I punched the neighbors door number off!

[Fenster]

If all you have to worry about is them moving your number it's not so bad.

I knew a guy that got stabbed in the belly for asking noisy neighbours to stop blasting their music.

A few years back.. I badly busted the heel of my foot jumping on the floor after losing it big time at this unbelievably noisy chinese gang living below me. I also smashed two bottles of becks outside their door - then stood there shitting myself waiting to be macheteed to bits ... luckily I never heard from them again

I do get more bolshy here than I would back home and I worry sometimes that I might get a reaction that I can't deal with. Alright so far though.

The last neighbors I got scary with actually thought I might be carrying a gun. Of course, I'm not American and there are no guns here! I hope these neighbors have the same warped picture too. Probably not though.

And if they even so much as touch my door, I'll dice 'em!!

I feel for you mate. Inconsiderate neighbours

I'd play up the gun angle

(I'd like to make it clear the Chinese people that drove me mad were like 10 handed 20 somethings. Not a couple of pensioners )

I wish I had a gun, but like I said on that other thread. I wouldn't be too responsible with it!

They are chicken shit really, I just don't want them touching my door. But if they do, then I will know it's them and I will retaliate. I'm sure they will be more sensible than that.

Let's wait and see....

haha well played Miles!

I do think Korea must be like living in Lilliput for a six foot English male. You can afford to throw your weight around knowing they have to respect you becuase they are all barely 5ft tall and don't even have enough testosterone to grow facial hair let alone any muscle.

I say continue to play the tough guy, they are probably all a bunch of wimps over there, but for your own safety if/when you ever move back to the UK just remember its not like that over here. Nowadays you can shout at a 14 yr old hoody and tell him to pick the coke can up that he threw on the ground and a group of his mates will stab you to death.

As a youngster i had a horrible neighbor who used to shout and ball at me and my brother and friends as we were playing around outside my house.I think he just liked the attention!He was on our case all the time.So one night during the summer when i was about 8-9 year old i jumped over into his back garden.I had a huge fence to climb over first but i was soo determined i got over pretty swiftly.As i got over the fence and into his garden i headed over to his lovely madeshift pond and pissed into it.He really loved his priced fishes.I dont know how many fishes died but i remember him taking out some died fish a day or two afterward!!He was a akward git.Mind you i was a little bastard when i was kid.I took no crap from wind up merchant!!!

I'm no tough guy, but the stigma of the foreigner is strong so Koreans don't know how to react. Foreigners here are painted in the media as rapists, drug fiends and murderers. You get one banging on the door and you get scared! Always worked so far, thanks racist media!

But you are right, back home sounds horrible. I was always a quiet lad back home, and always remember being surrounded by street violence. I can't imagine it's got any better.

All the older rental houses in Australia have the fuse boxes outside on the side of the house and the fuses are removable.
Not many people think of it mate, but if someone takes no notice you rip all their fuses out and throw them away; end of party.

That's a good idea.

Not a peep out of them after my banging and shouting episode last night so maybe they got the message. Annoying really because the wife had asked them most civilly to please keep it down a little two nights in a row. The problem with Koreans is that apparently they don't understand that other people exist. I know that sounds strange but it's seemingly true. They recognise family and close friends only. Beyond that circle and they get lost. They feel no issues with parking in the middle of a crossing as the light turns green for pedestrians or making a racket that disturbs neighbors. My pet peeve is their inability to walk straight on a footpath. You should never get on a subway in Seoul! Chaos! I can give numerous other examples of this, personally I just think it's rudeness with a bit of ignorance thrown in.

So a Korean being polite and making a request is pretty useless here. You've got to snarl a bit and bang on the door. A sad state of affairs, and not what I wanted but there you go.
