Hi everyone. I apologise for not coming here very often, but I would like to know if someone can share opinions on a problem I am currently experiencing.
I am in my fifties, I'm originally from Italy but I'm been living in Scotland. I've been working from home for several years because of my problem talking/relating to colleagues. I was diagnosed in my forties and I've never received any real help for my problems regarding socialising.
Since I spend a lot of time at home, I grew plants in my backyard and I feed birds as a hobby. I'm not a crazy bird-lady. I have a degree in veterinary medicine and I feed birds responsibly. All my neighbours have the typical yards with lawn that gets regularly mowed every two-three weeks and they think that my backyard is a disgrace. One of the family who lives next to me has a special hatred for the birds (there are a few pigeons, but the neighbours hate anything that flies and chirps). They reported me to the council a few times, but the council has never found anything wrong with what I'm doing. I tried the mediation service in the past but with no results.
Since April, the son (in his twenties) has begun working from home and he is determined to scare the birds away from my property, making noises when he hears them. He and his parents are also becoming progressively aggressive towards me, and they have started calling me names. I have reported them to the police twice and the police only recorded my complaint.
I live most of the time on my own and my neighbours know very well that I am isolated and shy.
If someone has been in a similar situation and has advices for me, I would like to hear them. Apologies for the long post.
I like silence myself. If it is up to me that is what is happening.
But it was not always like that. I lived on a street close to seafront in an area busy at night so to say :P
When people stopped eventually 3pm, seaguls were picking up 4pm, i managed.
What is wrong with them? Did they forget school times are long gone in the past and it's time to grow up, and stop being a bully?
and what's with the boy? is he a mama-boy to do what mama tells him? or is he a bully himself?
associate with well built men.
it should work if you find them.
I'm polish, we love home or garden dinner parties with a lot of food and drinking,. the louder the better, there is always many bulky types in any polish group anywhere. So next time you go shopping and there is a shop assistant you find polite enough, invite him with his friends for a party, mentioning you would like to see big boys LOL
Really funny! The handyman who does repairs in my house is Polish. He's in his fifties, but his son in law is definitely a big, tough-looking man. I should definitely invite them and their families!
The son of my neighbours is definitely the apple of his mother's eyes. I hoped that, being a young man with a job, he would move out soon, but now I believe that he'd never leave his parents' house.
