Even in the 'burbs, the walls have ears if you're loud enough

Okay, so the current couple renting the house next door aren't quite the ferals (for one thing they don't have kids), but Horus and Osiris when the husband (boyfriend?) gets mad he gets loud. He was screaming all his partner all day long. I almost never heard her voice, but all day I heard him shouting at her to "leave me the fuck alone," over and over, with intermittent slamming of doors (or stuff being thrown). It was unpleasant.

Why couldn't have been more like this couple. At least that would have been more entertaining.

So I gather these weren't your neighbors?

No, sadly. I just read about that yesterday; I intend to post about it soon.

My but that Australian couple looks smug. I suppose I would be too. I'm sorry to hear about your neighbors though. That sounds decidedly unpleasant. I hope they don't force you into a position where you have to call the cops or something.

British, not Australian. It's just that Elf linked to a report in an Australian newspaper.

Smug is definitely the word. And good-looking too. Must be all that healthy exercise.

Reading comprehension - who needs it? But yes, they do seem to get a lot of exercise.

I've got to wonder about the case of the British couple; was it that they were too loud -- or were the neighbours light (and grumpy) sleepers? ;) (Incidentally, it looks like the first link is friends-only.)

That's not the first time either. A few weeks ago they were both shouting at each other, and she told him to leave and never come back. Obviously, they worked something out.

Obviously, it was temporary.
