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?

Oh this is brilliant!

In Scotland we had Hurricane Bawbag, you’d hate it here

A parrot shouting "ballsack" 😂😂😂 This post has to be a wind up! Hilarious!

HebeMumsnet · 03/05/2020 19:37

The OP has clearly never heard of the 1980s game 'Bollocks', which involved shouting 'BOLLOCKS' louder than your opponent, starting with a whisper and ending in being grounded.

What can I say? The lonely weekends in 1980s Home Counties just flew by...

HebeMumsnet · 03/05/2020 19:38

... and speaking of bollocks, we'll be taking this thread down now.

DefinatelyAWeeGobshite · 03/05/2020 19:38

NOOOO HEBE!!!

Runforthehills754 · 03/05/2020 19:38

This definitely has classics potential. Howling!

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 19:39

Would ot make it ok if the neighbour shouted ‘Hebe’?

Warsawa31 · 03/05/2020 19:39

HebeMumsnet · 03/05/2020 19:39

Oh alright, we'll leave it up for a bit.

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 19:39

AdaStarkadder · 03/05/2020 19:39

Pleased to hear it Awright. You wouldn't be the first though.

JKScot4 · 03/05/2020 19:41

Your DH should go and press the buzzer son the building and enquire for the residents well being obviously citing your concern at the shrieks of ballsack.

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 19:42

They are cousins of the loose antipodeans iklboo Grin

emmathedilemma · 03/05/2020 19:43

I have a neighbour who's prone to similar outbursts, thankfully only quite rarely, but he's known to drink and take drugs and apparently the police are regularly at his front door. I can only hear him, I can't see what goes on at the front!

AwrightDoreenTakeAFuckinDayOff · 03/05/2020 19:43

Wanton Welsh?
Slack Scots?

Monstermissy36 · 03/05/2020 19:44

JesusInTheCabbageVan · 03/05/2020 19:48

Oh can't believe I forgot the 'bollocks' game!! Of course.I

When I was in primary school, my friend used to say 'Sh-' as loudly as she could and then I'd shout '...IT!'. We thought we'd beaten the system.
