To think it should be legal to shoot tranquilliser darts at people

[SuperMuddle]

...who think it's OK to walk down a residential street late at night chatting loudly or singing drunkenly?

It wouldn't create any additional noise, wouldn't cause any lasting damage to the obnoxious twat, and would be highly satisfying.

They could then be cleared off the street early the following morning with the judicious application of a klaxon to the ear.

Not that I'm in any way pissed off with the inconsiderate, antisocial fucknuggets...

Only if you net them and relocate them somewhere safe humanely.

They don't just keel over. It would most likely make them stagger into the road where they would be run down with lots of screeching and screams and then sirens and shouting.

Which doesn't sound that peaceful.

Im with Billie they are going to litter the place. fucknuggets

nerf gun, supasoaka, hosepipe, yeah oldie pisspot

how do you spell yea yee ?? argh

LOVE fucknuggets! Best thing about MN is that I have learned so many awesome insults! And in answer to your question, YANBU - it does my head in too!

Dammit, billy, don't ruin my fantasy!

YABU. They must be punished, and I don't think a klaxon is going to do the trick. They're not going to make the connection between bad behaviour, and a consequence 8 hours or so later that doesn't "follow on" from the behaviour in question.

I think it has the makings of a plan though. How about:

1. Tranquiliser dart.
2. A standard template paragraph is printed on offender's forehead in semi-permanent ink, explaining why they are a twat and what has happened to them. You could get an ink stamp or transfers made up.
3. Klaxon.
4. Mirror held up in front of offender's face, so they associate loud noise and public humiliation with bad behaviour.

Can I also suggest a built in function for car alarms. If the alarm is left to go off for more than five minutes at a stretch, it will trigger a small but incredibly pungent stink bomb inside the vehicle key housing mechanism.

...the inconsiderate, antisocial fucknuggets...

Because assault and Actual Bodily Harm are the hallmarks of a socially responsible person

Let he who is without sin, etc. etc.

Whenever I hear a group coming down my street on Friday evening, I am so tempted to set the burglar alarm off or simulate loud sex, just to be louder than them and piss them off.

Kinda defeats the purpose, I know...

Perhaps we should go back to the days when people emptied their chamberpots out of the window...

WMittens Quite. Because the OP is in deadly earnest.

Don't be silly. I like pointing out irony and hypocrisy, and judging people as antisocial (while, ironically, enjoying a bit of a drink and a singsong with their friends) in one breath and advocating harm to them in the next is a perfect example. I find the idiocy of the statement amusing and despairing in equal parts.

The OP comes across as a bitter cunt in the classic Victor Meldrew tradition, that their pleasure must take precedence over anyone else's jollity as though they are somehow more deserving. And I cast this judgement as a tee-total introvert, so I'm not casting my lot with the drunken lushes.

Why do people get so angry about other people enjoying themselves? I think it's great hearing people have fun, let them enjoy their lives you miserable bastards.

Personally I think intolerant arseholes should have their fingernails ripped off with pliers. That'll teach them.

OP you're much more humane than me! I here the mental double click of a prepared shotgun in my head whenever something similar happens outside my house.

Drunken Lout: "Tracy! Tracy! I fuckin' luv ya Traceee!"
Me: "Tsch-Tsch" (sound of shotgun being set)

Wow, WMittens.
Maybe you should have a drink, might lighten you up a little?

Are you absolutely sure about that? Because that would render every single person on MN unable to type.

I quite like it. I was in last night listening to clubbers wandering past at all hours.

We used to live in a teeny house surrounded by others, we could actually see into the neighbours kitchen, and if there was any noise of any sort, it caused ructions somewhere. Grim.

Now, hoards of (sometimes drunken) people walk straight past the house without giving it a second glance. We can be right in the thick of things, without anyone dreaming of ringing the front door bell. They just yell their way past, in a totally distanced fashion.

The children are immune, and never wake up. I am agog at the young wans.

I like it. Long may it last

Last night - 2.30am to be precise - I was ][

I think the problem with a tranquilizer dart is that it isn't painful. A Taser gun should do the trick.

Wow, WMittens.

"I think it's great hearing people have fun,"

I'm not the one wound so tight I want to shoot people

You know like they have for cats? Water pistols. Filled with mace. And/or fire.

i think you're being extremely reasonable. ffs WMittens, lighten up.

but then i am the person who came out at 1am in my dressing gown to shout OI YOU DIRTY BASTARD at the drunk guy pissing on our car and got to enjoy watching him try to drunkenly make a run for it with his dick hanging out of his trousers. comedy gold - and worth pissing off my neighbours!

Or failing that, hurling a can of Red Bull at them? VBRJ as a last resort?

im another that mentally shoots drunk loud people with a shoot gun

im surrounded by students and its a blooming nightmare... especially our direct neighbours on the left that keep playing fecking craig david very loudly between 4-5am every morning

to those that say lighten up... you are either part of the problem, or you really dont have a clue about how noisy people can be!

@ shoot gun

clearly ment shot gun!
