To want my neighbour to get out of my garden?

[TripTrapTripTrapOverTheBridge]

I've got a couple of lads cutting the grass in my gardens at the no (at a bargain price too!) and one of my neighbours from a few doors up and across the road has decided to invite himself into my gardens to chat. He spent 30 minutes stood in my front garden,half of the time stood in silence,just observing, and now the lads have moved to the back he's followed then round and is now stood in my back garden while they cut the grass..

I think he's an annoying idiot and I don't want him loitering in my garden! Am I going to look bad if I ask him to leave or should I just point to the table and chairs and tell the weirdo to at least make himself comfortable if he feels the need to watch the lads?!

tell him he's trespassing

he's a rude bastard so yes, open the window and say is can i help you? No! Piss off from my garden then !

haven't you got a gate? Has it got a padlock?

He's just offered to sweep the path. Told him I don't have a broom and he should probably leave the guys to it. Hopefully he'll be gone in a minute,I had to get back inside to ds.

There are a couple of weird guys in my street,creeps me out

Cheeky bugger, tell him you'd like to to leave your property.

Not at the no piglet recently had new fence done and rendering on the house after,so waiting for new gate to be put on the side of the house atm

OP, stop being Vague Tell him to GET OUT

I really would speak to his other half/sister. If he behaves oddly generally - and this is odd in itself - then they need to know officially.

Why don't you call the workmen in to ask them something and then he might get the hint and leave.

I think he sounds odd, yes, but mostly he sounds lonely.

Can you go back to his place with him (take his arm and say 'C'mon, home if you want that cup of tea') and gently but firmly leave him there, after a quiet word with his other half/sister?

I feel a bit sorry for him.

He's gone. One of the lads told him to go.

Never know what to say to him tbh, he's a bit odd and had a bit of a blow out with the other weird guy in the street,they like to talk about each other to anyone they can! He told me he had three kids who all died (one run over,two died as babies),other guy tells everyone they are all alive but we're taken into care,that kinda thing

Poor man, sounds like he just wants to chat. Some horrid responses on here about what's basically just a lonely person who's not very good at reading social cues.

That kid thing is wierd

Exactly choochi it's part of the reason I'm never sure what to say to him becaus you keep getting differing weird stories and he is quite blaze about the kids.He told me the first time he saw me-while hanging out of his bedroom window

I know altinkum it's very sad they talk about each other like that and I end up feeling sorry for both of them but also highly confused,unsure of them and being wary of getting 'involved'. They did live next door to each other but the guy in my garden moved a few doors down (yes,really) due to their disputes with each other

God it gets weirder ..plus how many people have every child die? And if they are all in care theres obviously a reason he doesn't want people to know.

I think this is exactly how malicious gossip starts! People not really knowing anything and constructing stories around the flimsiest of evidence, based on behaviour we perceive to be 'weird' aka different from how we think people should behave.

Very true only ! Even just keeping yourself to yourself can lead to all sorts of things being said about you,makes you an easy target too!

yes to onlylovers post

In my street there's this brash, arrogant, loudmouthed 'all the women in this street love me' type of twat, who behaves just like OP's man was doing. So I pictured him as that type.. Feel rotten now, he sounds troubled and perhaps a little desperate.

He could be sours it's just hard to tell what's going on with those two guys talking the way they do! I don't even know this guy's name though tbh!!!
