To move her damn wheelie bin

[Hazeleyedbaby]

AIBU to move my neighbours bin to the front of her gate, the collection was 2 days ago and it's still outside the front of my house ( they are all moved there for collection) or am I being petty

If you flounce outside and with great theatrics move her wheelie bin with a deep sigh then bang on her door and tell her what you've done then yes YABU! .

If you do her a favour and move it without a fuss then YANBU. Is she in?

As long as you have checked that your neighbour is still alive and well, I am sure it would be reasonable to put her bin back.

I do that for my neighbour when the bin men leave the bins all over the road. She has just had a baby....

Yes she is in and defo no theatrics - it wont be doing her a favour as our bins go to the lane at the back of the houses just want to move it to 'remind' her to move it there herself, it's not the first time this has happened and i am new to the street

They are just lazy as there are 2 adults and two kids who walk by the bin to get to the cars several times per day!

So you will be moving her bin in a passive aggressive way then??

Have you talked to her about it? I'd really hate it if you moved my bin, but would be fine if you talked to me about it first.

We had someone who would put irritating notes through our door asking us to close a shared gate (we never did because then we couldn't ride our bikes through without getting off first, then wheeling through, then going back and closing it... total faff in the rain) - all it did was make us pissed off and do it more!

If he'd spoken to us and been reasonable, I think we would have reacted better.

I sometimes leave my bin out...it's there now...are you talking about me?

I leave mine because I sometimes just can't be bothered.....2 DC's, husband away working, my own job... too much work to cope with as well as the bins...

Sorry though...I do worry it looks awful but I have to allocate energy sometimes and the bins come last.

If you are going to move it, I think that you need to move it to the place it needs to go - put it round the back, not a passive agressive gesture of putting it by her gate.

I think that you need to be kind to people in life and treat them as you would wish to be treated. Starting some silly antics with your neighbour over a bin placement (despite the fact she is in the wrong) is really sad and pathetic IMO. Do you really know what's going on with her - she could have all sorts of problems?

If she really is just lazy, you aren't going to change that by moving her bin to her gate.

You can achieve nothing regarding her behaviour by moving it to her gate so don't do it and grow up. 2 wrongs don't make a right, a my mother used to tell us when we were kids.

Why does it matter where her bin is? Are you my mum? She thinks it shocking that our bins live at the bottom of the drive where the bin men can just help themselves rather than me moving them every week at the moment. (DP working is away, I am 35 weeks pregnant, looking after DS, decorating, working and writing my dissertation). I just put it down to my mum being a dangerous loon, but people honestly care about other peoples bins?

We all move each other's bins where I live.

I am the only mum currently mostly at home when I am not in college. We live in a mid-terraced house. My one neighbour on the side works shifts so sometimes he is out and about before me and he will move all the bins in the correct place. That is his, ours, the one neighbour on my left and the couple opposite. We live in a little cul-de-sac. On a Sunday same thing if we are ever late out like having dinner at the inlaws and we come home then the other single guy would have put our bin out for us as well.

I think if everyone is being nice to everyone without ever moaning than it shouldnt be a problem. As neighbours we all greet each other. We are not best friends we moved in here after them all and they have lift here 9 years. But being nice and civil get you a long way.

People are so selfish, I can't be arsed to move my bins, I can't be arsed to close a gate, doesn't matter if you incovenience or annoy your neighbours...how far up your own arses are you lot?

here, here BonniePrinceBillY. Wheelie bins are an eyesore put them away. If I were you Hazeleyedbaby I would put it right in front of her gate so that she has to move it before she can go any further. Why should you have to look at it all the time?

We used to share a drive and the bin men always blocked the access to our part with ours and neighbours bins every week and every week they would come home (they would always be home before me) and leave theirs exactly where it was so I would have to get out of my car and move theirs and mine before I could park. It made me so it's rude and unnecessary.

YANBU - push it in front of her gate so she can't ignore it.

Not shutting a gate Bongo. Sorry, that is awful. I tell anyone who will listen that gates should always be closed, that is what they are for.

Round here, I think you can get fined for leaving your bin out. It would annoy me, but trainsandplanes is absolutely right, we should all try to be nicer to each other.

put a cat in it...

I have to move the bins as the binmen think its a laugh to leave the bins in the most inconvienient place possible! I move the neighbour to my left bin as he often moves mine. I don't move my neghbour's bin to my right as they seem to forget they have actually put a bin out as it sits for days on end and if they can't be arsed moving it then why shoould I do it for them?

There's a bin I move regularly on my way to school - we're supposed to leave the bins at the edge of our property but it gets put onto the pavement as (I assume) when it's at the edge of the drive they can't get their car in or out. I move it as I cannot get the pushchair past it without going onto the road when it's on the pavement. I tuck it in at the edge of their drive to try and make it as out-of-the-way as possible, but I don't see why I should take the buggy into the road to get round it.

I move my neighbour's bin all the time and they mine. Usually in a helpful way down their path, but if in a rush I'll just move it out of my way.
My neighbours are elderly and probably bring our bin down the path for us more often than we take theirs because they are at home more and they are nice.

I now think someone is moving my bins into our garden for us...or the bin men are being nice to me and only me, in a street of a hundred houses mine are the only ones not left on the pavement after a collection...baby is 5 months old, had c sect, so not easy to move them at the start, but they have no way of knowing that...

So thanks to my wheelie bin fairy, whoever you are!

Heres a thought though...move her bin, to where it lives. It's moved, you feel all warm and fuzzy cause you did somthing nice, maybe she feels guilty and does the same for you.

(Can you tell I got more than 3hrs sleep in a row last night? normally would say put the bloody bin in her doorway, the bitch. with a cat in it.)

lol at holytoast, stop being funny I have spd and it hurts when I laugh

Put the bin outside the neighbour's houe on the other side with a note on top saying please pass it on

Have you checked it's been emptied?

Mine has been missed for the past 2 weeks and have been advised to leave it out for attempted collection.

I seem to have a different wheelie bin each week! Someone puts it back, but it's rarely my one. The bins are collected just after I leave for work and when I'm not on holiday it moves back before I return.

Now the person who weeded my window box...that's another matter.

My dustbin got ran over last week

I am tetchy about bins. I live at the end of a terrace & so the bins end up near our house on bin day. There are rather a lot who leave them there all week as though it was a bin storage area, bringing their rubbish along the street to put in their bin. ooooooh it peeves me! It is a narrow street so we all park on the kerb. This plus bins means tricky for buggies, bikes & wheelchairs. Also people are less careful & overfill so then problems with smell & wasps. grrr!

Just one bin? Does she do this every week?
