Is it bad manners? Noisy (or nosey) neighbours? Crude dress? Expensive groceries? Rainy days? I know this isn't an overly positive toipc, but as is life, we're only human and sometimes things just tick us off...

I know the feeling when it comes to noise, drinking to access and argueing in the street after 3.a.m. in the morning. Lighting fireworks and throwing them in surrounding streets - they are illegal in SA. Climbing up and jumping up and down on their iron verandah and carport roofs - the noise - and probably damage - it is a rental property. Throwing and smashing bottles on the footpaths and roads - not just on one street either. Running around the block damaging letterboxes and taking peoples potplants (big ones) and tossing them in a reserve. The Police had a busy night keeping up with them that night. I didn't bother to call them, other neighbours must have because they apparently came 4 times. There were so many people there for the size of the property that the Police made some leave. Trouble was some of them came back. One driver waited until the Police had been gone for a few minutes then went hoon driving. The last time 4 police cars came and some were charged for various offences including cars in an adjoining street being broken into. They matched the fingerprints. I don't mind any body having a party if they don't get too drunk and disturb the neighbours and nearby street residents.
