My NDN thinks he has a right to privacy and i shouldnt be looking over.

Hi Sharon!

Well obviously he is going to be pissed off if you are just standing on a chair and looking over. Hmm

You need proper spy gadgets if you want to see into their garden. Honestly, fucking amateurs....

CommaChameleon · 07/08/2012 23:43

The dog is probably barking at you, standing on your chair and peering into the garden. Does it stop after you get back down?

Right now your neighbour is probably working out a pattern of your behaviour so he can report you.

This thread is brilliant Grin

BonkeyHasGOLDMollocks · 07/08/2012 23:43

Why don't you just throw a poisoned steak over the fence?

Problem solved for both parties.

You don't have to get pissy about the dog.

Neighbour won't get pissy about you spying.

If ot was me then I would tell you to fuck the fuck off, but hey...

Kladdkaka · 07/08/2012 23:44

In all seriousness, if I were your neighbour, I'd consider this harrassment and I'd call the police and have you arrested.

usualsuspect · 07/08/2012 23:44

You need a periscope.

TantrumsAndOlympicGoldBalloons · 07/08/2012 23:45

Did you ever think the reason the dog is barking is because the lady next door is standing on a chair looking at it over a fence?

And why on earth do you have to see it barking?
Clearly you can hear it.

Are you worried its really your neighbour pretending to be a dog, making barking noises all night just to piss you off?

Chrishassix · 07/08/2012 23:45

Want to know if it is barking as it is left alone all day or if it's the NDN DC encouraging it to bark. Would like to know the catalyst really so that the reason behind the barking can be resolved.

That's a terrible reason. You'll probably get in more trouble for invading his privacy than he would for his dog.

Just contact the council about the dog. Let them handle it. You don't want to get known as the local creepy-stalker woman. If you aren't already of course Hmm

Chrishassix · 07/08/2012 23:45

Harassment?

Get out of town.

If I were your neighbour I would tape the dog and put it on repeat right next to your fence!

Or sneak into your garden and put it near your door.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 07/08/2012 23:48

You're not doing a T Rex while you're standing on the chair are you?
That would deffo set the dog off.

ItsAPileOfBalls · 07/08/2012 23:48

This thread is clearly a wind up.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 07/08/2012 23:49

No, it's Sharon.

LaurieFairyCake · 07/08/2012 23:49

Ya big weirdo.

Hth.

Chrishassix · 07/08/2012 23:50

Nope. The dog barks constantly. After 4 hours on Sunday I broke and went to have a look.

I had looked over on Thursday approx 11am after it had been barking since 5.30am - no sign of life there except a barking dog in a tiny paddock at the end of the garden. House was locked up.

So on Sunday after 4 hours I thought I'd just check to see if the dog is alone, as it would be useful to be able to say "it apppears the dog barks when it;s left alone". The NDN saw me look over, apologised and said it had been barking at the workman who was doing stuff there, but that I shouldn;t look over his fence as I had no right to.

It's not the dog that's barking ...

Chrishassix · 07/08/2012 23:50

Why weirdo?

OP posts:
TantrumsAndOlympicGoldBalloons · 07/08/2012 23:51

So, hold on a minute. Am I correct in thinking that every fucking time the dog barks, you grab your chair, your notebook and pen and peer into the garden to see if the dog is alone or if the DCs are playing with it?
every time it barks?

What if it's 3am? Not likely everyone has gone out, or DCs playing with the dog. Do you climb out of bed, get up on your chair and look into darkness?

WTAF are you even looking for?

If I were your neighbour I would train my dog to bark all the time just for the comedy factor, seeing you rush up with your chair whilst I was sitting in my house pissing myself laughing.

BonkeyHasGOLDMollocks · 07/08/2012 23:51

But...but... you don't have a right to look over his fence.

Its surely a invasion of privacy???

TantrumsAndOlympicGoldBalloons · 07/08/2012 23:52

How could you see that the house was locked up from over a fence?

Do you have X-ray vision?

WorraLiberty · 07/08/2012 23:52

garlic!!! Grin

garlicnuts · 07/08/2012 23:53

xposted. Damn, your neighbour's reasonable! Count yourself lucky.

No, you shouldn't look over his fence as you have no right to.

If you really like snooping and who doesn't please take some of the excellent undercover advice on this thread :)

Chrishassix · 07/08/2012 23:53

Gosh. No, I have looked twice to see why a dog has been barking for several hours.
If that makes me a strange, then you have to recalibrate your weirdometer.
