to stop knocking?!

Im in on my own, and I answered the door because I thought my housemate had forgot his keys, but this drunk man was looming, and slurring and spitting and in the end managed to ask for a blanket and so I told him I was very sorry but I didnt have one and to not knock again. But he is shouting at my house from the street...

Whatever, Trollsky McTroll. Plenty of town centres are full of drunks at weekends.

IprivateI · 06/05/2011 23:01

bogeyface - I am not disrespecting the OP - just asked a question. No need for the aggravation. I wasn't out to offend anyone Grin

Plymouth city centre has shit loads of pubs and clubs, leading to loads of drunks.

Waves to op, I used to live in mannamead. Smile

IprivateI · 06/05/2011 23:02

I had a drunk man burp in my face once. Terrible experience. Don't open the door again OP - or why don't you just throw him an old blanket from the window?

Iprivate: I know someone who lives in a very large house in a very nice neighbourhood who gets pissed every night cos he cannot cope with life. Its only his wife that stops him from knocking on doors etc.

Op take no notice of this stupid bloody woman :(

pinkstinks · 06/05/2011 23:02

I live in a very studenty area, and have never experienced this tbh, students are mostly lairy, whereas this man is persistant, the police are here now and he has conveniently buggered off.

Do you all not realise that it's only people who live on run down estates who ever get pissed and rowdy. Confused Silly uneducated poor drunks.

pinkstinks · 06/05/2011 23:03

Grin charmed. Would you like someone to talk to? We're here to listen

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:06

Pinkstinks - I'm on Mutley! Do you want me to come round and throw a blanket at him for you?!

Mutley - more than it's fair share of random drunks...

ginmakesitallok · 06/05/2011 23:06

Halfpastwine - and of course you forgot to add "If you live in a run-down estate what else can you expect?"

Bogeyface · 06/05/2011 23:07

Would you like to bugger off? We're here to wave you goodbye!

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:08

Oops - ignore me - you've said he's moved on now.

probably to my neighbours house judging by the noise!

pinkstinks · 06/05/2011 23:09

Oh wow lots of plimovians! yes please tastes like panda he looks like he has wandered down mutley r/t up north hill iyswim?!
The police think im useless because I failed to see which way he went whilst hiding in my room :)

Sorry. I can't take someone calling themself "bogeyface" seriously. Grin

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:11

Ooh - shame on you! Fancy not watching ham as he stumbles either in the direction of Cuba/Ride, or back to FightClub Mutley.
You wuss!

charmed185 · 06/05/2011 23:11

Iprivate: this is my very first "fuck of who the fuck do you think you are" prat.. sorry OP as you were :)

and breathe...............

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:12

Watching ham? Watching him

pinkstinks · 06/05/2011 23:14

I have images of a boiled ham rolling down north hill....

IprivateI · 06/05/2011 23:16

In answer to OP's question - NO, you are not being unreasonable to tell a drunk man who keeps knocking on your door to stop. Why would you even think it was unreasonable? He was trespassing.

Thanks charmed - thank you for bestowing me with the honour of receiving all those "fuck" words. I am charmed (pardon the pun)

Bogeyface · 06/05/2011 23:16

And yet you dont spot the irony of your own posts and the thread that you are posting on...............

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:18

PinkStinks - It would, of course, be a 'Nice Ham'...

HalfPastWine · 06/05/2011 23:20

Halfpastwine - and of course you forgot to add "If you live in a run-down estate what else can you expect?"

Of course, if you live on a run down estate you will never aspire to be anything and clearly live there for a reason. Full of alcoholics those places. Nasty.

TastesLikePanda · 06/05/2011 23:26

OP - another reason you should totally phone the police is that there are a couple of very lovely looking poilcemen based in Charles Cross that I always flutter my eyelashes at when they come into work...

pinkstinks · 06/05/2011 23:39

Ooh delicious police men and nice ham!
The police and the man seem to have disappeared now, hopefully they'll be able to help him out.
I keep jumping at noises though!
