I just can’t understand why do I always end up staying with a bunch of rowdy neighbours (or more accurately rowdy youngsters). For the past 20 months, I have seen four families moved in and out the house next to my flat.
The first family looked fine initially. However, when their son came back, things started to go awry. A couple of times the wayward son beat up the younger sisters and the poor girls have to run to our flat for help. One night, a bunch of thugs trailed this idiot home and smashed his car to the pulp. Shortly after this incident, the family moved and they left a junk car in front of our flat.
The original owner put up the house for sale and for months, there were no buyers. Then out of the blue, a young couple with their young daughter and a puppy moved in. They swore all times, smoked like crazy and tuned the stereo of their car loudly. Often they invite friends for party and make a din until wee hours in the morning. If they are bored, they will sneak out in the middle of the night carrying spray cans and starts tagging the property in the neighbourhood. When they go for outings, they left the little puppy locked up in the open-air balcony without food and shelter. The SPCA officials came several times to check them but they managed to get away without meeting the officials. One day, they just moved out abruptly.
Again, the original owner put the house on market and still can’t attract potential investors. Therefore, the owner rented the house to another young couple. The 3rd family are OK. Sure, they have parties every now and then but they managed to keep it toned down. Still you can hear all the laughing and the talking penetrating the walls. However, they didn’t stay long and moved out once the house is sold.
Finally, the current family moved in less than 1 week ago. I suppose they are the buyers of the new house. I can foresee this new family is another neighbour from hell as well because as I am writing this, the adults are not in the house and the rowdy teenagers are drinking heavily as well as yelling to the top of their lungs. You can literally hear the “Fuck” echoed throughout their loud slurred conversations (Actually, every second word that comes out from their foul mouth is the word “Fuck”). The best part of it is, some of their friends decided to “burn their tires” in front of the house, honked their cars loudly and racing their cars on the windy road in front of my flat.
Welcome to the realities of NZ life. This is the state of life for most youngsters in NZ nowadays. Instead of striving hard to achieve their dreams, all they do is binge drinking, creating a big din and act stupid. Gone are the days where you were taught about respect, hard work, responsibility, accountability and self-control. Sad but true, the family values in this country is deteriorating to the point of beyond control. Parents beware! If you want to raise you kids in NZ, I suggest you all think thrice before making such decision. Otherwise, your children might end up just like them...
