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?

I think we should all stand on our doorsteps at 8pm tomorrow night and sporadically shout MUMSNET!

Like a sort of Mexican Mumsnet wave around the UK.

winewolfhowls · 03/05/2020 21:40

He's shouting ballsack for the NHS. Obs.

WorraLiberty · 03/05/2020 21:41

Or a Ballsack bellow.

Whatever anyone else is up for.

PrincessConsueIaBananaHammock · 03/05/2020 21:42

His ballsack brings all the snitches to the yard...

EdInjury · 03/05/2020 21:43

A sneeze and a shout of "arseholes" is my version of wanker cough.

Although now I feel enabled to widen my repertoire, when encountering disabilist bastards. Thanks MN.

Probably studying French literature, specifically Honoré de Balzac

Laughed out loud

Butchyrestingface · 03/05/2020 22:07

Clearly not in Scotland, OP, with this “ball sack” pish.

Everyone knows its BAWBAG.

@HebeMumsnet
Is this and the McDonalds thread the same poster perchance??

Chillipeanuts · 03/05/2020 22:12

Baldrick?

Ajollygoodwrap · 03/05/2020 22:25

I wish OP could come back and give us more ammunition 'updates'.

wictional · 03/05/2020 22:33

Shout back "FANNY FLAPS" and see what response you get

I’ve laughed myself into a coughing fit at this Grin

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 22:43

I’m wondering if the OP is considering where to go next.

Might her downstairs loo be out of action due to a giggly bellied handyman thus preventing her using it as a sanctuary to escape the shouting?

Might her cleaner have polished the floor under the rug (she may as well have put a man trap down to those old enough to remember) and she is currently debating whether to dock her wages?

Has someone found chicken nuggets in the freezer (oh the humanity!) and she has passed out?

All fairly good reasons for not replying/coming back.

Although I’m laying money on the fact that her husband is going out the front door, shouting ballsack in a furrin accent, then sneaking back in to watch his Missus go crimson for the shits and giggles....

Asuitablecat · 03/05/2020 23:08

Pre teen Ds spends a lot of time shouting 's crew you' on.fort nite.

It's like I've transported an angry teen.from.a 90s American film.into my living room.

agonyauntie2020 · 04/05/2020 00:27

I'm so happy. After being down in the dumps for days over a parking thread I loved so much I set my alarm so I could get up early and read the replies...but which turned out to be a wind up, totally blindsided me, I actually got this one early on, when OP said this:

"We have brought them up (reasonably) well and one has attended an independent secondary school which achieves outstanding results each year"

So, way before she turned anti-Eastern European (to the easy ones).

Good effort OP and great replies.

CandyLeBonBon · 04/05/2020 00:31

Oh bless the OP!

AndNoneForGretchenWieners · 04/05/2020 00:33

I went to an independent secondary school that achieves amazing results too. I achieved the ability to swear in four different languages including Latin. Ballsack, however, is not swearing.

SofiaAmes · 04/05/2020 03:59

Could be worse. After a whole year of expensive private Italian lessons, my ds learned all the swear words and my dd learned how to say "my unicorn is on fire."

B0bbin · 04/05/2020 04:37

Grin glad I'm on mumsnet for threads like these.

Reginabambina · 04/05/2020 04:50

So it’s an Eastern European accent? This brings the Balzac theory back into play. How are they pronouncing it? It is Baylsak (with a very short sak) or boalzek?

squeekums · 04/05/2020 05:43

This is just pure gold

Cressless · 04/05/2020 05:46

Here’s an idea, OP. Have a whiparound, and send all the ‘easy Europeans’ to independent secondaries and then onto a Swiss finishing school. That way they will be too refined to shout BALLSACK AND they’ll be able to get out of a sports car in a miniskirt without flashing their knickers.

lollipoplola · 04/05/2020 05:53

Op, I attended private school from age 4 - I can swear with the best of them though ballsack isn't my preferred option. I usually go for something like for fucks sake.

Seriously though this is definitely not a police matter.

Arewehere · 04/05/2020 06:01

Im crying, especially about the cat & the microphone.

Then willy, willy, willy set me off.

Mascotte · 04/05/2020 06:15

Brilliant 😂😂😂

WellThisIsShit · 04/05/2020 10:51

Ha!!!
