Lazy, lowlife excuses for neighbours - advice needed

**onearmedbandit** · 11th January 2005, 20:43

I suppose it my irratated state I wasn't really clear enough, but as I'm not sure who really is doing it (as a few have posted) I wanted to find out a way to discover who is doing it, save sitting outside in my car waiting for whoever the fucker is. And whoever is doing it most know someone has moved in, because now there is a motorcycle with a one-armed rider going up this very quiet, very short, very narrow street and a Merc (only a '94 C220, I'm not that flush that "i've got a shiney new Merc') in the driveway.

So anyway, i'll ask these guys tomorrow if they know who's doing it, if they can keep an eye out for me. See where that gets me.

BTW, the area we're in is a good location, St Albans for those that know it. Just a couple of units nearby with younger crew living in them, maybe early 20's. (Fark me, only a few years ago I was there, now nearly 30!) BTW, I don't think Aaron was being entirely serious in his post. Anyway, with his nightly bible readings to the underpriveleged, his serving dinner at the homeless shelter on Saturday, and of course his sermons on Sunday I don't know where he would fit it in.

Try a little sublimative messaging.

The idea of warming up a bike at 3am sounds great, but what about the other neibours?
Throwing the rubbish all over their house is a nice one to get back, but doesnt solve anything as it just puts you in their shoes.
Shooting them, well I bet thats fun, but the consequinse(Sp) of a 7 yr jail term doesnt apeal to me.

The idea to ask them whos doing it ect and seeing what they are saying. It may just be them being tossers but getting the council involved could change their minds.

But how about telling those wankers, thanks for the bag of cans because everytime you take them for recycling you get $30 cash. See what they say then.

Or buy a police dog and let him loose

It has always been my experience living in a rural region most of my life, that it pays to make the effort to be on the best possible terms with your neighbours, you never know when you need to ask them for a favour. So here's my suggestion, which I realise will not appeal to the testosterone laden types at all.
Either bake a cake and go introduce yourself, offer them the hand of friendship etc and tell them you have just moved into the neighbourhood and stuff, and see what happens, it's entirely possible he doesn't realise you are new to the area, and he had a snitch against the former occupant of your house etc.
Alternatively have a bbq and invite all the neighbours, if you piss any of them off you might end up regretting moving there.
After you get to know them, if theres any more trouble, have a major kiwibiker bbq, and invite them over, then mention the problems when they show up!!

Sounds like some young hoons finding a quiet place to have a few drinks, conciencious of them to put the cans in a bag and do it up though.

Now some poor, pathetic excuse for a human, who obviosly possesses no basic morals, has decided to dump their beer cans, albeit tied up in a plastic bags, right outside the entrance to our driveway. Not actually on the property, but in a position that they become our responsibilty.

Now I'm not cleaning some fucken lazy slobs shit up, we are all capable of cleaning up our own mess. And to go to the effort to crush the cans, tie them up, but not dispose of them properly themselves, well it just doesn't make sense to me. I have one place I suspect and I was going to go over and have a quiet talk, but the g/f pointed out that without evidence I can't prove a thing. (Damn logical women, just wanted to vent some steam)

So I come home from work today, a busy day as our manager just quit and I'm now trying to take up the slack, and carry on selling cars to make a living. And what do I find, two more fucken bags!! So I head across the road to 'chat' about the situation, but realise the futility of that. So come on peeps, what can I do? It seems to either happen late at night, or during the day when I'm at work. I've thought about picking them up and putting them outside their house, I've also thought about depositing them one by one around their house. Anyone had experiences like this before, if so what did you do. I hate untidy people, and feel like planting my Sidi Race sized 9 through someones teeth, and although I'm shorter than most, I'm flexible and have a strong front kick.

This is shocking, I'm speachless, no wonder you need help, some professional help I'd say - I mean you actually sell cars - and admit it. Shame on you !

Seriously though, I had exactly the same problem with a neighbour once and found that a simply, friendly, non confrontational chat did the job. Some people just don't know that they're arseholes ya see. Although it would of course help if you knew who the idiots were.

In my experience the fact that you haven't "gently" hassled anybody yet needs to get resolved. They'll be taking you for a bit of a softcock man and they'll keep doing it because up to this point in time there are no consequences.

A gentle rap on the door first can't hurt. Just make sure you play it cool, i find holding eye contact while you're "discussing" these sorts of things to be an advantage. People find it harder to BS you that way. Add into the conversation that you're a peace loving decent guy but if you find out who it is, you'll [insert very very subtle threat here].

So that's step 1. Talk to the surrounding neighbours and try to get a bead on who's doing it. You'll find it may end right there.

If not, you'll have to do some basic detective work. It's easy to throw that stuff into recycling so whoever is doing it, it's either a joke (normally indicates younger type guys - no apologies), or somebody with a grudge against the ex owner, or not even anybody on your street.

In the end, sorry to say what i'd do is place the bags in the middle of the street. Yeah it's littering, but if you make it a "street wide" problem instead of yours, you might get some help trying to resolve it. Nobody wants that stuff just sitting round aye.

In the end, having KB'er on real bikes with real pipes (read: TWINS / YOSHI's

) turn up at random times may also help with your don't fuck with me image... and i'm keen! Lemme know.

IMHO calling councils etc will get you nowhere fast.

**Riff Raff** · 12th January 2005, 07:44

How come this hasn't turned into a beer thread yet? Have big street party - lots of beer, everyone happy!

Ah, but who disposes of the cans?? Ok back to you lot...
