Plain selfish idiocy

    This morning at about the 4am mark my neighbour triggered his homes smoke alarm. He couldn't work out exactly how to turn it off.. so.. he left it in the back garden.

    G'wan; top that.

    Why couldn't he do what everyone else does - jump and smack it with a tea-towel?

    My neighbour once had this exact same problem, except there was two smoke alarms. He just put them out in the garden because he didn't know how to turn them off and that was at 5am.

    i lived in a big apartment block where the alarms were all hard wired in and were directly outside the bathroom and could not tell the difference between steam and smoke.

    the alarms used to go off almost every day, invariably when someone either decided that a 3am shower was a good idea, or that they had the munchies and needed to burn some food.

    ironically enough, the one time our alarm didn't go off was when a candle had fallen onto a storage heater and filled the apartment with smoke. the sensor was actually triggered thankfully, but our alarm didn't sound even though everyone else's did. if it hadn't been for people actually checking the fire panel and coming to wake us up, we'd probably both be dead.

    almost every time after that i was the first one to the fire panel and ended up putting out apartment fires twice before the fire brigade even arrived, one of which was a deep fat fryer that had set light to half of someone's kitchen.

    so there is good and bad in them, even though they can be a PITA. :)

    now burglar alarms on the other hand are a different story. i swear if my neighbour over the road is ever actually robbed, i'll help them fill their van as the cnut has a habit of turning it on with a window open and then going away for a week and leaving it to go off every 30 minutes. :mad:

    My neighbour makes his stuff tangy. Now I, like most of my friends, enjoy my Zizzle sweet, not tangy! But that selfish cnut ALWAYS makes his Zizzle tangy and I reckon he intentionally does it to piss everyone else off.... he knows when he goes around to everyone elses gaff he gets his Zizzle sweet!

    Plain selfish idiocy!

    My neighbours horses escaped and ran down my recently re-done lawn, I heard them go down said to myself "I'm losing it, sounds like horses" looked out the window and there they were.

    Couple weeks later I heard a similar sound and said to myself "That backstard's let the horses out again" looked out to window to see about a dozen cows stampeding up the lawn.

    Neighbour walks past and says "Take ya a while to rake that out"

    My neighbour once had this exact same problem, except there was four barking dogs but he enver went near the fire alarm, he just left it. Turned out he had died in the fire.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    How the fúck does everyone have the "exact same problem" even though all the posts are different? :confused:

    I'm listening to a fcuking idiot driving up through an estate at 3:05am with a loud exhaust.

    You must live in my estate

    Our next door neighbours must love their vehicles, they come outside around 6 o'clock every morning to sit in the car and rev it for about a half an hour and his housemate sits on his scooter and revs that for a while. One of these days I will blast them with the cats piss. :mad:

    My neighbour once ate a fork, then he ate a plate, then he ate THREE SHREDDED WHEAT!!!

    This was about 25 years ago in fairness.

    I don't have any neighbours so no, no I can't:(

    Ghost estate or bogger?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,466 ✭✭✭Forest Master


    To the people trying to "top that" - why do you think 5am is worse than 4am?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,534 ✭✭✭SV


    I once had to leave a smoke alarm out the back cos I couldn't figure out how to turn it off.

    Had the selfish Smiths next door complaining though. Not my problem :/

    My neighbours have extremely loud sex nearly every night/ into the early hours of the morning. Worse still, I'm already aware that the woman's a heifer and her husband is pint sized, so whenever I hear them, I get fairly disturbing mental images :(

    And when they stop, there's a gang of cats which I thought were simply fighting viciously outside my window, but apparently they're at it too...
