My property shares a communal landing space with 4 other properties. My neighbour directly opposite seem to have adopted this communal landing for his kids to run around and scream on. His front door is wide open and the screesching of the littles darlings echo's round the landing and my property.

I've already had words with him for his mates smoking canabis on the landing stinking out my home and he was pretty cool about it.

The noise is starting to get on my tits now but I din't want to be a moaning grumpy old man

MadMac

Fucking to right you should moan about it, especially if your having a sunday morning lie in, its not very considerate of him.

furqall

stab him?

If its occasionally and at reasonable hours, then you are being a bit of a grumpy old man, if its all the time then I think you have every right to feel that is unacceptable.

Rick Astley

Tell him a peadophile lives next door so he should keep an eye on the kids and ensure they never play in the hall.

Chip mate, it's every Saturday and Sunday without fail from about 7:30am through to sometimes 10:30 at night. Also happens some weeknights as well . TBH If it was one weekend a month I wouldn't be worried but I lie in bed at the weekends waiting foe the childs screech!

Sounds totally out of order to me then mate.

Try having a quiet word and see if you can at least get him to keep it to be in the afternoon only or similar without falling out with him.

mrjenrst

Bollocks! Tell him to sort his shit out or you'll do it for him i fucking hate people taking the piss like that. I used to have a nightmare with our neighbours untill they moved

Would love to see how you intend to follow through on that threat, set fire to his kids maybe? Or are you just shouting your mouth off?

Bear in mind this guy is his neighbour, who he has to live around, and park his car near etc, not to mention the fact the bloke was reasonable last time, so why kick off without needing to?

Go round there with a shotgun and do the lot of them!

TurboShed

No way would I put up with that. If one of my neigbours did it they would find their kids have learned a whole bunch of new swearwords damn quick.

Guns are for show, knives are for a pro!

Rich_bloor

start a hobby that gets you out of the house at the weekends

no, that would 'boil my piss' m8, go round and have a word, but watch out, hes having a lie in at the weekend whilst the kids are out

Oranoco

Thing that gets me is if their kids fall over whilst playing ton the stairs you can bet your bottom dollar they will be on to the council like a shot to complain and claim compo.

Think I'll grab a quiet word later and see what happens from there.

Makes sense to start with a quiet word and see if you can manage to stay on decent terms, he might not have stopped to think about how annoying it is for everyone else and may be embarassed when you point it out.
If you go in all guns blazing he is probably going to react agressively in return, either to your face or against your property.

No point falling out with people you have to live with if you dont need to fall out with them.

Less.

Yes a quiet word is best and Chip is talking sense again

fuzzy

stab them all in the face.

mrjenrst

Your assuming that this bloke is ok, fair play he was about the smoking but, i'm a big believer in that you shouldnt effect anybody else's space like that

Benni

You are assuming he isn't.

Benni.

fuzzy

hes a pot smoking junky.he'll have his eyes on your possesions to pay for his next fix. do him before he does you.

mrjenrst

I assume all people are cunts then i'm only wrong about 15% of the time.

Oranoco

No intention of falling out with the guy if it can be avoided. As Chip said I have to live here and park my car here. I can't be bothered starting WW3 with somebody because they are being a bit inconsiderate.

I just wanted to make sure it wasn't me just being a grump old sod as I know my fuse is a lot shorter these days. A quiet word will be the order of the day

tabetha

If he's into pot, invite some coppers round on another pretext and see him disappear quick, will make him think about things.
