Although they're not breaking the law they do cause a disturbance and can be quite intimidating.

Whatever you do don't confront them or they might throw their walking sticks at you.

This is getting to be a major problem, and I'm glad I'm not the only one who's suffering as a result of it. Who do they think they are?! Just because they fought in the war doesn't mean I'm happy to have my street smelling of urine! Pensioners these days are not like the pensioners of my days. They've got it all too easy now, with their fancy catheters, colostomy bags, and other hi-tech stuff. Modern technology they call it. But I say these things have got Satan's fingerprints all over them. And the pensioners are doing his handiwork! You're right to be intimidated. Why is it that if they walk around with a wooden stick in their hands, the police ignore them, but I get arrested for carrying around a baseball bat with slight traces of blood? That's what fear can do!

Yep I've had the same problem in the past.
This is what I did. First I dressed my self up in a suit and old trilby. Then I grew a thin moustache, the type you see dodgy geezers sporting in the old movies.
On the day they spent most of their time outside my house (generally a Wednesday) I walked past them a few times while sucking on some 'Murray Mints'. By the time I was making my 5th pass I could see they were salivating quite freely.
I then spent the next 2 weeks getting them hooked. At this stage I put a sold sign outside my house and started to dress normally. when asked about the where abouts of their dealer I simply told them that he had moved to Skegness. Hay presto! they went looking for him and that was the last I ever saw of them.

This might actually be a good thing. Since they use this spot, if you are away from home, they are providing built in security for you. If they are loud, let them know they need to quiet down. Get to know them. They could turn out to be great friends. I lived in a bad area when I was a young newlywed. There were thugs who congregated outside. They made sure no one dumped trash in my yard. My car died one evening on me as I was pulling out of my driveway to go to the store. The guys pushed my car into the driveway and made sure I was okay. My mom came to visit and was sitting on the porch with me. A guy walked by cussing up a storm and saw us sitting there, he apologized to my mom and me and went on quietly. If you are a nice person and show others respect, not only will they be considerate of you. They will look our for you.

Tell them that your Aunty Kitty who lives in the next street, is having a "Bring your own bowl & bonk" night and that they're all invited. Then give them a house number on the next street that doesn't actually exist. They'll spend hours looking but at least your garden wall wont have their pile cream smeared over it as usual. Failing that, slap them all with ASBO's.

Pensioners and that too old pensioners have no work. It is their leisure time and gather to enjoy with old friends and chit chat. However they should not disturb others. Tell them politely to conduct themselves in a manner which does not disturb you. You will be doing a service to these old people. Remember someday you are also going to retire and become old

Are you being serious? Old pensioners intimidating? Can't you just let them be in the swan song of their lives? Hope that someone looks kindly on you should you live into old age.

Call the police and get them moved along as they are loitering with intent. If they keep coming back tell the police you fear for your and your familys safety and get them served with an ASBO.
I'm sure if the shoe was on the other foot you would have one by now.
Word of advice...
The ones on the zimmer frames aren't too bad. It's the ones on the 4 wheeled scooters that you really have to watch.
We had them doing wheelies and handbrake turns on our street. Sometimes they can be going as fast as 8mph - HOOLIGANS!!!

This is a tricky one,could be serious,watch, it might even be life threatening tell you what stop and think! What would you do when you are in their position will you be doing the same thing talking over old times etc. etc. etc. if not tell them to move their butts and get home to bed its late.otherwise leave them be. Ah well must get off this ladys wall so I will just shut my laptop before she comes out to me

Call the police and get them all on as ASBO, doing community service in a techno club as glass collectors with roller blades on!

Tell them that you don't mind their congregation but would they find another place as you have a sick aunt who is trying to recuperate from a serious ailment. Do look them in the eye and be brave and convincing when spinning this lie.
