what would GD do?

I fitted a ring doorbell on Saturday. I’d been meaning to do it for ages, but only just got round to it. I fitted it Saturday, the neighbours next door had only moved in a few days earlier, so they might be thinking I’d fitted it because of them, which I genuinely didn’t, it’s for security as there’s been a big increase in burglaries round here lately.

They took a parcel in earlier for us as we were out. We didn’t realise they had it. The new owners brother came across to give it to us and he was with him drinking a can of fosters.

As soon as his brother had pressed the doorbell, this fella looked into the camera and gave the sign for someone that rhymes with tanker, he then muttered something inaudible to his bro as he walked away. They was both pleasant enough when I answered the door.

It’s bugged me though. We’ve introduced ourselves, been friendly and welcomed them, and they have been friendly back, but then this happens. Would you challenge them about it or could that make the situation worse. If they have a problem with us, why don’t they just tell us instead of making stupid rude gestures through the door?

Yeah, he’s quite young and was drinking with his bro after a long day refurbing the house. I’m just gonna put it down to one of those silly things young people do at times.

I’ll be annoyed if it happens again though.

You seriously think a burglar will avoid your property because you've got a camera on your doorbell?

No, but it might help me identify the **** or at least deter them.

Plus if it alerts me to movement, I’ll know I’m being burgled and can call the old bill.

Burglar would in all reality, never use the front door!

Well they certainly ain’t getting through the back door.

Even if they kick it in?

There’s 2 locked gates and two 4 point lock patio doors to get through. They’d be too knackered to do any burgling by the time they got in.

Only one thing for it.

Purchase a dozen mice, mixed sex. Put them in a packing box, with small air holes, together with a biscuit sprinkled with cocaine. Mark the parcel as being for you

Get a mate to act delivery guy and hand the package to them, pretending you're not in to collect. They'll take the trojan horse (mouse) package in. Soon, the horny mice will get ****** up on the coke and will chew their way out. His house will soon be overrun by coked up copulating rodents.

Now is the time for the real revenge. You creep up to his porch, ring the bell, and shake a massive onanist fist right in his face. You win, he is defeated.

Have you ever thought about seeking psychiatric help?

4 pages in and I can't believe nobody has suggested to move house.

OP, I'd move house.

You can't be living next to people like that. I mean come on, who drinks fosters!

I do, hence my username!

Well all’s well that ends well.

We bumped into him out the front tonight and asked him lightheartedly about it. Turns out he wasn’t making that sign at all. His brother had been plastering and had plaster all over his hands. When he pressed the button, he left a plaster mark on it, so he walked up and wiped it off with his sleeve in a motion that resembled the insulting sign. On review of the footage, I can clearly see that his brothers hands are caked in plaster, and he is indeed wiping it.

He said he actually had no problem with the camera and showed us on his phone that he and his wife liked the idea so much, they have ordered their own off amazon.

I really need to stop jumping to conclusions, I’ll end up getting my face kicked in one day.
