There was a good tip on the teabag thread about using teabags to blacken your face for the SAS Windchimes op.

We need to synchronise our watches

I have big loud windchimes, and barking dogs and a mournful donkey. But I live far out in the country with no neighbors close enough to be bothered. I don't think I could dare to this level of obnoxiousness if there were actually someone around to be bothered by it

In your situation, I'd cut the chimes down I did once pound for ten minutes on a shared wall in protest of the thumping bass...when the man next door knocked on my door and said angerly "Hey, were you pounding on my wall?!" I said "Yes I was, and I wouldn't have had to do it for ten minutes if the bass wasn't turned up so freaking high!"

expatinscotland · 06/07/2008 00:54

get rid of the windchime.

Well done! Glad you didn't fall off the chair lol lol

Katisha · 06/07/2008 12:11

CVQ on behalf of all windchime haters everywhere, I salute you.

VictorianSqualor · 06/07/2008 12:20

If I had a windchime in my garden and my neighbour thought it best to try and break it rather than just nicely ask me to remove it I'd put hundreds up.
Just be aware, they may do too.

Katisha · 06/07/2008 12:23

It was driving her mad in the middle of the night. She could hardly go round the neighbours! It is merely lying on the ground. If it goes back up she WILL say something.

lucyellensmum · 06/07/2008 12:53

oh dear, VS could be right, just imagine, hundreds of the bloody things. arrrrghhhhhhhhhh

SheikYerbouti · 06/07/2008 13:11

YANBU

I hate fucking windchimes.

Our neighbour has one. That coupled with her screeching "CIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNDDDDDDDDDDDDYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" at the top of her voiceat all hours of the day and bastard night, and I'm close to fucking breaking point, I tells ya

bluefox · 06/07/2008 13:27

YANBU. Windchimes should be made illegal. We once decided against putting in an offer for a perfectly good house because there was windchimes in the garden of the house next door.
