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

[PerkyOchrePeer]

Am I being un̈reasonable? 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 do love your threads OP.

I moved here over 20 years ago. Tge communal carpets are very shabby and threadbare. I have no idea when they were laid because they were here when I moved in.So I would guess they've been here 35 years. You would not leave a carpet in your home for that long. You would change your carpet every so often. So why do they leave this carpet to get worse and worse and worse? And for hygiene reasons, carpet should be changed every 10 years or so.

Even if you don't change your carpet, you should get it deep cleans. And I get my carpets, deep cleaned regularly. Even more so for communal carpets where people are walking in and out without door shoes. I take my shoes off when I go home and wear slippers. I would not walk around my carpets in outdoor shoes. Because you don't know what you've been treading on.

IIRC, sometimes there are community organisations that rent out things like carpet cleaners in recognition it makes no sense to own one for most people. Have a google, see if you can find anything like that, OP!

Difference is: you don't have to put your bin in people's way.

I hear what you're saying: that's a common issue in shared buildings / shared entrances. Have you tried organising people? Asking them to sort on a rota? If you try and this fails: it's a failure of the landlord / owner to sort a cleaner for this issue or to sort an official rota in tenancy agreements. Speak to them. Don't passive-aggressively retaliate.
