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?

Hahah this thread is gold. Martin from Friday night dinner sprung to my mind too! Shit on it!!! Grin

What if he has a son in that lowly rented accommodation by the name of zack and he's pleading with him to pick up a ball/balls he's left lying around 'Ball/balls!, zack!'

Undercoverworker06 · 03/05/2020 19:24

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

Actually laughed out loud at this!

I hope our children would not be the type to shout “ballsack”. We have brought them up (reasonably) well and one has attended an independent secondary school which achieves outstanding results each year. I’m sure they are perfectly capable of digression into “potty mouth”, but they would have the sense to know it isn’t acceptable.

No words just.... 🤣🙄😖🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Charlbugh · 03/05/2020 19:25

We’ve heard the neighbour again! It is definitely “ballsack” that is being shouted.

For those saying it is not from the “rental property” I can assure you, it is in one of the accents of those that usually live there. Generally easy European, you know the sort. I couldn’t say which country.

Now you are on the wind up .

steggybigback · 03/05/2020 19:27

is he playing a game of "bogies"? I used to watch Dick and Dom "bogies" back in my youth...the aim of the game is to take it in turns saying bogies, increasing the volume every time. I've just had a look on youtube and its still hilarious Grin

I reckon this thread should go into Classics just for this:

"I hope our children would not be the type to shout “ballsack”. We have brought them up (reasonably) well and one has attended an independent secondary school which achieves outstanding results each year."

Biscuit Is that you Hyacinth Bucket? Is Sheridan still at his outstanding Independent University?

Warsawa31 · 03/05/2020 19:28

So it could actually be a completely different word? In their language which you don’t understand.

If you have made up this tread can I just say bravo - each update is funnier and funnier

notmrpootles · 03/05/2020 19:28

You remind me very much of the woman who calls in the police because, from her bathroom window, she can see a bloke in the house the other side of the road with his tackle out.

The policeman comes and observes that from the bathroom window you couldn't see anyone. "Ah," cries the woman, "but stand on the cistern and then you can see!"

Played your hand way too fast there.

Sn0tnose · 03/05/2020 19:29

Too far OP, too far.

EdInjury · 03/05/2020 19:29

It's Blackadder.
Shouting "Baldric!"

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/05/2020 19:29

I hope to goodness this is a wind up.

BrooHaHa · 03/05/2020 19:30

You know the sort? Well, that took a turn for the racist. Have you considered, OP, that they might be shouting a word in another language that happens to sound like the word 'ballsack'?

FlamingoAndJohn · 03/05/2020 19:32

‘Hello is that the police? Well a foreign person is shouting vulgar words and my children who have been to a good school night hear it. I voted leave and want them removed’.

IsabelleSE19 · 03/05/2020 19:32

Maybe it's like the button in Lost. He has to shout Ballsack every 30 mins or something awful will happen*

Oldestchild90s · 03/05/2020 19:35

Sorry, just here to tell you it's the best topic subject i've seen in a while 😂😂😂

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 19:35

Independent school?

I stand in awe.

And so will your neighbour when your kids shout back scrotum or testes with perfect diction.

Timekeeper1 · 03/05/2020 19:35

Maybe that could be shouted out in Thursday nights. Ballsaaaackk!!!!

isadoradancing123 · 03/05/2020 19:35

So what if they are shouting it, am surprised that and 3 even worse, they are renting you are bothered if 1. They are eastern european, and 2 you cannot guarantee that they have been to a fee paying school
