I dont think spongebob is being that unreasonable.<br /> I can't even have a cr@p or a shower without hearing my neighbours incessantly shouting wife calling her cats / dogs / flying monkeys seemingly continuously.<br /> Kids and people make noise i accept that, but i do expect a bit of consideration from people. Its not too much to ask a child to be a bit quieter. </p> http://singletrackworld.com/forum/topic/rubbish-parenting#post-489531 Wed, 01 Jul 2009 12:30:41 +0000 coffeeking 489531@http://singletrackworld.com/forum/ <p><blockquote>The noise is just noise which goes with living in a communtiy tbh<br /> </blockquote></p> <p>Noise occasionally is fine, constant screaming or 8 hours of a football kicked against a wall isnt really on.
