Things that irrationally irritate you about your neighbours

[Sandra6]

So you don't really know anything about her medical issues then?Well, maybe think again. Not been the case with my mate's boy.

To be fair, your mate's son is being looked after by his parents. This lady lives alone - the guy I assumed was her partner hasn't been seen since. It does seem crazy to me that somebody who clearly needs medical help is not getting it, but that's the nhs for you. I'm not completely heartless, she's clearly not well, but I'm inclined to think it's a mental , rather than physical , health issue that is leading to the numerous ambulances.

Some people are very shy or lacking in certain social skills, I would still be inclined to knock and offer.

I'm worried that would just come across as nosey - or backfire and land me with a neighbour who knocks on the door every five minutes.

I would just like to add, that when I say these things irritate me, it's in a way that a fly irritates you -once it goes away you don't think about it. I'm not sitting here fuming inwardly about the injustices my neighbours thrust upon me. I find Davina McCall far more irritating.

Parking. All of the opposite neighbours park on the road, meaning all of us on the other side have to park half on the pavement otherwise there's no room in the road. There are no lines or anything, so someone at some point had to have started the trend. Our adjoining neighbour has two noisy girls but it doesn't bother me because my drill was noisy last night. Give and take.

You are right that is irrational.

If there is no room on the road, park elsewhere not on the pavement
If you really must illegally park on the pavement it makes much more sense for just one side of the road to do it, if it were a random pattern then not only would there be less overall parking, but also it would be harder to navigate the chicanes.

Because they were worried that someone would vandalise it or steal it?

Surely they wouldn't sit there all day and night, 24/7, watching it? Thus those lf a villainous disposition would have ample opportunity to do the deed undetected.

Even so, watching someone kick the mirrors off your car doesn't stop them doing it either.

He's just a plum.

I am not saying that it makes any sense, but it might be what the neighbour is 'thinking'!

The point is that you have no idea what the person's medical needs are or the difficulties they face day to day. You could say that my mate's son's health issue are mental - what's the difference?

Sorry to hear about your friends difficulties and you say he is supporting 5 on his wage. The disabled son wil be entitled to ESA and PIP if he is as bad as you say and the wife carers allowance if she is providing 35 hours plus of care per week.Also she can ask for a carers assessment for further help.
They can if needed refuse to look after him further, they dont have to be stuck in this situation at all, theres residential care for people with complex needs including those who are violent.The options are not just sectioning or nothing, they absolutley cannot be made to look after him/have him in the house.
Either they are being fobbed off or not telling you the situation correctly.

Thank you for your kind words and helpful information and I will pass on all I can to them. I think the biggest problem is that the son has convinced the authorities that he has capacity and therefore is not deemed to need any support. As far as they are concerned, he doesn't have complex needs at all, so doesn't require support. I think his parents even kept a log of all the ambulance call outs over a particularly bad period and presented these to as evidence of their son's difficulties, but it did no good so far as I know. They just seem to have been left. My wife is very much up-to-date on benefits for this type of thing (and so am I to a certain extent), and as far as we are both aware, they are getting all the financial assistance they can.

I do know that they are telling me the full story. This is my best friend, we're like brothers. They are nice, honest people.

Thanks again.

Parking can be a nightmare. We had, in our old house, where we parked on car on the front and another in the yard to the rear of the house a spate of a guy from down the street parking his works car on our front on Friday evening, while we were still at work, and leaving it there until Monday morning. I cured him by diving out of the house one Monday morning as he sneaked up to move it and saying:-

'Hello, I didn't know who's car that was but three teenagers have been trying to get into it all weekend, I nearly called the Police.

Funnily enough it never reappeared on out front. (Some 10 houses from where he lived.) Instead he parked it out side the house opposite his home, no doubt to the annoyance of that householder.

My neighbour on one side is a bit deaf and 86. The other side is rented out to people who like to recreate their summer holidays at 3am in the morning by listening to the 'Ibiza Dance Party tunes 2016' at full blast. I have been and had 'words' a few times, so has my lodger whose room is at the rear and suffers most. One of them was playing loud video games on their plasma telly when I called. He seemed to think it was only about 10.30pm and was somewhat surprised to see on my phone that it was actually 5.20am. Lucky for him it was a Saturday morning although I missed my 'lie-in'.Twat

He wasn't a policeman was he?

"A guy is speeding down the road doing considerably faster than the posted limit. He passes by a speed trap and very quickly the police cruiser is in pursuit. The speeding driver accelerates even more and the police car has to floor it to stay with the car he is chasing. When the officer finally catches up to the speeding car, the driver pulls over and stops.

The officer struts up to the driver of the car and asks him " What in the world do you think you are doing driving so fast like that?"

The driver replies, " I'm sorry officer but my ex-wife ran off with a cop and I thought it was you trying to bring her back"... "
