Neighbour constantly walking through my front garden.

I am not sure if my dh was being unreasonable for shouting at him this morning so here it goes. Not 100% sure if it is my neighbours eldest son or there daughters boy friend. He sleeps there most nights but doesn't appear to have house keys, I know this because he sits in his car at the bottom of my drive waiting to be let in. So he went through a stage of what ever side of the drive I parked in he would park directly behind me across the bottom of the drive blocking me in. This made it difficult to get off the drive as I was blocked in and had to kind of edge backwards and forwards to move the car to the otherside of the drive to reserve off it safely. We have a dropped kerb that runs the whole width of the drive but this didn't seem to bother him. I started reversing on to make it easier to pull off and out of the blue he stopped doing it. He has now moved on walking through our front garden to get to and from this car. So he comes out of their house steps over a small wall and walks right over my front door step and behind my car. He will push my kitchen windows in if they are open wide so he can fit behind the car easier then trotts off down the drive. On occasion if we have been leaving at the same time he has bumped into my dc or I have had to step back to stop him walking into me, I have asked him to stop but he doesn't. So this morning when dh was leaving for work he did it again and dh lost his temper and shouted at him and swore a bit, was dh in the wrong for this and how would you deal with the situation?

I am sooooo delighted with this thread. I just love good common sense, sound judgement.

I wish there were more people like your Dad in this world!

Still laughing at 'is he a dog?'.

BillyButtfuck · 17/05/2017 13:55

I can't believe the cheek of these people

Aebj · 17/05/2017 14:01

Your dad is amazing.

SDTGisAnEvilWolefGenius · 17/05/2017 14:03

I'm not place marking for today's rematch of TwatBoy vs ArmyDad - ohhh no! Grin

ThomasRichard · 17/05/2017 14:11

How strange. What a horribly arrogant person to persist in his trespassing after being confronted 3 times!

amusedbush · 17/05/2017 14:32

The young guy sounds like a massive tool, and as for calling you a petty bitch Shock! Just goes to show he knows exactly what he's doing, the little turd.

Your dad is a bloody legend though Grin

He arrived back about 10 minutes ago, dad was trimming the hedge at the house end so the opposite end to where twat boy parks. He got out of his car and looked around but couldn't see dad because he was on the end of the hedge by the house. He didn't get the chance to come into the garden because dad thought twat boy was going to make a move as he wad looking around our garden so he appeared from the end of the hedge. He made twat boy jump which I think he took a bit more pleasure in than he should of. Twat boy hurried off down the pavement and entered next door by the correct route. Dad gave him a clap and a cheer and shouted by gosh you have got it boy, twat boy didn't take his eyes off the ground the whole time. I am thinking the message may be sinking in now that he is not allowed to use my garden as a cut through and that my dad is not a man to be messed with.

I love your Dad Grin

LaContessaDiPlump · 17/05/2017 14:44

I have got a wonderful mental image of your dad lurking behind the hedge, lying in wait for TwatBoy...... you realise that TwatBoy must think your dad is quite, quite mad?

I hink he's bloody brilliant myself Grin

Bringmewineandcake · 17/05/2017 14:44

Love it Grin
Your dad is a hero Star

Willow2017 · 17/05/2017 14:45

Go Sgt Major Dad Smile

He is freaking awesome Grin

Bet that idiot wet his pants. What was he thinking, looking around to see if anyone could see him so he could do it again? Thick as pigshit!

Willow2017 · 17/05/2017 14:46

You DO know you have to keep this thread going all week so we can all live vicariously through your dad dont you?

MargotLovedTom1 · 17/05/2017 14:49

I honestly think he'll start it all up again when he realises your dad has gone. Arsehole.

GiraffeorOcelot · 17/05/2017 14:51

Hehe Grin

Willow2017 · 17/05/2017 14:53

Do keep notes on everything that has happened even the looking around to see if anyone can see him shit, then if he does start up again you can go to police and have them have a 'quiet word' throw the book at him about trespassing, intimidation etc.

DerelictWreck · 17/05/2017 14:55

this thread is hilarious! And making procrastinating at work very enjoyable!

Stormtreader · 17/05/2017 14:57

The fact hes looking around means hes fully intending to go back to doing it if he thinks your dad isnt there - get those plant pots planted up with something spiky!

smashyourglasses · 17/05/2017 15:00

Brilliant Grin

Neolara · 17/05/2017 15:02

I think I love your Dad just a little bit.

TheHodgeoftheHedge · 17/05/2017 15:07

I absolutely love your dad! Hurrah for him!

Elphaba99 · 17/05/2017 15:09

I love your Dad, OP. By any chance does he want to adopt another daughter? ❤️

Light69 · 17/05/2017 15:12

I don't think dad is going to give him the chance to start it up again he is taking way to much pleasure from it. My parents will be around a lot in the coming weeks, especially after the baby is born as she will be arriving be c-section as her exit is blocked.

"even the looking around to see if anyone can see him shit"

Well! I hope he doesn't start doing that in the OP's garden! I would be worried that he will scratch her car though, but then I am a pessimist.

FurryLittleTwerp · 17/05/2017 15:19

Your dad is excellent - I particularly like his use of piss-taking sarcasm Grin
