Sod a parking dispute - I bring you a fucking wheelie bin dispute.....

Absolutely fucking livid . Probably disproportionately so as I am hormonal but I don't care .

Background description :
House then back garden then garage then fenced area then entryway . All my boundary up to where my back fence meets the entryway. I am end terraced so entry runs down left hand side of garden and house too.

Have lived here many years . Not close with any neighbors . One on the left killed my cat other across the entry is pleasant . Say good morning and exchange pleasantries but no more than that .

Have been finding bins on my bit of land behind my house for a while - thought it may have been a mistake that neighbors might have thought it was my bin and put it there all nice as you do.

Today I have just watched several of my neighbors take the bins of people who are out at work or not in off the street and put them on my land! Like the area behind my garage is a fucking neighborhood bin store ! It's not !

It's my fucking land and AIBU to tell them to get the fuck to fucking fuck and fuck off some more!!!

And breathe .

I agree move them into her garden repeatedly Grin

sharkinthedark · 04/09/2016 21:26

Oh please do the gate plan - that would be hilarious! Grin

madcapcat · 04/09/2016 21:40

I still love mums plan of a row of here's. Even if you can't plant them I would be tempted to line the pots up all the way across the fence line so that she has to work harder to put the bins in your garden

AlfrescoBalconyWanker · 04/09/2016 21:54

Can you chain them all together? Push them off your garden and stick a bike chain through the handles and then see if anyone can move them. Make sure you leave them somewhere you can see from your house and then when the first person tries to move their bin you yell "how do you like them apples matey"

Babyiwantabump · 04/09/2016 22:17

Ooh ooh I could get some of those penguin bollards ! Does anyone remember them from a thread aaaages ago - I think it's in classics!

This just gets better and better! Grin

And if all else fails a Kalashnikov and a sniper's post on the garage roof remains an option.

IceBeing · 04/09/2016 22:19

Cannot believe they replaced them after you moved them - totally outrageous.

In other news I had dream about this thread...lots of people noisily moving bins and arguing about their placement...then it transpired they all needed moving so that filming for a samurai movie could begin...it was all blood and gore after that...so let your neighbours be warned!

When I woke up I realised it was our bin day and I hadn't put the blasted thing out...so did the usual pyjama bin shuffle of shame and thankfully got back in the house with no sightings.

Babyiwantabump · 04/09/2016 22:23

Oh it's not a classics . But the penguin bollards are a bit infamous.

Whatever you do don't google them!!

Just had to google penguin bollard images..ha ha!
Def dump all the offending bins in bin-bandit's drive / garden (ideally outside her front door..that will cause some pearl clutching!)
How about accidentally spilling some grey paint on the offending bin handles (assuming the bins are grey) whilst out on the street so the dragger has the mark of shame

purpleshortcake · 04/09/2016 22:33

Oops cross-posted with OP..looks like the flippin' penguin bollards are going to follow me around now

TiggyD · 04/09/2016 22:41

I think you should move them away from your property, then chain them loosely together. Very hard to move bins in mild bondage.

(Ever type a few words and then realise there's no way that anybody in the history of the world would ever have typed them before?)

So you're fairly certain you know who the culprit is...

I think I'd be tempted to use some of this uk.gorillaglue.com/gorilla-glue to glue the wheels of the offending bins to the pavement/ drive right outside their front door...

Hahahaha was just going to mention penguin bollards.

diddl · 05/09/2016 08:31

"OH wants to wait until all the bins are in there and then stick a new gate on! He works on a Friday though so he may have to request time off to do this ..."

Oooh, that would be so worth it for us Grin

KickAssAngel · 05/09/2016 15:04

I bet if you speak to her, she'll say "oh, we didn't think you'd mind. It's for the good of the neighbourhood" type thing.

But how can she possibly think you wouldn't mind if she didn't ask you? She told you it lowered the tone, then did the same thing. I'd be telling her that she's lowering the tone so far you're thinking of calling the police. You don't have to, of course, but just pointing out that she's breaking the law.

Are you sure you're not living in an out-take from Hot Fuzz ? It's for the greater good, you know.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 05/09/2016 15:43

I would invest in tons of cling film, and cling film the offending bins, as many layers as you can - maybe use some superglue between some of the layers. And underneath all the cling film, a note:

IF YOUR BIN IS PUT ONTO MY LAND AGAIN, BY YOU OR BY ANYONE ELSE, I WILL BE CHARGING YOU GROUND RENT.

YouTheCat · 05/09/2016 16:05

Clingfilm is evil. Grin

Can't you hide them after they're next emptied? Got a mate with a van and garage?
Magic them away for a bit and deny all knowledge when your neighbours come looking for them Grin you have no idea what bins they're talking about, but a lovely gardener came and cleared out your garden of all items the other day!
Give them a fright haha

Pipistrelle40 · 05/09/2016 23:34

Would be great to get miniature bins and hide the real ones, put mini ones on your land and then lurk nearby cackling evilly.
