NJ2 Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 Wise words Jack. Hedgie should get in and see what she's got. A bit of time spent now could see you in the will. Nothing ventured nothing gained. Even if you don't, it's a foot in the door for the funeral and free sasij rolls. Serg’s best post by a country mile and sage advice as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know how much those places cost. They burn money, if you're not poor and being kept by the social, you soon will be lodging there. Care in the community is where the money is. Try and avoid the times the carers go in to wipe their arse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesher Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'm looking for P&B to confirm if I'm being difficult here.... Our neighbour across the landing has decided that 04:30am would be a good time to take his bins out. He does this once or twice a week which wakes me up as he does about 2 or 3 trips and makes no attempt to be quiet at all. He also doesn't bother to put stuff actually in bins, just leaves about 8 or 10 Asda bags full of shite piled up in the corner of the bin area (which I then put in bins for him as I'm a complete mug it piles up and eventually we need to pay the factor to have someone to come in and clear it). As well as the above, whenever he does this the landing absolutely stinks for hours afterwards, and there are loads of wee flies in the landing and some manage to find their way into my flat. Would I be out of order to report this guy to the landlord? (although having read this back I now feel like I should have done so already) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross. Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Anonymous note through his door made up of letters cut out from newspapers and magazines threatening to have him kneecapped if he doesn't stop being a)noisy as f**k at inappropriate times, and b) a clatty b*****d. Should do the trick. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will look like an accident. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJ2 Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 It wasn't needed but cheers. Have you chapped his door and asked him not to do any of the things he’s doing that annoy you? I’d try that before reporting him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively just so you can say you’ve tried, I guess. Boy sounds like a total helmet but if you report him and they say have you asked him to stop, I’m guessing they’ll say try that before bothering us again... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alternatively instead of speaking to the manky b*****d he could just lie to the landlord if he asks and say yes he's asked him to stop. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesher Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I could lie but I wouldn't really feel comfortable doing that as there's a bit of a back story.... He went through a phase of stomping around the landing in the middle of the night int his pants screaming that he was going to kill someone named 'Jenkins'. Obviously this was a bit unsettling so the police had attended a couple of times (not called by me). His behaviour was becoming more erratic (he cracked the glass in the landing door by punching it) so I eventually wrote to the landlord as this was beginning to freak my girlfriend out. It turned out the guy has seizures that cause him to become aggressive and disorientated and this is what caused these incidents, which was fine as he's not in control of what he's doing. I now have a contact number for his sister and occasionally have to phone her or an ambulance if he's having one of these seizures. But the thing that annoyed me is that when the landlord spoke to him he denied the police had ever been in attendance and that he damaged the window, basically calling me a liar, so again this is why I'm inclined to go straight to the landlord. None of this actually bothered me that much until one of the wee flies landed in my glass of red wine the other week.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beesher Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 Well I thought because this is unrelated to his medical issues that it probably wouldn't be relevant, also I didn't want to embarrass him by having his sister come down to tell him how to use a bin properly. I think I'll have a word with him directly and put the posters up claiming he's a paedo, just to be on the safe side. Thanks P&B. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chomp my root Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I'd mention it to the sister, I understand your point about not lying but if he has aggression issues with his seizures then that's your 'get out' for not going directly to him but through the sister or landlord. You can explain to the landlord how you know about his issues too. I'd also speak to the neighbours, its affecting you then its probably affecting them too. You can then tell the sister/landlord that the wbole stair (or whatever) is in the same position. The landlord has responsibilities to the neighbours. Good luck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't understand why you're being so calm about things. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
