if you heard your neighbours having a heated argument, would you turn the TV down so you could listen?

Answer 1

Heck YEAH!! We get some awesome scally arguments in the street here, they're very entertaining. Not dissimilar to a Trisha roadshow...

Answer 2

Ooooh yes!! I live on a hotel street (it's literally just lined with hotels)- and with that comes prostitutes. The arguments get sooo heated. It's just like an outrageous x-rated soap!!- very interesting. I watched the champions league game in silence the other night cos of a particularly dirty quarrel between a threesome of what seemed to be an angry wife against her hubby and a prostitute. I tell you... this stuff belongs on tv.

Answer 3

Humans are intrinsically inquistive. Of course we would turn the TV down to have a listen, possible even put a glass tumbler to the wall to get a better reception. What is even more intriguing is, how many people would get involved to help the situation if it got out of hand.

Answer 4

yes, we do it anyway.
we live next door to a mother and daughter and grand daughter the grand daughter is 21 so you can work out the ages of the other 2.
they walk round like they are better than the rest of us and have actually said they never argue,
they must of forgotten about the police hammering their door down a couple of years ago due to one hell of an argument. !!!
always great entertainment though !

Answer 5

Too right , probably better than the tv these days ! I would take it to the next level and go get a tumbler/glass to listen against the wall !!!!!

Answer 6

Happened to me once. I got out to find him beating his wife up to a pulp. I went back in the house and got a big whip I had bought in South Africa. I whipped him really hard a few times. HE suddenly stopped what he was doing and turn on me. I suppose he had never been challenged by a woman before. I kept whipping, then he turned and I thought he was going to run so I whipped more. He ran as far as he could then got cornered. The neighbours were out by then and cheering me. I carried on.
He picked up an axe which he had been using to chop firewood and kept running away with it screaming at me but running. He had also left his wife. She got up and got one of the thin firewood logs and started chasing me with it for whipping her husband who would have killed her.
I turned on her as well and whipped her really hard and she went and shut hersel in the house.
He then threatened to chop my head off biuut by then other men had arrived and restrained him. He still has whip marks on him

His wife was crazy. She deserved a good beating from him. I should have left them to fight and her to end up in hospital like she always did.

Answer 7

Yes, if it sounds abusive. I live down stairs and the people up
stairs are loud. So you can hear everything that is going on.
They are so loud they take their argument out side so everyone
else can hear. So no need to turn your tv low. We have front roll
seats. GOT POPCORN?

Answer 8

i listen to it because they sometimes turn nasty and they have children next door, if i hear the children screaming then i call the police, as hes attacted her violently before and the children... otherwise its an invasion of privacy to listen to...
if i hear banging on the wall and screaming i dont hesitate to call the police as this has saved her life on many occasions...

so in a sense yes, i do lower the volume, but not to be nosey...x

Answer 9

lol yes we've done that! when i use to live with my mum our neighbour was always arguing with his son and it wasn't subtle or pretty! sometimes it spilled out into the street late at night, in fact one night another neighbour hung out the window and yelled at them!
