Neighbour constantly walking through my front garden.

[Light69]

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?

he isn't their son so not their responsibility

What a depressing, pathetic attitude!

YAY for Army Dad!!!!!

Another one here with a crush on army-dad 👋

He definitely sounds like the type who can't bear to be told what to do.

I think he'll be back.

NDN might like to know what a total dick their DD is seeing.

Although given he has such massive proportions of dickness it's hard to believe they don't already know.

Your Dad is a star! I was going to suggest a sprinkler, either one you can operate from inside the house or one that has a motion sensor (cat deterrent) . But your Dad is a much better option. Does he have a fan club?

Will the neighbours listen? He's clearly a tw8t, wouldn't want my daughter involved with such, and if she was he wouldn't be staying over! If he's in their house surely they can have a word!
CCTV - isn't trespassing illegal, as I think is parking over someone's dropped curb if it blocks them. Sorry I guess the police are pretty busy but could someone come out and ticket him so he doesn't do it again?

Please give you dad a hug, from the UK, he is FAB.

It was just my opinion he stays inside to catch him Willow, not sure why you picked up on it in the first place . Not sure what you mean by we're both "right" either .

Glad your dad will be around a lot Light. I don't think he's going to go easily.

I luffs your Dad ... "by gosh you've got it boy"

Trespassing is not illegal (i.e. not a crime), but it is a civil wrong.

Talking of Clint Eastwood, I now have a picture of your Dad brandishing a hose and saying "Come on kid, make my day".

So glad you've got your dad there OP! Sounds like you could do without the stress!

Your dad is a bloody legend!!

Justmuddling

That's EXACTLY how I picture him too!

Justmuddlingalong has it !

But I agree with the few who have think that this is more of a mental health/some other issue as opposed to twatishness .

Has your Sgt Major Dad got any Gurkha mates for when he goes off duty?

He'd be delivered next door trussed like a chicken. Possibly/ possibly not with his giblets.

Bullshit. He's been asked nicely, he's been told, he's been ordered by SgtM Dad and he's still at it. Straight up rudeness and entitled behaviour.

OP you should hire your dad out, you'd make a mint!

Your Dad is fantastic! Don't mess with a Sgt Maj no matter the age. 'Do you want my award or the other sonny?' As he goes behind hedge and gives him a punch lol

I think your dad may have found a new career - Mumsnet Superman. He could swoop in to solve all irritating neighbour issues involving trespassing, noise, parking and bin disputes. He's already got his catch phrase what do you think you are doing young man?

Same
Yep I agree he is checking to make sure no one is around, insulted op for daring to obstruct his way, and even after being told a million times he is still doing it. He isn't taking a shorter, faster, safer route he is going out of his way to take a longer route just to annoy op.

Every time some rude git does something on mn people try to excuse it with mh problems. People of all ages can be brats or entitled gits without any mn issues. Its really quite insulting to people with mh issues to assume it turns them all into aggressive, rude, ignorant gits.

This reminds me of my old neighbours. BF kept leaving a bike up the side of our house and jumping over our back gate and through our garden to get in their open back door (open because they left their pitbull x in the garden all day).

I called the police, got the bike seized as told them didn't know whose it was or how it got there. He had to provide proof it was his to get it back, which as he was dodgy he couldn't do

Went round and spoke to the dad, he tried to claim we were in the wrong as his deeds said they had a right of access, I said 'oh right because when there is a right of access across our property it should mention it on our deeds. If you get a copy of your deeds from land registry I'll have a look'

And it never happened or was mentioned again. Daughter and loser BF moved out.

Just read this whole thread!

You're dad sounds awesome! Go Dad!!

Hopefully twat boy has got the message now....totally disrespectful to you!!

I almost fainted at 'her exit being blocked"
