Grrr!
I hate having neighbours - you'd think that since their baby wakes me up with its screaming before 06:00 most days that they wouldn't have the audacity to come round here complaining about me using a circular saw in the loft at 07:00 on a Saturday...

next time, if you see them coming
spill lots of runny ketchup all over you, and answer the door holding a very ketchupy chefs knife and a manic grin.

That'll learn 'em.

Good plan :-)

I thought so.
am lucky. I have no neighbours within earshot of my house. :D

I shouldn't complain really, - the terrace the other side of me has been empty since I moved in a year ago, I'm sure I'll have lots more to complain about once the landlord lets it out to a posse of students and/or shouty foreign shift workers at some point in the future.

Go around there an give their baby something to cry about.

Their baby already seems to have plenty to cry about...I might crawl through into their loft space with my circular saw and cut out "ceiling cat" style holes in the ceiling of each room...

I think you may be in the wrong here
And you clearly have very thin walls or their baby is stupidly loud. But still, it's a baby. Not a saw.

Go out and buy BOOZE
You know you'll fancy some tonight

I have lots of booze
I'm just not drinking it. *willpower*
(I helped save b3ta! Pickle Fairy is clumsily dancing away this fear, Sat 9 May 2009, 7:54, archived)

I'd rather get woken up by a saw at 07:00 once in a blue moon than by a screaming baby at 05:30 most days... Though I do appreciate we have thin walls, which is why I dont march round to complain about their noise every time I get woken up.

How can you complain about a baby crying?
What are they supposed to do, switch it off?

I know the baby can't help crying, but they could probably have chosen until they could live in more appropriate housing before deciding to start a family, or could put the baby in the bedroom on the end of the terrace rather than right next to my bedroom.

Good grief.

or maybe you could admit that you did the wrong thing and move on with your life

How on earth do you expect me to enjoy my weekend if I haven't spent a good 2 hours bitching about something that was probably my fault to strangers on the internet?
(I helped save b3ta! C, Sat 9 May 2009, 8:17, archived)
Well, I'm sure they feel the same
But there's not much you can do about a screaming baby. You on the other hand deliberately used your saw at a stupid time in the morning.

Whisky.
That'll stop a screaming baby
(I helped save b3ta! Mykeyboy A massive, salty filing cabinet, Sat 9 May 2009, 8:09, archived)
Maybe their baby actually slept through for the first time EVER
yet you woke it up, therefore making a rod for your own back for the next two years.

Anyway, fuck em and the results of their most likely regretted ,fetid, drunken fumblings
If they cant keep their mewling spawn quiet, why should you be?

Its not an unreasonable time or anything

Bless. You really are bored aren't you?

(I helped save b3ta! Wicca'd Witch needs ideas for a new sig on..., Sat 9 May 2009, 8:09, archived)
Why the hell did you think it would be a good idea to use the circular saw at 7 in the morning on a saturday, one of the only days a hard working person gets to sleep in?

(I helped save b3ta! gronkpan, Sat 9 May 2009, 8:09, archived)

I suddenly realised that a man was coming to service the boiler in my loft at 08:00, but that he wouldn't do the work unless there was a safe, fixed floor for him to stand on whilst doing so. Therefore I wanted to cut a piece of floor and fix it in position before he got here.

You're a terrible person for this
I mean waking up a sleeping child simply so that a man can do his job safely?

Worse than Hitler.

Don't mention the war!
I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it!
