Why did I answer the door?!!

Dave's witness sounds much better.

Jehovah is gay.

Why do some people find it so hard to just shut the door or hang up the phone?

I notice far too many people feel they need to stay with it until a natural end to a conversation can be found in these instances.  If you shut the door they can't talk to you.

[Ralphy]

You've become very diplomatic Rob

I think I would have laughed more than I did typing up your application to marry Jodie Marsh, Ralph.

I don't think Ralph's seen my post on L&P. Bless  

[Ralphy]

No i haven't.

Cunt.

That organisation started up a branch for the visually impaired. They were called "Jehovah's"

Because they are not ignorant wankers? I hate when people call me and when they realise they have the wrong number just hang up, at least have the common courtesy to apologise for wasting my time!

That's the other way around though, I tend not to hang-up on people if I made the call.  This is about unsolicited calls to you. "Not interested, good bye" is as much as they get from me.

I agree with you, just hanging up or slamming the door without any words is a bit harsh I think. At least if you tell them you aren't interested in them wasting your time, and indeed theirs is better than just a door slamming in their face!

Actually, whilst thinking about this, we have a pain in the arse neighbour in the block next to us. He is in his 50's and as far as I am aware lives with his mother.

When we moved in last August, the neighbours downstairs (A lovely couple from Denmark) warned us about this maniac who has given them nothing but grief since they moved in. After about 2 months or so, we got a 2 page letter from the 'maniac' who had seemingly monitered the situation and advised us that it was against the rules to make any loud noise before 7am and after 10pm which was fair enough, however in this letter he told us that we were not allowed to have any windows upen between these hours or run any water in our apartment as our pipes bang when we run any water. I went to the Police about this and they said he was talking horse shit about the water so I ignored the letter.

When I had my stuff shipped over from the UK, the removal lorry stopped outside his drive at 6.30am and he came running out shouting and bawling that the lorry couldn't stop there and he was going to phone the police (apparently the police regard this man as a nuisance and ignore him). They were there for 10 minutes and he doesn't even have a car as far as I can tell.

Just this week, he was at my door in his slippers as our windows were wide open (it was about 25 degrees) and it was 'twenty three hundred hours'. I apologised about the windows and said I would shut them. He went on about the fact he was fed up being kept awake by noise at 2 and 3 in the morning (total and utter shite, we haven't even had so much as a party in the apartment this year) and he was going to contact our landlord (he has threatened this before and we've not heard anything from our landlord, bet she thinks he is a cunt as well). I bade him a goodnight and shut the door in his face whilst he was going on about something or other. There is no way he has anything on us at all, our neighbours downstairs have verified that we are no problem and they are attached to us, this guy isn't!!

So, what now for our pain in the arse neighbour? I deliberately made sure I made as much noise as possible in closing the windows and have turned the TV up an extra few notches. I am really tempted to make the cunts life a misery, any suggestions on how I should treat this man?

[Simon Pieman]

Keep a diary of any incident that happens. What he says you've done, your side of the story and what you did to rectify the issue (e.g. closing the windows).

Don't piss him off on purpose - only gives him ammo to kick you out.

When you have a substantial amount of stuff written down you can produce it when he next rants at you to show you have been nothing but considerate and have gone out of your way to be helpful. Then say if he continously kicks up a fuss you will produce your diary to the police/landlady as evidence of harrassment. Hopefully that will shut him up.
