Fucking hell im so upset and downright furious

[WhaleOilBeefHookedIWill]

A letter on a scrap of paper has been sent through my front door. It claims to be from a 'concerned' resident in the close which reads.

'Dear Neighbour,
I write to you out of concern for the value of my home and others in the cul de sac. I have written to yourself and two other residents in the close. Firstly I would like to apologise if this offends you in any way but I feel it needs to be said.
I appreciate that we all live very busy lives but I feel that we owe it to each other to spend a small amount of time on the upkeep of our property. I can only pressume that you did not realize your home looks a mess. I feel concerned for the value of my home and feel we owe it to each other to make an effort to keep our homes looking nice.
Your house reminds me of a poverty stricken council house with toys regularly strewn on your drive and your blinds look a mess. Once again I apologise if this offends you but again I would like to be told if I was upsetting others around me.

My moneybags DSis moved into a vair upmarket street and had a skip outside her house into which she was putting a lot of stuff like very expensive and classy curtains and rugs the previous owners had left behind but which were not to her taste. It seemed wasteful just to dump them so she put a note on the skip saying people were welcome to take what they want, only to have an outraged note put through her door objecting to this and saying "We don't do this sort of thing round here".

It immediately summoned up an image Penelope Keith's Margo!

Kids toys left in a FRONT garden mean an area is safe and not a crime ridden cesspit. Thus likely to push UP the property value for nice middle class types searching for a nice family home for their children.

This neighbour is bonkers - IGNORE. To do anything else is giving this gutless fool power they don't deserve. Frankly if they haven't even got the guts to sign their name to the note then they should put up and shut up imho.

(But do ensure your blinds are properly closed before indulging in a mid-afternoon boink on the sofa as Hyacinth Bucket is a nosey so & so with too much time on his/her hands).

lashingsofbingeinghere - Henry Root - it is years since I heard that name...have a pound!

I wish your mystery neighbour could see the giant dandelions we are growing between the flags on our front path. that would give her(if it is a her) something to worry about. Perhaps I could send you some seeds op....

You live at 22 Shit Street .

( you'll have to google it, can't do links atm)

Wish I could 'like' comments on mumsnet, some of these have had me crying laughing!

you NEED to post something throguh the doors. hoping that the wanker comes forward

Don't post any notes!

Just do something to house or garden that'll piss them off even more... and like an evil bastard, anticipate the next note... god I wish I were in your shoes, I'd be loving this.

Like someone else suggested, paint your front door a hideous colour...

Hire a big skip... for a long time,

or get a caravan!

Shame the weather isn't better - I feel a paddling pool (filled by bucket of course), all of your friends and their kids, bucket load of pavement chalk, some nice gnomes & a fridge - with all the kids playing and all the adults lounging around on the front lawn as scantily dressed as possible (just short of scaring the kids!!).

Have fun with this!!

or a mumsnet meet up in the front garden.What fun we would have with our pom bears,fruit shoots and greggs sausage rolls all bought with our benefits of course.Maybe we could all chip in for a goat to keep the lawn trimmed.

I've got a Broken Loo and a bath going free. Decoration for your front yard OP ?

Pink Flamingos :) would be good too.

checking her front door for signs....... lol

Pathetic... Maybe buy a very old car, (non running) and have your kids paint it for fun!! roflmao... plant a small garden in the engine part... LOLOLOL... JK Or how about those toilets that have a planter in it? lol

I would be livid though.... however, I would copy her letter, and send it with your own....so EVERYONE can see it... Plus add in yours... warning to others, becareful someone around here is keeping an eye on YOUR property too!!!

Make sure on halloween you wrap your house in toilet paper yourself! LOLOL

Send one back..

"Dear neighbour,

Seeing as the state of my home has not only concerned you enough to write to me but has also proven that you have nothing better to do. May I suggest that if you are in fact that bored that you fix everything you have stated that is wrong with my house yourself - therefore doing us both a favour and indeed the local comunity in your eyes.

If you are offended by this suggestion may I suggest that you fuck off and get your own life, and to ensure that you dont offened me further, once you find your own life, fuck off again."

We received an anonymous letter saying our extension was an eye sore and spoilt the view. I fumed, wrote a very articulate but arsey letter which I then ripped up. Got it out of my system. Sad people who have nothing better to do. It was the lack of signature that annoyed me the most. Bloody cowards.

I'd be bloody furious and all gobby but inside I'd be devastated and would probably rip the blinds down in the middle of the night whilst slightly drunk and crying . Why do people have to be so mean? I hope you can ignore the narrow minded miserable twat, play very loud children's music and let your children play outside.

Perhaps it's time to start you Xmas countdown? Maybe a giant inflatable Santa??

Caramac I should think that after 3+ years the OP has got over it.

Ergo, Zombie alert

How do people even end up posting on random AIBU threads anyway? How do they find them without trawling through literally thousands of threads?

I KNOW, Leccie. Tis v v strange.

My next door neighbour has been burning furniture in his garden for the past 2 days.
A sofa and 3 armchairs, it's stinks the smokes hurting our eyes and in this heat we can't go in the garden put washing out or even have our windows open.

Toys on the front lawn would be welcome!

Op Can you hire a gang of neighbourhood kids to sit on the wall out side your house drinking cider?

FFS, what idiot keeps digging up these old threads.
