ASBOs in our neighborhood?

[Florge]

I am totally ******. Some kids threw snowballs on our window.. thrice! If they were in the Philippines, they will definitely get a spanking from their parents.

I was sitting peacefully in the living room, watching TV when I heard a thud on my window. I looked out and I found three teenagers, probably 2 boys (hooded) and a girl (I am sure it was a girl as she wasn't covering her head). They were probably shocked to find that someone's in the house. I flashed a torch on them, the girl was probably telling them to stop, but one boy threw another snowball. They walked away and went to buy something at the corner store.

I went upstairs and called Simon. He said not to mind them and call this certain number to report, should they were really bothering me. Ha, I am a Filipina and I'm a fighter. I'll give those low-lives what they deserve.

I waited upstairs by the window coz I know they'll pass by again.. and they did. I readied my torch, wait for one kid to throw another snowball (same kid).. and when he did, I opened the window upstairs, put the torch on their faces and shouted: Go back to your house and don't go out. I just called the police and they are on their way. You'll get arrested tonight.. Run!.. and they did.. and I continued to shout: Run Run.. the police are here.. run... bwahahahahaha... can't wait for them to drop by again...

hehehe, you go girl

[pumpkins]

hahaha..thats so funny
i am glad we dont have so much kids here in the neighborhood..
well, we'll see in the summer

[maria_and_matt]

hmmm, harmless fun i think, you're lucky it was snowballs and not bricks

[KeithD]

To be honest they do it for a reaction, which they got, so they'll be back. Always best to ignore them, don't even go to the window, they soon get bored and annoy someone else. People can get victimised for years and it starts off by what you've just done.

Not sure if this is still the case 'Uman Rites lawyers might have stepped in but in some areas pictures of the germs given ASBO's are published

Don't think so.....

There ain't no snow, to make snowballs with, in the Philippines, as far as I know....

Similar experience..
My in-laws were knocking on our door when 3 teenagers pass and said to them, 'you won't hear anything from there,cos people living there came from the Caribbean..
Prejudiced?
They think we're uncivilized people. Sometimes, it's really annoying how people judged us, foreigners in this country..if not scammers, uneducated...
So sad, very sad...

my local council (salford) on a council estate near me, those who have asbo's have their mugs shots stuck on lamp posts, stating they are banned from that area,and if anyone sees them there to call the cops

Hi Florge what you've done maybe right but Im sorry to tell that Im also agree with Keith. I just hope they won't come back though.

Correct
Mount Apo is the highest mountain, at nearly 3,000 metres.
The temperature on the summit can fall to freezing but snow has never been recorded there or anywhere else in Philippines - fact

you need to thank dedworth not me for the links

but scouser keith is right, ignore the , they want a reaction from you, and if you react they'll do it again and again, unless they do any damaged just ignore them

true.. but there are kids who throw stones on roofs

good! the more people/community ignores them and keep mum about it, the more they'll think it's ok... so far, the kids were not back.. i do hope i scared them.. hehehe... they may be actually shocked that I speak english with an american accent

[Florge]

Well, that's what my husband told me.. ignore them... but then, ignoring it was not my way of dealing with it i guess.. ignoring them is giving them power ofer you... the whole community must stand up for it... our village in davao has a very strong community spirit and whenever we have problems like this, we don't ignore it and delay action... someone has to teach them a lesson somehow... nip the bud as they say... my husband reported the incident and have asked for regular patrols on our street.. so far, I have seen the coppers around more often than usual.

if no one reacted they probably wouldn't bother doing it again

throwing snowballs at someones windows and running away is probably something all brit kids have done

Hi Florge! Just forgive the kids and wish they will not comeback again.

I have been to a filipina house who's enemy is next door.
That was more annoying if your next door is banging oftentimes.

[Florge]

true Ate Pen.. just that the throwing of snowballs had happen not just once.. but it also happend last year.. and only in our house... why just our house is a good question.

so far so good.. they haven't come back..

[aromulus]

so far so good.. they haven't come back..

Maybe because there isn't any snow....

And the yellow stuff, is too mushy for snowballs...

Sorry for that Florge.
There are also some part here that residents are not nice if (foreign) got a council house. Although we live in a private village, asbos target is local stores. We live close to caravan site and I see different people walking around but they are harmless. What we have are bogus callers. I usually says: No understand no speak english.
Try make a post in your house. NEVER MIND THE DOG, BEWARE OF THE OWNERS! joke.

They probably just do their robbing, thieving and conning on vulnerable people in other places whilst travelling around doing block paving, tarmacing etc
