Problem neighbours

[chrismpw]

There's one absolute arse pain in my street. Quite a troubled soul in social housing, single mom, but by christ they test sympathy. Fortunately not right next door.

A revolving door of dodgy boyfriends who either end up kicking off, or seem to attract people who kick off at them. Blatantly calling down dealers and buying in the street. Some of the older residents, who live closer, are starting to feel a bit threatened/upset by it all, in particular.

Feels mean spirited to complain to the council, but it really does destroy the peace when someone is kicking off at half 4 on a Sunday morning and the cops rock up. Again.

Anyone had to deal with similar?

People doing illegal stuff and ruining the peace of a neighbourhood? Dob em in. You'd do it if it were a tory MP embezzling I trust? It's for the greater good.

Worst I've had is an absolute flute who decided that ever time the sun shone, he'd open all windows for us to enjoy his one not repetitive bass music full blast, no matter how many neighbours complained. These were the days before noise was considered a nuisance and councils had db meters. Im pretty muld mannered but God only knows how I'm not serving life. He doesn't know how close he came.

Do you have any more of these please?

Matty, this is starting to annoy me now.

Why are you putting one word by itself and then continuing the sentence on a new line??

You’re pushing my OCD to new levels

Matty is definitely that lad who sends a few WhatsApp messages one after another when one message with a couple of lines would suffice

I'm forever grateful I now live on an "over 50's" estate, the only disturbance we have is from the local wild life having noisy sex as its on the edge of a canal/nature reserve (well we think it's sex, none of us can remember)

That C in canal is so crucial in your post

I do this. Winds one of my mates up so much.

Don't be a grass.

How would you deal with it?

Just purely out of curiosity.

I rather have the feeling young Steven, totally new to the forum, might be the problem neighbour in his street.

If people want to drink and take drugs by all means go forth with gusto but do it peacefully and quietly in the house without wrecking everyone's head.

We had one years ago when we lived in a flat where we were very certain there was domestic abuse, I think we called the police once and of course it was denied etc and they moved out a few weeks later. it was grim

Exactly that - I don't care what folk do by and large, but I don't appreciate it when hassle and disruption follows.
