to be really fucking sick of this.

[HelenaDove]

the building absolutely reeks of skunk because of the selfish cunt downstairs.
the fucking housing association know about it and are doing fuck all. It is SO strong The HA arent doing anything and im bloody fed up
I dont want to end up reeking of it FFS!

[steppemum]

call police.

[steppemum]

not 999 obviously, but report it.

Every time it smells report it.

[userblablabla]

It they have a pet skunk I think you can get their scent glands removed? Maybe suggest that?

[Usernumbers1234]

Police unlikely to care and for gods sake don’t phone 999 like some idiot has suggested, the emergency line is not there for that. 101if you want to involve them,

Not sure, but might fall under environmental health for nuisance smells, could try that route if HA aren’t bothered.

[Usernumbers1234]

Edit Apologies, I’m the idiot.

Op said don’t phone 999!

[trulybadlydeeply]

I think it's now illegal to remove the scent glands, although if it's well socialised it shouldn't happen. Is it an environmental health issue?

[HelenaDove]

Oh God i wouldnt dream of phoning 999 for this. Im just so bloody annoyed. ive never smelt it this strong before.

[shumway]

I thought OP meant drugs not animal.

[HelenaDove]

Thanks Usernumbers I didnt think of that.

[userblablabla]

RSPCA is another option

[raspberryTrousers]

Have you spoken to your neighbours?

[Ma15x]

shumway - I didn't even think of that! OP do you mean drugs or animal?!

[Branleuse]

if it smells that strongly, he is probably growing it

I dont have any issue with people smoking it, or even growing it to some extent for personal use, but in a bloody flat and stinking the whole place out is pretty antisocial. Im not surprised youre pissed off

[trulybadlydeeply]

Oh, I assumed animal, as I know a couple of people who have kept skunks.

Both can be pretty stinky though!

[RoboticMary]

Police are unlikely to do anything. They have their hands full with bigger issues. Not that I don’t agree with you OP, I wouldn’t like it either.

[RaymondHolt]

Email the police - every time.

Copy in the housing association and environmental health - every time.

I called 101 and logged it (in a housing association building). The community Police came one evening knocking on doors and it stopped.

If you know which flat - even better.

[RaymondHolt]

Yes - complain of antisocial behaviour!

[HelenaDove]

raspberry hes not exactly approachchable. He threatened to "come up here" to my DH one time when id been up and down to the toilet in the night Said he could hear me . Strangely the previous neighbour had no complaints in the 19 years he lived underneath us.

[easyandy101]

My neighbour wrote me a letter and then I started smoking on the balcony

Then upstairs complained so we now go for a walk with it

[abacucat]

Report to police anonymously that you think the man there is growing it and selling it on. Police will come out then.

[HelenaDove]

if it was normal cigarette smoke that wouldnt bother me. the late downstairs neighbour used to smoke (before he gave up) and we couldnt smell that. Its because this shit is so strong.

[Russiawithlove]

The police will not do a thing I'm afraid. It's not illegal to smoke for personal use.
Some of these responses are simply daft.

Just speak to them OP. Just mention how strong it smells.

[Screaminginsidemeagain]

We moved because of our neighbours weed habit. The whole house would smell like dirty tramp and we had to put a bunk bed in the box room for the DC’s because one room was unusable from the smell.
We spoke to him several times and it would calm down for a while and then ramp up again.

Call 101 and log it - say it is so strong and you suspect they are growing it!

[Russiawithlove]

Soon it will be legalised and more and more prevalent. Times are changing.

[HelenaDove]

Russia My DH has COPD.
