petty neighbour

For the last 10 years, every week myself and my neighbour take turns in bringing wheely bins in through alleyway, once they have been emptied by the bin men. Last week it was my turn to bring them in but was feeling too ill (currently pregnant)to do so. My neighbour brough her bin in and left vmine out the front. Petty or what?? This has happened a couple of times in the past but I simply ignored it and once it was my turn again I brought both our bins in.

What would you do today, would you just bring yours through or your neighbour's as well?

if it's being an arrangement for 10yrs then yes I'd think it was petty.

Has she ALWAYS done it when it was her turn - I bet she's missed a few as well

I would bring both bins in when it's your turn, otherwise you are being just as petty.

Agree with Scurry.

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 10:26

ooops - didn't read the post properly.

Agree with scurry, don't stoop to her level of pettyness

sarinha2203 · 30/06/2010 10:44

That's what I was thinking too but I just get so annoyed! Yes she has missed her turns a few times and I still brought hers in and I have also brought them in week after week sometimes just out of goodness.

hehe sarinha - it's the hormones (And the weather) you'll be fine.

You'll have to pop round for a coffee/tea/natter again at some point.

sarinha2203 · 30/06/2010 10:51

hehe yes must be the hormones! I very nearly popped in on way home this morning and then I thought I best not, you might be busy.

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 10:52

busy? I'm never busy

sarinha2203 · 30/06/2010 10:55

oh - yes well, don't remind me - that was hell on earth (or rather hell in my kitchen )

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 14:29

did you bring them both in then???

sarinha2203 · 30/06/2010 14:31

hehe yes I did...thought to myself that I am a better person than to lower myself to her level of pettyness...

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 14:32

mind is still out there - I'll bring it in when I go and get DS2 in a while lol.

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 14:33

minE not mind

LoveBeingAsleep · 30/06/2010 14:35

Toccatanfudge don't bother sarinha will get it for you

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 14:36

haha maybe if I smile really sweetly at her on here she'll pop down my street and put it in for me before she goes to the school

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 14:37

although LBA - she's very kind and for the last 2 weeks have posted a message on my FB wall on a Tuesday to remind me to put my bin out

LoveBeingAsleep · 30/06/2010 14:42

sarinha2203 · 30/06/2010 16:39

toccatanfudge · 30/06/2010 18:21
