    1st time posting, not sure if im in the right place??

    How can I find out if a house near me is social/hse or privately rented? Had a nightmare with one of them today, kicking the ball off my window on purpose and wouldnt move when I asked him too. Actually feel intimidated, jesus when I was younger if an adult asked me to move I wouldnt dare answer back....

    Ring the doorbell and ask.

    If you feel intimidated or threatened then call the Gardai or talk to the kids parents, whether or not the house is owned by the council is moot is it not?

    Tough cookies, dont think I want to draw them on me.

    Beat him mercilessly to make an example.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,630 ✭✭✭jaykay74


    Maybe its just that the person in question is a prick and nothing to do with that the house is privately owned or not.

    Yeah, I know where you're coming from, parents are a lot harder to deal with these days.

    I think OP is wondering can he complain to the council to get them moved.... not discriminating

    Even if they are council tenants it's going to take a lot more then this to get them moved.
    You'll need months of records and more serious incidents before the council will do anything

    Halloween is coming OP, I'd leave a hurley inside your hallway and I can see some fireworks coming through your letterbox, sorry

    Lidl and Aldi sell cheap CCTV some days and you can record to a computer. Could be very affordable for you

    We do, we just poke a shotgun through the crack until we know who it is...

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

    Next time he is kicking the ball off ur window calmly walk out the front door to where he can see you, squat and take a dump you won't be seeing him again after that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,006 ✭✭✭MistyCheese


    No, Misty Cheese. I'm sorry, I don't know a "Social Housing".

    Or just kick the little fúcker in the sack.




    Don't take this literally


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 27,252 ✭✭✭✭stovelid


    You get cheeky kids from all backgrounds OP.

    Could you drive your car over one of them by mistake?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,615 ✭✭✭kildare.17hmr


    jus go and tell the parents and give him a chance. If it happens again after that take it further or like someone else said kick him in the sack! Ya shouldn't be afraid to approach your neighbours about a problem


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 54 ✭✭B0 SELECTRA


    use your brain if you cant out smart a child there isnt much hope for you :rolleyes: :rolleyes:


    first thing would be try the parents call around be friendly or just ignore it kid will get bored


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,737 ✭✭✭mawk


    Yeah, polite word with the parents is your first step. Don't blast him with piss, don't call in the citizen, don't play atari jaguar with his ma.

    Just a polite chat with his folks. And if it continues.. Fritzl him.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,822 ✭✭✭iPlop


    The only viable option is to ride the mother/father and record it, then show it to the little cúnt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,590 ✭✭✭✭dsmythy


    This is all I could find.

    You should have a word with the parents first, even if they do slash hook you. Then you'll know if they are reasonable or not.

    Thanks for the responses.
    I know I should call to the house, but im nearly 8 months pregnant and really dont need the stress of it, especially as I dont know how they will act. I was too slow and should have recorded it. Im not expecting them to be moved after one complaint but I just want it noted.
    We work really hard to keep our house and pay our mortgage every month, it just pisses me off that people can have so little respect for the area they live in.

    Well you cant smack the little gimp or you'll be the one getting done. Get down to his level physically and ask him nicely not to do it again. Doesnt matter a dam if the house is privately rented or social housing, ass holes are ass holes.

    If he does it again, tell him you'll wait for him after school, wait for all his mates to come out with him and say loudly "if i ever catch you with your tongue down my sons throat again i'll bate ya". The ghey fear factor should do it.

    Bad attitude.

    Maybe they had intent & intend to continue.

    I live on an estate myself & now & then the local youths can get a little 'exhuberant' at times, taking liberties, etc...

    So far it's been grand.

    I just go out to them and ask 'What's the scene with 'whatever', or 'Is there a problem here lads?'

    Things calm down pretty quickly then.

    I'm a bit lucky that I can approach situations like this well.

    I could well imagine, though for a woman on her own, it could be quite stressfull though.....


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,513 ✭✭✭donalg1


    Well you never said you was pregnant tis easy then. When you have the baby keep the after birth and if he does it again with the ball force feed him. Or smear sh** on ur window defo won't kick his ball at it


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,125 ✭✭✭westendgirlie


    Not a bad attitude at all. A bounced ball led to the OP asking were the kids doing it from social housing.

    Kids have been bouncing balls against stuff since the ball was invented. Windows have been broken, kids have scarpered for their lives, parents have paid for repairs and the kids have had to do extra chores as payback. And those kids cames from all backgrounds. The ball does not discriminate.

    Why is everyone so frightened of their neighbours? Perhaps saying hello to each other might help. Maybe, the kids will say hello to you too, rather than think of you as the posh one who thinks she is better because she bought her house.

    these twats used to be industrial schooled and ****ed off to north wales with a one way ticket back in the day.

    no need to be lectured on the ''good old days'', i know what went on, but think the pendulum has swung too far the other way these days, years ago there was a large working class and a smaller % of neer do wells, but it's the other way round now.

    the class system and crony capitalism's ultimately to blame

    It's feckin glass!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,915 ✭✭✭MungBean


    Next time the little **** pisses you off go mental, shout and roar about beating him to death with his mothers severed leg.

    Kids hate that kinda abuse and if their parents come knocking act as nice as pie and make the kids out to be liars.

    And if ya can set the kids up by giving them stuff like dvds or something. Then go round and claim they stole it. Once the kid gets a reputation as a compulsive liar you can do what ya like and nobody will believe em. Kid wont mess with ya if he knows he's getting a kick in the hole and nobody gives a shít.

    Gotta outsmart him ya see.
