To expect my neighbours to bring my bin in?

Just arrived home from work, 6pm. It's bin day and like every week none of my neighbours (all retired but fit and well) bring my bin in. It's always left on the street causing obstruction.
I just know that if I was at home all day everyday id ring someone else's bin in if they were at work all day.

I am going to assume this is bait. No one can be that self entitled.

Thornrose · 29/07/2016 18:04

My upstairs neighbour and me tend to take turns. If he sees my bin isn't out on time he'll put it out. If I see his out after emptying and I know he's at work I'll bring it in.

It's give and take though. What do you "give" OP?

YABU mine don't bring mine in, I wouldn't never expect them too either.

Ellioru I must admit my GF klaxon went off

I bet the fuckers don't mow your lawn either! Lazy gits!

littleprincesssara · 29/07/2016 18:09

It would never even occur to me to touch someone else's property!

I'm gobsmacked at how mean spirited most posters are, it's a few seconds that helps lots of people, especially the disabled.

Bins left on the pavement all day is advertising the fact you're not at home.

You have to be joking! I lived in a block of flats, every bin day I seemed to be the only person who remembered to put out all 7 sodding bins, however late I was running. One other neighbour who was generally home before me then noticed them and brought all 7 bins back in - 5 of the people in the flats never did anything.
I love living in my own detached house now, my bin, my problem. I reckon I'm better off by 5 bin moves a week! Our neighbour opposite is home all day, I absolutely don't expect her to move our bin. If we were going away for a week or two the weekend before bin Monday I might ask nicely if she'd be willing to do it and I'd happily do the same in return or buy her a small thank you.

My elderly neighbours do - but then I'm really nice to them ....

MistressMerryWeather · 29/07/2016 18:12

I always bring my neighbors bin in. It's a bit odd for them to just leave it out there causing an obstruction.

You can't expect these things though.

CrazyDuchess · 29/07/2016 18:12

Sometimes I do love weekends on MN

noisyrice · 29/07/2016 18:15

What the fuck?

It's your bin you twat. You've been at work? So what..do the bin before you open the door.

attsca · 29/07/2016 18:16

Does where you live in the country affect people's views on this I wonder?

MistressMerryWeather · 29/07/2016 18:17

Is this going to be one of those threads where people fall over themselves to see who can be they nastiest?

Cringe.

BlackDoglet · 29/07/2016 18:21

Always take my neighbours in unless she's got there first! Depends who is home or is back home first.
We also mow each other's front lawns, if I'm out there dingy mine, it's no hardship to do another. And vice versa.
Just a neighbourly sort of thing to do.

Chewbecca · 29/07/2016 18:21

Are you kidding? YABU.

Bins left on the pavement all day is advertising the fact you're not at home.

Ours left on the pavement all day is advertising the fact I'm too lazy to go out to the road to get them and am hoping DH will do it when he gets home.

LyndaNotLinda · 29/07/2016 18:22

I put my disabled neighbour's bin in. But I would expect my neighbours to put my bin away - I'm able bodied and bins are smelly

BitOutOfPractice · 29/07/2016 18:24

If it's causing an obstruction surely it's more hassle to leave it than bring it in?

OP if it's any consolation I would bring it in for you, even though I'm in the unfriendly, unneighbourly south east though I doubt any of my miserable fucker neighbours would.

I am starting to think lots of people actually do believe that Thatcherist "there is no such thing as society" shit Sad

mrsfuzzy · 29/07/2016 18:25

to be honest you don't come across as nice person ,calling other people dicks,

BitOutOfPractice · 29/07/2016 18:25

*What the fuck?

It's your bin you twat.*

Just utterly charming

WeAllHaveWings · 29/07/2016 18:26

Depends, what do you do regularly for your neighbours other than call them dicks to promote this sense of community and helping each other you wish to achieve?

DameDiazepamTheDramaQueen · 29/07/2016 18:28

We always take both next door's bins down and they bring them up when they're emptied. I think yabu to expect them to do it.
