New Noisy Cint Neighbours From Hell

I guessed about the speedway from the pic, but never realised that you were an F1 fan too. Do you have a favourite team or driver? As you can probably tell from my username I'm a rabid Ferrari fan, though I do really like the idea of Ross Brawn doing well this year in his new team. I used to fancy the drivers when I was younger, but as the three that I had a crush on died (Petersen, Villeneuve and Senna) I've given up on that now for their sake. Senna died on my birthday so that's even more gutting.

Not really nowadays, although I do support the Brit drivers and have a soft spot for Rubens, he won me a fair bit of money a few seasons ago when I was using my free betting account won (account with £100 placed in it) after a freebie day out at Ascot (another win via Sky that was)

I remember the awful day Senna died, we knew straight away it was not good..not good memories at all.

Lakey - Erm.....no idea to be honest! It was just something they added to Joe's statement on his last review and when I asked what it was, they said it was for the transition from school into work/further education/independant living. I would assume Social Services would have a role combined with the education sector.

I tend to try to cross bridges as they come now rather than hang my hopes on promises for the future after being let down umpteem times since the boys were small.

Really take my hat off to you for bringing up three boys single handedly and two with differences, as I like to call it.
Felt I had it bad with just two and one with differences!!

Bloomin' chavs!!!

Constant stream of people in/out, doors slamming, running up/down the stairs. Shouting, hollering out of the windows. Chanting like a footy group. Loud music on.

Coming/going/shouting, non stop... been like that for 35 minutes. All day people have been coming/going, I thought it was usual moving in noises/showing your mates and would stop.... but now it seems like the local chav has his own gaff.... so it's PARTY TIME!!!!

I have no social skills..... just needs for them to really fr1ck me off and I'll go up there and give them the full benefit of my discontent.

Outnumbered about 10:1 though, so biting my lip... for now.

Maybe they'll all die of something and quieten down.

Only just seen this thread. There is a certain amount of it in the block of flats where I live but it's within acceptable boundaries.
However, that weasn't always the case.
A few years ago I had some vermin move into the flat above me. It was horrendous. They were there about a year. They used to move furniture and hoover up regularly at 3 am. I'm not talking about doing it quietly either. I found it traumatising. To be regularly woken up out of deep sleep by loud bangings becomes seriously uncomfortable. I would have complained to the council but I have bought my flat and thought I might be selling it on at some point. I didn't want a dispute on file as it could have become unsellable. Even the neighbours below me were complaining in spite of having my flat as a buffer zone. Situations like that need to be dealt with. It can turn normally docile people into killers - especially if you live alone because the problem amplifies when no-one else is around to discuss it with. I ended up standinbg on a chair banging boots against the ceiling and started vandalising my flat in frustration. I know that sounds crazy but that's how vermin like that can affect people when they've not slept properly in months. Rational thinking goes out of the window. No-one is going to do that to me again. I remember watching TV just after I got back from a short holiday. I had been beck for3 days and realised it was quiet upstairs. I asked a neighbour if they had gone on holiday and she told me they had moved. I just burst into tears at the relief of it - I'm a big hunky bloke. That's what they can do to peoploe. I say don't do what I did. Get it sorted.

Aww thanks.....it has actually become easier (apart from no breaks) since the hubby left.

Eldest son is an absolute godsend although I do worry about him having a caring role for so much of his childhood years.

Glad it to hear it was not just me being pushed to levels like that by noisy neighbours - I got through a 16 piece dinner set by throwing them all off the kitchen floor when music was being belted out from downstairs I would literally be able to hear nothing but their noise and get to the point where I had to have some sort of pressure release, for me it was the plates.

The worst group that lived downstairs were some junkies who were moved in by the Landlord - annoyingly that flat is the only one that is rented, all the others are owned by elderly people and me! Suits me though as I love my peace and quiet, but because they are so much older, I have laways felt really protective towards them. So, when catalogue deliveries and things started turning up in variations of these elderly people's names, but to the flat that the junkies lived in, it just didn't add up. Their phone bill came in with the name of someone else on it too, as did their electricity bill.......................turns out that they were using the name of a woman who'd died shortly before the moved in and were using her details to obtain credit :mad: They'd also lied about having a disabled child to look after, which is why they were given benefit to live in a £250K flat. At that time, I was commuting 6 hours a day to pay the mortgage and those teewats were rubbing my face in how they got a flat like mine for free?They were openly rubbing or faces in it too, "There's nothing you can do - Council pay us to be here" was one of their lines :mad: Nothing I can do? Really? Watch me.

Hadn't banked on my temper going and a log of all the dodgy catalogues and other deliveries being recorded, phone calls made to each of the companies in question telling them there was a fraud going on, phoning the DWP..................within a day of calling, the Police were at he door looking for them. Then the DWP came sniffing and they were gone Peace, quiet, bliss and able to live in my own home and go to my own car without fear of being cornered or attacked by some rabid junkie as I try to go about my day-to-day business. Last I heard the guy was in a prison. I would love to say I'm sympathetic, but I couldn't care less. He deserved everything he is due in life and more. Turns out he had false accounts with Vodafone of about £3K, BT to about £2K, catalogues to about £3K................................wouldn't have been any of my business, but his gloating, boasting, bragging and behaving like a cint made me angrier than I've ever been. And from their perspective, they had a great place to stay with neighbours who even tried to help them out when they moved in seeing that they were a young couple and all, and instead they started abusing us, peeing on the stair carpet (the same stair we'd all paid £500 per flat to have decorated about 2 months before they moved in), slashed my neighbours car tyres when he complained about the peeing.................................not on at all. Nothing worse than being scared and ashamed of where you live.

There are ways and means to deal with these people. Mine was to get rid of them and highlight to the people who would do something what they were capable of. If that meant them going to prison (and it was not the first time he'd been responsible for that sort of thing) then tough, he should have learnt his lesson the first time.

So, the replacements for the junkies are two pretty quiet people who got over their initial boisterousness about a month after the moved in. Now, if only they could get rid of that door slamming habit...........................and if ever they get me down, I just remember how bad it was when the butane gas sniffer and his hooker girlfriend were living below me.

good morning PN
only just read this thread, but have always admired the way you have of getting to the heart of the matter and your always-good advice.
How was last night????????????

If you want upstairs neighbours to hear you need a whistle - no point banging on ceilings that takes effort and can be dangerous.
