort I'm sure you'll agree for an able bodied person. There's also a local phonebook which has been sat on the pavement outside her house for over a month now, which is right by the door of her car parked on the pavement, so she steps over it every time rather than just pick it up.

How can you be so strawberry floating lazy that you can be arsed to park on your own driveway. May as well just sleep in your garden rather than go to the effort of opening your front door.

you alright Victor mate?

Talking of parking, someone in our close has turned their house into a nursery and coming home after work to navigate through the sea of badly parked, kiddy-picking-up-arseholes is really grinding my gears.

What's lazy about parking on your own driveway?

The loud thwap thwap thwap noises I heard from upstairs this morning at half 7 made me think my neighbour was stomping around their bedroom in a pair of flippers.

Those noises would make me think of… another activity.

I'd have thought the same thing, except the fact the sound was seemingly traveling around the ceiling

That’s not on. If there’s insufficient parking, they shouldn’t have been granted planning permission.

And if they didn’t even apply for planning permission…

They were granted planning permission. People could park elsewhere but people are idiots and like to Tetris themselves as close to the house as possible so little Timmy doesn't have to walk an inch in his life.

It's not everyday thankfully. Just when a bunch of twats do arrive at the same time, it's the most annoying thing.

The phone book is still there by the way

That phone book story reminds me of something

My neighbor lives on the end of a row of houses Inna cul-de-sac so he can park his car next to his house/back garden. Well... Could

Firstly, his old work van had a problem I assume so he just left it there and bought an identical van, the old van has just been sat next to his house growing mould for literally like 2 years.

Also, right before Covid the wind blew his fence down. Not only has he not bothered to get it fixed, the fence is still flat on the floor, he used to park where the fence is, so now he has to park across the street.

So there's an old mouldy car and a fence panel next to his house, taking up TWO parking spaces. It's genuinely infuriating and I don't even drive I really want to go and just lean the fence panel up against the side of his house so someone could park there but you know he's the kind of guy that would probably kick off about it.

Ive genuinely never seen a lazier person. He seems like a bit of an odd guy though, like all of his windows must be from the 70s, they're wooden and the paint has chipped off of them and everything, while every other house in the treet has white plastic windows.

"Why should I pick it up? It's not my job! The council should do it! I pay taxes for this!"

It is frustrating when neighbours leave junk laying about. Yesterday an old metal water tank, a metal frame and a sheet of wood appeared just outside the doors to the flats. Obviously it has come from one of the flats but the owner must have decided that they want someone else to dispose of it. What a gooseberry fool.
