    I lived in China for six months and they hocked up an awful lot of phlegm and spat their wee hearts out over there.

    It's related to the diet.

    Oh ok thanks, Its just something I notice living beside them. Someone told me its not considered rude in their culture so they do it a lot more!

    The weirdest thing I've noticed in a few apartments over the years is those extraction fans that they have in bathrooms with no windows. The whole system is joined up between apartments and sometimes you hear very faint and acoustically distorted sounds of people talking from other apartments. It's like a creepy dream sequence in a horror movie.

    Aye. Last apartment I lived in, I was woken on my first Saturday there thinking there was a dog manically barking in my en suite. Turns out the neighbours used to their dog out on the shared rooftop to piss.

    Try living with neighbours who:

    Throw burning clothes horses out windows
    At 3am try to position a satelite dish on a balcony when they're obviously locked out of their skull, but somehow magically align it correctly and all you hear from the OH is "hooold it there" and he's two inches from becoming a statistic in a "misadventurous" death", after falling 50 feet from a building
    Hit the fire alarm button (in the usual red case) instead of the plunger button used for turning on the lights, at 3am on a sunday morning.
    Believe that Ace of Base and Whigfield is just fookin great 20 minutes after setting off the fire alarm and putting the frighteners in every single person in the building...

    I could go on....

    I lived in a student estate in the UK for a few years. The strangest thing I saw was my fake tan covered neighbours having a mickey measuring contest in their back garden.

    I had other neighbours who had ankle deep litter throughout the entire house and had started eating outside on the roof of the garage for lack of a space to put food anywhere. They had to clean up when they got an ant infestation.

    Are you serious? You want him to kill the dog :mad:



    Why dont you try talking to the neighbours? It obvious the dog is bored or not trained properly and its the owners that need to do this.
    You poisoning it or kicking it or hurting it is not going to do anything for its behaviour, its the owners that need to be retrained.


    Back on topic..I used to live in an apartment along side a south african girl who though she was the next rhianna or lady gaga or something..only thing is she hadnt a note in her head. The cranberries zombie or the 4 non blondes being sang at midnight that sounded like a cat being raped was not the most pleasant experience...
    Dead right. Hate poisoning. Just shoot it, it's more humane.

    I had an neighbour and although not exactly odd, the only time I ever saw him or talked to him was when he poked his head over the fence separating our backyards. Always wore the same hat. In fairness to the man, he gave me sagely advice on numerous occasions.

    how do you poke your head?
