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

[Babyiwantabump]

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 .

Shameless place mark!

Anyone else wishing OP's Friday's bin day would hurry up? So what's the plan OP? Decided yet?

Yes me! I can't wait for the next instalment of bin gate!

Has your husband booked FRiday off yet?

if not why not??

Oh my god what awful neighbours OP. New gate around their bins is definitely the way to go then they will have to knock on your door. You do seem fairly patient though, I'm not and would have (eventually) lost my temper and kicked bins all around the entry whilst swearing loudly

You're not being unreasonable. I hate my neighbour. I wasn't even pregnant when I heard her nagging my husband (who was cutting the hedge given she never does it) for using "her bins". They're not hers, they're communal, and I bloody ordered them.

To be honest I don't remember getting out of the house. The mist descended. Within minutes I'd called her an evil witch (there's history), she told me to F off and die, so I dropped the F bomb and the C bomb. I stormed back into the house.

Husband left me to calm down and then asked if I'd like to go to McDonalds for a treat. SCORE. Bad behaviour pays. Wonder what kind of mother I'm going to make. You are entirely reasonable to get angry about whatever you like.

They need chaining together TO THE MAIN OFFENDER's FRONT DOOR OR FENCE with a "how do you like hosting everyone's bins on your property??" Sign.

I only read the first page of the thread but from the map it looks like this is happening because there is a hole in the poster's fence so the solution is fll up the hole and then they cannot actually get on to your land at all.

Do check though if you own all the land. one my children is buying a property where you own the house (as set out on the plan) and you own the garden but you don't own a strip of land between the two and nor do neighbours on theirs so that in theory people can bring their bins round the backs of the houses to the front (it's a terrace). It looks like no one seems to use those bits of land for that actually but the deeds do make it clear you don't own those few feet between your back door and the garden.

dog I do own the land - I have the deeds as the bank no longer hold them and the land is within my boundary

Loving the miniature bin idea!!

Just putting my towel on this thread ready for Friday...

Can you still get live maggots from fishing tackle shops?

I'd hate it if my bin was full of maggots

Alfresco Don't need to buy them. I'll send a few of our cats' innocent victims.

If you stick something dead in a bin, and leave the lid open (actually you don't need do this - flies will get in anyway, but an open lid will speed the process) within a day the entire bin will be crawling with maggots.

(I always double-bag corpses, but DH tends to just chuck 'em in. The day I opened the bin to put something in, only to find the lid, sides and contents a seething mass of white wriggling horror, was the day he learned never to do it again.)

I have to admit that I SCREAMED!

As I see it there are two issues here:

1. A group of neighbours bin prefects who seem to think it's ok to move all the bins on the street onto your land
2. Nasty bastard cat killer

Is the nasty bastard cat killer's bins one of those being moved to your land? I think I would get all of the bins and tip the contents over nasty bastard's garden/drive/gate and leave a note to blame it on the bin prefects - result! Alternatively the superglue trick sounds good - do it when the bins are full and add some stones if possible to increase the weight so they're really heavy to handle. Good luck. (So sorry to hear about your gorgeous cat.)

Don't sink to their level or this may escalate. Secure the boundaries(ex military types are good) and, if you know which houses the bins belong to, pop a polite note through the letterbox about the bin dumping

I love the miniature bin swap idea!!!

Get some of these, screw them to your shed and fence, then loop a rope between them, to block the opening. They'd have a bloody brass neck to interfere with that. Should I say a BIGGER brass neck?

Solution!

Shamelessly place marking for bin day 😊

Me an' all! Fancy a gin Mrs Darcy? It's made from berries. Counts as one of your five-a day.

God. Am I the only one who cannot WAIT until tomorrow?

crosses legs

No, I'm on tenterhooks, here, too!
