to approach my neighbour about his snot-rockets?

[StinkyWeimaraner]

I live in a nice quiet area and from my kitchen I can see directly into my neighbour's front garden. I spend half my life in my kitchen and he seems to spend half his life in his garden.

The problem with snot-rockets is they happen so quickly I don't have time to look away and quite frankly it makes me feel gippy especially if I am eating. I am pregnant so can live without even more reason to feel nauseous.

We have a very harmonious neighbourhood so I would need to be delicate/humourous if I did go through with it. I know you should choose your battles but seriously, do I just have to accept this revolting habit? How would you approach this?

[Flisspaps]

Snot Rocket?

[Ilovedaintynuts]

You need to explain snot-rockets.

[Pancakeflipper]

Is this spitting muscus out? if so move house. It's the only resolution.

There is a man on our street who gets the same bus as me early Tuesday morning to work. He hacks and spits onto the pavement. I felt so sick that I now walk to the other bus stop that is a 7 min walk away. He must think I am bonkers as I often walk past him to get to other bus stop.

[Bramshott]

Get nets.

[StealthPolarBear]

Are they tissues in your garden?

[Ilovedaintynuts]

Aaaah. I spent a month in Pakistan. Don't go there if you don't like snot-rockets.
I would stop looking out the window or get some blinds/nets. His garden, his snot.

[StinkyWeimaraner]

The act of occluding one nostril by pressing it whilst expelling snot from other nostril, at high velocity. Yetch.

[SarahStratton]

OMG that is disgusting. Trellis and something fast growing so you can't see him?

[StealthPolarBear]

Yes but presumably threy don't travel metres through the air and hit her, do they?

[Sausagesarenottheonlyfruit]

Voiles/net curtains and a really large ornament/vase of twigs/pebbly shit?

Bonsai?

Aquarium?

[StinkyWeimaraner]

Not been hit by one yet, but still bloody gross. Might buy him some hankies for Christmas. subtle

[worraliberty]

It's disgusting but you're not the snot rocket police

If he was snotting out on your property then fine but he's not so YABU.

[pigletmania]

If I do that its in private in the bathroom.

[StinkyWeimaraner]

Nets wouldn't work with wooden blinds, but I do like the aquarium idea, still lets light into my room. Hmmm.

[cadelaide]

I just couldn't live next to that.

Makes me heave.

Deeply unhelpful, sorry.

[cadelaide]

yes, a trellis and sweet-smelling climbers.

[MurunBuchstansangur]

MurunBuchstansangur, snot rocket dept. We've had complaints about high velocity mucous in this area...



It is absolutely revolting but TBH what can you do? Buy him a spitoon? I'd be constructing a fucking massive fence. Filthy bastard.

[HerHissyness]

I lived in egypt. they ALL seemed to that, seemingly men AND women

That and the clearing of the smokers throat...

RE VOL TING

[ineedabodytransplant]

is he a footballer?

I fecking hate MOTD when they do that. Especially as considering MOTD is a programme of edited highlights and they could realise that I don't want to see some overpaid nancy boy spitting/swearing/picking his nose/the above snot-rockets.

And as for showing frigging Alex Ferguson chewing that same old poxy chewing gum

and this is from a football loving bloke. Love football, just can't stand the 'poofters' who fall over in a slight breeze

[HengshanRoad]

Never come to China! Spit-rockets are a part of life here. It's VILE. It starts with a low rumble in the throat, then escalates to a rip-roar of a hawk, followed by a staggeringly fast projectile of goo onto the pavement. I have been woken on several occasions by the noise of hawking from the lane below. I live on the sixth floor...

[MuthaInsuperior]

pmsl @ Snot Rockets

((writes down phrase for future use))

[SuePurblybilt]

I would move. I hate people even blowing their nose in public (vile habit imo), the snot rocket would tip me over the edge.
Or you could kill him

[belledechocchipcookie]

We must share neighbours, mine was hacking up shit off his chest and spitting it outside. I had a word, he blamed his son It's stopped now (thank goodness). Just tell him that you can hear him do this, it's disgusting and he should be ashamed. This did the trick here I feel your pain, it's worse then gross.

[OpenMouthInsertFoot]

I suppose you could solve it by never looking directly at him.
