To want the neighbours to shut their front door?

[NapQueen]

I live ground floor and they live upstairs. One main door to the building, small vestebule type thingy with both of our doors. 99% of the time I leave or come home their front door is open.

Because of how small the entrance way is, it feels like Im just stood at the bottom of their stairs.

Its starting to feel like im passing through their space to get in and out of my own flat. They usually leave their shoes in the entrance too as theyve recarpeted, sk theres always a few pairs of trainers and flip flops lying around. She stacks her up at the side, but his are just anywhere he effing leaves them.

Aibu to just shut their door?

I have a very similar set up to you OP. My upstairs neighbour got the hint about leaving his shit in the hall when I started moving his shit. Start chucking their shoes upstairs. Or put them in the garden. Say it must have been the postman.

Yeah, I'd line all the shoes up and block some steps with them.

crochet the stairs are theirs, inside their front door. So enter the vestibule via the front door and directly infront two front doors. One leads to their flat (stairs behind the door), one leads to ours.

Could a 'visiting child' not drop their yogurt inside one of the shoes?

Then the following week, very muddy wellies put down on top of them.

if its a fire door then it must remain closed. some models can take up to 40 mins to burn through which is invaluable time to escape and let the fire service to there thing. as for the shoes they are causing a hazard on a fire escape route, also something you are not allowed to do. I;d first ask them to please bring their shoes inside their own property maybe suggesting a shoe rack or something. if it continues, take photos and report to building management.

A fox stole one of DDs trainers which we had to leave outside the school swimming block, so perhaps you can invite some foxes round to swipe a shoe or two?

Pop all the junk mail on their bottom step? Push the shoes into their doorway as you go past? Shout "hello no 2 (or whatever no they are) How are you all?" as you go past?

My neighbour did this exact thing. The day we moved out, I took all their shoes and chucked them downstairs. Felt relieved after that.

Wait until it's cold, and then start standing with the main door open pretending to be on the phone, or smoking a fag, or whatevs.

Spread rumours of local fox/big cat.

Create muddy footprints around shoe pile with these footprint shoes. Bonus points if you can make the footprints go into their house without being caught.

Begin to stealthily bin one shoe from each pair. Repeat daily until shoes are no longer left in communal area. Intermittently return a chewed looking shoe inside their doorway until door remains closed.

BeccaAnn not fire doors. No bulding manager - we are two halves of a converted victorian house. Each flat owns the freehold for the other.
