... whisper out of the window, 'I can see you!' in the creepiest voice I can manage?

In serious, heard the side gate swing a couple of minutes ago so had a glance out of the window. Fairly certain it's the neighbour from a few doors down but it doesn't look like her husband.

DH (who isn't here) thinks I should ring the police non-emergency. I think it's harmless (unless it is an affair but I'm not 100% it is her - there's been an event on at the pub at the end of our road but she'd have had to walk past her house to get to mine) but I don't think they mean any harm to us.

What would you do?

Seriously! Call non emergency police! That's just not acceptable! What if your kids see?? I'm all for a bit of fun! Wink But I wouldn't be turning up in someone else's garden to do it! Shock

ArseholesOnToast · 14/08/2017 17:42

OP did they take the baby wipes or were they left in the garden?

Have you seen the neighbour since?

I'd keep a bucket of water handy in case they come back for round two Wink

momof5gmof2 · 14/08/2017 17:48

I would make a hard copy of the photo you took, and post it to her husband, he deserves to know what type of person he is married too, that is not okay.... and doing that in your garden randomly with a guy she probably just picked up at the pub shows that he is probably not the first bloke she has done this with. Personally I feel her husband needs to be told! (and head down to the clinic to get himself tested....)

Groovee · 14/08/2017 17:49

She's got a brass neck to do that!

Craigie · 14/08/2017 17:49

Turn a hose on them, dirty fuckers.

winglesspegasus · 14/08/2017 17:50

everytime you see her do meatloaf song

bemusedmoose · 14/08/2017 17:55

I'd make sure my phone was on video, sneak out with a big f#ck off torch then surprise them with some illumination... Of course i'd get as much of an audience for them as possible - clearly they have set the stage on your patio!

Then send it to police for trespass and indecent behaviour.

I mean who the hell does that in a random garden!?! CFN isnt even enough to describe this!!

Sarahmorr14 · 14/08/2017 18:08

Can I ask what you did??

ImDoingLaundry · 14/08/2017 18:11

I'd turn the pressure washer on the neighbour!

I've only been on MN for a month and I've had my eyes opened to the amount of gall some people have Confused

In all seriousness, I'd have let the dogs out and shouted out all the gory details, naming names and generally ruined their fun until they left. Then reported them for trespassing Halo

Toysintheattic29 · 14/08/2017 18:14

I'd put on the lights and tell them they have are being filmed.....actually you could REALLY film them too!

Canary123 · 14/08/2017 18:39

I cant believe the cheek of some people! This thread has made me laugh out loud,
So what does her husband think about all this?

OurMiracle1106 · 14/08/2017 18:43

Filled an empty xondom with water and throw it at them I mean they might need it right? You were just being helpful

Whatthefoxgoingon · 14/08/2017 18:49

I'd have videoed them and then thrown a bucket of water on them. Video to police and husband. The fuckers (literally) Angry

BabychamSocialist · 14/08/2017 18:52

That's the most MN thing I've ever heard:

"There's two people shagging in our garden!"
"Heavens, surely this is a job for 101?!" Grin

Honestly, just go out and tell them to bugger off or turn the hose on them. Imagine wasting the police's time with this - is your husband on crack?

Wdigin2this · 14/08/2017 19:16

What a bloody cheek! Shout out the window...'Whoever you are, if you're not gone in 10 seconds, I'm turning the hose on you!'
She won't know you've recognised her, and it should get rid of them!

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 14/08/2017 19:25

At what point should the op get in her time machine?

Jaxhog · 14/08/2017 19:26

What a bloody cheek! Shout out the window...'Whoever you are, if you're not gone in 10 seconds, I'm turning the hose on you!'

OP you're not from Kesgrave are you?

Drivingmenuts · 14/08/2017 20:10

Shout out 'do you play pool? Lovely stroke'

RebeccaWrongDaily · 14/08/2017 20:12

Really? I would go tell her she needs to jetwash your patio furniture at the very least.

greathat · 14/08/2017 20:18

If I thought anyone I didn't know was in my garden in the dark I would call the police

MrsJamesAspey · 14/08/2017 20:18

You could of stood at the back door with a fag and a cuppa and said u ok Hun? 😂😂

And then chucked a bowl of water over the dirty fuckers Angry
