WiBU to post shitty nappies through my neighbour's door?

They'd never know it was me - there are a million small babies and toddlers on our road. All with parents who must hate the thoughtless inconsiderate cunts as much as I do.

DD has not been sleeping because of worms, and last night actually slept - miracle of miracles - from 12.30 - 4.30. But fucking neighbours a few doors down were in their garden pissed and shouting shit loudly til 3. They kept waking me up. I shouted at them to shut the fuck up - nothing. So I called the police, who told me to call the council, which I did.

But before either could arrive, my dad (who is visiting), went out in the garden and ROARED at them to shut up. I didn't hear what he said as I was on the phone, but it must have been persuasive as they immediately ran indoors and then scarpered in two taxis.

However, they robbed me of lterally the only sleep I could have hoped to get all week. They are therefore cunts, and I would be within my rights to post shit through their letterbox, right?

Alternative suggestions welcome.

Complete side note, but how did you know dd had worms?

CrohnicallyAspie · 20/09/2015 16:11

To help the itching and hopefully help you all get some sleep tonight- use sudocrem around her anus at night and make her wear pants and all-in-one pyjamas. The cream stops the worms being able to crawl out to lay their eggs (which is what causes the itching). The pants and pjs keep the cream in place and prevents scratching.

Schooltrouble- you can see the worms around the bum at night or in the child's poo.

Continuing the worms aside, I don't ever remember them being a thing when I was young, or DD. Everyone on MN seems to have had them.

Well, 3am in your own garden on one of the last Saturday evenings of summer - not that bad, as a one off. Depends how often it is. But it was Saturday night...they could have been having a BBQ. Did you try knocking on their door to ask them to keep the noise down?

No, of course you shouldn't post shitty nappies through their door. If it happens a lot, follow proper channels. Though you would think the police and council would have a record of it if they did.

I totally agree - as a one-off.Everyone has had a noisy, 2am party, once.
Problem is, scremersford, that tere are no 'proper channels'. Environmental health will be guided by the HA, and they do nothing

ptumbi · 20/09/2015 19:56
  • especially if it is a 'vulnerable adult' (in which case, shouldn't they be in 'care'?). The NDN further down (terrace of 4 -the middle 2 are VAs on benefits, the outer two are hardworking owners.) was growing cannabis in his HA place - went to prison for 6 months as still came back to his house, in total violation of his tenancy agreement. His NDN has had to put up with sexual harassment, noise at any time of day or night (he doesn't know or care what time is) and bullying.

No one cares

waxweasel - on a separate note - have you seen the GP. the worm meds should kill the worms immediately, then the second dose 14 days later is just to cover in case any eggs were laid and remained in the intestine and weren't poo'd out.
one dose of meds should have killed the worms the day you gave it - so i can't understand why your dd is suffering.
if the meds didn't work - go to the GP and they can prescribe a different medication or a stronger dose. you wont need to wait another 5 days for another dose of the same drug.
your poor dd - the itching at night must be horrible for her. please see your GP tomorrow.

I bet your dad threatened to put shitty nappies through their letterbox

Spectre8 · 20/09/2015 23:27

yes you are being very unreasonable, deal with it through the proper channels if its a reoccurring issue otherwise if its a one-off then let it be but there is no need to stoop down to such a shitty level. Cannot believe people on here may actually be serious in saying you should do it.

Pico2 · 20/09/2015 23:29

I think bostonkremekrazy is right about the worms.

Also sorry you've got shitty neighbours. But your dad sounds great.

ReginaBlitz · 20/09/2015 23:47

Yes post shitty wormy nappies through their letterbox fucking filth. It was a one off Ffs no hardship compared to the people that have to put up with this shite every day of their lives!

Spectre8 · 20/09/2015 23:57

I have let 2yo DD out on her scooter in our friend yard. I said 'now remember DD, you can be as noisy as you like to wake up the naughty neighbours who drank too much boozy juice' and she said 'oh but I dont want to wake up the neighbours' (I wish she had such concern for waking ME up!). So I reminded her that they had woken mummy up and made mummy very sad and cross. This did the trick, and she set off with a resolute 'OK mummy! DD be real noisy'. Hurrah!

Just saw this....wtaf am I reading...you are teaching your child to go out and behave in the very manner (not drunk but being loud) that pissed you off in the first place over what is clearly not a regular issue.

Act like the adult you are and go over to your neighbour and explain how it would be great if next time they have a late nighter they could give you and some warning so at least you could prepare yourself for it.

SoupDragon · 21/09/2015 07:15

waxweasel it sounds like you and your neighbour deserve each other.
