To wish the teenage girls shrieking outside our house would just fuck off?

[ipswichwitch]

Every bloody weekend (and sometimes weeknights) a gaggle of teenage girls sit on our neighbours driveway wall and just shriek at top volume to each other. I'm fucking sick of it. They wake 11mo DS2 every time - the only other place I can have him sleep is downstairs with us until we go to bed by which time they have usually gone. Confronting them or even politely asking them to stfu makes it worse, as our other neighbour found out when he tried.

Why the hell do they find our street so fascinating (it really isn't and I know most of them don't even live here) and why the hell can't they converse on a level lower than a million decibels? I'm sure I never felt the need to shriek and squeal every 30 seconds when I were a lass, so why the fuck do they????

It's really fucked me off tonight as I have a lovely pizza waiting downstairs, and now DS is awake he's decided he wants another bf.

Our teenager doesn't like our cat scarer (high pitched electronic device - inaudible to adults) in the garden. Perhaps you could get one of those.

I would just go and pull up a chair next to them with a glass of wine, a book and just not say anything. At first they'll think it's funny and be like wtf is this woman doing. And then they'll start to feel uncomfortable and leave... Probably.

A gaggle of screechy girls would drive me insane my dd are so high pitched only dogs and bats can hear them

I feel your pain OP, I had this for about 2 years (then they started clubbing and left us alone).

I wish I had handled it like Trouble, but I turned into a fishwife instead. They would scream every evening until around 10, under DD's bedroom window. DD has epilepsy and needs more sleep than most. We ended up cramped into a smaller room so that DD could have our big room at the back of the house. They could still be heard, but it wasn't quite as intense.

Super soaker aimed from the upper window? (I live round the corner from a pub and have been fantasising about this for YEARS).

Love the sitting with them idea!

If they are causing a public disturbance and are not on their own property just call 101 as soon as they start, call every time. They will get moved on -unfortunately they will try their luck somewhere else as it doesn't solve the problem of their crap upbringing but at least it will solve it for you - or if they are bothering a few households then all go out together to speak to them.

Unfortunately they are idiots and their parents don't care as long as they are not bothering them.

Any local dogs needing to relieve themselves along the fence? Only so many dog poos they'd be willing to step in (in the dark!) before they don't come back.
