16 minutes....

[Justaboutawake]

I came to bed a short while ago and, after getting settled with DDog and MN, one of my twatty neighbours started their car and have left the engine running for 16 minutes so far..... this usually happens at 5am with another neighbour (could be the same one, I haven’t looked) and it’s enough to piss me right off when I’m trying to fit in those last few 30mins of sleep before the alarm goes off in the morning.

Not so pissed at the moment but what the fuck are they doing out there? Either fucking drive somewhere or piss off inside. So tempted to see who it is and what they’re doing but I’m comfortable and can’t be bothered.

So what’s a girl to do? See who it is and, if they’re not doing something remotely interesting, wrestle the keys from the ignition and feed them to the nearby drain or lay here and try to ignore it. Decisions decisions

Fuck sake that took so long to write we’re now at 21 minutes

Could possibly be THE most annoying noise in the whole world.
However, that sweet moment when they turn the engine off or drive away and there is nothing but silence... bliss.

Ah yes that joyful moment when it drives away...

Unfortunately this dickhead has now put music on so I have some base alongside a rattling engine

Having a spliff?

Nope.

I cracked and had a look out of the window. He’s literally just sitting there on his phone. Outside his house. Being a prick
We’ve now hit the 40 minute mark

I may kill him

Just open the window and be like “ mate are you actually going out?”

@LouiseTrees very tempting! It’s finally stopped and he’s gone back inside. Will get him back for it somehow though.

Now I can get some sleep once next door has been out for her 11:15 pre-bed fag. I swear I’m not a stalker- their front door is broken and they have to slam it repeatedly to get it to shut. Took me ages to figure out why I was hearing the same noise at the same time every night!

I hate it when people leave their engine running - why would anyone do it ?!

I the only time this is acceptable is whilst defrosting your windscreen. We have a neighbour who likes fast cars and every time he leaves or arrives no matter what time that is he revs the fucker 8 or 9 times.

Stick your head out and roar 'do you need a push' as if the car was broke down. Might get the message across.

I have a complete wankstain of a neighbour with the loudest motorbike known to man who starts it up and then leaves it sitting there while he oh-so-slowly puts his helmet on, fastens his jacket, checks all his pockets for fuck knows what and puts on his gloves. The whole performance takes about 10 minutes, at 5.15am every fucking morning, it's a wonder I've not murdered him by now.

Having your engine idling for any length of time is actually illegal. If this is a regular occurrence I'd report him.

Do you live in the same street as me? We have one a few houses down who does this! Starts it up, revs it up, the dicks about putting on his PPE, the rides off like he's in the sodding Isle of Man TT.

It wouldn't be so bad if he was a nice bloke, but he's thick as shit. I've often hoped for an accident, you know not something terminal, but maybe a broken leg and a written off bike.

I missed out a few n's in that post.
