    From upstairs it's even better, she doesn't see it coming.



  • Registered Users Posts: 9,922 ✭✭✭spookwoman


    Would work over our front door when she walks up our path. 😈



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,643 ✭✭✭suvigirl


    Is.she actually in your front garden/drive/ property??

    Or do you have a public path outside the kitchen window?

    You could always put pictures of some horrendous stuff in the window for her to look at......

    I’m home 50 minutes and my neighbours dog is going apeshit barking, yelping and screeching again

    Hopefully it tires itself out by the time it gets dark and I can relax, in peace and quiet.

    The noisiest inconsiderate gobshîte of a neighbour would have to get the noisiest head melt of a dog….

    It's a weird setup. The garden is communal. The house split in 2 where our "Front" is the back and a path stops in front of our window and just before that a path leads to our front door like a driveway. There is a patch of grass on their side and ours.

    To get out our front door to go to the shops we have to walk up their side but we keep that to a minimum because of privacy. We have to pass by 4 windows. They are big windows.

    Our back is the main front and garden, the main path splits to their front door and carries on to our back door that is around to the side of the building. We use that if its wet out because we only pass 1 window, we go through the grass otherwise. That path is like the one we would use if we went out our front door, it's right by the windows. The only thing on our side are the smart meters for the power.

    It's only fair we keep to our own sides especially when it's right outside the door and windows, and they said the same when we moved in. But our side is their dogs toilet area and our plants have been damaged by her carelessness.

    My family do not like it especially my mum when she is still in her dressing gown and someone is standing right outside our windows on purpose like Danny Glick. This thing of her standing in front of our windows is something she does when she is annoyed or trying to get our attention to go out to her, she knows there is cctv in the windows because of late night snooopers. They had no problem with them there. We've had her do it at 22.30 at night and it's got to a point we check the camera before heading out to make sure she's not out there waiting.

    I have plant pots in front of our back window on the grass, it's on our side and she will come over and move our stuff. I have never moved anything belonging to them except their chairs when blocking the main path. She does not understand boundaries of any kind. It's something to see and experience to understand.

    Jesus, I can't even make out how your neighbourhood is set up!

    I will just say, and I know and appreciate most people don't want to get the guards involved, there may be an offence under section 10 of the Non Fatal Offences Against the Person Act. If it gets really bad.

    Toilet paper that tears off itself before the acquired amount is reached.

    Correct, it was a cardinal sin for ages to wear black shoes with blue jeans like that guy, now suddenly it is on trend. I only ever buy straight cut jeans now and to hell with what is in fashion. Too tight or too loose and jeans look stupid anyway. Not even mentioning the jumper his granny knitted him for his birthday.

    Seeing videos of people wrestling with lions and bears on youtube and thinking there some sort of animal whisperer and "can understand them" and keep them around their other pets such as cats and dogs, so irresponsible.

    When you double knot your shoe laces too tight and you've just cut your nails so the only way to open the knots is using a ninja throwing star, or other such pointy implement.

    When the Milk Guy in the supermarket takes an interminably long time to re-stock the shelves with fresh tetrapaks. All that was left there were litres with best before dates of 25 April (which was the date on the stuff I bought last Saturday). The stuff on his steel trolley had a date of 3 May.

    Went back three times during my shopping trip around Dunnes this morning. Ended up asking him can I open the plastic wrapping myself and take out three litres. He grudgingly said "ok".

    My Toaster.

    It must be hitting the gym when no one else is around because with the last few weeks several times it's catapulted the toast onto the floor.

    Surprised as its about 6 years old so you'd think it would be weaker now if anything.

    Maybe it's just angry. Did you hurt its feelings?



  • Moderators, Computer Games Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 80,064 Mod ✭✭✭✭Sephiroth_dude


    Or just maybe it's something else and you need to get yourself a cat

    Was going to post that I was happy that it's bright and sunny today and no lawnmowers were being used in my earshot. Now there are 3, what is with the compulsive grass cutting in an area that will be underwater in a nanosecond?

    Found some unused dog food measures which are beaker-shaped, and tried to donate them to animal charities who say they have enough, no prob with that, ta'ed ppl can't see that they could be used for so many different things esp this time of year.

    You've answered your own question.

    Sometimes you have to get it cut when it actually dries out, cos it could be wet for another month from the next day.

    I was using the good weather to put together a bike stand that I bought ages ago. When I finished, I decided to use it to fix a problem on my second bike, the brake disc rubbing. Ideally, you'd hear if it was rubbing, but some goon across the estate decides to mow his lawn. It's a small enough lawn but he's taking ages to do it!

    I persisted, unsuccessfully, until some lad visiting a neighbour stopped his car outside my house with the engine running, while he goes two doors up for a chat with my neighbour. Hopefully he's gone now, although I can still hear a lawnmower…



  • Registered Users Posts: 30,316 ✭✭✭✭freshpopcorn


    Yep it was.

    Similar if you wore socks pulled up with shorts it was a NoNo. Now it's d thing to do.

    Bl00dy Cloths Pegs.

    I don't see why they couldn't make the springs out of stainless steel and the main parts out of UV stabilized plastic.

    My wife was out this morning and before she went she said there's some washing at the back door can you hang it out to dry. Well I don't think I'm that heavy handed but of the 20 or so cloths pegs I used the springs dropped out of 2 and on another 4 the plastic bits snapped as a went to use them.

    Wake me up when it's all over.

    I got some stainless steel ones, only I can't remember if it was in Argos before they closed or in Home Store and More. Or maybe Dunnes? Anyway, they looked like these:

    TWO days I've had a blinding sinus headache, attendant by ear flapping, choking and coughing. Now they are all out cutting plants and releasing pollen so I can choke all over again.

    Thanks have them on my Amazon watchlist. Only reason I didn't buy them was that the last thing I got from Amazon that was supposed to be Stainless Steel rusted straight away. If you think there is any chance that they won't rust I'll give them a go.

    Wake me up when it's all over.
