Brandt Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 My upstairs neighbours are ok apart from they are the type that go to bed at around 9pm. Being a decent sort it makes me a bit nervous about making noise at night which is a pain as I like my music on if I'm sitting reading. But ok I suppose. Then last week I got a text message from him at 11pm asking me to turn my telly down. A bit rude I thought. How did you end up exchanging numbers?

Tazio Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 How did you end up exchanging numbers? He was having trouble with his plumbing (ooh er) and we swapped numbers in case I got any water through the ceiling. Just to add to things it's colony style cottages so the stair up to his front door is over a cupboard in my house. It's my day off today and he's getting his bloody staircase replaced. It's like being inside a drum right now as they remove the old one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Irufushi Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Not heard from them in a while, then Friday night into Sat morning it was shouting and screaming in the street. This morning is was chaos as their toilet has flooded again, flushing nappies down the loo does that though. Then I get this. He sent the youngest along with this note.

Carl Weathers Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I'm thinking about putting some sound proofing up in the spare bedroom as the boy next door is still snoring.

Carl Weathers Posted July 26, 2016 Share Posted July 26, 2016 One of my neighbours regularly has the washing machine on after 10pm - quite reguarly after 12am infact. It's loud as feck in my flat - louder than my own and it's completely doing my tits in. Unfortunately I cant be sure exactly where it is coming from. The house diagonally opposite in the floor above was recently bought and I've only noticed it as a problem in the last couple of months so suspect it might be them. How can I tackle this? I dont know either of the neighbours in the above flats and dont fancy knocking on doors. Would a polite letter stuck on the noticeboard be reasonable or a bit gimpy?

Definitely speak to them face to face, from experience hashing things out with your neighbour face to face gets far more achieved than a note stuck to a door, Its all in the tone, a note only has one tone, a greeting faced one at that, introduce yourself to your neighbour and let them know your problems.

Just the other night the oldest laddie came round, think he's 13-14, and says to the wife "my mums asking if she could borrow a tenner?" My wife says no. "What about a fiver then?" Again, no.

Pennywise Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 They moved out. Through to Livingston. The oldest laddie got leathered off a group of guys, filmed it & put in on FB, so they up & left. Seen workmen in the other day so stuck my head in. House was a mess. Holes in the walls. Glad to be shot of them.

Pennywise Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 The lassie next door to me and another lass from further down the street were screaming at each other Saturday afternoon. All the kids were out playing but next doors laddie shit himself. So down the street lass brought him up so his mum could clean him up. Turns out she had pissed off out for something to eat with her new felly. Just left the kids playing in other peoples garden, never said anything to anyone. Vile human being.

Id get a text asking for ?4 until Tuesday or enough for a J until I see xxxxx and I will defo pay you back (about 6 months later). It was funny in a tongue in cheek sort of way. One afternoon after I got back from work, I got a knock at the door and there she was with a fiver that I forgot I loaned her. In fact it was about 5 or 6 months earlier that she "borrowed" the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@VladMagic Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 Not wanting to hijack thread but on a similar tone. I regularly get offenders knocking my door selling household cleaning stuff. Clothes, towels etc. This always puts me in a bit of a predicament as I don't need anything from them but I don't want to upset them?Would rather have them on side as opposed to against me? So basically I get my wallet out and give em a fiver or a tenner and wish them the best of luck on the right side of the law. Its pretty obvious that the word has been passed that the guy at (my house number) is generous and a knock on his door will produce a note of some sort! Its not like I cant afford it but I also don't like handing money over for the sake of it? Bit of a predicament!! Advise please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
