Just posted on my estate's Residents' Forum...

Can whomever is playing extremely loud 'rock music' turn it down? I'm at work across the river and can hear it. Thanks.

*replaces it with extremely loud two-tone*

Muuuuaaaahahaha!

Residents forum, sounds pretty cool, wish we had something like that

Not cool at all.

We have two...The public one (which is mainly 'who is in my parking space?! zomgz!!!!!' and 'im thinking of buying...is the parking as bad as this forum makes it look?') and a private one (which is mainly 'there are some ruffians on the children's swings...I phoned the police five minutes ago AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING!!!! I PAY MY TAXES FOR THIS??')

To give you an idea of the attitude of most of the residents, last week I had to go down to the entrance and sign for a delivery. I had just woken up so pulled some jeans and a t shirt on.

Walking back up the stairs, I passed a woman who looked at me sternly and said 'if you don't leave now, I am calling the police. we have had enough of your type hanging around here!'

She looked a bit put out when I showed her my keys and let her know I've been here for nearly two years.

Lol

Must be loud if they can hear it across the river!

I can whistle and a second or so later, I will hear the echo off the buildings on the other side of the river...its a wide, flat space...pretty good acoustically

So you play loud music and annoy your neighbours?

Nope.

You are obviously cooler than even you can possibly imagine.

I've made my views on 'cool' plainly evident in the past. It is not a concept I relate to.

Oh and you start a thread on here telling us how cool you are,

Don't recall doing that...

bet you wouldn't dare start one on the residents forum, those neighbourhood watch types can be pretty intimidating when they get together

I posted 'Its me. Is this more to your taste?'

For the record, I get on great with my neighbours

I have to admit, you've suprised me with a thread like this

Quality assumptions there.

Remember that to assume makes an ass out of you. Just you.

I had a really long reply written out but accidently hit back and lost it and I can't be Harris'd to type it out again.

The basic jist of it:

The guy knew it was me.
I'm good friends with the guy who posted it.
I posted on the forum in question 'Its me. Is this more to your taste?'
For the record, I get on great with my neighbours.
I made the thread to share something which amused me.
I don't do ulterior motives.
I broke no laws.
Nobody else has complained.

So really what you've done is post a deliberately cryptic thread, which is essentially here to none other than bait people into arguing with you for 'disrupting' people when really it's only your friend that 'complained'.

Not really, no.

When said people start looking down on you for banging your banging ch00ns out of the window, you suddenly add information which makes everything look fine and dandy and makes the person who questioned you look like they're merely assuming.

Nope - information left out for brevity. The situation amused me but spending twenty minutes detailing the intricate nuances would be pointless. Further information added only after people made assumptions. If you care to look at the OP, it was the quotes around 'rock music' that tickled me, and the reason that I changed the genre.

p.s. use Firefox - not sure if other browsers have it as well, but if you accidently click Back after typing a reply, pressing Forwards again brings it back

I'm posting from my phone which doesn't accommodate such frivolities. If you go forward, it will let you go back and keep form info...vice versa, it just reloads the page. The back button is also directly above the W/@ key (Vario II) and I have big thumbs. Epic fail.
