AIBU to be annoyed at neighbours children

My neighbours daughter(and her friends) is 13 and has recently started jumping my wall outside of my house which means she gets to her house quicker.
The wall is low and is easy to jump, its right outside of my lounge window and after a day at work and when the kids are in bed the last thing i want is 4 teenage girls running around outside my house, i just want to relax.
Now that the weathers better i always put garden chairs up against the wall, now they are jumping the wall onto the chairs!
Ive spoken to her once and told her not to jump my wall but has she listened, No.
AIBU?

Really IamAShit ? Hmm

Speak to the parents OP

BullshitS70 · 15/05/2015 19:34

Talk to her parents?

That or barbed wire on top of the wall

Shrubs in pots?

No wonder you're a shit lawyer with an outlook like this! Have a quick word with her parents OP.

Washing up bowls of cold water

Higher wall? Yabu. I teach my dc not to run over neighbours front gardens on the way to school (difficult as few have boundaries/hedges) but they've got to learn about respecting other people's property.

SomedayMyPrinceWillCome · 15/05/2015 21:55

Holly bushes or something similarly prickly?

amybear2 · 15/05/2015 22:01

I don't think I would come to you for legal advice shithot!!!

FlabulousChix · 15/05/2015 22:02

Personally I'd shout out the window stop it you cunts

HaloKelly23 · 15/05/2015 22:05

I second the broken glass. A slice straight through her slice and some nasty Hep B should teach her a lesson.

HaloKelly23 · 15/05/2015 22:06

That obviously meant to say leg, I was slicing ham today I'll blame that. I've a taste for blood Grin

Pipbin · 15/05/2015 22:07

Has everyone on this thread had a sense of humour bypass? I assume that Shithot was making a joke.

MisForMumNotMaid · 15/05/2015 22:07

Speek to the parents.

If that fails Pigeon spikes.

Or to look nice low trellis mounted on top of the wall to make it higher.

Broken glass bottles would do the trick.

SaltaKatten · 15/05/2015 22:08

Put yucky stuff on the chairs

thetroubleis · 15/05/2015 22:08

Berberis. They'll be picking thorns out thier bums for a week.

lunar1 · 15/05/2015 22:11

I planted rose bushes.

Georgina1975 · 15/05/2015 23:01

I had glass in the wall of my last house...

...anyway. Ask her to stop it? Or a bit of anti-climb paint?

  1. Roar at her
  2. Speak to parents
  3. Roar at parents
  4. Prickly shrubs
  5. Broken glass bottles
  6. Nuclear missile.

In an ideal world what you should be able to do is raise the height of the wall by about 3mm every night. So little that she won't even notice the incremental changes but over time it will get harder and harder. After 3 or 4 months she will start to get really concerned over how much more effort it has become and she will stop bothering and go away upset and confused as to why her fitness levels have declined so unexpectedly.

And reading The Twits it would seem.

Put a hidden carefully angled trampoline in place and entertain yourself with them pinging back from whence they came?

Point out that trespassing is a civil matter and she is a minor, so you're not involving the police, but you are suing her parents?

Buy a fucking great big bear.

Or a shark.
