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?

I don’t know what I was expecting when I opened this thread, but it’s not disappointed me.

@AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideOfLife Oh don't stop at the OP, this thread is GOLD

BrokenWingsCantFly · 17/05/2026 03:21

Yeah report him. They will do a drugs test. He will be fine. What an excellent waste of tax payers fund.

Don't pretend this is anything more than you just hating the smell of it. I hate the smell of it too, and my next door neighbour smokes it every weekend out his garden, just over the wall from me. I get that it is a pain, but reporting the dad is OTT

AlwaysLookOnTheBrightSideOfLife · 17/05/2026 03:18

Only read your OP, but do you really think the officer is going to run amok from the effects of his DS having a joint outside? He's hardly sleeping in an unventilated meth lab. Don't be so bloody ridiculous.

@IsabellaVireauxLaurent

you have to use your settings it does not happen by saying stop

Imagine if it did though.

“stop my carpet getting fluffy”

”stop my house getting untidy”

”stop raining on my almost dry laundry”

@Givememynameback

Thanks, my username was inspired by thread about How to Skin a Sausage that went way off track, was a good one

It's tickled me.

No need to be panicking OP. You've quite marvellously redeemed yourself and created comedy.

NoCommentingFromNowOn · 17/05/2026 03:12

Respectfully OP, next time you catch him ‘smoking doobies’, don’t take deep breaths.

WOW! Four whole bedrooms to yourself! Never heard of such luxury!!

(I say as I sit in my FIVE bedroom, FOUR bathroom, DETACHED house).

Focus on yourself and not your neighbours.

Only four bathrooms?

You’re obviously also a drunkard 🤣
