Inconsiderate or just plain rude?

[daydream**believer]

WTH is wrong with people? Are they just so self absorbed that they dont think about other people or are they just plain rude?

In the last 4 months these are some of the rude people ive had to deal with

1. Woman likes to go for 6am walks up my street. She has her phone with headphones on. She holds the phone in front of her and yells into it the whole time she is walking. She is so loud she wakes all of my household up. I went out and asked her to stop. She now only does it on Sat and Sun mornings. How nice of her...NOT

2. Man likes to go for walks at 5:15am every weekday morning. No big deal apart from the fact that he bounces a basketball while walking. So at 5:15am on the dot we hear BOING....BOING....BOING....BOING. Hubby goes out and asks him to stop bouncing the ball and is told to "Bleep off. Its a free country"

3. Ive had to leave notes on 3 people cars who decide that rather than walk a small distance to the high school, they will just park across my driveway instead

4. Neighbours moved out of their house on the weekend. They must of decided that they didnt need the ugly metal drum that they used to keep their chook food in at their new house. So where do they leave it? On the grass area right out the front of my house. Hubby rolled it back down their driveway.

5. 9:30pm last night. Kids are in bed and hubby and I are watching Breaking Bad (great show) when all of a sudden we hear a loud motorbike noise outside. We wait a while so see if it goes away but it doesnt. We go take a look and a group of 4 adults have decided that 9:30pm would be a great time to take their mini, noisy as hell, motorbike for a ride on the tennis courts across the road from my house. I go over and say "Hey, i have kids trying to sleep in here." They respond with "So what?" I then say "I'll just go call the cops then." So they leave

I mean come on. WTH is wrong with these people?

There is no law that says you can't walk on a public street talking on your phone.

Same with the ball.

Move house? To one that is further back from the street.. with bedrooms at the back.

but there is about motor vehicle noise.

Did I address motor vehile noise (one incident in the opening post) in that post of mine. No,  I didn't.

actually, here in SA i was told it is against the law to disturb someones peace no matter what time of day.

I was told that by a police officer when i rang about a party music blaring at 1am a few years ago. They asked why i didnt call earlier and i said i wasnt sure what the times were that they could play music loud too. They told me if its disturbing your peace, no matter what time, you can ring the police.

Good luck with that.

Hello, Police Officer, someone walked past my house bouncing a basketball, talking on their phone.

Next morning call again, say same thing... repeat etc

Don't police have more important things to do than field calls from people like that? Like investigating armed robberies etc.

Must be nice to be able to sleep past 5am on a regular basis.  I've been able to do that only for the past 2 years.  50 years before that, no chance.  Had to go to work.

wth?

So what are you insinuating? That because we sleep past 5am, we dont work?

[polksaladallie]

No, I did not insinuate that.  Accept words that are said instead of reading animus into them.

My OP did not mention the law at all so this thread is actually NOT about the law.

Its about "Inconsiderate or just plain rude?"

There are rude and inconsiderate people in the world who dont break the law you know.

Then you have to suck it up.....moaning on a forum isn't going to stop these people 'annoying' you.

The other residents in your street might not even notice these annoying people.

[daydream**believer]

am, where did i even say i was going to call the police?

Just a rminded for you...this thread isnt about the law, breaking the law or anything lawful at all.

Its about rude inconsiderate people.

I personally would not do any of the things mentioned in my OP because i would assume that others may not be up at that time of day, people may need to use their driveway, my neighbours may not want my rubbish on their front yard or people may be in bed at that time of night.

But i guess im just considerate or the people around me

i can moan where ever i want to thankyou.

This thread is not against ebay board rules.

If you dont wish to read my moaning, feel free to visit another thread

I think you need to move... near a high school and  motorbike for a ride on the tennis courts across the road from my house.

Pick a quiet cul de sac next time.

If the law doesnt prevent people from doing the noisy things you find annoying then it is not worth moaning about them... what is the point? It won't make you feel any better at 5am tomorrow when you hear a ball being bounced on the path outside.

[gleee58]

I am always tempted to record the noise and play it back at the noisy neighbours before dawn in the morning...

then I remember that that would wake up all the others who were sleep deprived too  😄
