I have a small small holding- a tiny-holding, with some fairly make-shift fencing within my plot.(Not the main perimeter fence, this is tall and sturdy)
The lad next door often kicks his football over, and I know he fetches them when he thinks I'm not looking.
By doing this, often he disturbs the animals, and/or the fencing. Often I get home, and some of the animals are in the wrong bit, possibly because they're crafty buggers, but also more likely if the fencing has been flattened in one bit by a pre-teenage boy trying to fetch his balls.
Tonight, two pre-teen girls were swinging on the main fence watching the animals. I felt a bit cross at this, as they could easily damage it- it's a fence, it's not for sitting on. (Not in AIBU, anyway).
Lad kicked his ball over. They shouted to him "Quick, Bob, get it!" Bob then climbs the main fence, and fetches his ball.
I holler out my window "Bob! Please stay out my garden, I'll always chuck the balls back when I can!" Then added, when the girls looked at me "plus you two, too!"
Now, I am regretting my fishwife outburst.
I know the animals escape sometimes, and people are tolerant, and send them back, just like balls. However, if lads collecting balls didn't mess with the chicken wire, perhaps they wouldn't escape as much?
WIBU?
