Aren't benefits great.
I live in a nice middle class street in Cov. Everyone in the street are either nice families, elderly, or single and middle aged. Except one of our neighbours. They obviously bought the house decades ago when property was cheap and now refuse to leave. They are one step up from Gypsies. They don't work because "he's got health problems". They live on benefits. To be fair they keep their house and gardens in good nick but do so with disturbing regularity. But they do provide me with hours of amusment because of their insane nature.

Basically they're the type that wait in their front room for us to either come out of our house or return from where ever we've been and then ambush us about any slight noise that may have been made during the course of the week.
They do the same before and after school so they can catch any children that dare to put a foot on their front lawn or loiter outside their house tieing their shoelaces.

The man of the house once tried to have a go at me for building my step daughters new bed over one weekend. He collared me on my way out to work on the monday morning and said he could hear me banging at the weekend. He also complained that he could hear the children playing. I'm never at my best in the morning and I'd had enough of him by this stage (I'd only lived there 6 months but my partner had lived there for 5 years and had had to put up with their crap) so I let him have it with both barrels. We haven't heard from them since. But we can see them watching

Apparently the people that lived there before us (a Middle aged couple) took lots of crap off them aswell. The nutters got the police out so many times for them daring to have the TV on at night that the police told the nutters that if they ever phoned them again that they'd do them for wasting police time.
