Last night I fantasised about…

[Pocolovo]

Plunging a bit fat sissors or similar sharp object in the NDN but one’s paddling pool.

I would 100 percent do it, if I could get away with
it. I’ve even discussed with DH the best and most effective way to do it! 😀
The fucking shrieking and bellowing is doing my nut in, and every time I hear the twatty parents encouraging them, I want to do something to seriously injure them!
This is the one thing I hate about summer. Well that and topless men wandering around Tesco, or anywhere else for that matter. It’s fucking vile!

If I was boss for the day, I’d ban paddling pools, and topless men!!
How about everyone else? What would you ban?

Miserable neighbours

I think you sound like you could do with a dip in the pool op 😉

How miserable! It's children having fun!

Put your headphones and listen to some music whilst enjoying the sun!

No not children having fun! Children and their wanky patents who don’t give a fuck about anyone else’s right to enjoy some peace and quiet in their own garden!
I bet you’re one of those parents!

One who let's their children use a paddling pool in their garden? Yes, yes I am. And thank the lord next door and next door but 1 are the same. We all remove a fence panel so they can all play together.

You’ll just have to suck it up, it’s kids having fun in their garden on a Summers day 🤷🏻‍♀️

@GoldenLightNights well not quite! My other neighbour has complained about them, as have half our side of the road and they have been given a warning by the council!
They are renters and their tenancy runs out in three months time. Hopefully it’s not going to be renewed!

@Allmyarseandpeggymartin Thanks I will be in a week in the med! 😀

Ahh they're 'renters'... That explains it 🙄

Ooh lovely enjoy every minute!

You just need a well-aimed dart. Just make sure there are no kids in the pool at the time 😳

I would ban seasonal moaners like you OP. People who can't put up with others enjoying life when they know has a very limited window. So that's summer moaners, fireworks whingers, Christmas grinches, World Cup whiners.......

@Squiff70 Brilliant!

Ah yes. Us terrible renters. We should know our place amongst the homeowner elite.

I've just brought my kids in because they started screaming in the pool and I doubt the neighbours, who are also trying to enjoy the good weather, want to hear that.

I did warn them a couple of times to calm it down a bit and they couldn't so game over I'm afraid.

Stabbing their pool might be a step too far though 🤣

They are renters and their tenancy runs out in three months time. Hopefully it’s not going to be renewed!

You might get someone with more children that are even louder. All those ‘renters’ are terrible after all. 🙄

If I lived near by, I’d buy them some whistles to play with just to annoy you. 😝

@iklboo The reference to renting is relevant because there’s a good chance that their tenancy will not be renewed because all the complaints!

Especially ones that holiday ‘in the med.’ 😂 What a plonker OP sounds.

I wish there were more parents like you OP. No problem with kids playing and expect a bit of ‘summer noise’, but the rest of us have a right to enjoy some peace and quiet!

The nose from this family is ear splitting!

I’m still fantasising about stabbing the pool though😀

@iklboo That chip is weighing heavy!

So you'd wish that a family with children were turfed out of their home and not given housing security just because you're so miserable that people enjoying their lives makes you want to attack people?? Ok ok

Does it feel good making a house full of kids potentially homeless because you hate the sound of childhood joy?

I don't even have DC and I think YABU

You have neighbours, neighbours make noise. You don't have a right to peace and quiet in your garden if you have neighbours. It's like moaning about road noise if you live next to a road. It's a hot day and children need to have fun

@miltonj Yes 100 per cent, and the sooner the better. If they can’t behave like decent human beings then they’re should be consequences!

How is playing with your kids in a paddling pool no behaving like a decent human being?
