Concerns over neighbours lifestyle choices.

So my neighbours teenage son has been smoking doobies in the garden with his parents consent. His father is a policeman and actually a firearms officer. I'm concerned that he may be using Ur at least getting high from the passive smoking. I want to report him to his superiors but DH is adamantly against it and says I'm being dramatic. Really between a rock and a hard place. AIBU if I report him?

This is the funniest thing I have read on here for ages. Hyacinth Bouquet meets the character from Baby Reindeer.

Classics please!

Don’t do it. It could backfire on you.

I think anyone using the term 'hun' or 'hon', needs to be investigated. It's so passive aggressive.

Agree except thus trash took herself out so I don't think we need to worry about her.
She's overdosed by now surely... Hopefully.

Oh dear someone has nothing better to do then spy on the neighbours. Honestly how about you worry about your own life and family.

You need to mind your own business.

🤣 are you the same woman that was in a state the other night because her adult son was wearing a T-shirt with an obscenity/sexual language on it? If not, you should get together and form some sort of club.

Doubt you be laughing if you had this decision to make.

Absolute batshit.
No one would consider this non issue a decision.
No one but you would lose sleep over this. My God I'd smoke too if I lived next to someone so jumped up.

Sorry , I use it as a term of affecting , I know it's spelled Hon.

Your spelling and grammar also leaves a lot to be desired, so perhaps berating other people for theirs isn’t a route you should be heading down.

As for your original question, which I’ll entertain as genuine for now, sure, go and report him. I mean, it’s not as of the police would ever have random drug testing or his colleagues might notice if he was showing up high. Let us know how you get on.

PsilocybinSalsa · 17/05/2026 06:45

Ridiculous.
Find something else to do.
What a nosey pest of a neighbour you sound.
Have a puff yourself and chill the fuck out.

Nos4r2 · 17/05/2026 06:25

I wouldn't like someone smoking this crap in the next door garden it stinks, but it looks like OP everyone on here partakes in it so no one is going to agree with you.
I do sympathise though and can't believe so many see this as normal.

This thread is a treat to wake up to. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at 6am on a Sunday since my clubbing days many moons ago.

Stand down! Abort thread! Abort!! Abort!! ALEXA, STOP PEOPLE REPLYING!

But then how we can come out and ask if the neighbour on the other side hangs her knickers on the line which is a secret code to the ops husband shows she wants him to join her sex circus

Is a doobie the same as a spliff ?

That's what they called it in the 1960s, back when drunk ironing was a criminal offence.

rwalker · 17/05/2026 06:08

Can’t stand the smell of itI think you’ll be extremely disappointed with the response if you report

You're actually mental. This has to be a wind up. I say this as someone who has no truck with drugs or alcohol whatsoever. Stop trying to police the lives of others and go and get some hobbies. I'm sure if you live in such a 'naice' area, there will be plenty of options available to you.
