Did i do anything wrong?

Hello there wise members of the H+R forum!
Just a situation i just went through now, and i just wanted to know if anyone felt id done anytrhing wrong, and what others would have done in my place.

Basically, i nipped to the car quickly to get something out of the glove box. On my way back in, i saw a firework, from next door, land on my garage cieling, and explode while on the garage.

I was therefore outraged, and went round their house, but asked in a really nice way to please be careful with the fireworks, as its just landed on the garage and exploded. I know you're probably thinking 'oh he went round there angry and had a go at them' but i didnt. My exact words were 'sorry guys, but a firework just came from your garden, landed on my garage. Could you please be careful in future?' - to which i was hit by a barage of swearing. In the end it ended up into a big arguement where the husband came out and started giving it 'what you going to do??'
they then started blaming my parents for sending me round there... at which point i just left shouting at them saying ' im gong to check my garage in the morning, and if theres any damage to my garage, ill be sending you the bill'

My dad being the kind of person who hates confrontation, just had a big arguement at me for going around there. I have maintained through out this that if it was the empty fuse, i would have left it, and thought, eh **** happens.

In the past, theyve messed my parents about, sworn at my mum for parking the outside our OWN house, when there no other spaces, and she also needed to park. Theyve screwed my parents out of money when we did combined extensions using the same builder in a deal. they made a deal with the builders to screw us out of money.
a couple of months ago, their patio door broke, and she tried blaming my dad for it and tried getting him to pay for it. Luckily the neighbour on our other side confessed it was her kids, and so it was ok, but still like wtf...
so all in all, my question is, what would you have done in the same situation, and was i wrong in what i did??

im going to post as anon, as if i ever need to go through my posts, i dont want the pleasure of reading this convo again... so please put up with it :biggrin:

thanks

No, sounds like you were in the right.

Glue in their keyhole, I reckon.

You were perfectly in the right here. How ever there's no helping some people. However given the neighbours' previous behaviour, i may have left it to my parents to go in 'cause it might not be safe or somethin...

yeh absolutely, and i would have done, if i could have been sure in the fact that my dad or mum wouldve actually done something about - and they wouldnt ever do what i did, even though theyve had the opportunity. Thing is, its a family, with a middle aged couple, who work hard, have a son slightly younger than me. weird one... :s-smilie:

I used to love having a little friend when i was young and they first moved in, but since then theyve just become bastards

EDIT - oh well so much anon, hopefully wont read this back later!

Slashing the tires is easer than nails. Glue in the locks of their car is another good one.

Writing cursives on their lawn with weed killer.

Writing their phone number on the wall of the local toilets for "hot erotic man on man action" is another good one.
