about my neighbour filming DH?

[PurpleStorm]

Dh went out this morning to clear snow - he spent quite a while clearing snow from our drive and the road / pavement just outside.

While he was outside, DS woke up from his nap, so I went into his room, opened the curtains - and spotted what looked like the neighbour across the road filming DH on a mobile phone from one of their upstairs windows. Given the way the neighbour had his phone pressed to the window, it's difficult to imagine what else he was doing.

DH has cleared snow before, so it's not a new sight. AIBU to think neighbour is being a bit odd? I'm pretty sure it can't be normal to film your neighbour's activities.

Birds that's a common urban myth. If you show you had a the balance of safety in your mind ie the risk of uncleared impacted snow vs cleared but possibly icy surface, then you are OK.

If a surface is thoroughly cleared & salt put down it will be fine.

Letter here to a local paper:

I would like to make it clear that under health and safety legislation nobody who volunteers to support their community by clearing pavements during icy conditions should feel they are in danger of being sued

The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) encourages a common sense approach to health and safety, and agrees with your reader that "clearing the snow and ice...makes it easier for people to get about."

HSE is focused on the real safety risks at work, and we think it is ridiculous that people should feel prevented from helping others, through a fear of being held responsible for an accident

This was taken from the HSE website BTW!

The whole being sued for clearing your path is an urban myth. In fact our local council now has a little mini snow plough specifically for clearing paths.

Or maybe, just maybe.... he was trying to get a signal on his phone?!

No?

Perhaps its a new phone and he wanted you to see it and be impressed, in the hope that his new gadget would pave the way for you to ask for his number, probably using a complicated hand gesture system and mouthing.

He waited until your DH was out so you wouldn't get cought taking his number.

He's hoping you will phone him so he can run away with you to the caymans using the tickets he brought on a whim just after buying the phone when you turn down his kind offer due to you being married, he is going to be despondent and throw his phone hard at the pavement your DH cleared.

Rest assured he will never talk to either of you again.

Purple could you see both of the neighbours hands? Sounds really sinister, could he have been filming and wanking over one of the neighbours?.

The law was the same where we lived in Germany. We had to clear the entire footpath the length of our unnecessarily long front boundary, plus a metre wide path from the street to our front door.

We're now in the UK and I've done the same here.

How odd!

Your neighbour was taking a pic of a snowy day to bore everyone shitless with on Facebook. They will probably be all when their friends ask 'who is the hunk of spunk clearing your path'.
