To ram my neighbours wind chime up her arse?

It's 2 ft from my bedroom window, it serves no purpose and I like to sleep with the window open.

It's all I can hear.

Sticking it up her arse may be tricky but cutting it down in the middle of the night?

Remember to wear gloves OP, can anyone lend her a balaclava?

If her bedroom is at the back, so she can't hear the chime, then you put something 2ft from her window. I'd suggest one of those little lumberjacks that saws trees when it's windy or a cuckoo clock.

What you need is a pair of long handled loppers? Mine have got quite a reach! Snip.....

Loving all these ideas!

She has music blaring, it's drowning out the sound of the WC. I think she's heading out, lots of coming and going and mention of taxis being called. Operation Wind Chimes Be Gone shall be commencing shortly.

She must be related to my ndn. She has wind chimes and her dog shits in my garden. Luckily the wind chimes are not near my bedroom or I would be tempted to do as you suggest.

A man across the road from us had wind chimes, and couldn't understand why every neighbour complained, but obviously we were all unreasonable, so he left them.

One windy night, DH had had enough, and when they reached a jangly peak at about 2am, he headed out in his pj's to remove them. When he got to the garden gate, he met another neighbour (a policeman) on his way out with them!

Cut them down, wind chimes are horrible.

Love that story Jeanette

I'm quite keen on getting a little lumberjack that saws trees when it's windy

Our neighbour has just installed some WC which sound like a three year playing a xylophone badly - constantly. Aaagghh... Why do peope do this?

TaliZorahVasNormandy · 19/04/2014 22:09

My neighbours have WC, luckily I can only hear them in the parking area and not from the house.

I'd go potty if they were near my bedroom window.

Blithereens · 19/04/2014 22:11

DM had one of these when I lived at home. I always remember waking up to find her neighbours had dumped the chimes into a random bowl to shut them up Easter Grin

dramajustfollowsme · 19/04/2014 22:11

We complained and complained about the bloody wind chimes - as did every other neighbour.
The neighbour who has them is also partial to 2 weeks of VERY LOUD FIREWORKS, at the start of November, Hogmanay, any sunny day etc. No consideration for anyone else. Confused
One of our neighbours got them down before us and took them straight to the tip. They had been removed previously and binned but the neighbour must have raked through people's bins until he found them. Then stuck another set up as well.
This routine was repeated for a couple of years - people taking them down, them being replaced.
The whole neighbourhood practically partied quietly, obviously when the family moved out! Grin

TheVictorian · 19/04/2014 22:15

if you take down the wind chimes but leave them on the floor directly from where they were hanging it may look like they fell off from the wind blowing them.

Bluestocking · 19/04/2014 22:24

The fatal flaw with that plan, TheVic, is that the OP's NDN will probably just hang them up again. They have to be disposed of!

dorathedestroyer · 19/04/2014 22:34

Cut the chimes down while she's out, but before you arrange them to make it look as if they 'fell down in a high wind', smear them with some of the no doubt plentiful dog shit in her back garden. You might have to move a few poos for the chimes to 'land on' - plastic bags are handy, if no dog poo bags available.

They won't be going up again.

High five! Fist bump!!

Good work.

DontCallMeBaby · 19/04/2014 22:42

My windchimes have mysteriously jammed themselves into the fence in a way which almost certainly, but not definitely, didn't happen by chance. I suspect the neighbours. I did get them to annoy the neighbours, so I guess it worked. Smile

Quinteszilla · 19/04/2014 22:45
Easter Shock Her dog shat on your doorstep? And she has annoying windchimes? She told you to Fuck Off?

Does she have a black doberman, by name Kaya by any chance?

MissUumellmahaye · 19/04/2014 22:57

You should take the thing full circle and shit on her doorstep yourself.

Inconsiderate cah.

TiggyKBE · 19/04/2014 23:32

I've got a hyperpathetical question for you all. What would happen if you took down the wind chime and buried it on their property?
It's not theft as they still have it even if they don't know where it is. It's not criminal damage if you don't damage it. A bit of trespassing, but that's not that serious.

SconeRhymesWithGone · 19/04/2014 23:34

I have a theory that many people with wind chimes are either not at home much to hear them or have them in a place where only the neighbors can hear them, which is why gently removing them and putting them on the ground means they may stay there for a very long time. At least that has been my experience.

SocialNeedier · 19/04/2014 23:34

Lol. Excellent. I fucking hate wind chimes.

YourMaNoBraBackOfMyCar · 19/04/2014 23:35

Send her postcards of her wind chime photoshopped holidaying in various exotic locations.

Waltonswatcher1 · 19/04/2014 23:40

I thought I quite liked the idea of a wind chime ; not so sure now ...
