Stupid neighbour

Post by Captain Jack »

Yesterday, my neighbour has been annoying me all evening with constant banging coming from their side of the house. I went out in the garden and saw that their kid is knocking a ball against the wall (my wall). This has been happening for months, among other things on this fking council estate.

So, I go over and after knocking 5 times, she opens the door. I ask her to try and keep the noise down as the house/terrace wall is made out of paper and everything can be heard. What does she say? "Oh, we are just mucking about... don't worry!". :roll:

I don't care what you do there, just do it quietly!!! Stupid woman... They stopped eventually but who else has annoying neighbours?

Even being detached doesn't stop your neighbours being annoying. The shitty-arsed nothing-better-to-do woman at the bottom of my garden chopped down two perfectly nice trees 'in case' they rotted and fell onto her conservatory at some point in the future :? :roll:

Then there's my other neighbour who continues to build-on and add-on to just about every angle of the house, week in week out, and now has just announced he wants to plonk a detached double garage on the spare lawn he owns near me (weird private road).

I believe we are becoming less tolerant of neighbours as our stress levels in daily life soar and lead us to crave the well-deserved peace and sanctuary of our homes (and woe betide anyone who shatters this peace) :frown:

Doesn't your neighbour need to get planning permission for that sort of thing? I wonder if he has.... (send in the bulldozers...)

My neighbours are ok at my house but here we seem to live in Retardville (the village has a reputation for everyone being related to everyone else, Norwich-style). The two kids to the eight here seem to run wild most of the time, they play music full blast in the garden, let fireworks off all the time and generally make a lot of noise playing war (didn't they have enough of that yet?). One day we were in the garden here and I heard an air rifle pellet whizz over our heads. My wife stormed round there but it wasn't the kids this time, it was their dad :roll: He was outraged that she should suggest he was firing at us and said he'd been firing into the air. I presume he thinks the pellets vaporise when they get 100 feet in the air :frown: We get on ok with the grandparents. last year thy invited us around for coffee. We were chatting away when one of these retards came in and switched the telly on full blast.The grandparents being both a bit mutton this kind of killed the conversation. And I can't do anything about it because my wife's one of their teachers :shock:

Then there was the time I chased another kid down the street because we were fed up with them ringing the doorbell until silly o'clock in the morning. Turns out he's the local dunce and he thought he'd be "in" with the local troublemakers for doing this. I chased him into the local bar, which of course was full of his relatives (told ya so), and I came close to a punch-up with some of them - "oooh, our little boy wouldn't do that!". SO anyway, while I was walking home I found his bike, which I duly confiscated. Then all his relatives turned up at my wife's house so I got my wife to summon the Old Bill. I have a video of the relatives arguing with her, telling her she was a liar. Then the little boy turning up in tears and confessing all 'cos I had his bike :lol: And us all shaking hands and departing as friends. And finally the police turning up too late to catch the fun :roll:

Oooh, and of course the time when the guy who runs the fire house left his keys with some idiot who, in turn, lent them to some kids, who had a big party there. 1 am there were little kids staggering around puking everywhere, smashing bottles and generally making a right din. I went out there and they locked themselves inside, so once more we called on the local constabulary who came and sent them home. Oh, and did I mention my wife's one of the teachers? The next parent's evening was more lively than usual...

i live in a mid terraced and one side has a strange man who has a passion for robin reliants .. we now only have 1 outside the back but at one time there was 3 mainly in bits too. he lives in his back bedroom presumably to keep an eye on his precious whistle. his garden at 1 time resembled steptoes yard but after other neighbours complained it was tidied up
the other side is being renavated at the mo so builders have been in and took a chimney breast out and very kindly dumped it on the front garden in a nice (sarcasm) 4 foot high pile of bricks along with the toilet seat and 6 or 8 bags of misc crap.. phone call to the council tomorrow :supafrisk:
all this on theh front and i'm trying to sell mine so not a good look to potential buyers
spoke to the owner 18 mnt ago tellin him there was 2 tiles missing in his roof and he only just had it fixed last month and i got in there once, and what a dump the hole in the roof had deposited bout half inch of water all over the bathroom floor obviously knackered the ceiling too , rest of the house had 4x4 wheels , exhausts , tyres etc in every room and ooooohhh yeah there was a tv in the bath :shock: well what can i say i told him but ...stupid man

We live in a flat, and had problems for years with upstairs
About 4 different residents over the years, but they all seem to think they are living in a detached house and make whatever noise they want when they want

If you live in flats then you need to be more considrate in my book

Makes me sound like a grumpy old man......hang on a minute ......... :roll: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
