Aibu if I poison his fish

Fully aware poisoning his fish probably would be unreasonable. This might be long 😬

I moved here 2 years ago and since I moved in my downstairs neighbour has been nothing but an aggressive pain in my arse.

To give some details -
He kicked off that my wheelie bins weren't where he wanted them. So he moved them. I moved them back because they weren't in the way and they were that way when I moved in anyway. He kept repeatedly moving my bins to where he wanted them until I just gave up. And left them where he wanted them.

Next he decided my 2yos baby trampoline couldn't be in MY front garden because it would "attract burglars". He moved it into my back garden. Won't allow me to keep anything in my front garden or in the back garden if it can be seen from the road (?? We live in a cul de sac!)

I put an old stroller out with the bins to go with the rubbish. Council would have taken it btw. He banged on my door demanded I move it. Wouldn't listen when I said it's to go with the rubbish. Kicked right off so I put it back in the shed. It's still in my shed.

My washing machine was on one evening. About 7.30pm, it was on a long cycle which I didn't realise when I put it on about 6pm when we got back from nursery cba DS had had an accident. Downstairs starts banging on the ceiling. Then proceeds to try and kick my front door in! I rang police. And informed housing officer.

He bangs on the ceiling about everything. DS is 4 now, if he dances too loud or falls over downstairs bangs on the ceiling.

Downstairs regularly decides I've done something 'wrong' and starts braying up my front door or banging the ceiling. Even if I'm just sat watching tv he'll start over nothing.

And the most recent. My flat got broken into, had csi out and everything. No prints but they suspect it was my anusive ex who I've fled from. So the social services and police had an external camera And flood light fitted. Where I live in an upstairs flat I had no choice in where it could be fitted, I wanna make that bit clear. If I could have had it fitted on my wall I would've and I didn't ask the electrician to put it on one of my walls but it would have been inaccesible (I need to be able to get sd card out And view footage) and would only have shown the tops of people's heads whichever would be inadmissible in court.

He's kicked off. He's broken one camera leading to it being replaced. He covers it at night time. He's fucked it up so it doesn't record overnight anymore, the files are all corrupt. And now he's blocked my access to the camera.

To be fair too him, where it had to be placed is technically on 'his' wall. Which is housing association wall but ykwim. The housing officer has said it's fine where it is but neighbours kicked off that much both to housing officer and to me that housing are saying it's got to come down.

Everyone on the street knows it's there for my protection and safety. It's been fully explained to downstairs neighbour. But he doesn't gaf he just refuses to allow me to keep it.

So, wibu to poison his fish and post them through his letterbox

That felt good to get out!

YWBU to hurt the fish. Poison him and post him back through the door Wink

If you can get a rat under his floorboards that'll make him want to move.
They smell fucking awful.

Suppose the break in was your ex..... then really the sw or whoever deals with that sort of thing should be finding you another safer place to live - which would be a win-win situation with regard to the bully downstairs. Espercially as he is vetoing the security measures necessary to keep you safe.

If you mentioned what was happening to the biker in my life, he and a couple of mates would knock on your neighbour's door, explain that the camera etc are there for a reason, and politely ask that he please ensures that it isn't tampered with. No threats - but given he was OK when you had your Harley friend visiting, the bellend would probably listen.

SailAwayWithMeHoney · 10/04/2017 20:36

The biker was off the scene before the camera was fitted and we aren't friends anymore. My friends OH has offered to go around and have a polite word, but I don't want to piss downstairs off. The neighbours have tried having a word to no avail.

Meluzyna the sw has offered, and even started the process of having me moved. I couldn't move immediately after the break-in because of legal stuff going on at the time, that's why ss approved funding for the camera to be fitted among other things, to safeguard us in our home. There's a huge part of me that doesn't want to move again, me and DS are finally in our own home again. Since meeting my ex 6 years ago I've lived in 8 different places, been sofa surfing and been in refuge. I don't want to uproot DS again unless it becomes absolutely necessary (there's been no further break-ins and no sightings of ex in the area since and I've now got an injunction with POA). Obviously if my ex turned up tonight, we'd be gone within 24hours, but until/unless that happens, I don't want to have to move again?

I've considered moving again to get away from downstairs but who's to say I wouldn't end up with an even worse neighbour?

I may seriously reconsider letting my friends OH talk to him.
