Preface: I have tried to go about this via all the right channels for months, I’ve reported it to my local council about 9 times and sent photos etc. any rational intervention we have tried (simply moving the bin) has resulted in vandalism and damage to residents cars.
Issue: Neighbour reserving/blocking a public road with their wheely bin for nearly 6 months. It’s not allowed as it’s not on their property, it’s on the road and blocking the road. They can be fined and asked to move it. Nothing has been done about it. I’ve given up with the council.
I am moving house…. So I don’t have to tolerate this anymore but I am dreaming of some kind of goodbye/fuck you. This has really affected us as we can’t park outside our own house for fear of having our car damaged.
I don’t want to do anything criminal that’s not what I’m suggesting. I also wouldn’t do anything on bin collection day that could cause an issue for the bin men
Family have suggested the following:
-hiding the bin somewhere on the estate
-kidnapping the bin
-gluing the bin to the road
-gluing the bin lid shut
-anti vandal paint on the handle
-covering it in sticky gloop/gelatine (that can be washed off but is inconvenient)
-filling it with something they have to empty like rocks
Or should I do the right (boring and sensible) thing and be the bigger person and let it go, and let this bully carry on bullying the next people who move in here
