And do you condone that, do you not at least recognise that it is better not to give for the kids sake. I don't give the passive or the aggressive ones diddley and that includes the chuggers.

I do give to charity but just not to any of the above.

For me, it's a disgrace, that innocent kids (some of them not even 2-3 years old) have to play a part in that business...and it is a business in many cases, well organised indeed. I doubt, that all the money, those Roma women with their kids stays in their own pockets, that's why I won't give them a dime either.

I think we're into "permanent borrowing" territory here (a bit like one or two of my library books).:(

A member of the BAKA tribe? The timber mill is at full production, the forest is almost cleared, house nearing completion, so a good time to go home.

Jesus she must have been really desperate. This is a case of someone being really genuinely in dire straights, I hoped you helped her.

Cover your doorstep in micro machines, modify the doorbell so that it electrocutes users, ice up the driveway any cold night you get, if you have a cat flap or letterbox get yourself a staple gun and fire it at any unwanted visitors, place a heat source on the inside of the front door handle so that anyone who touches it from the outside gets horribly burned, tie a few lengths of rope onto some paint cans and swing them from the upstairs windows at any unwanted callers, tip glue and feathers onto her from upstairs if she come back into your garden, or just drop an iron on her from upstairs either... there's loads you can do to sort this problem.

thats a good idea for a film.

We had this problem with the neighbours across the road when I was a kid. They knocked in for all sorts of stuff, smokes, money, milk, food, they even started knocking in for cutlery and cups. I remember the last time it happened like it was yesterday.

One evening my dad was in from work and they knocked at the door looking for "spare forks and knives". Me dad just looked at her for a minute and asked her to repeat herself. She did like a goon and me dad just turned and lost it saying how we had "basically furnished and fed them over the last couple of years and to go fúck yourself. Get your husband out of the bookies and buy your own fúckin stuff with the money you'll save". They never knocked again and they never knocked at the other neighbours doors either because they were in our house at the time.

Many moons ago, when I was really small, every weekend there was a Fiver on the hall table in my granny's house, lodged under the some sort of paperweight. It disappeared on a Monday and appeared again on a Friday and was referred to as "The Floating Fiver". Years later I worked out that the neighbours across the hall had the beneficial use of that fiver whilst awaiting payday. My granny never provided eggs, milk, fags or the like but would offer the fiver, hence it had to be paid back prior to any further emergency request and if it wasn't, well they could hardly knock again now could they........;) Cheapest way of resolving the matter, without any bad feeling, even today!! My granny was cunning like a fox, but always a compassionate lady;)

Anyway this may seem simple but it's not! If you say no they get the hump and think that you think you are better than they are and then make your life a misery. I had this recently.

Bastards stole my oil. Long and short of it is, have them evicted it worked for me the social welfare classes were moved from the house beside mine and at the end of the day they are someone else's problem now!

Failing that get a gas fired sporting pistol and let fire when you see her around, won't harm her but she will **** herself which is always entertaining. If she is as you say of that "culture" she has an arse the size of a small country so watch her waddle up the road whilst squelching ****e between said cheeks of HUGE arse and it will be some form of payment for the misery she inflicted on you.

Or if you want to be a real wanker about it tell her you gave the penny when you were in school but you never expected them to send you your baby!!

Hey I've had the same problem as you we are also neighbours with people of a certain "etnic background " who are well known for their begging.Anyways when we first moved in all the other neighbours ignored them something i didn't agree with at the beginning i said hello was friendly enough and tried to be neighbourly ...I soon learnt my lesson ..
It started with sugar the coffee and other stuff.. then i was stop outside my home house and asked for money .Then they borrowed my wifes mobile to ring taxi and went she went back over to them they were talking in their native tongue so making a long distance call on her phone..I finally lost it last week when getting out of my car i was called over a asked if i have any batteries for remote control i ended up making a fool of myself and calling them every name under the sun now we ignore them like all the other neighbours.

Quick answer when they ask for something - "the shop has that many of them that they are selling them"...

The original poster really needs to wise up. They have no money for phone credit but still have the money to get italian take out. The line between being nice and silly seems pretty thin in this instance. :eek:

Let's get one thing straight here.
It's not just people who are employed who pay taxes in this country.
Everyone pays taxes in Ireland.
There are more taxes than income tax you know!
Another thing, the PS/civil service is rapidly becoming unaffordable to the rest of us.

Yes, fun being made of my dead partner was really what I deserved. Oil stolen was really what I deserved, paint thrown over my car was really what I deserved, lies told about me is really what I deserved, false complaints made against me is really what I deserved, my home violated is really what I deserved and let us not forget threatening to burn down said home was really well earned.

I was somewhat taking the proverbial here with some of what I said so to put it in more serious terms. When this happens it's pretty nasty, the example of my neighbours where I did give on a number of occasions (cigarettes, the use of my phones, internet, dishwasher tablets, food on a few occasions, and I would still give them food, I wouldn't see my worst enemy go hungry) they took and took and that was fine, to a point but when I asked nicely that I have access to my own home that I bought and paid for I got abused, threatened harassed and so on. One will only ever take so much. I might well be a bit hard faced but then I think most of us can only ever be pushed to a point before we snap.

All of that said I think the OP pointing to the nature of the persons cultural background is a bit out of line (hence the flip comment about the penny for the baby) I don't think it matters what the colour of your skin is or what your "cultural" background is, if you behave like scum then that's the beginning and end of the problem and if it is just a cultural thing then we need to accept that the world has shrunk and that we now live in a much more multi-cultural society where we are entitled to expect respect for our own cultures on the basis that we return the same respect for theirs.

None of that means that you should be taken advantage of but it is possible to say no without referring to "cultural" differences. It might not make a difference, they might well say it's because they are whatever they are but there you go that's life, man up.

I live in an urban area and never once have I had a neighbour at the door 'begging'.
This thread is as much an eye opener to me as you. Calling next door for cigarettes, groceries or phone credit is something I've never witnessed.

There actually seems to be a bit of an element of that in fairness. It may be recession linked, desperate people kind of forced into desperate acts? I was reading in the Accommodation forum about a man living in his van and just trying to keep body and soul together. Sad really.

When I got home from work yesterday I heard about a car being stolen from outside a neighbours house, they were having a kids party and the car was parked a little away from the house itself and this was in the middle of the day.

Since I moved in here last summer there have been 9 break ins (two of them at my house) countless attempted break ins and three of us have had our oil stolen. My sister and brother in law lived here while they were building their house and at that stage if a strange car moved in this estate everyone was talking about! Still despite all of this when people ask where I live and I tell them they always go "Oh lovely estate, fine big houses" and I would be standing there looking at them wondering have they looked around here recently?

Also I think begging is a slight exaggeration of the situation, she is not turning up looking for money etc she is just taking advantage of a kind nature. It dross feeding off others and an inherent sense of entitlement with no underlying tangible basis owing to a complete lack of interest in working to gain entitlement

It is not what you said, it is your attitude. Just because you own a house doesn't mean you can lord it over other people. They are human beings as well.

What's confusing about that? Mentioning where someone comes from before you berate them implies that that their bad behaviour is because of where they're from.

Right, the doorbell just rang for the 3rd time today. We ignored the 2 earlier ones but my partner answered this one suspecting she might have a new request.

And bingo!!

This time she was looking for a lift up town because she had run out of nappies for 'de child'. I'm not much of a shopper but I have no idea where she'll get nappies on a Sunday night. Anyway, my partner made an excuse and refused her.

Amazing how the requests keep coming just like the accusations of racism on this thread.

I didn't lord it over them. That is your perception. In order to lord it over someone you have to have some sort of contact with them, my refusal to engage with them on the most basic level, which I have previously stated, means that this wild and unrealistic accusation you make is totally unfounded

Most every shop is closed

And it's awful late to be calling around to neighbours
10am on the weekend is grand but 10pm? Some ****ing neck on this one

What's this boyfriend doing? If he's out and about he should be going to the shops. Sounds like a waster

10pm on a Sunday night. Why aren't they watching knuckle like the rest of us. Perhaps they were there when it really happened and don't need to see it again.
