People can be very inconsiderate at times...

Not just inconsiderate but plain rude as well! I blame the parents.

We get that all the time. They sit on the wall drinking and talking loudly. If we are lucky it doesn't end in a punch up!
It is very annoying having to sleep with the windows closed in summertime because of this.

I've not been able to have a window open at night in London yet. They love to drive in their cars down to the river, open all car doors and let the music woom out for everyone to hear. Anti-social behaviour like this unfortunately is "low priority" to the police. They have no time for it or so I have been told by an operator. The other day OH and I watched in fascination as a loud vroom-vroom car came to a screeching halt on the other side of the road, a bloke jumped out and p*ssed on the wall. Then the car screeched off. Absolutely amazing.

I see people p*ssing against our wall on an almost daily basis (in broad daylight as well). What really got me was the day that I looked out and saw the street sweeper having a cr*p by our gates! I rushed downstairs and managed to catch up with him and make him clear it up.

Alotaku!

I only get one day off in a week where I can sleep in the mornings and thats Sunday. What really annoyed the hell out of me was when on Sunday I was woken up by dumb idiots who clearly had finished clubbing and were drunk fighting over a girl. I mean seriously, get a life. If you want to fight, go home and do it. Don't wake me up at 6am on my day off to hear you drunk. You could even hear the punches and kicks on the persons body which only irritated me more. His friend had to swing him over the shoulder and carry him off.

Bevvy if I found someone doing there business on my porch, I'd set their exposed areas alight with a cigarette lighter or the one that came with my gas oven. That would teach them.

I was parked in asda the other day when I saw some lady take her dog through the carpark. The dog needed to stop and do a poop and although the law states she needs to clean it up, she just walked off. It really irritated me. I didn't have a carry bag at that precise moment as I was waiting in the car but if I did I would have picked it up myself and rubbed it across her face reminding her she must have forgotten to take her belongings with her.
