Bit of a odd situation i have...

Subtle Troll

Exactly.

Not only a neighbour, but an elderly woman on her own. And all the OP is saying is "this isn't worth my precious time".

Do you not have elderly relations? Would you like it if someone behaved like this to yours?

These people obsessed with themselves and their work are insufferable.

Your high horse is so high that you are no longer constrained by the force of gravity.

My guess is its a spoof. Nobody can really be that heartless / dumb to write on boards before going to the police.

It just took off faster than expected. Some great lines though so thumbs up for the OP for starting this great thread and also thumbs down to the OP for the huge fail, be it true or false.

Ok i rang the doorbell-no one picked up.

So i told the guards the situation -i also gave her name and address so that they could try to contact her relatives/friends.

To be quite frank i barely know the woman-i just happen to live near her.

And if something bad has happened im not getting further involved. This really dosent concern me. Community is dead in this country (no pun intended).

End/thread

thats all you needed to do.... see community is not dead

well done.

Wow OP, real heart of gold you've got there... community may well be dead already but it appears humanity ain't far behind it in your case, it's a poor old woman who's possibly lying stone cold dead ffs.
If I lived to be proper old and lived next door to someone like you I'd make it my mission to die on your doorstep and force it to be of your concern...if I could be bothered that is, I might just get lots and lots of cats and let them roam free outside your house all the time just to annoy you.

This is the last time i give a dam about anyone else. Its too much trouble it is.

Why o why are you so narky??? Whats your problem?

In your first post, you said she is an old biddy, Why??? What did she do? Tell you to turn down the music or something along those lines?

I cant believe you said it is too much trouble to give a dam about anyone else.... You are sound.

I dont know if i want to get involved to be honest. Its time like these i wish i had my own estate to live in.

What am i going to say to them- hi can you please check if my neighbor is still alive...there going to think im taking the piss ffs.

Im sure someone will visit her house soon i hope. Then ill know i guess.

She's 97 and on her own. I'm sure the guards are used of this sort of thing and think you're just being a good neighbour.

As will she if she's merely decided to stay indoors and listen to Leonard Cohen or Radiohead or somesuch.

Seriously, knock at her door, if no answer, go to the guards. No harm will be done.

If anyone has learned anything from this thread is keep an eye on your elderly neighbours especially weather they are old biddys or not its now coming into the winter and this is when elderly suffer most

I would like to think not everyone is as heartless as the OP My Grandmother lives alone now although she has family visiting her regularly Im sickened to think what would happen her if there wasn't

We should respect our elderly not start fcuking threads about old biddys lying dead and not doing anything about it because it puts you out

OP you sicken me you need to grow up and live in the real world

No wonder community spirit is dying in this country. Great example of the cause of it above.

SadieSue

This is going to end like that thread about the mysterious couch.
We're never going to find out what happened!!

thebigleap

I must be world weary but I don't think the OP is that coldhearted...he was concerned enough to ask for advice on this board (so it took him a while to do it but still...), he took the advice given and called the guards, he sounds like a concerned citizen to me. Remember that story a few months ago of the man who died on the sidewalk in New York because people walking by ignored his obvious distress, now THAT's coldhearted.

I know he's cranky but I don't think he was expecting this much interest in the story! Anyway he did what he needed to do and apparently was the only one in his neighborhood who bothered, so some credit to him for that. I would love some follow up on this story too so I hope that if he finds out what happened, he'll let us know.

It's sad to think that, even if the old lady is in hospital, that she doesn't have anyone she can trust to pick up her mail (a calling card for the hard up burglars in the neighborhood).

Yup post 28 was the best, with the milk bottle and newspaper a close second.

No offence to that Lovely old lady who hopefully has just gone on a mid week bender.

I think the OP is acting very strange. Does nobody else feel he knows exactly in what condition the old doll is. This thread has a bad feel to it. Something sinister here I feel. Hope I'm wrong.

Auldloon

Had similar happen a few years ago and the poor ould girl had fallen, broken her hip and couldn't get up. She had lain in her own mess for several days before the police kicked the door in. She was alive but just about. We moved out soon after as the smell was just not going away.

Oh god yeah the hassle of going next door and ringing a bell before the effort of picking up a phone (150g maybe that’s a training session in itself) and having to dial a number. Did you have to lie down after this?

Peeeeete its time to press "shut down" and go outside. Its a 97 year old woman we've never met, dont be gettin your boxers in a knot.

She could be lying on her hall floor with a broken hip after falling down the stairs slowly starving to death.

On the other hand, you might suffer a minor embarressment if she's just gone on holidays or something, so carry on.:mad:

_feedback_

Holy shítballs OP - nobody is asking you to rescue the womans cat off the top of a 25 storey building. Just do the right thing! Would you like if your Mum / a friends Mum was in trouble and her neighbour couldn't be arsed doing something about it?

This saddens me

Shogun Puca

Think of the scenario; 97, living alone with no family. She falls over breaks a hip and is helpless on the floor, slowly ebbing away. All of a sudden you break in, find her and call an ambulance who take her to hospital and she makes a full recovery. She is so grateful for you saving her life and as she has no family of her own she changes her will and leaves everything to you. Restoring her faith in mankind.

.... oh no wait, you weren't arsed and she died alone on the floor in a pool of her own filth. Nice one!

My gran is actually 96 and lives alone; I'm just so glad I know her neighbours and know they always look out for her, bring her to mass, etc.

OP - Worst. Neighbour. Ever.

OP doesn't have a neighbor




after all he lives under a bridge !

OP killed the woman in a crime of passion and is now clearly trying to cover their tracks.

that's a great attitude to have, especially to an elderly person. Do you not have any elderly relatives?? Parent? Grandparent?.. would you like their neighbours to have the same attitude?

I can think of lots of words to describe you (none of them compliments!!), but I'd probably get banned.

and in case anybody didn't know.....this is Age Action week.

change your tag to "goodbye932"

So is she alive or not, OP? C'mon....after all this at least give us CLOSURE!

On the 23rd, at 01:20, the OP asks for advice on what to do. At 17:29 (most likely after coming home from work/college/etc, he updates the thread saying he called over, checked, and rang the Gardai about it.

And all the AH'ers call him cold hearted, saying he's the worst neighbour ever. Why? I have no idea. The only thing I can think of is a) the ones complaining have not read the entire thread, or b) they don't realise people actually work, and thus can't call over to her during the day...

There are so many things to choose from... To start with he had to ask a forum what he should do when he noticed his elderly neighbour wasn't doing her usual routine FOR TWO WEEKS. Do you really think he didnt know what to do, or do you think he didn't really want to get involved, after all who wants to get involved when a woman may be dead or dying?

Strange that you cant see any cold heartedness in the OP, maybe you should read all his posts. :rolleyes:

surely you would have concern for an elderly person, irrespective of whether you know them or not!!


and as Chonker says, he waited long enough.....then went on the forum!!!

So the OP called over and then contacted the police...then what happened?

Edit: Sorry I just can't spend a half an hour reading 8 pages of this thread on a Saturday.

We don't know. OP said he did not want to get involved with the situation and has not posted since then.

Should we have a poll on this? My moneys on she died of starvation.

Go the user options and change it to 40 posts per page. Then there'll only be 4 pages and you won't have to read half as much

The oddest part of this for me was that she was 93 and had a car:eek:

Maybe that's been pointed out already, but can't read the previous 5pages....just skipped to the end to see if the neighbour is still alive.

Just to warn you 911 works as well. Makes sense I suppose, given the amount of American media we have here. Did the exact same thing with 911 myself.

Pretty sure 911 works in most western countries due to the amount of American TV shows etc aired.

So, is the OP still alive?

Can we start a poll on this one, Questions being.
1. Who thinks the OP is a prize spanner, who might have been able to save some ones life.
2. Is a lying attention seeking spanner, who might have been able to save some ones life.
3. Is a cowardly spanner without a backbone, who might have been able to save some ones life.
4. The OP is an Atari Jaguar, meaning he is looser.

just an idea for a poll

Bets are, at 97 she either died of natural causes or fell down, broke her hip and has been slowly dying on the floor since. Either way, she's most likely dead. Or staying with some rellies.

OP, ever hear what happened?
