righto. my turn for a rant.
we are trying to sell our house. nothing wrong with it, we have just outgrown it. we made the decision only about 6 weeks ago to go through this process. 4 weeks of busting our arse, decluttering (90% of everything we own is now in storage) painted the whole house, fixed all the little things that deteriorate over the 11 years we have been there, redid the front garden. basically doing all the sensible things so the house can be presented in the best possible light.
we are honestly in a pretty quiet street. neighbours will wave hi but we all keep pretty much to ourselves, never any trouble etc..... until yesterday, when we are trying to have an open inspection.... guy on the other side of the street and a few houses down decides to do his koala impression at the top of a tree in his backyard. not exagerating in the slightest.
i put a brave face on, its only early (i spotted him at 11am, apparently he had been there since 9) he has plenty of time to get down. and hes being quiet anyway, just eating a few leaves, curling up for naps. all koala like. lets just ignore him, it will be fine. my main concern was did he realise he was in a pepper tree and koalas eat eucalyptus?
well, as luck would have it he woke up during the open didnt he. decided to start shouting abuse at people in the street, ranting about the police helicopter, generally being a ****. after the open finishes police and emergency services show up. 1 ses truck, 2 ambulances, 3 fire trucks and some mfs van thing, and about 6 or so police cars all at once in our little street. took them till 8.30pm before they got him our of the frigging tree. would have been much quicker if they just tased him till he fell, would have been a lot more entertaining too.
so now we have to try to sell the house with basically neighbours from hell. and there is absolutely nothing i can do about it. as if this shit wasnt hard enough as it is...
