We moved into this house June last year, after 19 years in the other house. We thought we hit the jackpot with a house we didn't have to repair, or at least not as much. And no huge yard to look after. There are a few repairs that need to be done, which is fine, make the garden pretty, but now, after just a year, we are trying to save and move again. All this stuff that's happened, none of us have the interest to make the garden look nice (it's not overgrown and yucky, but things like weeding and pruning a little more, putting in more plants)
Apart from the people who EVERY WEEK set off fireworks in the street late at night, idiots playing their drums early in the morning, a kid over the road who has this lowriding tricycle with plastic wheels instead of rubber, so we can hear him everywhere he goes, for hours and hours those
plastic tyres griding past our house (we are on a corner). A guy who rides his dirt bike up and down the street at 2 in the morning.
The main problem we have is with the people who live behind us. Over the fence there are three units, the front house (which is opposite us) is quiet and fine. The last house the only noise they make is revving the car for EVER in the mornings...which is ok now that i hear it keeps stalling lol. The house in the middle is the one who right royally sh*ts me to tears.
Apparently atm this womans bf/hubby is away on holiday and that is another story (that's actually her quote) she has i think 3 children, one of high school age who has ALOT of problems at school and apparently isn't very bright when it comes to common sense. The other two are younger. Alot of times they've kicked the ball into our yard, or onto our garage, and instead of coming to our door, they try climbing over the fence, or cut through our driveway just for the hell of it (we have a driveway that enters one side of the house and goes down the side to the other onto the road, but now we've had to block the middle of it with a huge bunch of branches we pruned months ago to stop trespassing).
The thing is, they have no backyard to play in, they do this in the narrow driveway that runs along the 3 units. There are two parks a minute walk from us, and then three school ovals a bit further out! The mum is always banging doors, yelling at her kids, and last week i saw her walking past our house swearing her head off, with her little kid next to her!! (ie:
this and
that)
So far its been about 3 or 4 times she's come to our house for 'help' she needed to use the phone....she can't pay the rent on her mobile...(who knows how she can afford to look after 3 children and 3 cats but not a phone she doesn't need!?!?!?) she used our home phone to call a mobile number, told dad she needed her phone book or something, ran back to her house, came back about 20 mins later and the whole time she left our phone ON on the mobile call!!!! She said the next day she would send her little girl around to give us money for the call. Never happened, that was months ago. She's taken advantage of us other times, knowing someone will be home and that we don't drive. So now if she comes to the door, we ignore her (we have a peephole) there are a million neighbours, and we are the newest. Why couldn't she go to someone else first?
So i was in the bathroom when this happened a couple of hours ago. Apparently two kids were trying to climb over our huge metal side gate to get a ball from our backyard, mum and dad saw them and screamed at them, so they came to the front door to ask for their ball. Mum and dad reminded them that if they need something they ASK. This is our property, we own it, it's private, they are trespassing. The gate that we have, if the kids had actually reached the top, they would have broken something, or died and then we'd be the ones in a sh*t because of their sheer stupidity.
My mum gets so stressed. She works full time in the city, as a legal secretary. She travels to and from there by bus/train and it's always full and busy, it's a long trip both ways, and if something runs late she can't afford to be late to work. When she hears some sort of commotion, she gets really upset, she can't relax on the weekends, the days she needs for herself!!!
I don't know how to help. This dumb
of a woman has no control over her children, i've seen her around, but properly met her a few months ago when her kitten (looked only 4 months old) escaped from her house and hid in our yard. We had to tell HER the cat was here, she was sitting at home instead of looking for it. I sat there for ages trying to coax it with gentle talking and food, it was getting dark and it was hiding amongst the grass. This kitten was from her own cats, wasn't desexed or anything. Only when we suggested she NEEDS to have it desexed and get it registered at 6 months did she think it was a good idea, she said 'oh well i properly should now that my cats has her second litter'. The kitten was absolutely scared out of its wits, and when she picked it up, it freaked out and tried as best it could to push away from her and scratch her to escape. She sounded like a simple woman, dressed and spoke like a child, when i'm guessing she was in her 30s...she has CHILDREN!!!...ffs
I'm so sick of these people!!! If something happens with that woman and her kids again i swear i'm going to slap some common sense into her!! I'm so sorry if this all seems stupid, but i am fuming, and had it up the my eyeballs with
morons who don't THINK!!!!!
Oh did i mention the brother/sister duo who accosted me at the bus stop months ago talking about getting knocked up at 13, wanting me to see his sisters boobs, asking me to be a godmother, asking me how do i like sex with my boyfriend, that their mum is a hooker and is dating twins half her age, that they are completely in love with themselves and that any man and woman would LOVE to be them?? and it turns out they really were not pretending to be dumb incestous hicks. The brother saw me at the train station a couple of months later and i completely ignored him, he and his sister ended up following me 5 train stops and a bus ride to the shopping centre just so i would talk to them!!!!
Why ME!?!?!??
