MY BLOODY NEIGHBOUR!!!

39 replies

ICanHearYou · 22/07/2014 21:32

This is the second night running that she has STOOD under my childrens window (open because its hot) and SHOUTED into a mobile phone.

I don't care if you think that you are so hard done by because the RSPCA took the animals you abandoned in the garden

I don't care about your new car

Your sisters issues

Now something about chickens.

Its endless. An hour and a half she was out there last night.

GIVE ME STRENGTH!

tell her shut the fuck up ask her to move inside?

DiaDuit · 22/07/2014 21:37

Ask her politely if she could keep the noise down. failing that, Buy a fan and shut the window.

Could you rustle up a tactical vomit?

lettertoherms · 22/07/2014 21:40

Ask her to come stand under your bedroom window instead of the children's, you'd really like to know what's going on with the chickens but her screech doesn't carry quite far enough.

It sounds like the neighbour's trying to make a point in a PA way. Do they think that you're the one responsible for the removal of their animals?

I'm all for politely asking a neighbour not to wake the DC but under the circumstances I'd be a little cautious just in case the loud discussion is an attempt to get a reaction. I feel for you, the behaviour's rude, thoughtless and unnecessary.

FunkyBoldRibena · 22/07/2014 21:45

Say very loudly 'It's alright [child's name] - don't worry about wetting the bed again, I'll just wring it out the window and then wash the sheets in the morning'...then wring out a nice sopping wet cloth. Out of the window. Onto her. Try to stop your child from having hysterics.

No?

Just me then...

BridgettRousselot · 22/07/2014 21:47

I second her making PA phone calls because she thinks you reported her to the RSPCA.

steppemum · 22/07/2014 21:58

I'm with you funky - empty a flower pit out of the window.

Patrickstarisabadbellend · 22/07/2014 22:00

Play knock and run on her door Grin

Ahahahaaha love the suggestions guys.

She is most definitely doing it to get a reaction and she absolutely blames me for the removal of her animals and 'as soon as the police tell her who done it they will get it'

All I did, actually, was ask advice on what to feed the animals that they left for a week with no food or water, the RSPCA man did the rest.

She went on and on about her new 4x4 which would 'make everyone jealous' and how she would get more ducks and 'keep them in the garage' so nobody knew about them

she is barking mad. Today I heard her call her 2 year old a 'Cunt' and tell her 9 year old that she was going to 'lay her the fuck out' talking about her 5 year old. They are horrendous.

Is this a follow on from the thread the other day about the ducks left in a tiny cage in the garden? This woman sounds delightful, and i agree with the super soaker idea ;)

steppemum · 22/07/2014 22:08

yes kelper, I was going to ask that, is this the woman who went on holiday and left ducklings and guinea pig with no food or water?

BridgettRousselot · 22/07/2014 22:08

What is laying someone out? Is that something that happens as a result of assault?

Frankly the whole RSPCA thing has been a godsend, I can now go into my own garden without the Spanish Inquisition or being told a huge pile of lies such as

'the council are going to come and put a brand new fence in'

the council here don't put fences in and actually she was talking completely out of her arse, she has since put up 3 old second hand fence panels (thank fuck) that it will probably take another six months to get properly secured but at least mean I don't have to bloody look at them insulting their children and ranting about everything.

She has a dodgy knee and has to have a really full on operation to correct it, they offered her a slot (after being on the waiting list for years having got the go ahead from the consultants of what they were going to do) for the 12th December and she turned it down because she 'didnt want to be put out over christmas' so they put her at the bottom of the list again and have just reassessed to find that they cannot now do what she wanted (deterioration) and she will be disabled for the rest of her life.

This was all told to me with an air of 'aren't the NHS a pointless waste of time' etc etc with no comprehension that she could have just bloody gone and had the op and dealt with one Christmas with her leg in cast and it would be over.

They drive me mad, less so now because they don't speak to me but the shouting under the childrens window has to stop. Unfortunately I think any urine/vomit/flower pots would fall short, she is out on the lane and we have a (small) front garden.

My neighbour has been a total bellend of late and is quite aggressive. What he doesn't know is that the stop cock for their water is inside my house (I know, weird) and I'm about to go on holiday for two weeks. Whoops seems I accidentally turned the wrong one!

ICanHearYou · 22/07/2014 22:11

Yes thats that charmer. She is convinced that whoever 'dobbed her in' has wasted police time and she will find out who contacted the police and 'get them'

I've told the police all of this and also reported to the neighbourhood officer (we are council) who told me that she had not given permission for waterfowl to be in the garden (the neighbours told me they had special permission) and that she wouldnt' be granting it.

Most of her inane ranting about the ducks has boiled down to that she 'left food in the shed and running water in a hose pipe in the garden so they can't do me for not leaving them with food or water' the logic is really quite special isn't it.

I love the idea that the ducks can get out of their pen and go and get their own food!

Yes amazing creatures ducks, can survive without any paddling water or water to dunk their heads, require no care whatsoever and can turn on hosepipes and fill little bowls to drink out of.

I'm really glad she's had those ducks took off her.. poor little buggers :(

Yes the ducks and the guinea pig, which also had no food or water for a week despite having one of those huge bottle things (completely bone dry)

So who knows how long it had been like that.

Anyway the RSPCA man is investigating at the moment and will decide whether or not to return the animals I imagine this week. They won't be able to keep the ducks regardless though because the council won't grant them permission to do so.

The ducks are safe and well with enough water to bathe their heads, I am really glad the RSPCA took the whole situation so seriously and hopefully the lack of remorse/understanding/want to change on part of the neighbours will prevent them from having them back.

They have already said they really didn't like the RSPCA man (who was lovely)

Well, he was probably lovely to you, but I doubt he was lovely to them!
