To wonder what's with all the reporting lately?

[D0oinMeCleanin]

Neighbours kids call round to fill up on your junk cupboard? Report them to SS. They must be starving their kids.

New partner, loads of handbags? - Report them for benefit fraud. Something must be up.

Tenants having a bad day, dog poo left in the garden? Report them to environmental health and try and evict them.

Whatever happened to talking to your neighbours? Offering a helping hand? AIBU is just full of "friends" reporting each other for the most spurious reasons atm. Is this what that big society thing was meant to be about?

Oh I agree. So much reporting all over the place.

Report the neighbors kids for playing in their own garden and making noise. Better yet, take the black book out and 'log' all incidents. I can't imagine people in rl doing this.

101 is supposed to be for non life threatening or non urgent police worthy matters. For example if there is a man in your shop threatening to knock your teeth out because you won't give him a full meal for £1 you dial 999 not 101. If the man is in a drunken stupor and trying to sleep on your shop that is what 101 is for. We had an interesting Christmas time at work last year

I think I will set up a useful and community-spirited 'get a grip' helpline for people having the vapours because a 15 year old sat on a swing or someone's dog barked once on a sunday.

It will be 000 and will staffed by unflappable types saying things like 'Ah come on now, it's not so bad' in smiley voices.

MN does seem to be a bit trigger-happy at times - It's so odd, I don't know as many people in RL who are so eager to make others' lives miserable.

I'm reporting my neighbour for his noisy exhaust. It fell off his motorbike and was squashed by a lorry. He showed me.

I'm reporting the lorry as well.

I didn't laugh oh no not at all

maybe all these habitual 'reporters' are my ex-mil...
