Kid on a trampoline!

Megahurtz400 · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:07

My nextdoor neighbours son, probably 17, is on their creaky old trampoline for literally around 4-6 hours a night, if not more :mad:

Was on it till nearly 2am last night, went outside and just had a word and he stopped which is fair, but recently it's just been annoying me as the creaking seems to have got worst.

My house isn't the quietest of households, me and dad both play guitar and music, but make sure all sounds levels are down to reasonable levels after 8pm.

I have no idea why i'm posting this, he's on it now and will be on it till at least 10pm, just bouncing straight up and down listening to his iPod.

:mad:

amazing stamina... even if its just to annoy you... amazing

Cover it in WD40 so it creaks less?

agnes · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:08

What is his reasoning behind it?

Presuming your not going to bed before 10. Seems reasonable that he stopped before so talk to him, although i dont see the problem unless its at absurd hours.

Give him a porn mag.
Though, ejaculating whilst trampolining might result in your window cleaner hating you...

chuck a dog turd on it tonight see if he gets the message

If you have a BB gun then have a few sly shots from your window. He'll soon scatter.

I feel for you. I'm a shift worker and very often after a night shift i will come back at 08.30 to find my neightbours kids on their trampoline, and i like to go to bed at around 09.30. It drives me mad.
During the summer they will also be on it most of the day and quite late as well.

Generally speaking they are an increidbly loud family as well. I have spoken to them and they have apologised and said that they would make an effort to stop when they know i'm on nights but it isn't quite that simple.

I think they must all have some kind of hearing problems as their normal conversation voices are what most people would consider to be shouting. I can hear practically everything they say(not that i want to)

/ my rant(or as close to a rant as i ever get anyway

EDIT- Oh and this-

Just turn the garden hose on him after 22:00.

Drake5 · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:13

I wouldn't care but being on it till 2 is a bit OTT. Have another word?

Coat the surface of the trampoline with butter. That'll teach him.

Hide under the trampoline with a hockey mask and an axe.

If that dosen't do it then nothing will, actually wanna try that for the lols.

Fix the trampoline cracking with some WD40 or something?

yhack · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:33

Shoot him.

Maccy · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:33

The hose is a good idea, have you got a sprinkler system? Set that to go on at 10pm and fire in his general direction!

Megahurtz400 · 3 Aug 2011 at 19:33

Yeah to be fair, get along well with the neighbours both sides

Just when i've got work the next morning and am shattered, its boiling hot to have the windows open, and there is this repetitive creak for hours on end.

Hopefully having a word last night would have got the message across, used to hang around with him when we were kids, and he was fine with it

Just in a bad mood so fancied ranting about something!

Put a spike pit under it in the dead of night.
