I'd offer her round for a cup of tea. A couple of hobnobs and talk about what us upsetting you.

Come to a compromise.

Offer to pimp her out?

Buy like 300-500kg of industrial fertiliser and put it in her back garden when she’s out then call the old bill, simple stuff really

You just like spying on them don't you mate.
Not for you that sex with females malarkey is it.

He just likes looking through peoples letterboxes.

Nothing to do with me

I cant stand thoughtless inconsiderate neighbours, theres seems so little you can do apart from suck it up and hope they move quickly. Has such a detrimental effect on mental well being and everyday life.

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.

Is that the same as 'tolerant'? Asking for the forum.

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?

Here's a 'Norman Tebbit' inspired solution. How about getting on your bike and looking for a better job? Thus being able to buy a detached house in a rural area. Hope this helps.

I can't describe the hatred for the bint that lived in the house behind mine. Was a great day when I saw a for sale sign out the front of there.

We lived in a block of 4
Terrible to no sound insulation.
One poor woman asked me for a tenner for food ,while her hubby went the pub.
Another couple which quickly became a single mum,wouldn't clean communal areas and leave washing out for days, the old boy in the block loved her knickers tho.
Another couple fighting, you could hear the kicks,she apologised the following day...
Didn't bother me,but my Mrs couldn't hack it..we moved

I had the same with my immediate next door neighbours mate.

They weren`t bad neighbours per se, just a pair of total cranks, who would only be totally happy, if they lived on an island with no one else there.

They just moaned non stop about everything in the neighbourhood.

We opened a bottle of Champers the day they left.

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

The thing with domestic violence, is that it cuts through every sector of society.

It`s compounded by poverty, but a rich well to do fella, is just as likely to be an abuser, as fella who`s on his arse and skint.

I have 1 mate in particular who does it too. Actually drives me up the wall.

Thanks, I shall do it more going forward.

See, I know you're being tongue in cheek here, but i genuinely don't like that sort of recourse.

It's a mixed housing area. Houses built for private sale in the 1930s (poss before), ex council stock sold off under right to buy, and the remainder still used as social housing but now managed by housing association.

I really do believe segregating the haves and have nots doesn't help society at all. There's older folk, people with disabilities, or folks with kids with SEN/complex needs in the street living in other social housing. What do they do?

My original post was made in a bit of frustration, I'll admit. It's difficult because I don't like it going on, but I know it is frightening other residents (especially those in social housing) at times, to the point one older lady has asked if it is okay to call me if she feels frightened by goings on at night. That's fine, happy for her to. But should she feel like that?

Difficult one, whilst the resident in question is possibly classed as vulnerable too, should folk be excused when activities and actions linked to them are causing problems for others?

She has been approached directly by several folk at different points over the last 4yrs, but the issues re-occur.

Moral maze alright.

This one was mid 50's and did nothing but sit on the back deck talking on the phone in her horrible loud voice, there'd be 70 metres between our houses if you combined our backyards but she sounded like she was 3 feet away at all times. It don't sound like much compared to some of the horror neighbours in this thread but it ate away at me over the years, I remember telling one of my mates about it and he's going 'you're just a grumpy c...' (which is true) till he was around one day and heard her himself.
