We've recently moved and had a new, secure wooden side gate fitted. It was made to measure to go between us and our neighbours providing access to our back garden. We use this gate twice a day for walking our dog. This evening, our neighbour came out - first time he's spoken to us since we moved in 6 weeks ago - telling us to move the gate because it was noisy?!
Our builder happened to still be there and he was quite incredulous. We obviously don't want to antagonise the neighbours (even if he is a complete tosser) so said that we would look into putting the latch on his side rather than the hinges.
He agreed to this - no thanks - just asked when it would be done because him and his wife were sick to death of the noise of the gate against their wall.
I returned home feeling bloody furious. This man (again, tosser) is causing us to spend more money, inconveniencing our builder and refusing to contribute any money himself towards his (perceived)problem.
He's ignored us since we moved in - the house had been empty for 3 years before our occupation - and can only assume that they preferred living next door to a vacant property. Well, tough. We're considerate people and our horribly noisy gate is utterly laughable.
Sorry, rant over.
