    Hi All

    Im back again with yet more issues with my charming neighbor

    So here is the long and short of what happened

    At 3:10am (Monday morn) she rang my doorbell waking me up complaining about a buzzing noise that is keeping her awake as its "terrible" and has kept her up for "last 2 days"
    Im still half asleep and gobsmacked when this happens and there is nothing on in my house when I go to bed as Im a stickler for powering things down. Im such a light sleeper that a noise like she described would keep me up. Plus I was away all Friday night/Saturday morn and late home on Saturday night / Sunday morn(2am+)

    I have been to the Garda this morning to lodge a complaint against her so its on record

    Anything else I can really do? Totally shattered at the moment

    There are other things that you can do but if you have been to the Gardai, I think that you should wait and see if they can resolve the matter.

    I don't think I have ever had the pleasure of having a charming lady ring my doorbell at about 3 am ......... I just haven't lived I guess.

    I might have invited her in for a cuppa and a bikkie ........

    :eek:

    I had a neighbour like that growing up. My poor mother still does...

    The funniest occasion was when she left a note through the letterbox, complaining that my loud guitar playing had kept her up till 5am. At the time, I was living about 40km away for college. I would seriously love to see the size of that amplifier!

    The only way do deal with that class of mad bint is to entirely ignore her. Don't answer the door. Blank her if you see her on the street. That's what my sisters and I did. My mother always tried to be polite and 'neighbourly', until even she got sick of it, and did the blanking thing. At this point, none of the neighbour's speak to her, as when she got no reaction from our house, she moved on to the next. Very sad for her, as she's now totally isolated, but at least she's not annoying anybody any more. Her madness is not your problem, and she has no business trying to make it so.

    :pac:

    I'm glad someone was less mature than I to have posted it.

    I don't know what you mean, I was simply suggesting that making the person breakfast might foster good neighbourly relations.

    Stupid to wake you up at 3 am, could have waited to the next morning to call and say "There is something making noise, I've noticed it for the last couple of nights..."

    I think reporting to the gardai is a little extreme but I suspect from your opening comment there maybe a history here!
