To ask my neighbour to not put her bin out at 11pm

Because it's noisey as fuck and wakes me up. She gets home normal evening time so plenty of time to do it beforehand

Even preschoolers understand the concept of respecting other people and being quiet when others sleep. Even in a nursery they understand about "quiet time" when the babies are asleep, even if it is not their own bedtime.

Shame people grow up and turn nasty for the sake of it.

I cannot believe that people can get so wound up because of the time a person puts their bin out. Honestly you are really scraping the barrel there. Surely you must have other things to think about in your lives???

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 10/06/2017 15:28

Coddiwomple Are you okay?

Coddiwomple · 10/06/2017 15:31

I am very well DailyMail, why thank you. I have lovely neighbours so I can sleep as early or as late as I wish without being disturbed, it's bliss.
Is that such an alien concept for you?

I do have the upmost sympathy for those who have to put up with some of the posters on here

Whatsforu · 10/06/2017 15:33

Arrrghhh they wheeled a bin out!!!!! A brass band wasn't playing!!!!!

GahBuggerit · 10/06/2017 15:35

I'm a lovely neighbour. I just happen to put my bin out at 11pm, as I say surely better than 5am?

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 15:38

womple are you sure you are ok? I mean you are still calling me a nasty neighbour even when I've repeated I like to be quiet after 7pm and won't even play music at that time of night or Hoover. I think you just have eye sight issues, a visit to the opticians would be good for that.

Maybe have a lie down dear as you are getting a bit out of control with your anger and I worry you may hurt yourself.

Yup. I am the devil. Go shopping for my elderly neighbour. Put her bin out/take it back. Mind my neighbours houses whilst they're away. Have one car/one drive so don't encroach with parking. No music/loud parties.

But sure. Putting the bin out at 11 is totally unreasonable.

Oh Coddi. Bless you. 😂😭

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 15:43

I think the only upset I can be accused of on my street is when the non emergency ambulance turns up for my child and the elderly women across the road came out all worried bless them.

Other than that I'm quite a good neighbour. My children are loved by the neighbours across from us and even stop in town to talk to us. Also on a first name basis. Yes, you must be right though to determine I am horrible from that comfy seat of yours.

Coddiwomple · 10/06/2017 15:46

Lasagnabreath Nice try dear, but you do sound like an idiot.

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 15:47

Thanks. I guess.. an idiot couldn't do the things I have done. In fact some smart and intelligent people couldn't do the things I have done. Sure, I'm an idiot though.. not sure what scale you are basing my idiocy on, if you care to enlighten me I would be ever so greatful.

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 15:47

How old are you might I ask? Just to gage if you should be mature or not.

Whatsforu · 10/06/2017 15:50

Coddiwomple
You are just being nasty now and you say you are a considerate neighbour!!!! You don't sound very nice.

drinkswineoutofamug · 10/06/2017 15:52

I'm guilty . I put my bin out at 5.30 am weekly as I get up for work. I can't put it out the night before as there's no space outside our house . I try to be as quiet as possible. But my neighbour can not complain to me as they seem to forget a thing called door handles and slam their front door every time and their washing machine is on early morning and late at night.

Whatsforu · 10/06/2017 15:57

Whatever happened to a bit of give and take. Life can be hard enough without a stuffy neighbour complaining because somebody dared to move after 11pm. I really despair about the intolerance of some people oh and the nastiness!!!

DailyMailReadersAreThick · 10/06/2017 16:00

I am very well DailyMail, why thank you.

Are you sure? You really do sound a bit unhinged.

Coddiwomple · 10/06/2017 16:05

I despair about people who are told something is bothering a neighbour, but have decided that it cannot possibly be true because it doesn't bother them so would see no reason for making a tiny change, when they can reasonably make it.

I really do not understand why anyone is happy to willingly disturb someone else, just because they can.

I don't know, if my neighbour works shift and come and ask me not to take the bin at 7pm because they're asleep at that time, I would try to accomodate, why wouldn't I?
I can't understand the attitude on here.

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 16:08

Ooh you are a little cunt aren't you coddi

I haven't actually read where the op has spoken to her neighbour, have you? I'm sure the neighbour would happily oblige, but she hasn't really been given the chance has she?

OhtoblazeswithElvira · 10/06/2017 16:09

Good lord Shock how loud is this bin that it wakes you up through presumably closed windows (maybe even double-glazed)?

Maybe your neighbour is worried the bin will cause an obstruction on the pavement so she tries to minimise how long the bin is out?

Whatsforu · 10/06/2017 16:09

Coddiwomple
I can't understand you. You are totally missing the point. I give up. Over and out.

Babyblues14 · 10/06/2017 16:19

I put my bin out about that time, I always forget until I am checking the front door is locked before bed. If my neighbor came over to whinge I would laugh. Everyone does little things that other people dont like. They insist on parking outside my house when they have a driveway. Do I bitch and moan. Nope. Much more important things in life to care about. Unless it was seriously affecting me I would get over it Grin
Maybe I'm your neighbour

Scaredycat3000 · 10/06/2017 17:43

Most of my estate put out their bins 11am the day before collection, against council advise . And collection times can and do vary between 7am and 5pm. So that is almost two whole days every week that getting about in a wheel chair and a buggy is a nightmare round here.
My DM taught me to be considerate of others and not to be a bigot, one is impossible to achieve without the other, as this shows. 11pm sounds early to put the bins out for me, but then I think a moment's noise is less disruptive than blocking paths for two days. If that makes me a selfish cunt then so be it, better than a bigot.

limitedperiodonly · 10/06/2017 18:53

Lasagnabreath there is no law that enshrines your right to behave in an anti social manner. However, I agree, it is very difficult for people with anti social neighbours who cause nuisance to get peace from them.

drinkingtea I'm thinking more about the kind of people who make a virtue out of getting up early through choice and talk about 'wasting the best part of the day' which someone in my life who I otherwise love dearly does.

As it happens I work shifts. I don't work in health care saving lives or wiping bums but I find it strange when people always bring that up, like as if bus drivers, cleaners, waiters, air traffic controllers etc don't exist or don't matter. Lots of us don't work 9-5. And yet I try not to disturb my neighbours when leaving early or arriving late because that would be a bit cunty, wouldn't it? And I can't even pull the 'I work in health care' card. Not that I would if I did.

Lasagnabreath · 10/06/2017 18:55

I didn't say there was Hmm

Putting a bin out is not anti social behaviour and I am pissing myself laughing at the thought of it. (Literally, as I am having a wee Grin)

limitedperiodonly · 10/06/2017 19:27

Lasagnabreath quote the specific law enshrining the right to make noise up to 11pm otherwise I and everyone else will think you are talking shit. Don't repost that link you gave me because it's shit. Thanks.
