MichaelG Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Time for me to let off some steam, and get some opinions, there are two houses over the back of ours, and nothing out front for about 30 yards in the cul-de-sac, but BOTH houses behind for some fu*ked up reason like to invite kids from all over the bloody area to come and play in their garden. You cant go into the garden / conservatory for the noise of screaming and i mean SCREAMING brats, footballs coming over the fence and damaging plants / marking windows etc. They now have a trampoline which allows them to think they are smart by jumping up and down and looking into the garden over the fence, and taunting the puppy we have. One little shi7 of a kid, must be about 6-7 years old, climbed up his garden fence and started throwing stones at the dog, he obviously went nuts, barking and howling, and next thing you hear the kids mum shout "what you doing??" Then ......... "Oh it wasnt me mummy the dog is scaring me and barking!" Little fu#*ker !!!! Next thing we know, the dad (a complete and utter @rsehole) comes to the door, f'ing nd c'ing about wanting his kids ball back, telling me our dog is a nuisance and never stops barking etc, my old lady in the process is shi77ing herself as shes in the house alone, dads golfing and i am out somewhere.........i came home and had to be HEAVILY persuaded not to go round and knock fu*k out of his head. Kid was up on the fence again the other day, my mum told him to get down and stop tormenting our dog, and all she got was "fu*k off you cow, i will do what i want you cu*t !" This from 7 year old !!!! Been going on like this for a few months now, and the dad of the kid........is about 30 odd, drives a 318 beemer coupe, blue, done up with fake Hartge alloys, M3 Mirrors,and likes to floor the throttle from one speed bump to another on the way out of the estate.(You can imagine what cock he looks like doing this at any age, never mind 30+ not to mention one day hes gonna skittle some poor kid) The kid was caught yesterday IN THE GARDEN right up at our front window giving the dog the fingers and shouting at him from outside......dog meanwhile going mental as expected. If i had my way i would let the dog out the front door and let him tear the little fuc*ers face to bits, but then who gets the blame ? The dog ! Somethings gonna give VERY soon and i think its gonna be my foot up the dads throat, am just waiting for him to come back to the door again, mouthing off like hes something else. What can you do though ? We cant get peace on a weekend, cos it actually gives you a sore head sitting in the back garden cos of the noise, and out the front theres out cul-de-sac, with the little sods flying past on their bikes, kicking balls off the fence, or shreaking out of them like idiots. Parents dont give a monkeys as they seem to be able to "close their ears" and enjoy their weekends, my folks have just spent a small fortune on the house and garden etc and certainly arent even going to consider moving. Nor should they. A few of the other neighbours in our cul-de-sac have expressed concern at the noise level and football antics too, but it never changes anything no matter how level headed you try to be with the kids or their parents. I know kids have to be kids, but this is ridiculous. Isnt there some new Anti-Social behaviour order now or something ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Getrag Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 First of all, sorry to hear about your plight, bad neighbours are the worst. Secondly, dont do anything silly, keep with the law, do all the right things. That way, you CAN go to the police or whatever and not have compromised yourself. Document everything, times, noise, balls, get lots and lots of good evidence. Then contact the local police and ask for their advice. They will probably give you the number for whoever deals with that sort of thing or even come round themselves for a little look. Are these people beyond approaching? Would they respond to you and someone else going round there for a little chat? Im guessing not. Anyway, good luck, it'll be fixed soon im sure.

MichaelG Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Complete and utter HOOPLORD this guy mate, hes not interested, just tells u "oh fu*k off hes a young lad.......he needs to play" Yeah but why right in front of our house ????? Dont get me wrong, we have a huge back garden, and the housing estate is set out to allow kids to play at the parks built at either end, but a huge garden is no use when the little shi7s kick every toy known to man into it and crush my mums plants. And the folk on the other side with the 10000000000 kids and trampoline arent interested as long as the kids arent inside. Rant over lol. Think i will go polish the car PS.....Lovin this smilie ---------------> lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scoboblio Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I think this is exactly what the ASBOs are designed for... whether or not they work is another matter. It's terrible to hear things like this, I've never had any trouble with neighbours, but something like you're going through would screw me over big time... everyone on this BBS who works nights will know what I mean, imagine that sort of noise in the middle of the night and you get some idea. Does anyone in the immediate vicinity work shifts? That might motivate the authorities to do something about it, if a local nurse / doctor was being kept awake all day by the screaming s**ts.

tbourner Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 My neighbours kids are really loud all summer as well, they all seem to have little push along cars with plastic wheels, that they ride on the concrete paving and the drone from the wheels is awful. Luckily the parents are quite friendly, but they don't stop them for long. They're back soon enough and my mum goes mad after a few weeks!! She confiscated balls and everything last year we've still got a big bag of balls in the shed!!! Maybe you should scare the kids somehow, and deny it when they tell their parents.

Kopite Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 we've had shit loads of trouble off our neighnbour in liverpool. he's a total fucker causing trouble for no reason, ended up in court with us winning but he's still trying loads of appeals - long story!! i agree with that Getrag said, document everything and possibly take a discrete video of them tormenting your dog so in the unlikely event that your dog chases one of them or bites, you have some sort of back up that he was provoked. personally i'd report the behaviour to the police / council. Kids will be kids but i really hate kids these days and i'm only 23!! when i was a kid, we'd never do anything like that and we were far from angels! if we pissed off a grown up we'd stop whatever it was we were doin and go somewhere else! where as today, parents seem to want to back up their little shits and seem to think they should be allowed to do what they want! the kids where i live in the North East like sitting off on the wall in front of my house, right next to the supra. i have no problem with this at all because they're not noisy (i can hear them but they are only talking normally) and they have a healthy respect for the car. those kids are ok (well theyre like 15) and don't cause any problems. few streets up though the kids are all tossers and think they can run out in front of cars and the cars will happily stop in time for them. one of these days..........

JustGav Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 That is unacceptable... My kids love playing outside, but then maybe I'm a bit stricter than most... Last time I caught them misbehaving and putting sand on the neighbours car, I gave them a right bollocking out in public and embarrased the hell out of them... Made them go knock on the neighbours door and apologise for what they had done... they then came back home to get a bucket and some of my autoglym stuff so that they could wash and polish her car as a form of apology.... I guess I'm just bringing up the kids the same was I was by my parents, with respect for others and their property... That said I see plenty of kids I'd happily slap the way they swear and carry on these days... Hell, my 4yr old has got manners, says please and thank you to everything, even had other parents commenting on that, saying how well mannered he was, in my mind he was just being a good decent kid...

Matt Harwood Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 We have exactly the same where we live. We live on a new development with several gardens backing onto each other and most of them have trampolines. I don't sit in the garden in the summer because of the noise/kids peering into the garden and constant soaking we seem to get when they have water fights. I am very aware of the noise our own make in our garden and constantly pull them back indoors if they get loud. How can I have children and yet other kids grate on my nerves so much? The only two things that we have done to make our lives easier is firstly hold a Supra party in the back garden-they all seemed to go out for the day then The second is-we're moving next month to a tiny house with a huge garden!

Supragal Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Mate, priority for me would be the dog. This is the LAST thing he needs at this young age, you don't need a non-child friendly fully grown doberman just because some evil children are tossers now. I know it's not ideal but try not to let him in the garden unsupervised. Also, any toys/balls etc that come over, keep them. Deny all knowledge. And yeah if you can get photos/film of any of the tormenting then great. I don't think general kid noise is something you can do much about, however your mum feeling threatened in her own home you could... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesC Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Put up a bigger fence with no gaps (maby with electric facilities ) to stop them looking over. Obviously you'll still be able to hear them, but they wont be tormenting the dog and looking at you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustGav Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 two words.... ignition coil... Well.. maybe a few more... get a bit of piano wire, run it around the top of your fence and link it into a pulsating ignition coil.... and I'd dare them to put their hands on the fence again....

magicmatty Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 4rseh0les, Tw4ts, Makes living round here quite pleasant sounding now, and we have had trouble with our neighbours kids. How do the the kids stand a chance though, when the parents are complete to55ers??? I sincerelly pity you and wish you the best of luck with the whole thing. We just partied hard and VERY LOUD, VERY LATE, EVERY NIGHT until ours complained (a lot) then we bargained for some sense.... Good Luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CardiffSupra Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Sorry to hear about this arse hole, some people are just utter C*unts! I suggest wrapping dog shit in news paper, lighting the paper on fire and posting it through the letter box, Guy comes along to stamp it out and bingo!... wont solve anything but might make you feel a little better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ian R Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 I would put trelace work up the fence making it higher with a good coating of empty climb paint on it (would make a right mess of there clothes). It may also be worth setting up a camcorder to catch them in the act. As long as the video is set up recording your property you are not breaking the law this could be used as evidence in an anti-social behaviour case. Or if not start throwing boulders (I mean stones) back at the kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barry Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Or if not start throwing boulders (I mean stones) back at the kids Could always be out watering the 'garden', then when they peer over the fence, soak the feckers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amazing grace Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 If people cant be bothered to raise their kids to have some respect and consideration for otheres then they shold not have them!!!!!!!!!!! This makes me so mad i could spit!!!! I have 2 one a teenager and you all know how mouthy they can be if he so much as steps out of line by being even a touch too cocky to people he has me to deal with Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! Both my kids have always been bought up to believe manners maketh man, it cost nothing to be polite and people are far more pleased to help if you can be pleasant. Kids are for life not just Christmas. LOLOL. Stone throwing at an animal is just plain unkind i would want to whoop the little barstewards behind!!!! Sorry but i too thik people show how little they care about their children by their lack of proper parenting. Rant over Regards, Sheena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobSheffield Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 has me to deal with Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!! fairly scared! does he also get no cake? that would put me off more hun! Michael - i feel bad for you, we have a very similar situation here, coupled with what is in my young mind (i feel about 50 saying this) going to be a very serious problem. we have many young kiddies and my dad just tells em they cant have there ball back (i can mail my dad to you if you like!) but we also have a 16 yr old living nearby who invites his chavscum mates around - im gonna be worried when my car is on the front. on a lighter note, may i suggest a Supra revving its engine at 8am the day after Giro day?!! bound to upset em a little, as they will be hung over from there binge of special brew!!

Supragal Posted May 10, 2005 Share Posted May 10, 2005 Also, if you have nice neighbours as well speak to them see what they think and if they have had any problem. The more of you citing a case will hold greater weight if you go the official route Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelG Posted May 10, 2005 Author Share Posted May 10, 2005 Heh heh heh thanks guys, this thread has had me in knots ! First point of action is going to be the very good recommendation of the "anti climb paint" Gonna smear it all round the top of the border fence and see how that goes......its legal, and it will be a lot of fun !! Not much noise tonight thank gawd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
