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?

one has attended an independent secondary school which achieves outstanding results each year.

Perhaps you should send them round to the renters. They’d be able to teach them how to say it in Latin so that your sensibilities aren’t quite so offended.

I'm sure if your Kids are in secondary they are well aware that men have ballsacks and their virtue won't have taken a knock. I'm sure the police could organise some victim support for you all when they come around.

Brownyblonde · 03/05/2020 19:07

Tee hee. That's funny. I'd be tempted to shout 'willy bum' back Grin

Warsawa31 · 03/05/2020 19:08

Maybe the guy is like hodor from game of thrones but instead of just saying “Hodor” he just says “ball sack”

EmpressLangClegInChair · 03/05/2020 19:08

Are you expecting a McDonalds takeaway today, OP?

Disquieted1 · 03/05/2020 19:10

Independent secondary school - can't argue with that.

His dog named Borzac has run off and he's calling for him to come home.

OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow · 03/05/2020 19:11

Oh fuck, it’s going to be my ds isn’t it.(sigh)
(He was erm, rather involved in a game once, didn’t know I was in, hot so bedroom door open, when the Jw Called. I was doing the polite, “no thank you” speech when he shouted out “Why don’t you just fuck off you stupid fuckwit!”. 🤭Tbf, they did) and no I don’t condone that. But the timing...

FTMF30 · 03/05/2020 19:11

Would you seriously call the police over that?

RJnomore1 · 03/05/2020 19:12

Perhaps it’s some sponsored thing fundraising for the nhs.

EmpressLangClegInChair · 03/05/2020 19:13

Literal translation would be ‘pila sacci’ and I don’t think it has quite the same ring as ballsack.

GreyGardens88 · 03/05/2020 19:13

You sound like a right busy body, stop obsessing over your neighbours. The comment where you wished you looked over their garden so you could spy on them is telling.

Medusa1 · 03/05/2020 19:14

Maybe he's having trouble waxing an intimate area. If it's all gone quiet that might be a bad sign - you should shout and ask if his ball sack's ok.....

bluemoon77 · 03/05/2020 19:15

It’s what cabin fever can do to a man OP. Nothing to worry about, he’s just letting off a bit of steam.

grumpyorange · 03/05/2020 19:15

@KerryMucklowe I came on to say the same thing. It seems a very Martin like thing to do

ememem84 · 03/05/2020 19:15

Would “testicle basket” be more appropriate ip?

Brownyblonde · 03/05/2020 19:15

I love the fact you think 'ballsack' is way beneath your children and their private education. It was indeed a ballsack that got you preggers with quentin and serephina in the first place don't cha know Halo

GinWithASplashOfTonic · 03/05/2020 19:17

Clearly you haven't realised that independent secondary schools are cesspits for language.

I think it might a kinky sex situation and Ballsack is either the safe word or what he has to shout when DTD

EmpressLangClegInChair · 03/05/2020 19:18

Maybe he’s been collecting for the Thigh women & he’s waiting for them to turn up?

MadameMeursault · 03/05/2020 19:18

Fenton! Fenton! Fenton!

grumpyorange · 03/05/2020 19:18

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

I'm sorry is this a joke! Two of my best friends were sent to a Hugh ranking independent school and are the worst ones for swearing. 'Ballsack' isn't what I'd call a swear word.

Are you worried they don't know what one is?

EmpressLangClegInChair · 03/05/2020 19:20

One of the unexpected bonuses of my girls’ grammar was learning to swear in Ancient Greek. I’ve forgotten it all now, sadly.

TooTrueToBeGood · 03/05/2020 19:20

Maybe he's taking advantage of lockdown to enjoy a marathon S&M session with his partner and ballsack is his safe word.

Peppafrig · 03/05/2020 19:21

How disappointing for the op that only one of her children attended an independent school. I feel so bad for the other one. They will no doubt end up as one of those 'renters' that you look down on.

SingleHandSue · 03/05/2020 19:22

@Cosyblanky

Is someone doing waxing and calling the next customer?

^ Howling at this!! 🤣🤣

Sn0tnose · 03/05/2020 19:22

Oh no, I agree. It’s definitely lacking something isn’t it?
