Yup. He’s at it again. Just gone 7pm and one of his mates came round in the stupidest little chavmobile ever. I think it’s a Micra or something with blue lights on the bottom and a stereo the size of a grand piano in the boot.
The noise from the house was ludicrous. The bass and volume so high the sound was distorted. Obviously done to wind me up.
So I did as I was told the other weekend and rang 999, requesting police attendance due to prior threats of violence.
At 8pm, his mate left and it’s been silent ever since.
No police had arrived so I rang them back and told them not to bother. I’d look a bit of a prat if they turned up and the stereo was silent. I can also guarantee that he’d take it as an excuse to ramp it up again once they’d gone just to piss me off.
Back to square ******* one.
The council have been in touch and offered some calibrated recording equipment to monitor the noise. Now, they may be able to get it in the next week or two (dependant on another cancellation – seems the only have one set of kit), then it’s xmas and new year and they’re loathe to put it in then. Erm. In case he has a party? Isn’t that the whole point?
Sadly, there’s one downside to this – due to the Human Rights laws, as they’re technically going to be recording him, they have to let him know the equipment’s there and for how long. Which means he’ll be quiet as **** fro a week and then will just ramp it back up again straight away afterwards to “teach me a lesson”. It’s a no-brainer.
I am so ****** off, words can’t express it. And you wonder why people resort to violence. I thought the law was supposed to help people like me?
I’m working from home today, I’ll nip out later and get some nice chavtastic shell suit bottoms and a hoodie.
Just let me know where and when.
Rent a chav inc..
Scary, that ******* sucks. Useless workshy **** of a trading standards office. You’re welcome to borrow my “faux chavs” once I’m done with them.
You and me both, guy.
Trading Standards are refusing to help me in my case against our useless builder, because “we haven’t had enough complaints about him”.
********.
We’ll see how the council get on first. Then… who knows 😉
Annoyingly, the little funtwit was quiet last night so I didn’t get to call the council out. Grr. Unless he’s reading my blog as Dawn suggested. Though I doubt he can work anything more complex than a volume control.
I have a beige baseball cap, some adidas trackie bottoms and a grey hoodie. I’ve never worn them in unholy combination, but if you can find 5 other fake chavs, I’ll be quite happy to dress up and ‘accidentally’ be pushed into electrical equipment (while the others provide an ample distraction and the necessary shove of course) at aforementioned gatecrash.
I’m thinking sofa-cushion flinging would provide an ample distraction and also decent padding for crushing music devices without getting hurt…
😉
Good luck mate
Alright Matey. two words – Guerilla War. It’s time to ramp up the nastiness. Maybe leaving some razor wire in the garden for when his chav mates come round would be ideal – then when the party is in full swing wrap said wire around the chav-motor’s wheels – instant revenge on his fuckwit mates.
alright, maybe it’s taking it too far, but at least the council are actually willing to do something.
X – I thought about the cat poop thing, but he’s also got a pregnant girlfriend. Much as she’s a complete fuckwit as well, I’d not risk hurting the baby.
The other idea sounds OK, apart from the fact that I’d need some other people to volunteer to help out with that and I’ve had no luck chasing any down in the area who could come round on short notice.
HOWEVER – the council have been in touch. They DON’T have to tell him about recording equipment (misinformation from the CAB) and they have some ready to install tomorrow. In addition, the lass I’ve been dealing with is on call tonight. She’s said it’s preferable if it kicks off tonight to call her over as that’ll remove the need for the equipment at all.
I am now actually *hoping* he has his mates over on his night off…
It’s really gotten far past the point of ridiculousness.
Over here you’d have probably gotten sued even though your clearly in the right.
Absolutely insane world, this is.
OK – here’s a couple of possibles?
MAYBE, if ****-**** has another party a load of ‘other‘ chavs turn up and gatecrash, after all, they all look the same, dressed in Burberry caps and all – (“It’s OK, Wayne said it would be alright to join in.”) – Then MAYBE, if these other Chavs were to either accidentlly break the stereo, or better still steal the whole kit. OR even bust the place up real bad, in which case the landlord might not really want chavs living in his property, regardless of contract.
Alternatively, don’t waste the little problem your kitty was having the other day. Smear just a little on the back of the door handle of ****-***** front door each night while he’s at work -(use a cloth or kitchen roll, so as not to get it on your hand.) – Don’t put on too much, that he’ll notice – (Big dollops don’t go un-noticed), just a good tackiness should suffice. With any luck he’ll end up with a dicky tummy, then suffer with another dicky tummy a while later, and all the time he’s feeling unwell, chances are he won’t want his noisy friends round until he’s feeling better…. He’ll just want to lie in bed, quietly feeling sorry for himself. He might even end up losing his job if he has too much time off sick, THEN won’t be able to pay his rent….. Problem solved.
Although I know several neighbours who think he’s a dick, it’s only because he’s pissing me off. The noise only travels one way… into my place.
As for getting rid of him, he’s on a 12-month lease and the guy who owns the property says he “can’t” get rid of him due to the contract. I’m believing this to be “won’t” get rid of him because he’d lose money, the selfish, greedy ****. Sorry, Dean, if you read this – but I don’t for one second believe you can’t eject someone who’s breached the tenancy agreement.
And I’m not paying money to soundproof my home. None of my other neighbours have had to do it, why should I?
Damn, was about to suggest that.
You can’t sound-proof your house, perchance?
You’ll probably just have to keep plugging away at the legal system. But they can get rid of him eventually. Perhaps you should draw up a petition of fellow neighbours who are equally pissed off? A neighbourhood association carries more clout than a single-person household…
Sadly, using my own equipment wouldn’t stand up in court as it’s not calibrated or tamper-proof. I have queried this.
As for leaving my stereo on, that’s just cause for him to say “he started it”, or indeed have the police kick my door in and remove my stuff.
Like you said, the law is an ass. Everything seems to be in his favour. It just seems like a complete no-win situation for me and I’ve had enough. Looking at every single option, I can’t see a single legal way of ending this bloody fiasco. It’s ******* ridiculous.
Understand, have told you before the law is an ass everytime we have had to ask for their assistance seems all they can do is quote and just sip coffee…
Thing is.. with THEIR equipment they have to tell the gyu next door about the usage.. but if you were to find someone who would be kind enough to help you out with equipment and obviously notify the police and council that your doing it.. then use it as a diary.. it’ll give you so much more to go on… as it is a ‘diary’. Recording of events to show that you aint bullshitting..
It does seem like a never ending circle of shitty destruction right now…
You say he works nights?? Maybe sink to his level by ‘forgetting’ to turn your stereo off while you go to work one day.. accidently give him a taste of REAL music :D:D Just an idea….
