Default Have I just become the neighbourhood crazyman?

Some kids decided they would play knock and run at my house tonight. Once doesn't bother me, twice I find a bit annoying. They were hiding round the corner and giggling away, thinking I didn't know it was them or where they were so I took out my new and very shiny Wilkinson Sword Pruning Saw:



I simply went where they could see me, conspicuously lopped 2 of the larger branches from my trees overhanging the footpath while staring at them until they obviously started to get a bit uncomfortable and legged it

Do you think they'll be back?

You just need to get an old rocking chair, sit out on the lawn and sharpen the knife...

Pruning saw, own property, cutting a tree down. No problem.

Blowing a snot bubble while sawing like a fiddlers elbow may also help the "they've just let me out today" image!

Haha, thats classic!

I think you were right in giving them a message. I remember when I was young(maybe 10-11)and I started knocking on doors, which soon progressed into letting car tyres down and then into filling containers with petrol and setting them alight outside houses . And that wasnt even part of some chavy gang...it was just me and a friend getting creative. lol

Cut down more branches, then go inside and start window licking whilst they come up to the door and knock on it. You'll be seen as a right proper nutbar then and they'll leave you well alone.

Dig a pit in front of your door and cover it with the branches you cut down

Get a nice small chainsaw, one that you can hold in one hand.

Stand in your garden, bare chested and swing the chainsaw around whilst laughing like a drain.

Then you are the new Neighbourhood Crazyman

On time, years ago:

Kids playing outside my house and making a nuisance - bouncing the football off my car and when I went out and shouted the next one bounced off the front door.

Went out again and they all pegged it...

A few minutes later I looked out and they were back and they saw me looking and ran off... only this time I saw where they went. Down the passage that ran round to my back garden and hid (I was in a mid terrace at the time) So I went out through the garden and snuck up the passage right behind one of them....

leaned in close....

and went...

ever sooooo soft......


Boo.


Talk about a bloody stuck pig. Little ****** almost unloaded in his trousers.

I was absolutely pissing myself with laughter as all his mates utterly terrified by this immobilised porcine squeal let out similar baby piglet squeals and bolted.

It took me ages to calm enough to be able to breathe properly after that.

and they never came back

had a similar problem a couple of years back. Local ******* had been annoying me to the point that I had decided to move, our house was sold and new house was nearing completion. Ball hit front window.... I ignored it.... probably accidental.... ball hit front window again..... I ignored it..... they are just kids.... ball hit front window again (we are talking 1.30 AM on a Saturday night for this)... lost the plot. All the ******* lived in the two houses either side of us, so I went out, confiscated the ball and started booting it off the windows of their own houses. One of the Dads came out, asked me what was up and kicked both his ******* into bed. Other Dad came out and told me to give them a break as they are just kids. Lost plot * 10....... got the big sledge hammer out and spent the next 3 hours destroying their front path screaming "Come out and I will give you a break" - He called the police (totally expectedly) but strangely, when they arrived I was asleep in bed...... 4 times (You can see blue lights from miles away..... )

reminds me about when i was a kid, we evolved this game into "the penny trick"

find a suitable subject, typical old woman with her eyes going a bit,we chose "Naggy Aggy"

have around 6" of thread taped to a coin, then have a full bobbin of thread attached to the coin, the 6" length is drawing pinned to naggys front door, so the coin can tap on the door or window, then run across the road to the bushes/trees/whatever you want to hide behind

then simply tap and knock your way to entertainment bliss

it was so awesome, she would open the door (remember to leave some slack on the thread) look around and close it again, tap tap tap

we only got discovered because we got far to cocky, as soon as she closed the door we were tapping again, in the end she was not even closing the door properly and "spying" out the crack i the door PMSL

then she saw the penny move

stated following the thread pmsl

man overboard
