oh man, this thread is so great, I’ve had belly laughs throughout. My favourite was this banger

as for notes, we had one on the water cooler at my last job, with a picture of a T-Rex saying “my arms are too short to replace the water, what’s your excuse?” and somebody wrote in pen “it’s somebody else’s job” which of course ruffled MANY feathers.

I’m sadly not in that group anymore, it got slow so I joined in on some trolling and got kicked out.

All time highlights:
-Somebody playing music all night and keeping everybody awake, next morning he comes in and apologises after being named and shamed, says he had no idea it was a disturbance. Multiple people reply they’d hammered on his window and door and got not answer, he responded that he heard them but doesn’t like to open the door when he doesn’t know who it is. People were hammering on the guy’s door for literal hours.

-A guy claimed he’d seen a burglar on the roof, which excited lots of people, and caused him to embellish just how burglary the burglar looked to the point that he was nigh on claiming there was a mask and a stripey jumper and a big bag saying “swag”. Somebody says they contacted management and they’ve confirmed it was maintenance up there. Not wanting to lose face the guy carries on claiming it was a burglar and says he has pics and vids to prove it, but comes out with the most 2002-ass excuses imaginable like “just as soon as I find the cable to plug my camera into the PC I’ll upload them onto flickr and then you’ll all see” and refuses to let it slide while we keep tagging him for a week he’s like “my cat had chewed the cable, I’ll have to buy another”, “the files became corrupted when I tried to upload them” etc.

-Ongoing OBSESSION that thieves were getting into the gated complex surrounded by massive fences, white people losing their minds at the sight of any young BAME lad and claiming they’ve spotted a burglar. Old lady barrels in going “I saw a burglar come through the gate today, he must’ve pickpocketed somebody because he buzzed himself in with a key fob”, when pressed how the fuck she knows it’s a burglar she says “he was walking quickly and checking his over his shoulder, a common tell of opportunistic thieves” :skull: :skull: :skull:

some new contenders to the jovial lad’s bad neighbour crowd, directly across the road from me, someone has decided to turn their shed into a gym (can see their weight lifting silhouette) whilst playing music at a ridiculous volume, it annoys me and i’m across the road, dunno what it must be like for their direct neighbours. thinking of putting a passive aggressive poster on my window telling them to cut it out

That does sound annoying but probably best to start with politely asking them face to face to turn it down

Best to start

  • Polite face to face conversation with the neighbour to explain that the music may be causing a disturbance to others.
  • Big passive-aggressive poster in the window opposite the gym

please be realistic, nobody is ever going to speak to their neighbour face to face unless their very life depends on it

my neighbours are having multiple loud parties into the small hours every week and I’m moving house to avoid having to ask them to turn it down

The guy’s working out all the time.

The best option is to anonymously pay some kids to post a note through his front door to avoid him knowing who to come over a fuck up in a rage.

I know we’re all a bunch of weedy nerds here, especially me, but that doesn’t mean everyone who owns gym equipment is a former school bully or in a steroid-induced rage all the time :wink:

Could just use the post

How long are his gym sessions? This sounds like something that shouldn’t really be impinging on you any more than someone taking a hedgetrimmer to their garden (which is intensely annoying but, you can’t really ask them to stop)

#168

seem to vary some weekends it is a big chunk of the evening, it is such a volume that I think it is unreasonable even for short periods, would hate to live next to them. I would argue it is different to a hedge trimmer, as a hedge trimmer is just as loud as it is, the music doesnt need to be played at such a ridiculous volume

Oh absolutely. But I’m absolutely not going to be the guy who finds out by either putting up a pass-agg poster or having an, “Excuse me mate, could you not do the thing that’s getting you through lockdown,” convo! :smiley:

It isn’t that though, it it. Just asking for them not to play the music at a volume that causes discomfort and distress to neighbours. If it is loud enough it can be heard on the opposite side of the street it is definitely too loud.

#173

Ah I misread, I thought TTF was saying that they were being weirdly exhibitionist with their gym stuff too.

#174

(Although I still wouldn’t confront them. If anything I’d just dob them into the council every time.)

#175

there’s a coffee mug in the sink at work that’s been there for 4 days now, just filling up with everyone’s dirty dish water, would take 5 whole seconds to wash but everyone is just passive aggressively leaving it there. I love it
