This is very 'its a problem until it happens to me' but having a few autistic kids in my family and general orbit has really made me appreciate that you never know what the situation is. Sometimes the kids can be little wankers created by their useless parents but sometimes the kid is having a sensory overload and its something the parents have to live with 24/7 but you only have to hear about while you finish your beer and a burger. Yeah, exactly that. Sometimes as a parent you just have to pick your battles. To others it might look like you don't care, but in reality, it's the 100th time that day that you've bollocked them and you just can't anymore and want to enjoy your tea/coffee/5 mins in the sun. I spent a lot of time fretting over how my eldest behaved in public, and even stopped going out for a few years. He finds it hard,so we stopped putting him in that position (and us) until he could handle it better. |

I was forever saying this to my mum when she would comment on some parent/kid screaming.
I'd remind her that her grandson could be a little twat (maybe not exact words) and no idea what the kid/parent is going through, so concentrate on your own.
She's much better now.

Aye there's nothing quite like having your own 'problem child/children' to appreciate what some shit others might be going through, I've certainly toned down my attitude towards others since having experienced our own shit.

When we moved into our last place, one of our neighbours apologised to us in advance in case their kids made too much noise.
We were a bit shocked, tbh.
Turns out our immediate neighbours (with whom we shared a party wall and who were miserable, hateful cunts upon whom I wish unending misery) had complained about them playing in the garden. Along with literally anything else anyone in the neighbourhood did, ever. Mowing a lawn? Complained. Parking on your own drive in the evening or driving off it in the morning? Complain.
I told the parent neighbour to let their kids be kids, that it wouldn't bother us. And it didn't.

When we moved into this place (a semi) after a little while we popped round to apologise to the attached neighbours for our very noisy kids and the horrific language/tantrums etc one of them exhibits, turns out the wife used to work with ADHD and similar troubled kids until quite recently so she had already guessed he was on the spectrum somewhere and to not worry which was a massive relief (though he's not been diagnosed yet). The husband is pretty chilled out too, I think they're relived because by all accounts the bloke who lived here before was a bit off with people, including us before we moved in.

Fireworks. Now. Why.
If they are doing this all of a sudden at 1 in the morning, I can only pray that the street party they are bound to have later in the week for the Kweens' Jubbly gets literally crashed by the local rag & bone man and his noise polluting flat-bed when he turns onto our road. I want to see folding tables go flying to the pre-recorded bellowing of "RAGBONEANYOLDIRONRAGBONE" through that cunts' loudspeaker.

So my plans for a quiet day in the garden have gone
8:50 am Hot tub pumps on, vocoder rap cranked up, something that doesn’t smell like Old Holborn wafting over the fence. Neighbour has obviously started his perfect day.
So I’m sat here, windows shut to keep the stink out, wondering what to do for the rest of the day.

Think I'm about to go out for a few hours with me angle grinder to get stuck into dismantling the metal monstrosity of a dog kennel the previous owners left behind.

You couldn’t make this shit up.
Next door finally went out and the relief was wonderful, five minutes later the arsehole in the next street starts one of his karaoke performances, serenading the whole estate with his slightly flat renditions.

He hasn’t stopped yet, so technically it hasn’t happened again yet.

You could probably get acquitted if you get video evidence of what prompted you to violently murder him. /edit X201... Jury is still out on KD. |

Why is it always violently murder, some of us do it lovingly.

Our street had a power cut. I know this because 1, the clock on my oven is flashing, and 2, several of the neighbours are shouting obscenities at the burglar alarm of one particular house that has been going off for nearly half an hour now.

He'd probably stuffed him in a cupboard.

Her downstairs has the boyfriend over every weekend. Which means I get to enjoy him shouting down the mic to his mates.
If the mic is close to your face mate you can talk normally, yeah?
I'm sure at some point she'll get fed up with him visiting just to spend the time online with other people. Rocket on the way; he just doesn't know it yet. I hope so, cos he's an absolute unit so I don't really want to say anything!!

I’ll just slam my teacup into it’s saucer and pop the ANC headphones on because there’s no way I’m saying that to his face.
