Asshole Neighbours
After 18 months of building last weekend I finally started and run the car for the first time. I spent about half an hour tinkering with the carb set
up. I had a few probs so obtained some new jets etc and had another go at the set up this morning. after running the car for about 5 mins it's
now running fine.
I then get a visit from the police as one of my neighbours had complained about noise nuisance!!!!!!!
What kind of world is it?? I have lived here for 15 years and my nieghbour couldn't even have the decency to come and chat to me about the
noise. Which if they had done I would have been able to tell them that I have finished and that could have been the end of it, but no, let's
waste time and money calling the police out. The officer that came wasn't even bothered anyway and just felt I should know that I have a moaning
neighbour!!!!!!
Anyway, what's it they say????........Revenge is a dish best served cold. Or is revenge a locost revving outside their window in the early
hours?????? Whatever......I will have my day.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.
Pair of breeding mice through the letterbox when on holiday usually does the trick.

Wouldn't it be awful if the aforementioned neighbour kept getting pizzas/kebabs/chinese etc food delivered at all hours of the night. And if
'they' happened to hire a skip. Hows about two tons of sand and a couple of hundred building blocks turning up early one morning/late in
the afternoon? etc, etc....

Get ALL your Junk Mail... and send it back with THEIR name and address in it. Easiest, and least traceable.
Pizza and Taxis, are fun, but messes the relavent companies about which isnt fair to them.
Wait till they go on holiday them push a Pint of prawns (not tinned... but fresh off the fish counter - even just the empty shells will do - enjoy
the prawns youself!) through the letter box on the first night they are away... 2 weeks later, and they will be MONTHS getting rid of the smell,
especially if its HOT weather. _ Dont get seen by the neighbours!
Good one that!. (Cheap and very smelly)
Sign them up on websites for sensible offers eg double glazing, loans etc. With their phone number.
HOWEVER.... REMEMBER that YOUR IP Address is more than likely logged by the website, so you could be traced... Do it from a Public website, ang give
them a false name and address, or a Internet Cafe, and pay CASH for the session, and ensure the security camera dont get a good view of you.
There are lost of very nasty things to do... Best is to do nothing... ie he cant wind you up... Tell him the police have been round and were more
interested in your car!!... wind him up... Be Subtle!! Much more fun, and less danger to you..
The nastier he gets... the nicer you be to him.. He Cannot beat that.

Wait til they go on holiday and then use your compressor to blow large amounts of cress seed through their post box.
Compliment by sticking the hose through the letter box and giving a good water.
One week later they come back to a cress carpet!

A kipper under the bonnet next to the heater intake works well too.
But Keith...please don't get arrested, you won't be able to enjot the car!

this just goes to show my theory on life that no matter how nice someone is to you or you think you get on etc etc#
dont trust anyone because theyd soon drop you in the poo if it suited them, believe me!
People only ever want you when they want something then they miraclously remember your telephone number even if your the nicest person ever..
BUT IF YOY BECOME THE BIGGEST ARROGANT TOSSER EVER WHO DOESNT GIVE TWO SHITS ABOUT ANYONE YOU WILL GET all the respect from everyone your phone rings
all the time etc
people love wankas simple..

I'm surprised the police came out, a noise issue would normally have to be investigated by environmental health. I think, like bonfires, you
have to do it repeatedly (more than once) to become a nuisance. Did the police indicate if you had committed an offence?
I'm with the mice brigade!

How about just going round there and being nice to them? I know that's maybe not the "cool" thing to do but you'll save
yourself one hell of a lot of hassle in the future. Just apologise (even though you maybe have nothing to apologise for) and it'll really throw
them. If you retaliate then expect the same in return. It'll turn nasty mark my words. I suspect they used the police because they are scared
of you. They can't deal with confrontation which is why if you go to them they'll be a s nice as pie.
Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.
Failing that set a powder fire extinguisher off through the letter box!

You need a Roses tin a spring and a smaller tin to fit inside the roses tin. Fill smaller tin with maggots, place spring into Roses tin, compress
spring with maggot tin and replace lid. They'll not like the surprise, the cleaning or the resutling infestation, but to be honest I don't
suppose anyone else will be bothered. Alternatively, you could frame them for conspiring to assasinate a political leader, but that's prolly a
little harsh IMHO.

Or.....
Expandable foam up his exhaust, superglue his car locks and / or windscreen wipers, rest nails against his tyres, one at the front and one at the rear
of the tyre, call crime stoppers and tell them he's a drug dealer, and....
last but not least, if he has a diesel car, this is the answer:
Try to get hold of a hyperdermic needle and inject red diesel through the filler rubber into his tank, by all accounts you don't need that much,
but a few vials would be good.
Put a small jack of red diesel in his garden and grass the twat up.
The above is all well and good but have you thought about giving him a clip ?

you don't need to remove the exhaust for any more fine tuning do you? That would show them how considerate you were in the first place

Thanks everyone for all your advice. I have a bit of a prob with a few of them tho.
First off, the sad buggers never go on holiday so that's the mice and the cress throught the letter box out of the question.
As for whether I committed an offence, no the police weren't bothered, in fact he was more interested in having a chat about the
build..............he even caught me having a quick test drive round the cul-de-sac and didn't say anything!!!!!!
I wouldn't mind but we are always considerate to our neighbours, and if anything they cause us loads of grief for no reason., including moaning
at my 75 year old mother whenever she visits, because she parks outside my house. I don't think they have anything better to do.
As for being afraid of me.............I really don't think so............I'm only 5'6" and even the cat isn't scared of
me!!!!!
Anyway, got to run it again tomorrow to check the fan comes on, I wonder how long it will be before Mr Plod turns up.

Tricky one. The more you do. The more he will get revenge. Until it turns really silly.
Best forget it or smack him.

I think the best thing to do to wind him up is to chat with Plod when/if he turns up again. Make sure you have a smile on your face (so the neighbour
can see) offer Plod a sit in the car and shake his hand when he leaves.
I'm sure the fact that he was friendly with you would wind the neighbour up more than a pint of prawns

Ask Mr Plod if he wants a quick ride up the close, and "accidentally" rev the engine outside your neighbour's house....

I started building my car in 2000 and right from the start my neighbour was ringing environmental health, local coucil, police (you name it) he would
even complain if I was locked in the garage doing the wiring!! Then it started to get nasty. He started throwing things over the fence, calling us
names and playing his music loud. It got to the point that even when I finished the car he still kept harrassing us. We got hold of the police
(couldn't do anything?) and we have been on to the environmental health noise polution for the last five years only to be told that they
couldn't do anything!! So where do we stand, we still get the music all day and night, the occassional banding noise from his house at 4 in the
morning, verbal abuse, hand gestures, the works.
What are you meant to do to keep these nutters away? play it by the book it gets you nowhere
Just wish I could win the lottery and move!
All the best

The best way to deal with that mate is to give him a friendly smack in the mouth. You cant be nice to ppl like this and playing them at there own
game will make it worse. Have a friendly word if that dont work slap the git. My neighbours arnt bad. One side keeps getting me bits for my car for
nowt and the other is interested and just wants a spin.

Much as smacking the git is satisfying... You will end up in court with an assault charge and a police record.
Cant you get them with environmental noise?
1. The point of a journey is not to arrive.
2. Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive anyway.
