Overheard a huge row

[TechnicallyNo]

This has been playing on my mind and I'm wondering what others would have done. Behind my house is garages owned by the surrounding houses accessed by a private driveway down the side of my house. There is a couple that are always parked up down there as they obviously go there to meet. I don't know anything about them but I have seen them and they seem to be Muslim so this could be a secret relationship. I often smell weed in the garden and they leave a load of rubbish in front of the garage when they've gone.

Anyway yesterday they were parked down there and I could hear the woman wailing and crying and them arguing. My kids were enjoying the garden as it was a warm day and I had to take them in the house as they were being really loud. She was shouting about wanting to take her own life and he was retorting with shut the fuck up you stupid bitch and things like that.
I tried to call 111 but I was worried that if they knew I had then they might do something to my house. I dont know it was just a frightening situation and I wonder what you would have done?
I wanted to tell them to get lost because of the noise and the fact that there are children in all the surrounding gardens.

They calmed down eventually and the noise stopped but they are parked down there daily usually in the middle of the night so I still kind of want to tell them it was unacceptable and people could hear

Without a doubt, I would've shouted at them to BOTH stfu and to BOTH fuck off and never come back otherwise I'd be reporting them for littering, loitering, disturbing the peace, car idling and trespassing on a private road - I'd also tell them that they were being captured on cctv.

Did it say they were Muslim on their forehead? BTW I know quite a few ' Muslim' women who have had affairs, affairs got exposed, no domestic violence whatsoever. Around 3 women die per week in the UK from the hands of men. And I can guarantee most of the abusers are white.

Agree you should have called 999.

The woman wears a hijab obviously or I wouldnt have said I thought they were muslim. They are obviously hiding their relationship and have been meeting there for a good year at least. If they weren't in a secret relationship I assume they would find somewhere better to meet up than parked outside his garage. I never said what colour skin either of them had and I never mentioned race. I simply suspect from the woman wearing a hijab that she is muslim.
Also to reiterate they were having a non physical argument and if I had thought she was in danger I would have called 999

Genuinely want to know how they appeared Muslim.

FWIW I’d have called the police.

999 is for threats to life. The woman was threatening to take her own life. You should have called 999 instead of being pissed off about your peace being disturbed by a woman in distress. So they litter and argue. She's still a person who deserves to live. I get you're frustrated with their behaviour but can you switch to compassion mode for a second please.

@TechnicallyNo why didn't you say she had a hijab in your op? I think someone is trying to backtrack and making up stuff to fit her narrative. Next time call 101. Sorted

Wow, as usual Mumsnet has once again shown its true prejudice colours. Well done on the Muslim bashing and generalisation. Also I couldn't help but laugh at the poster who felt the need to Brag about her 'Religion degree"; love, that really ain't worth bragging about 😂

OP, mentioning the face that you suspect she was "obviously Muslim" in her "obviously secret" relationship has no purpose to your post other than to be goady, well done as you have clearly succeeded.

I think someone is trying to backtrack and making up stuff to fit her narrative.

This. OP is very clearly backtracking and either lied in the OP or made an awful assumption based on someone's skin colour....

Apparently they were also toking on massive spliffs while being obviously devout and about to elope/form a suicide pact which might harm OP’s house price...

If you don’t want them there put up a sign. If you run the car plates through DVLA you can see if they’re taxed and call the rozzers on that basis if you’re so keen... Hope you’re not waiting at the back window too long!

The virtue signalling on this thread is laughable.

I would have called the police OP, mostly for the weed but also the antisocial behaviour aspect. If there are several houses around you there's no possible way they could know it's you.

Where I live there is a private road at the back of the houses and gaps between the houses. In the past groups and couples of young Asian boys and girls have gathered between the houses. They are not doing any real harm but leave a lot of litter, cigarettes, drinks cans, etc. They can also be noisy and are on private property. Its doubtful if their parents would approve of their being there. I got up a relative to put up a dummy CCTV camera and an appropriate notice. They quickly found somewhere else to meet,

It’s probably just an illicit teenaged relationship. Is there any need to contact the police? Next time come just scare them off by knocking on their window and saying hi.

I think the main point here is a woman screaming that she wants to kill herself. I would have phoned the police for that alone.

Why did you feel the need to say they are Asian? Doesn't seem relevant at all to your example. You could have just said "young couples". If they were white would you have described them as such? If your answer is no (which I suspect it is but you won't admit that) than there is no reason to mention they were Asian.
