    Well, I've got in an argument with my neighbors because I don't want them to hang and gossip loudly in front of my house(Since my room is very near the road and there is a staircase there where they can hang out), the problem is they said it is public space and they can do whatever they want 'one of them even said that they don't care if I'm sleeping or getting bothered by their conversation' So I'm asking since I'm confused whenever I did was right or not to politely ask them to not to hang in front or in some case smoke in the staircase of the house.

    I know it is pretty weird to ask a question like this here but I'm too lazy to create accounts on other websites.

    I did (well the guards in the area), basically, they said to resolve it by ourselves.

    if they won't listen to reason, don't use any. Find a legal way to bother them back

    Were they smoking weed? If yes, is that legal in your country? If no, call the cops. Otherwise I don't think they are doing anything illegal, unless they do it in the middle of the night, then you might be able to file a noise complaint.

    You did the right thing in asking politely.

    If they don't give a shit about you, just harass then whenever they are there. Throw shit at them, play loud music when they're trying to talk or dump water on them.


    Sounds like you live in an apartment complex? If you do, there are probably ordinances against this shit, so look up the rules then complain to the management.

    They're being little cunts so just make it awful for them to be there and they'll hang elsewhere.

    I'd blast metal and/or anime songs when they hang out.

    lmao how are people making a thread about this.
    "Guys, I asked this person that was blocking the sidewalk to politely move, but he got angry"
    "Was it the right thing to even ask?!???"

    That's not public space, that's communal space, making it equally as yours as it is theirs.
    Sounds like the guards are not doing their job, you can call police on them.
    Alternatively some other way to bother them legally as was already said.
    Or just be a dick back to them and do as somebody also already suggested - throw water over them or find some other way to annoy/disrupt them. You can claim back that it's a communal space and you can do whatever you want there just as they do. And you considered them smoking a fire hazard xD

    Good luck :D

    It highly depends on the law of your country / living area (if special rules apply).

    Generally there should be a time (usually after 10 pm), when you can call the police on them.

    Before that however... Best advise I can offer is:
    1) Try to talk to them (friendly)
    2) Wear headphones, etc. to mute the noise
    3) Play some REALLY annoying sounds whenever they bother you too much. It'll either escalate or they'll learn.

    As for the staircase: as long as it's not part of your house, there is little you can do. (unless there is some law/rule that forbids loitering)

    I did, it didn't work since they said it was 'public area' that talking isn't illegal.
    Nope, just cigarettes.
    I'm tempted to do that as well :/.
    It's a rented house, and yes there is the local community discussion which I'm planning to ask my father to bought it up.

    Alternative: Take notes about who said what about whom and either show the people gossiped about them (if it's about people they know).
    You might want to record it too, as evidence against possible lawsuits for slander, but do NOT!!! use it unless you got the Ok from your lawyer, since it might be illegal to record others without their consent.

    If you're bold enough throw them a bucket of pee. Ohohoho. But i guess that brings more problems.

    Don't listen to me TS. Or would you?

    For everyone saying throw water at them, that's assault. They could make his life living hell if they decided to insist on pressing charges.

    Get some surströmming, e.g. from ebay and leave it open at their gathering spot
