Neighbours that can trigger

[Deleted member 44579]

Hi all.. I guess I'm looking for some advice as I'm not sure what to do.... I live in quite a. New build blocks of flats.. We are communal balconys all the way along so we can get into our front doors.

Ive only lived here a year or so... Anyway my next door neighbour banged loudly on my wall on night as my canvas fell of the wall.. So I put it back up. He didn't like this.. So his banging was loud I banged on his door and Said what....?

This prick was drunk and just started shouting at me... So I walked away back into my flat... I didn't know he was right behind me and was just about to walk into my flat. I tried to shut my door... But he put his foot in the way... So I kicked him and shut my door. I reported him to housing a association and police and I could have got him charged but decided not too.....

His friend lives 2 doors down and is an alcoholic... A few weeks later I was walking to my door and he was coming the other way. I tutted at him and he went mental.. After I said are u drunk?.. I managed to get myself into my house but he banged and kicked my door went crazy...

So again police called... Housing association did nothing. Police told him off as he constantly phones them wand wastes police time

So I have to often walk past these pricks.. As they like to stand on the communal balcony and drink... My problem is I don't feel comfortable where I live.. I really like my flat... And I was homeless before I got this place... But I don't know if I'm just overreacting... It's been quite a few months.. And I just ignore them and vice versa..... I share my living room with one of them but honestly he has been quite as he doesn't have any friends... Which is a positive for me.

What would you do?.... Stay or move?

Don't worry I did get my revenge....... But I'm not telling.... But it felt great.



Thankyou

*I share my living room wall....... With one of them...... Hopes this makes more sense

Hi all maybe I'm just being too sensitive because of my PTSD.... I don't know really.... What would you do?

You say he has no friends, and that he has been qiiet since then, (if I read that correctly) maybe going to have a proper talk with him, explaining you’re previous homelessness. He might have a problem with alcohol, that brings out his “bad side”

You never know, he might respond to you’re friendly approach, ......It’s worth a try, and could improve you’re situation.

As maybe what happened triggered off you’re natural, “must defend my home” mechanism, after all, they say here in the UK, that our “home is our castle” and we must defend our home. Good luck, keep in touch.
