I hate wii fit !!!

My neighbours have bought a wii fit... and he (husband) uses at 6 am after his shift.... she uses it at 8pm after he leaves the house so he can't see her woberley bits.....

Just the 'right' times to wake 'my' kids and stop them going to sleep. I caught her the other day and asked if it was possiable they could do the wii fit slight later or move it to their bedroom... IE not above my kids bedroom........ oh no she said otherwise it might wake up my child...

This is the woman who told me she had reported me to the council when my son was young as his crying was really 'annoying' you can guess what they told her..

and her bloody cats sh*t in my garden and she refuses to pick it up as she dosnt have to...

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr Oooooo I feel much better

    Welcome to the forums living-under-elephants, it's antisocial behaviour, keep a diary and note about how it makes you feel, what sort of problems it causes.

    Are they tenants or do they own the property? If tenant you can pass the diary on which can be used to take steps to sort out this sort of dispute, but be wary. Sometimes however it's easier to let live than make a big issue over it, however I've had similar issues with neighbours and it's not the fact that the noise is that much of an issue, it just starts pushing you closer to the edge all the time.

    How long have they had it for? If it's not very long, then it won't be very long before they get bored.

    Or they actually lose weight using it then maybe they won't be so heavy and subsequently loud!

  • Likelihood is that this is just a phase that they are going through. If they are anything like us, they will use the wii fit for a month and then forget about it.

    If it is still annoying you in a couple of week, wait until you see her again, then look her up and down and say that you'd have thought that all of her use of the wii fit would have begun to show by now. Tell her you recommend that she takes it back.

    Obviously only say that to her if you want to make matters worse...

    The Wii Fit will lose its appeal soon I'm sure.

    On a side point, I once viewed a flat when the person upstairs was on their treadmill having a good old run.

    *thud**thump**thud* etc - light fitting swinging from side to side.

    This flat was about a 10 minute walk to the largest park in London and almost next door to another park which runs along the river.

    Why you'd want to run stating at a wall inside on a nice sunny day I don't know.

    Step 1. Buy dog poo bags.
    Step 2. Pick up cat mess
    Step 3. Go to neighbours flat
    Step 4. Empty bag contents on door handle
    Goto Step 2

    It's a very enjoyable feeling :D
  • do what i do either flick the cat poo into there garden off a trowel it goes really far and slides down kitchen window after a few rain showers. Or i package it up and take it round there

    the cat also takes some flack and its seems to have got the message now its had hose pipes, shoes, borrowed rottweiler, it used to sit on my fence and catch the birds coming out of my bird box nails in top of fence sorted that obviously with the heads on has i didnt want to impale it. to detar it from sitting on the bonnet of my car a sheet of plastic with double side sticky tape sticky side up. really hairy in the morning.

    as for the wii fit she may get quiet as she gets slimmer

    I can't see what you can do on a wii fit that is particularly noisy. Its most active areas are stepping off and on the balance board or running on the spot.

    If you're flat footed then I'd imagine the dance steps one'd be quite noisy.

    Psst. I have perfect score on advanced for that. My dance teacher for GCSE choreography would've been so proud LOL.

    They'll soon get fed up with it. Mine tells me off and that just does it for me LOL especially when asking why you've not lost weight. There is no option to select "cos I'm a lazy get and stuff my face".

    Buy them Tetris - nice quiet game they'll sit down for :)

    it means that I agree with that post and have nothing further to add.
