Trivial things that annoy you Part 2

Oh honeygirl that is more than trivial!!!
My blood would be boiling. I won't even begin about my position.
Do you have wheelie bins you could leave in the space or a traffic cone? They can become their trivial annoyance then
My blood does boil but I can never catch the fecker, I would have to be at the window lying in wait and he never does it at the same time. I have thought about leaving the wheelie bins out but that would annoy the neighbour next door and he is narky enough as it is and likes everyone to keep their gardens tidy.0 -

Little darling down the street used to cycle deliberately across every time I was driving out of my driveway, to entertain his pals.
He swaggered across the drive one day as I was driving in. I didn't put my foot harder on the accelerator...I swear...but he realised he had to skip it to get out of the way, on time. He doesn't do that anymore

I can never understand people throwing their children out as soon as they can walk and not wanting to stand out watching them.
And they'd be all over the media publicly grieving should anything happen to them. Where we live, the kids are actually allowed to scoot down the drive into an underground carpark. It curves towards the end so if a car is coming out, they wont see it until its too late and in any event they will be going too fast to stop. I have to inch out barely moving the car forward when I want to drive out, lest there be some unsupervised 5 year old hurtling towards me. I dont know how many times I've got out and explained how dangerous it is to them, they dont listen and their parents dont give a sh1t. Treat the communal garden like a giant, unsupervised creche.
Another time upstairs neighbours had a big party and let all the kids, their cousins etc out to play unsupervised. I was mildly annoyed at the level of noise as I was at home studying. Next thing I hear this almighty screaming coming from outside our door. It was one of the cousins I think, a little girl only about 4 years old, knocking on what she thought was her aunt/uncles house in hysterics because the other kids had upset her - but she was on the wrong floor! One of our male neighbours had come into the hallway to see wtf was going on but he was terrified to do anything to help lest he look like he had an ulterior motive. He looked so relieved when a woman appeared! In the end we had to go out together to the large group of kids and tell them one of their gang was inside and upset and they came and got her. Some people...

The gas part about it is if you say anything to the parents you become the worst person in the world.0 -

I should add, I'm a very careful driver and very conscious of small kids being on the road, or crossing suddenly out of the green, after a football.
I think, that day, he just copped on, having started with a slow swagger, that he had to hop it a bit faster.
The parents would have no idea that he used to cycle across, because since he was tiny, he has been out on the street, unsupervised.0 -

The curtains.Never mind the toys scattered across the place...
There a few kiddies that are only tots.... and are way too small to be out on the road.
There is no green area - and the children hang around on a bend. There are a gang of college lads that speed in and out and park all over the place so you literally have to creep in or you wouldnt see them running out from in between the cars.
If there was a green area, fair enough, if they were a bit bigger, fair enough... but these tots are barely walking... tiny babies .... its absolutely shocking.
I have a slightly different gripe about the kids in my area....well moreso the parents.
I'm regularly out on my street playing football with my kids or throwing my kids about the place. There are a few single mothers around my street as well and as soon as they see/hear me, they immediatly come out with thier kids. I don't mind this at all, I get more kids to mess with and to brainwash....but it's the single moms that are the problem.
They are obviously looking for some male attention and for some reason see me as the 11.30 diet coke break man. There is also one lady who has started bringing her daugther (late teens/early 20's who is a single mom who brings her son) and her other daughter who is a newborn.
Don't get me wrong, i dig the attention I'm getting, but they are getting in the way of me playing with the kids!
Then all the kids go into my house (which I don't mind) and pull all the toys they can find outside, so I have to clean all that cr*p up.
My other new gripe is that we have got ne neighbours who are absolutely great, they even brought me in cake one day. But they have a cat. I didn't grow up with animals (besides my brothers ) so I'm used to seeing them briefly or petting them for a few minutes. Thier cat gets confused which house it lives in and ends up coming into our house all the time. After walking through the house it realises its in the wrong house and freaks out and darts out of the house.
Also, it sits at my back door me-oawing for ages wanting to be let in.0 -

Sounds like your the village looker
I love seeing the parents out messing around with a ball with the kids !
My brother does this but he had to give it over cos parents were shouting over at him can ya keep an eye on so and so while I fly to the shop... and off the go and he is kinda left to be responsible for the child...
He gave it over when a woman went off for an hour and he had to bring her child into his gaff ... their dinner was ready and she was gone ages.. the child was hungry so they had to give the child dinner there and when yer woman got back she wasnt too pleased about it so he just messes out the back garden now instead.0 -
