To think this level of pettiness is embarrassing?

My next door neighbours are just very inconsiderate people. They need their own thread.

Our houses are attached but we have separated driveways with a clear line of gravel between them and a partial hedge.

We both keep our bins on the driveway and today I’ve gone out to put my bin back and they’ve shoved my (different) bin and placed their bin on my driveway. I moved it back and it’s heavy so it didn’t blow across.

I know this is a none thread, but it does annoy me how petty some people are. Like just why do it? 🙄 anyone have other petty neighbour stories?

(yes I’ve been sad enough to go a diagram)

What is a none thread?

A thread where nothing has happened 😂

Oh dear OP I think that without a backstory you seem to come across as the petty one. Saying that, I've lived next to some awful neighbours and even the slightest thing can push you over the edge so you have my sympathy!

How is OP petty, the neighbour has moved OP's bin to put their bin on OP's drive. How does that make OP petty?

I don't understand.
Why would they move the bins around?
What would be the point?

I wouldn't have moved it back on to their side, I would have shoved it onto the pavement/gutter 😈

But according to your diagram they have plenty of room their side so why would they put it your side? What's the background here.

Petty implies they did it on purpose to get at you, do you think they did? I imagine it's more just a combination of ignorance and lack of consideration than being actively petty. If I wanted to be petty I'd put the bin across your drive so you had to get out and move it to park.
