Is this normal?

Just stepped over my neighbour, passed out in front of the house and I realised this is actually the third neighbour I've found unconscious out front!🤔
Is this happening to other people?

Good grief! No it never happens around here.

And you just step over them and get on with your night?

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 06/09/2026 00:46

Nope. Only happened to me once.

There's not a gas leak or something is there?!

Never stepped over a passed out neighbour in all my days.

BansheeOfTheSouth · 06/09/2026 00:52

Are you growing something in your garden that is attracting these passing out neighbours?

Never encountered one to step over 😂

What the hell are you going on about?

When I was a student and live in a building full of students I would often step over my drunk conked out classmates, but not since then. Do you happen to live in a halls of residence?

patooties · 06/09/2026 01:11

Passed our pissed? Tripped and banged their head? Or fainted?

This was my thought too. The only place I expect this to be the norm. Unless OP lives in a very very bad area.

Crack den x

You must live in a pretty odd place if you consider this normal.

PenguinofAntarctica · 06/09/2026 06:43

Someone’s on something for sure… 🥴

Crunchymum · 06/09/2026 07:35

So many questions @henlake7

How often is this happening / how many passed out neighbours have you had?

Why had they passed out?

Did you check your neighbour was okay? Or literally just step over them?

Do you live near some kind of "halfway house" or somewhere that houses people more likely to pass out? (Somewhere people with alcohol or drug issues live?)

So bizarre.

WonderingWanda · 06/09/2026 07:41

Not normal to find multiple people passed out on your street.

Also not normal to step over a passed out person. You should probably have checked them over, see if they are breathing and responsive? If not you should put them in the recovery position and call an ambulance.

Indeed. A normal response to finding a collapsed individual would be to check they are breathing and summon medical assistance.

You have cracked the code!😆
First one often did it coz his parents kicked him out due to drug/alcohol issues , after him was an older man (again with the drugs and alcohol).
I thought the other side was normal but found one conked out until neighbours threw a bucket of water on him!

I usually call the police if they don't shift. Waking them yourself usually gets you threatened with violence!🙄
