On Monday morning, my housemates and I were brutally awoken by heavy bangs on our door. This was followed by plenty of cars honking their horns and women screaming their lungs out. Wanting to know exactly what was going on, I ran downstairs to look out of the living room window. What I saw, wasn't exactly pretty.
This girl in a tiny little dress and with only one strappy sandal one was throwing another girl against our door. Several times. Then she ran across the street which nearly got her killed (shame that) and throw another girl against a car, which got dented in the process. Not satisfied, she went for the hair of another girl and then headed back to our door and continued to kick against it.
Oh great. Finally the bouncers of the bar opposite, who had been observing the spectacle up till then, dragger her away kicking and screaming. The police drove past, looked like they were about to stop but then continued on their merry way.
I grabbed a jacket, my housemate grabbed her dressing gown and after having checked whether the screaming banshee was really gone, we opened our door. The bouncers saw a bit of damage control was in order and came to apologise. Too late really, our door which is rather sturdy was damaged by someone they had let into that wretched bar of theirs. What did our door ever do to her? Would she like if we would go and kick against her door in the middle of the night? And would it be possible to place electricity on the little fence next to our door and in front of our living room window?
The thing is, it was the first time I felt unsafe in my own home. What would have happpened if she really managed to kick our door down? I have lived there for three years now and it has never happened. We have a safe neighbourhood and never had any problems until that bar in our street started opening late and started attracting the wrong crowd.
Everyone has complained to the council and the police numerous times but to no avail. The owner of that bar owns another six or so bars in the area and the council thinks that probably outweighs all the problems. Yeah right, what exactly are we paying £155 in council tax for every month? I probably sound like one of those disgruntled OAP's who complain about the state of the youth today but I fear they might be right.....
And meanwhile that girl gets away with her actions....
Argh!

Yikes, that does sound scary. I hate it when neighbours argue. In a similar incident, except not involving a bar, but I suspect lots of drinks in the neighbours house. Around Christmas, after a massive row between to aruing couples, some girl came running out of her flat, then banged on my kitchen window as hard as she could, smashing it all and ran off. Luckily for us, despite being a council owned flat, tehy were able to send out a very nice and polite man to bored up the window. And they vanish as quitely as he arrived.
I can only guess how much it would of cost to have a man come out and board up an entire window, after mindnight during the Christmas holidays, had I owned the flat. Thats almost as scary as what happened.
