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?

Maybe he has accidentally nailed his ballsack to the wall while doing some diy and is trying to call for help? I would definitely call the police Wink

😂 I needed that laugh 😂

Concerned. As if😂

Ukholidaysaregreat · 03/05/2020 18:40

GrinGrin I love this thread. Might go out and start shouting Ballsack myself.

Triggahippy · 03/05/2020 18:40

You want to call the police because someone might be shouting ‘ballsack’
Wtf

Peppafrig · 03/05/2020 18:40

You want to phone the police because you think you might hear someone shouting ball sack . But your not even sure where it is coming from and who is saying it. It could be a parrot . It could be a man with special needs . Who knows . It's not a big deal. Phone the police when you have a real problem and stop being so precious and over dramatic.

Peppafrig · 03/05/2020 18:41

Could also be a preteen playing a game of bogey but instead shouting ballsack. We used to play such games all the time .

vodkaredbullgirl · 03/05/2020 18:42

I keep telling my dd to stop fucking swearing, when the door is open.

Hairdowntohisknees · 03/05/2020 18:42

OMG I'd love a parrot that shouted Ballsack

PAN44 · 03/05/2020 18:42

This has cheered me right up! Reminded me of my poor friend who had a neighbour 2 doors up who rigged up some kind of home stereo palaver in his garden 'shed' and would sing karaoke loudly late at night. Followed by him using the mic to very loudly call his cat..!

alwaysstressed · 03/05/2020 18:42

He's calling someone a baw sack

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 03/05/2020 18:42

I am imagining this Sherlock and Watson duo now just walking around, shaking their head, Sherlock sneaking around neighbourhood trying to hear where it's coming from while Watson here is checking from upstairs window😂

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 18:43

I’d be more concerned if someone was shouting help.

Ballsack? Not so much.

I’d maybe phone the police if there was a sentence with help and ballsack being shouted.

CurlyhairedAssassin · 03/05/2020 18:44

Just the title of this thread made me guffaw...

Thanks, OP!

iklboo · 03/05/2020 18:45

Call the police? Why? It's not the worst language and within 'noise permitted' hours. What would you want the police to do?

ALovelyBitOfSquirrel · 03/05/2020 18:45

It's not Martin from
Friday Night Dinner is it ?

It is if he's got his top off Grin

SuperlativeScrubs · 03/05/2020 18:45

Imagine knocking on someones door to ask why they are yelling Ballsack.

Maybe you should yell something too OP. You could time it to shout Hairy just before him to confused the rest of the neighbours.

Winterwoollies · 03/05/2020 18:47

So much here has made me laugh.

The clearly inferior house as it’s rented ‘as rooms’ 😱.

The ‘concern‘ for the inferior house’s occupants.

The semantic satiation of the word ‘ballsack’.

But mainly the posters’ suggestions. Geniarse.

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/05/2020 18:47

And what exactly is the problem with someone shouting ballsack every so often?

TokyoSushi · 03/05/2020 18:47

Oh OP, I am literally crying with laughter! GrinGrinGrinGrin

ScarlettDarling · 03/05/2020 18:48

Nothing useful to add op but please do update and let us know what the police say when you ring! Grin

Sonichu · 03/05/2020 18:49

Please phone the police and record the call. I need a laugh.

Lynda07 · 03/05/2020 18:49

"Unfortunately our house does not overlook their garden."

What's unfortunate about it? Do you want to be able to see into someone's garden? Be thankful they can't see into yours. Privacy is everything.

At least if your children start shouting, "Ballsack", you'll be able to say, "They didn't get it from us".

BMW6 · 03/05/2020 18:50

Shout "Minge" in response OP.

Let us know how it goes.

OmgThereAreNoPlanesAboveMeNow · 03/05/2020 18:51

You can always shout back "Labia!"

Peppafrig · 03/05/2020 18:52

He is probably cracking up shouting ballsack and watching you trying to work out where it is coming from . Probably laughing at you and your husband getting all cats bum mouth about it rounding around your garden. Do people actually waste the polices time with this. If they do they should be charged .
