Vent - Boot Camp/fat club.

This is a strange vent. My house is directly on the pavement half way up a hill with no front yard. Every Tuesday some sort of boot camp goes on where between 30 - 40 overweight women run up and down the pavement going past my lounge window. This goes on for about an hour and is very distracting.

Is there anything I can do about this as its on a public highway so I assume I'm powerless.

I'm not joking but my window ledge actually vibrates occasionally when 5/6 are running past at the same time.

  • Consult a structural engineer? A few women running past shouldn't have that effect.

    I used to be fat and know how difficult exercise can be at that stage, let alone running in public. Good on them for getting out there and making the effort!

    If you leave it a few weeks then hopefully it will decrease as they lose weight :rotfl:

    Put some pies out on the other side of the road from your house. Will draw them away from your front.

    Or scatter loads of Maltesers so they roll down the hill.
    You know what uranium is, right? It's this thing called nuclear weapons. And other things. Like lots of things are done with uranium. Including some bad things.

    The numbers going past will drop each week until there's only a handful, particularly as the weather gets colder.
    Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it.

    Put some pictures of chocolate and doughnuts in your front windows so they slow their pace down as they pass.

    No, I am not perfect, but yes I do judge people on their use of basic English language. If you didn't know the above, then learn it! (If English is your second language, then you are forgiven!)

    Hope you all feel proud of yourselves for all the jokes! It's pathetic.

    OP - grow up.

    I don't know what i've done. Its genuinely very irritating.

    For one hour I have hoards of people running up and down about a foot away from my window, its noisy and very distracting. They don't run quietly either there is lots of motivational yelling going on.

    I think it is very inconsiderate.
