Child Item

Just had a bit of a barney with a neighbour

Specialun

So i was up stairs an hour ago and i could hear my dog going nuts barking..a ran down, opened the door to see 3 kids staring in my living room window..they were actually leaning on the window sill. I went out a said go away..10 mins later its off again..i stormed out and shouted at them " i said go away, this isnt your house and get off my lawn" . I caught a kids bike and pushed it back into the middle of the green

15 mins later i hear my door bell and its my neighbour

"What gets you off shouting at my kids" is what im greeted with
" they were on my lawn twice pal, this is my house and not there playground" says I
" you have no right to raise your voice at my kids" says he
Im a bit pissed off now so I says " listen her pal dont come to my door mouthing off. Wouldnt it be more in line if you disciplined the kids. You dont own this green and they shouldnt be on my lawn. Now go away "

He this boots my front door and storms off

What a massive dick.

Have you had any instances like this. Are your neighbours dicks

Jesus, relax, it's such a nice day outside and you get mad about nothing. It's children playing for ****s sake get a ****ing grip. Evil human being, just has to infect everyone else with their bad mood.

They need to learn boundaries. OP pays 300k for a house. He should be able to have a **** on the couch at 3pm in the afternoon to pornhub on his 72" 3d hd Lcd smart as feck tv with dolby surround sound without some little bollixes staring in his window.

Evil.... Gtfo

Well you're lucky you are not my neighbor then. You are not special everyone paid for the house or rents beside you. I bet if someone kicks a ball into your garden they never get it back then. Some people just need to relax and get a grip and show some humanity. World would be a much better place.

It would be if people learned to respect boundaries as well.

You may have missed my first post, I don't read the entire thread either though so fair enough. However the OP has now left himself no where to go. A softly, softly may have thrown the OPs neighbour off guard and the kids would have still had their bollocking. Now he's got a fairly useless parent who is probably at home ranting about the wanker at number 5, the kids probably realise they're not going to get in trouble for doing it again.

Calling the guards would possibly be unhelpful in certain areas.

I did read your first post, I believe you should always stand your ground when someone comes to your door, the onus is on them to be polite, I'd not tolerate anyone ranting at me at my door. Or kicking it.

I don't agree he's no where to go, the da is probably ranting about the dick around the corner, but would still tell the child to stay away rather than cause more grief.

Agree re the Gardai, depends on the area, it would work where I live, no one here would appreciate Gardai knocking at their door over kids.

I had a neighbour who used to put a knife in every football we kicked over his wall as kids. That was wrong. The OP's scenario is different.

Haha oh the precious kids of today you cant be upsetting them like that... In fairness i would kinda argree more the OP than the kids Dad.. The Dad should have come over and got the full story before starting off with mouthing off.. You should look at electric fences..

Or some people could respect other people's property and right to privacy. This isn't about some kid coming in to get their ball, this is three 10-12 year olds peering in through the window. It's natural to ask them to leave. Maybe shouting at them wasn't the best policy but it certainly isn't behaviour that you should have to tolerate.

The guards aren't going to turn up for kids in the garden.

Your neighbor is a knob and should be ashamed of himself.

However, did you really need to be shouting at kids? What exactly were they doing? Could you not have dealt with the matter without resorting to that?

We had one neighbour who lived beside the green and the ball was constantly going in. They always returned it though. One time they must have had enough of it so when we knocked (probably after the 19th time that day) they opened the floor - is this it? With the ball sitting on top of a pitchfork hissing away deflating.

We were more careful in the future.

I can still picture them opening the door as if the ball had just landed on the pitchfork!

2 of them were staring in my window..the 3rd when i went out came from beside the house by the bins

A friend of mine saved for years & finally got a nice little semi detached in a nice quiet estate. Then the owner next door rented his house to a "settled" traveler family. So my friend is sitting in her back garden & three little scroats decide to sit on the wall with their legs in her garden. She carried on reading her book until one said "are you going to show us yer tits missus". Within hours I was being asked to fit a high trellis screen on the wall.

Eventually they were evicted after causing chaos. Gems like chainsawing logs on their front lawn at 11pm. After they moved out the neighbour was burgled. The Garda CSI arrived & started looking around. I asked if they knew who used to live next door. When I told them, they shut the door & drove off :pac:

I'm not saying for kids in the garden, but what happened as a result of kids in the garden, I'm saying for kicking the door. criminal damage.

It's not acceptable to call to a neighbours house and kick their door under any circumstances.

Something stupid like kids in the garden has already escalated to possible damage to property.

Serious answer is to call over to the neighbour now that you've both calmed down and explain that you want him to make sure his kids aren't coming over and staring in your windows. Apologise for throwing the kids bike and if he's reasonable he'll apologise for kitking your door.
Don't go down the "trespassing on my property" road.
No point in having neighbours that don't get on with you. You'd need to do something this evening to have any effect.

Otherwise, burn his house down. Unless it's a semi-d.

They way you use 'Pal' makes you sound very aggressive to be honest.

The sad thing is that the inaction by the Guards causes a lot of this. If a Guard popped in & had a word with the parents it could be nipped in the bud. These kids & parents will carry on because there are no consequences.

I know a woman that had problems with kids throwing stones at her windows, dareing the youngest to ring doorbell, that kind of stuff. She lived alone and was at wits end, she was planning on selling. Someone asked me to put up a camera for her, when I called she said she returned it due to something missing, it was a clear lie, as she said that she feared the camera would cause more problems. She had the Guards many times but nothing they could do even though they knew excatly which kids as some lived a few doors up, & without proof the parents back up the kids.

I told her if this was the USA she could have a gun, its her property to protect. Anyway latter that week her son put up the camera and since that.. nothing has happened, the kids have stayed away.

It was one of those Aldi-wildlife cams so doesn't look like standard security cam. It self records with movement, battery last 6 months & unless something happens no need to spend hours viewing vid.

(In your case I bet little Johny-jnr said dad that madguy in no4 pushed me off my bike for no reason..a few tears- of course the dad would get angry)
Get some descret cams and fence off your propery, if they enter your propery by jumping over a fence, they'll be trespassing -once you have it on cam.

Danonino.

Grab a few friends, few cans of Dutch gold and a firelog, set up outside the neighbours house with a guitar and play nothing but wonderwall.

Be grand.

Think twice about filming and recording children. Only saying.

As long as you refer to your garden as a lawn, the local kids will never respect you, OP.

I would never say anything to the kids around here, they'd batter me.
