AIBU - Neighbour yelling “Ballsack”

318 replies

Charlbugh · 03/05/2020 18:04

DH and I have lived here for in excess of 10 years. It’s a nice area and we get along with most of our neighbours, or at least the ones in our road that we know.

There is one house two doors down that appears to be rented out as rooms. We don’t tend to see or hear much from them, just occasionally we see a new face going in and out the gate.

We have been at home all day today, as have DD1 and DD2 (as it is the weekend). Every half hour or so, I have heard angry shouting coming from somewhere - I assume from the house with rented rooms. DH has been out to try and work out what is happening, but cannot see anything. Unfortunately our house does not overlook their garden. He says that when he’s outside all he can hear is a male voice shouting what appears to be “ballsack”.

I am concerned for the persons wellbeing, as this is not normal behaviour. DH says to ignore it, I would prefer to call the police and have them look into it as it is not sensible nor appropriate behaviour. AIBU?

This really does need to go in classics, come on now.

MarieIVanArkleStinks · 03/05/2020 20:46

I'm laughing like Mutley here ...

HRH2020 · 03/05/2020 20:48

Don't zap it! So funny

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 03/05/2020 20:48

Generally easy European, you know the sort.

I'm more of a hard European so I normally shout " cunting fucking fuck cunt".

My sort would kick the easy sort's ballsack.Grin

Perhaps you may be mishearing what is being said? Perhaps it is your brain that is being "inappropriate"?

In addition, only "not normal" if you are someone who has way too much time on your hands and issues with people who have behaviour that is different from your own. Perhaps we should all become clones to avoid being "inappropriate" or "not normal", by your standards?

As someone who is Autistic, I find it bizarre how many Neuroptypicals make assumptions about what is "normal" and "appropriate" and then telephone the police because someone in a house nearby is shouting once an hour on the hour. Meanwhile, there is a pandemic going on, thousands dying and people living hand to mouth all over the world.

Talk about first world problems. Give me strength.

You've probably misheard their kid's name, OP.

'Balonz' can sound awfully similar.

danigrace · 03/05/2020 20:51

A bit disappointed this wasn't legit, but have laughed my head off at the responses, cheered me right up! Thanks all!

CathyorClaire · 03/05/2020 20:53

Oh, and the whisper to shout word here is 'bogies'.

We are Dick and Dom oldskool Wink

Rebelwithallthecause · 03/05/2020 20:54

My son says ballsac

He’s 2 and I don’t yet know what he thinks he’s saying.

Sorry if it’s him

ThighThighofthigh · 03/05/2020 20:55

Perhaps he's utterly desperate for a shag and advertising his best feature?

Is he Russian?

LakieLady · 03/05/2020 20:56

I now want another dog or a cat, so I can call it Balzac and shout the name out loud.

Wonder if any of my neighbours would call the police?

iklboo · 03/05/2020 20:56

@TomTumTum - it's a troll thread. Please don't let it upset you.

AlbusSeverusMalfoy · 03/05/2020 20:56

I was brought up reasonably well and went to and independent secondary school. A catholic one I might add. I say cunt a lot.

@WorraLiberty similar to the loser sneeze?

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 21:00

I absolutely think you should call the police and report that your neighbour has been yelling 'what sounds like ballsack' all afternoon. And then please report back to us what their response is

One would imagine they’d just mutter ‘ballsack* and hang up.

SuperMumTum · 03/05/2020 21:00

In the late 90s there was a craze at music festivals for people to shout "bollocks" randomly all evening around the campsites. Maybe he took too much acid at Glastonbury one year and is having some kind of flashback?

TurquoiseDress · 03/05/2020 21:03

After some stressful days, I'd love to stand in the garden shouting KNOBHEAD at the top of my voice!

I think I'm still about 13 yrs old at heart

Grin

I've never heard of that but I can just imagine it Grin

The version of the game where I grew up was PENIS. It was, out of cleverness, known as the Penis Game. There was something particularly funny about shouting out an anatomically correct word.

carriebreadshaw · 03/05/2020 21:09

I read this whole thread and the word ballsack just looks and sounds ridiculous to me now

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 21:09

It can be rough as arses round here - I include myself in that obviously.

I don’t think anyone would bat an eyelid at someone yelling ballsack.

What did get my eyebrow vibrating was the cat who was getting called in when I was walking home from work.

Tarquin.

A shocker when every second word you hear is a wrong’un.

Tarquin.

I did think the chap was being funny or taking the mick. Until I saw Tarquin bomb past me to get his bedtime Dreamies.

Thurmanmurman · 03/05/2020 21:20

I needed this OP, it's been a bad day but I'm crying with laughter here. See their Ball Sack and raise them PISS FLAPS! 😂😂

GlomOfNit · 03/05/2020 21:22

I was going to suggest that perhaps Jessica Yaniv had come over to the UK in the hopes of finding a beautician who was suitably compliant, and was, even now, instructing that beautician on the correct area to wax ... but I see it's a wind up thread. Grin

I might try shouting Ballsack! into the garden tomorrow. Sounds cathartic.

TomTumTum · 03/05/2020 21:27

@iklboo - yup spot on! Someone with wayyyyyyy tooooo much timmmme on theirrrrrr hands!
