Or are my neighbours complete IDIOTS 😂

[Lilianna123]

Another neighbourly dispute, same neighbours that claimed our cat was teasing their dog, and the same neighbours who accused us of stealing blackberries off their bush that happened to grow over my fence.

Well if I hadn't thought they were ridiculous before, I definitely do now.

Woke up this morning to find a note through the door saying they have had a new piano delivered and due to space they were limited on places it could go indoors (not our problem) they are saying where they have placed it is under a window and their view from the piano is a large oak tree which is in our garden. Their problem is that they are saying the many birds nests that are in this tree are distracting and these wild birds are making too much noise therefore distracting them from the piano.

There isn't even a suggestion in the note of what they'd like us to do about it. Not that I would even consider taking any action towards the tree but FFS what on earth are they doing? They don't have a bloody leg to stand on??

Place marking because I love this thread.

Agree with pps that say document everything though. Andy sounds like he could go from hilarious to scary in a heartbeat.

This is definitely a terrible idea, but I'd be tempted to do it anyway...

Could you per chance buy 3-4 bird feeders and a bird house to go into the offending tree? And wind chimes? Maybe put in some year-round fairy lights and cause a little light pollution too?

I think I'd be tempted to paint the tree with luminous paint so that it glows in the dark (assuming it wouldn't harm the tree - I know nothing about trees). And yes, wind chimes aplenty.

I would also be inclined to give the tree a name and sign all further correspondence from 'Terry Treeface'.

But tbh, disengaging is probably the most sensible idea (whilst making sure you stand your ground).

hilarious thread.

Ridiculous man child and his wife should have a bit of wit.

I'd certainly be screenshotting the FB stuff along with keeping the notes and also a log of anything that happens. This does have the potential to escalate.

First there was the note, then the second note, then the wife, the hedge trimming and now facebook updates from bora bora. Can this get any better?

"Their shit don't stink" is an American saying/phrase, I think. I'm surprised so many PP haven't heard it before!

Oooh, do the catfish thing where you Google Image search the yacht photos to see if they're real or not!

Dear Andy
Whilst you was on your hired yacht whilst on Facebook I have been trying to rectify the tree situation, I will need to get agreement from the local authority to remove the tree and a valid reason so I will show them your little notes. I will also assume you will be paying for the tree surgeon as the tree does not bother me, also we will need to inform house insurance to let them know the tree has gone. Also you do know birds are quite fond of where they decide to nest and they can migrate into loft spaces and garages and im not willing to lose my roof . I think we can breathe easily without the tree or can we?

If his is an open Facebook page, as you can see it despite not being his friend, i'd have expected to be able to find him via a fb search on that status update. Not a sausage - odd that

zoe
If you want to troll hunt, do it via the report button not on the thread...

Ah yes, heaven forbid the OP may change a few details to remain anonymous

Tell them the birds have also complained to you that the piano playing is disrupting their choir practice.

Who the hell do your neighbours think they are?!

It's a phrase I've heard before in the UK. It's naval - used to describe someone - usually a woman - who is a bit of a snob. ('She thinks her................')

Zoe....we are ALL enjoying this thread. Since you have nothing to do but troll hunt, do us all a favour and DO ONE!! oh and ive reported YOU.

Oooooh

Er...ok.

Another one here bemused by people not having heard 'their shit don't stink' before .

Anyone else remember the Outkast song Roses?

Is it troll-hunting to express scepticism at the increasingly bonkers turn of a thread?

Why actually yes, yes it is. I think that's sort of the definition of troll hunting as far as MN is concerned.

Oh, and me too Majik. 'Shit don't stink' is a commonly used figure of speech here.

Andy's pictures could be set to 'friends of friends' and he and OP have a mutual friend.

This is yet another example of a lot of people really enjoying a thread (whether they believe it or not) and one killjoy coming along and spoiling it.

Just one tiny little note of joy stamped out.

Good work

PMSL! Talk about an over reaction! " ittle bit of joy stamped out"? lololol.

I still want to hear what happens next :p
