It's a parking one...

[CommunistLegoOoOoBloc]

Permitted parking round here, very few off-street spaces as it's mostly terraces. Sometimes impossible to park and I end up a few streets away. Fine, I can walk easily and I just accept that sometimes I will have to do so.

But our neighbours are just taking the piss! This is their solution to not being able to park outside their house all the time - obviously they think it's their right

WIBU to melt their bins down and remould them into car shapes? Any other ideas?! I've just moved them as I actually needed to park, but it keeps happening!

Yup a pair of small fires should do the trick.....

I'd hide their bins. But I'm petty.

I did it really, really quietly.

Dunno if they'd be aggressive - they don't seem that way inclined but I've seen seemingly reasonable people flip, so who knows?

Melting is the way forward.

Yeah I would also take the bins away for a "little holiday"

I could post them pictures of the bins wearing sunglasses and flower garlands, enjoying a cocktail.

I'm petty too. But there's not really anywhere to hide them and I don't want to be accused of theft. Which it sort of would be, although I'd be very kind towards the bins - see above.

You could move them, park your car then knock on their door and say 'some vandal must have been chucking wheeley bins around, don't worry I've picked yours up from the road where they left them'

Woop! A parking thread

Move them and park. It's a no brainer.

DB works for my local council highway department-he says its obstruction of the highway and his lot would come and take them away. Report it to your council with the photo.

Cover them completely with googly eyes.

Yes, I'd helpfully and cheerfully pick up the bins that had unfortunately blown over into the road

Pop an anonymous note through their door:

"Dear neighbour, your bins had been blown into the road, so I've picked them up and put them back in X place for you."

Then you can claim if asked "Oh no! The road was clear when I arrived, but it's probably not a good idea to block the highway like that - I think it's illegal." [Concerned face]

They're weird with their bins. The other week there was a note 'to the bin men' attached to the top of one of them, saying that the mirror that had been left on top of the bin (on BIN DAY) was a family heirloom and could it please be returned. I mean wtf?!

Hire a skip, park it there, and chuck the bins in it.

gazelda googly eyes!

Pmsl! Now that's something you don't see every day.

Be nice and remind them it's illegal. Then just move them, then inform the police if they persist.

I did move them but I resent having to get out of my car and pick up grim bins every few days, and I also resent that they think they get to 'reserve' a parking space

Put them back with a note attached saying
"I noticed your bins had blown over in the wind so I've put them back for you - no need to thank me :) "

They are absolute cunts!!!! I'd knock on their door and tell them their bins had blown over so you've retrieved them and returned them home, and could they keep an eye on your car which is parked outside their house, just in case there are bin pranksters who might cause damage to it.

Fill them with helium balloons. Every time they do it.

xpost with Rhoda!

Actually not helium, as that would make it too easy to remove

A lot of these suggestions are bordering on genius, but quite erm...expensive.

I have a terrible vision of myself crouched in the gutter at 3am manically sticking thousands of googly eyes onto bins

I wonder if the council could send them a letter reminding them that they don't own the space outside their house and that leaving bins in the road is illegal.
