Neighbour in flats asked me not to place my wheelie bin nearby

Am I being uǹˆreasonable? I live in a flat. A young person has recently moved opposite and I do not like her. We each have our own. Wheelie bin and apparently I place my bin too close to hers so she has asked me not.\nTo put it so close and then she said, it's not her job to move it.So she can get her bin in and out to take it out for the bin. If that was me, I would just move the oven bin along, so I could get my bin in and out, I think she's being totally out of order.

I believe in helping people out, and when I was unwell to move my bin, not one of my neighbours agreed to help me move my bin. I actually sought that was disgusting. Because if the boot was on the other foot and my neighbour opposite was unwell and couldn't move her bin, I would look at her and I would say, don't worry about it, certainly, I'll take it out and when you feel better, you can go back to checking your own bin out, but that selfish woman didn't want to even help me. What's an utterly selfish bitch 1 day I was coming back with heavy bag of shopping and she said to me, would you like me to help you carry that up the stairs? And I said, no, why would I flaming? Well, want her to help me carry the bag. And yet when it comes to the bin, oh no oh no oo.

OP you need to realise you sound really nasty. She didn’t want to do your bins as your old arrangement was unusual and not how it’s done in most places. She was kind when she saw you with a heavy bag and you were rude back and now call her a bitch. You’re not behaving normally.

The selfish cow. What an absolute bitch she was to want to help you out with a heavy bag. That was an unimaginable act of cruelty, really. Obviously every right-thinking person in the block should hate her.

She actually owns her property. How do you reckon she is my equal. Someone who is your equal is soneone who dies simular things to you or has the same social background or job. I dont even know what job she does. I never see her dressed up like she has some high flying london job. Its very hard for youngsters to buy a property unless you get an i heritage. My friend I heritage her aunts 4 bed semi. It was too big so she sold it and bought a flat

In terms of being an adult living in your block of flats, she's 100% your equal. She has the same rights and responsibilities as you do, including the right to a bit of consideration and give-and-take.. That's really all that counts in this scenario.

purplecorkheart · 13/08/2026 09:48

OP with all due respect you are the problem. What worked or did not work with the previous tenants does not matter. That is the past forget about it. Move your bin. Opening the window in the hallway is a good thing. It airs the place and means that stale air is getting out.

To be honest you sound very jealous of this lady and quite unhappy in general. I think you should seek help for yourself. Your behaviour is not normal.

These posts are incoherent.

PerkyOchrePeer · 13/08/2026 09:02

I never left space for herbin, because with the previous neighbour, I never left space and it didn't matter, nobody complained, they just accepted it. So I just thought that, because the previous neighbour accepted it, then this neighbour would do the same.

Neighbours.\n Here have never really been friendly or gone out for an evening or anything like that. I suppose, because you watch television programmes like coronation street where all the neighbours are friendly going on holiday going in and out of each other's homes. And in reality that doesn't happen although I was very friendly with my elderly neighbour in the house next door and I used to pop in because she used to say to me pop in whenever you want and would sitting have tea and chat , I used to keep her company , but that was an exception

This is 100% a wind up

TheHungryHungryLandsharks · 13/08/2026 09:59

To give you another example this neighbour keeps opening the upper landing window and leaving it wide open.\n And before she moved here, nobody bothered to open that window, nobody could care less.

What a bitch.

How DARE she want fresh air to circulate through the flats to stop it getting musty.

YorksMa · 13/08/2026 10:01

It's probably best not to stir up OP further. If you read all her other posts there is obviously something different about her that she refuses to recognise - perhaps neurodivergence or learning difficulties, I don't know. But all her threads just result in her getting irrationally angrier and angrier.

It's very odd that in all the years that I've lived in my current flats, and the number of people there have been living in that flat opposite me over the years, not one single person has ever said to me? I'm doing anything wrong, but as soon as she moves in. She starts.

Maybe prior people didn't want to deal with you and your reaction....

There's something wrong with you.

oncemoreuntothebeachdearfriends · 13/08/2026 10:15

Just the 1 bin per property ?
Imagine the scenario with the usual 5-6 bins in U.K. !

Friendlygingercat · 13/08/2026 10:21

When I first moved into this street (detached houses so room between) there was an NDN who always parked her bin opposite my gate on bin day. I have no idea why as there was plenty of room along her frontage for it to go. Several times i moved it back but it was always there the next week. Then over the christmas vacation there was the overflowing bin opposite my gate along with several black bags of her rubbish. My nephew shifted it back and left it on the pavement in front of her gate. It was a windy night and the bin blew over. Foxes got into the bin bags which were torn and the rubbish ended up all over her path and pavement. Oh dear!

She never left her bin in front of my gate again.

dinoderry · 13/08/2026 10:58

You don’t like your neighbour because she: asked you to be considerate with your bin, opened a window that you don’t care about, and offered to help you with heavy shopping? You’re ridiculous.

I dont like her because she reported me about the bin. I just think she throws her weight around and acts like she's lived here for years when, in fact she hasn't even been here a year.. in all the years I've lived here and it's over 20 years. Nobody has reported me. In fact, when we had recycle boxes here and a previous tenant is to fill the recycle boxes with her young toddler's nappy and other things.And foxes would come and tear the boxes open and all the rubbishes to be over the front garden i used to be the one to clear it all up, but I never reported her because I knew it records problems between her and me. And a situation with a bin is nothing compared to finding baby's nappies all over the garden that should put out for the rubbish in the recycle boxes. I think that's absolutely disgusting.

Have a look at this posters posting history. She’s notorious. Her life is filled with very weird and angry/obsessive interactions with others who she feels has slighted her in some way.

KiwiFall · 13/08/2026 12:02

Opened a window - great get fresh air in the building. Plus what’s it to you as you said you don’t care about the window.

Each person having their own bin as it should be. Then others are putting leaking smelling items in your bin. Especially if you keep your own bin cleaned out.

Not blocking someone else’s bin with yours making it easier for everyone to get there bin out. Of course you should. Why would you be a dick and make life harder for people.

purplecorkheart · 13/08/2026 12:03

I am curious. Do you rent or own?

In regards to reporting you regarding the bin. Did she talk to you first and ask you to put it elsewhere first and you didn't?

You seem very fixated on the past and how things were done.

SheilaFentiman · 13/08/2026 12:29

The fact that previous neighbours were ok (maybe) with the bins or that someone in the past put out leaky nappies are irrelevant to your new-ish neighbour because (a) she wasn’t there and (b) people are individuals, just like you

PatNoodle · 13/08/2026 12:33

Someone could buy you a bunch of flowers and you'd still start a thread complaining about them. It must be exhausting to be so pissed off by the mere existence of other people around you

TheBossOfMe · 13/08/2026 12:57

OMG it's you again. Are you able to have any normal interactions with anyone at all? It really must be horrible living your life like this, just furious with everyone all the time.
