This one is a new one for me!

Our rather hostile neighbours have come up with a rather unusual punishment.

They ordered three brand new wheelie bins - then wrote our house number on their old ones and left them outside our door.

I am utterly confused!

O-K-A-A-Y...how many did you have to start with and where did you keep them? What have they put the markings on with, I expect there's a solvent!

ConnorTraceptive · 23/06/2011 12:52

maybe they thought you'd like the extra bins?

BabyDubsEverywhere · 23/06/2011 12:52

Erm? I dont get it, did you need bins? Not sure why its a punishment really?

Confused
ashamedandconfused · 23/06/2011 12:52

peace offering from them?

or are they trying to tell you that the heaps of rubbish bags outside your house are lowering the tone of the neighbourhood?

TheMagnificentBathykolpian · 23/06/2011 12:53

Why don't you ask them?

valleyqueen · 23/06/2011 12:53

WTF. Obviously they couldn't be bothered to get rid.

Paint over the number and put them back.

ConnorTraceptive · 23/06/2011 12:53

Continue the crazy and write someone else house number on them and leave outside their house

ashamedandconfused · 23/06/2011 12:54

Oh Ive re-read it, first it seemed like a gift, but do you mean they have made it look like they were yours so you are responsible for getting rid/not having them all over the road etc etc?

is odd indeed

ashamedandconfused · 23/06/2011 12:55

if you dont want or need them, just put them on freecycle

SuePurblybilt · 23/06/2011 12:59

What? Why?

chainsaw them into teeny tiny pieces and post them through their door

InnocentRedhead · 23/06/2011 13:05

Do you need more bins :s

InnocentRedhead · 23/06/2011 13:05

like the suggestion hully

PrettyMeerkat · 23/06/2011 13:09

Paint over your number. Paint on their number. 547 times, including the lid and the bottom. Attach flag to top, also with their number on. Get thick chain. Chain bins to their fence/front door. Run away. Deny everything.

SuePurblybilt · 23/06/2011 13:11

Pretty Meerkat and Hully have terrible, genius, criminal minds.

Seriously OP, why? More info needed.

ChaosTrulyReigns · 23/06/2011 13:20

are they full of body parts?

They could be evil geniuseseses and get away with the crime and you wil lbe AIBUing from Broadmoor next week about how your curfains and bedlinen don't match.

PorkChopSter · 23/06/2011 13:21

Have you asked them why?

Some hilarious suggestions!

I knocked on to ask why but no answer....

I think they are either evil geniouses or they genuinely thought they were ours?

I've phoned the council - they are being collected Monday.

Mental.

You're telling us we'll never know why? Arrgh!

ashamedandconfused · 23/06/2011 17:55

perhaps they did it to find out whether you were an MNer? You might need to change your name now OP!
