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?

When I was a wee nipper I used to do things in a long-winded or odd way such as trying to fill a glass of water from the tap with a spoon because I was 8 and it was kind of more fun than using the tap. I wonder if he's just really immature and thinks that hopping the wall and using OP's drive more fun than using the NDN's drive properly, without realising it's rude and out of order?

If it doesn't stop him, I'd definitely have a word with your local PCSO.

Is there anywhere to hide with a hose ready so you can soak the fucker?

Don't soak him with anything, tempting as it might be.

Yes he's a tit and has to stop using your property as a walkway but don't resort to childish measures.

Haha at soaking the fucker with the hose. The wheel bin cleaning man is due this afternoon do you think if I slip him a tenner he will accidentally spray the fucker for me? Bearing in mind he cleans the bin on our driveway/path then puts the bin in the bin cupboard.

Well he shouldnt be on your drive anyway so if he gets soaked thats his problem

He's a cheeky bugger and he knows it.

I'd be getting out the super soaker and firing it from the window at the point he gets stuck by your pot.

I don't want to confront him myself if I am honest. This is irrelevant to the garden situation but I am 32 weeks pregnant with a complicated pregnancy due to very low laying placenta have been on bed rest a lot, just don't want ti risk getting knocked by this idiot

Op, if those huge pots are ceramic ones should you really be moving them in your condition? Hope you're ok.

Wait and see what this afternoon brings. But - any more nonsense and I'd be over to the parents. Yep he may be an adult but there's your conversation right there...

'Sorry to bother you but need to have a word about WeirdBoy. I don't know if you know that he trespasses over our garden to get to the car. He's now knocked into my four year old and hurt her and this morning scalded my DH by knocking coffee over him. We've obviously asked him to stop but he doesn't seem to understand - I'm not even sure he can speak-?

We're going to talk to the PCSO about it but wanted to speak to you first as if he can't understand what he's doing then that changes things. But should he be driving if he can't work out what is a garden and what is a pathway? Either way he's hurt two people now while trespassing and has refused to leave the property so we need to let you know that we'll be taking this further if we need to if it doesn't stop.'

'Accidentally' get him with the hose. It's not your fault if you're hosing the garden and some prick decides to walk across it

Not much longer to wait now, he should be arriving sometime in the next 30 minutes. I am just about to start my iron in the kitchen which just happens to be situated in between 2 rather large plant pots.

Or put what Fizzy said in a note and put it through the door....you might want to add that you'll be installing CCTV.

My guess is unless he's practicing parkour he's doing it because he thinks it makes him cool and querky.

Obviously it doesn't - it makes him an entitled shitbag.

I'd contact the neighbours and buy a super soaker. You'd get a great line of sight from your window

sixties I got my dad to move the plant pots as they would be way to heavy for me. He is popping in the morning after a trip to the garden centre to sort the plants for me.

Not placemarking at all!

Your passiveness is frustrating me! I'd open the front door in his face while simultaneously getting the kids to water bomb him with stagnant pond water followed by a flour bomb and a tray of tar.
But that's just me

Feeling better about it already.

Actually, can I come round OP?

Oooh, this is getting exiting!

Ahh, thank goodness for your Dad. You didn't mention him earlier, so it sounded as though you had moved them.

What does your dad think of all this?

Wicks

Black treacle might work in place of the tar? I'd also be tempted to use the contents of the hoover rather than flour....

Op I am in awe of how calm you are at that stage of pregnancy!

When I was pg I would have been concealed in the garden throwing spiky chestnuts at him by now!
