There is a man sitting on my windowsill

[TwelfthMarchOnATreadmill]

Old cottage, opens straight out on to the road. The sills are fairly low and deep. House is clearly occupied. I'm trying to get DD to nap. He's plonked his arse on the ledge, is leaning right back against the window so he can have a loud conversation with friend.

This is a bit fucking rude, no?

You mean you didn't "accidentally" drop DD''s dirty nappy out of the window directly above?!

He gave you the fingers? Fucksake, what a rude man.

Hahaaaa at your DH
What a fucking cheek!

What a complete arse. I would get something to put on sill. Flowers or bird spikes or put a note outside “ sitting on sils may result in falling water” or something much cleverer than that ( can think right now)!

This is where you need a chamber pot emptied out of an upstairs window.

@TwelfthMarchOnATreadmill

He's absolutely ok. I tapped on the window and he turned around and gave me the fingers.

DH then opened the door and told him to fuck off unless he wanted to start paying us rent

Strewth he's an ignorant twunt isn't he? I hope he's gone now ...

I'd have wanted to stand there in the room in my house with my phone videoing them and their conversation and let them know I'd post it on fb with the view of his arse squished against my window .... (then he'd better Hope he wasn't slagging anyone off in his oh so important conversation!)

Your DH cracks me up!

GARDYLOOO!!!

Is made for precisely this situation. Hope he's gone, OP, what a twat.

You need a dog OP, mine would have scared the shit out of him the second he sat down

Ha, mine too. They do have their uses now and again

Daft fucker.

Oh well at least him and his fingers are gone now.

Anti climb paint, liberally spread

You should have gifted him the house, OP. Badly done.

I love how you started the thread before deciding to tap on the window.

That's so very Mumsnet!

Why do people think its OK to sit on other people's sills and then give you the finger? It's madness. People are so aggressive

That much is true

Maybe you could get one of these to sit on your side of the window.

Oh I know Kitty, OP should be hanging her head in shame. It's just so rude not to say wait a minute, ok here are the keys?

I'm off to find a windowsill if this is an effective method of acquiring a house...

I'll take all my fingers with me.

Hope dd settled ok anyway.

I love your DH!

Water, Vaseline, spikes, dogs.... what about politely asking him to move? 🤷‍♀️

Sign outside pointing to nearest bench?

Very occasional uses Blondiney Mine would have hit the window like a house brick with his head and then followed up with a volley of barking he must have stolen from a much larger dog. He would lick them to death if I opened the door though so he's only useful to a point

What a cheek. Our windowsills are a little high for this to happen and there is the garden and wall in between the house and the footpath, otherwise it wouldn't surprise me. We do get walkers sitting on our wall with their flasks and sandwiches, maps or changing their boots, although it's clearly a garden wall belonging to a house. Friends nearby had a family of tourists cross their garden and stand right next to their window, watching them having their meal at the table, as if they were an exhibit in a living museum!

It is tempting to release the hounds and load the blunderbuss.

This used to happen to friends of ours. They now have beautiful window boxes; no room to sit. They've also put an anti-glare covering on those windows. People can't see in but they still get the benefit of the light in their sitting room.

Your DH has handled the decision exactly right!

And did he fuck off then?

and then?
