(search for "spit")

i guess when they made this act, they forgot about what comes out from the mouth? the act only covers the nose. maybe spitting is not covered under this Act? I always thought spitting is an offence, same as littering.

using the law against him might not be the best, he can always change his pattern. One horrible neighbour of mine used to purposely blast his sound system to irritate neighbours. He would simply blast his sound system, then go out for shopping or what, come back a few hours later. So, even police come and knock, also useless. A very notorious neighbour to have uh? i think a better way is to be friendly to them, taking revenge will just escalate. But its not easy to be nice to someone who spitted on ur slippers rite? :)

we have only 1 pair of slippers outside...belonging to my father..when he wears it and go down the staircase, there no sound.

 

they also have slippers outside...and when they walk down they step on the floors to create loud noises...i have some video footages of them actually stepping hard on the floor too...intentionally......my neighoburs are sikhs and all of them don't even have an O level...that kind of explains their uncivilised manner...and inconsiderate acts towards neighbours....us..plus other neighbours.

Hi Green

 

Here's what I think you can do, but it will take time and patience...

 

Start a blog.  Just blog about the nasty things that they will do, blog in a way without any personal emotions attach and just report the facts as honestly as possible.  Overtime, the blog will get more and more entries (which is sad) and soon enough, the press will wanna feature you.

 

I think only by making these people famous then it will knock some senses into them.
