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 like a glass of wine and the occasional g and t on celebratory nights. I'm not denying my use of alcohol buts it's all.above board and I always wait 48 hours to drive or use the iron or lawn mower etc.

Fuck ironing. No one will make me do that; either under the influence or sober. I wonder if a doobie might make ironing more fun? Asking for a friend obvs

It's unlikely to be dealt with until the morning though.

You're welcome.

That was me making a point about getting refund for goods taken and spilled. Tried to be humourous. How do I delete this thread please Isabella? Wish I'd not started it now I keep getting emails about this but I want it to stop. Thankyou

Don't feel the need to apologise on my behalf.

Poster accuses people of using drugs, being drunk and generally uneducated then wonders why it comes back to bite them on the arse.

This. I’ve certainly mowed the lawn hungover. I might even risk boiling the kettle tomorrow morning. Living life on the edge, me!

Show quote history

Boiling the kettle is fine. But please leave it for sober responsible adults to pour the hot water into a mug, the end result if you attempt to pour it yourself might be…..a cup of tea 🤯. The horrors!

At 20 to midnight she wrote this on the replacement chips thread

Guess il go back to the pub I just left and ask for a refund fir the 2 shots if sambuca I just threw up in the car park.

So god knows what’s going on.

Plus she cracked some joke about someone else’s spelling two posts later, then did a howler of a spelling mistake on here.

And she’s been rude, but accuses you lot of being rude.

🤣

Classy.
