Angry man sends note to neighbours as children continue to throw stuff into his garden

Angry man sends note to neighbours as children continue to throw stuff into his garden

He had simply had enough

So the saying goes, you can choose your friends but not your family... well, the same goes for your neighbours.

Most people, generally, try their best to keep relations on an even keel with the people living next door, careful to not rock the boat too much.

But sometimes, when they're really getting on your nerves, you just have to take things to the next level.

And by next level, I mean sending them a very stern letter explaining that their kids are being little s**ts.

This is precisely what Twitter user Peter - @javelinface - did when next door's offspring smashed their light.

In a post to his page, the irate neighbour explained the situation: "Neighbour’s kids keep throwing stuff over the fence. Balls. Toy cars. Shoes. Bottles. Rubbish. Keys.

Peter was not happy with his neighbours' kids.

"Today, they have throw a ball over and smashed our side light.

"I was pretty darn close to sending the ball back over with a knife sticking in it.

"Instead they get a note."

And his very to the point letter read thusly: "Hi, just letting you know that this ball - attached to the note - has smashed our side alley light bulb.

"If you could please let the kids know that this will be the last time we will be returning the ball, that would be appreciated.

"Thanks, Peter, from next door."

He then said that the parents of the kids involved got back to him and explained there were reasons behind their behaviour.

However, despite the reasons offered, he said he still wasn't happy with what was going on.

"The parents’ excuse is that their kid has just been diagnosed with ADHD," Peter wrote.

"I’d like to empathise, but I was extremely ADHD as a child, and still knew boundaries. By being ADHD myself, I am empathising less."

Peter did say, though, that he didn't want the issue to come between him and his neighbours, who he said he liked a lot.

"On the positive side, I think the neighbours realise how much their kids are annoying us," he added.

Since sharing the note, it's been viewed hundreds of times, with plenty of people backing Peter in the dispute.

One user said: "This is a much nicer note than I would have left that’s for sure. They also wouldn’t be getting any of their s**t back."

While another added: "Totally sympathise. Our neighbours kid constantly kicks his ball, sometimes two or three in our garden every day. We chuck it back and it's over again 10 mins later."

I guess if it continues, he could always move house.
