To go outside and threaten to shoot the morons outside?

fallenninja · 30/09/2011 23:14

Ok .. so i live in the middle of nowhere. I love it. Nearest neighbour half a mile away. Forest surrounding me. Fab. Downside, courting couples sometimes come and park up in the layby / pull in thing a hundred yards or so down the road. Sometimes lads with beer and loud music come too.

Tonight it is the lads with the loud music! I can hear the music, I can hear them laughing. It is driving my dogs crazy. They keep barrelling out of the dog flap every 5 seconds probably less but it feels like it and im being a drama queen barking their heads off running back in. Repeat repeat repeat. Its been like this for the last 2 hours

Im busy trying to sleep pratting on MN and I have to be up at 6am.

So i have a shotgun here, I have a (large) German Shepherd (or 3) I can put on a lead and threaten to release. hed probably just run back to the house though stupid dog

AIBU to go outside and demand they disperse? Id look like a nutter, im in my dressing gown, with a gun and a large dog.

Its the running up to the house that is pissing me off. However I know that our house has a reputation for being the mad crazy haunted place (apparently before we even moved here) and I suspect they are just playing a game. One jackass has even rang the bell now. Dog number 3 lept up from the side gate though which he wasnt expecting so he just legged it back to the car! Have shut front dog flap now so hopefully game will be less fun.

'Get off my land' just makes you sound so posh after GetOrfMyLand lisad.

So's I know for next time, do you say front, sitting or living room?

What about 'Which of you FUCKERS wants to be first?' unsteadyninja?

Haunted eh?

Have you had anything you can't explain happen while you've been there?

This would do my fucking head in. If they're ringing your doorbell and generally being nuisance ring your local police station and get them to send a car over to move them on. Personally I would feel too intimidated to go out to them and moan.

Socks disappear alot. In fact everything disappears alot ..... I think thats my disorgansiation though rather than something weird.

There is a corner in the front room where none of the animals will go. Actually makes the dogs whine and the cats hiss. thats a bit weird. Not got an explanation for that one.

Its not a doorbell. Theyd have to have come past the dogs for that. We got one of them old stupid bells on a chain you know what I mean so people can get our attention if we are up the yard and they are too frightened to come past the dogs and to save them from the killer chicken. Theyve only done it once so far. Police are useless. Itll take them 10 years to respond. Im quite happy to go out and ask them to move, but I reckon I would have to do it in some crazy way as im only 5' 4" and asking nicely probably wont work. Im also sure that if they approached me the dogs would cause them to back off. If all else failed I would shoot them

solomum hes the second one ive had that does the whole anyone can come in but noone can leave lark. Not nasty about people not leaving butas they get up to go he just plonks himself down in the doorway, and if people approach he sits up and watchs them. Most people stand still at that point, seem to be phased by rather large dog giving them the evils. Hell let them out at a signal though. Weird.

Zigzag,that's what I meant but it's too late for my poor brain to write iron country speak
Personally I say livingroom but really of you want to be posh it's sitting room (according to my toffee nosed mil)!!

AgentZigzag · 01/10/2011 00:02

Does it ever shit you up being in such an isolated place that has a reputation for being haunted?

Isolation's always used like that in horror films etc, I would find it difficult to shake off the feeling.

I shouldn't really be asking you when it's dark and just chimed the witching hour should I?

AgentZigzag · 01/10/2011 00:04

Sorry to ask so many questions fallen

But does the 'corner' bother you at all?

I mean I would avoid like the plague even though I'm not convinced about stuff like that, I'm just really good at putting the frighteners on myself

See its weird, because I am usually the worst person for horror films. Its the suspense that gets me .. the waiting for bad stuff to happen. Cant stand it. But i think I grew up here so to me its normal. I think nothing of wandering through the woods in the pitch black on my own, but am scared witless wandering from a pub to the carpark in town. I also never realised it was haunted until we did some research on it about 10 years ago.

Now the corner has a large lamp in it. (plugs dont work though) so i dont have to go to the corner, but no I dont like sitting in the chair by the lamp. When I was younger I was convinced that someone else lived here with us.

and no you shouldnt .. its dark, and spooky and i wont know if im about to be killed by an axe murderer as ive shut the dogs in, and if he breaks in they wont bother until he tries to go out again!!!

i live on a busy road which young lads shitheads take it upon themselves to sit outside my house on the main road and blast music from their cars.
i have on occasion gone outside with my large very hair German Shepard and told them to fuck off else where! they usually shit their pants and bugger off.
my gs is also soft as shit and will lick a visitor to death but any uninvited guest best hope they can run faster than her. she is extremely loyal and i adore her she is very protective over our family and i am boss mummy. if me and dp have an argument she will bark at him and stand by my side bless her.
i would go out there and tell them to piss off because they are being more than a noise nuisance now pestering you on your own property.

Are they in a car? And drinking? Ring the fuzz

AhsataN · 01/10/2011 00:17

just open the door make sure you have the dogs by your side and tell them loud and clear "you are taking the piss now fuck off and shut up before i call the police". then if they dont, call the police why should you have to put up with the little tossers.

AgentZigzag · 01/10/2011 00:48

Brilliant

It's always worth investing in an axe wielding/scary as fuck reputation

AhsataN · 01/10/2011 00:51

yey! good im glad its sorted, there is nothing worse than feeling slightly on edge in your own home. they have seen you now so any myths should be fully dispersed. their curiosity fulfilled you aren't headless and floating!

AgentZigzag · 01/10/2011 00:56

'their curiosity fulfilled you aren't headless and floating!'

Do you know that for sure AhsataN?

MN's haunted.

AhsataN · 01/10/2011 01:24

well i have noticed some strange creatures frequenting mn recently.
OP my uncle is a diary farmer in Devon and lives in a very old farm house that originally had a mill; attached to it. old stone steps leading upstairs in the house that are all worn down and a huge fireplace so big you could walk right into it.
the house is supposed to be haunted its in the history books by 2 young girls who were killed by their father the mill owner.

lollilou · 01/10/2011 11:15

Please do not go outside and threaten gangs of lads with a gun they will run to the police who will send an armed response unit in and arrest you and take you to court where you will be threatened with a prison sentence which will be left hanging over your head until the trial is over then if you are lucky you will have to pay a huge fine and court costs. This happened to a good friend of mine.

AgentZigzag · 01/10/2011 11:50

Is it possible you've missed the OPs tongue in her cheek lollilou?
