to wish my neighbour would, at the very least

[Wideopenspace]

..take my friggin rubbish out EVERY time or, preferably, NOT AT ALL.

I have never asked him to do it. But he does. Irregularly. He's clearly just being kind, so I don't want to upset him by telling him to stop, but it's REALLY annoying when he's done it for 3 weeks, but then the morning I am late, and it is bin day, HE DOESN'T.
Or, he doesn't do it it for a bit, and when I whip out of the front door in my underwear PJs to stick something in the bin, he has taken them all to the pavement.

First world problems folks, but AIBU?

Yes my neighbours do this takes the bins out brings them back it but today they didnt bother. Im not arsed as its blue bin day and it isnt full.
Ive never asked asked them to take my bin out the just do it. Ive done it a few times for them but would rather not bother as taking 6 out ( I live in a block of flats) is a pain and I would rather just take mine out.

My neighbour does this. He puts them out nearly always (but not quite always). I never assume he will though and always go out anyway. I think you'll have to do the same. I think it's really kind of him. It's still a nice feeling even when I do pop out to see it's been wheeled out already!

Why is it so obvious twinkle?

at bugging your house. Maybe he sneaks a peek at you nipping out in your underwear, knowing your bin is already by the kerb!

My sister's neighbour mowed her front lawn a few weeks ago. She has no idea why as they do it frequently themselves and are very 'neat' people. Sadly he hasn't done it since .

I think you should take your neighbour's bin out this week or just do something 'helpful' so it's not one sided. Sounds like you have a great neighbour to be honest.

just

You can't work out whether you are unreasonable for being annoyed at your neighbour doing you a wee favour now and then. It literally makes no difference to your life apart from making it easier occasionally. I think it's pretty obvious you are being unreasonable.

OK twinkle. I was literally being lighthearted. Perhaps I should have pointed that out..

Still think it is annoying though

So what your trying to say is occasionally acts of kindness are not acceptable to you. If someone wants to do you a favour occasionally they should undertake to do it consistently, always and forever more otherwise it is unappreciated by you and they should not do it at all?

YABU. But you can get your back on him by sometimes watering his geraniums and sometimes leaving them to dry out. He will slowly get the message that to do anything occasionally is unacceptable. This is why I always eat chocolate every single day. To miss a day would be unreasonable.

It could be worse.My neighbour used to bring my bins in.
We had the ordinary household waste bin , a garden waste bin, a recycling plastic box, a blue bag for cardboard and a yellow one for paper. She always muddled my bins/bags up with other people's.
In the end I made a stencil and sprayed my house number on some good ones.

I get it. I used to always get my own water for next to my bed at night-time. Then DH started doing it for me... mostly. He would do it consistently for ages, until I was lulled into a false sense of security, then just when I started not bothering to check (which you would think should be easy as all it involves is glancing at the bedside table before collapsing into the bed), I would be happily settling down, decide to have a sip of water, and lo and behold... NO WATER!!!! Argh! Have told him that now he has started doing me the favour, he should consider himself committed to it now!!!

Put my rubbish out, even things up.
