Neighbour spitting

14 replies

Pickledpickles · 19/08/2018 12:35

I've just witnessed my neighbour (18) walking across my front lawn (he does this frequently as a short cut) and spitting on it. I've shouted out the window and told him not to do it. I didn't hear his reply as shut the window but looked like fuck off or similar. This guy has no respect for his neighbours and we've had many issues over the years. When I've spoken to his mother she's usually tried to turn things round and make out I am unreasonable. My children play on the front lawn on a regular basis and I don't want them getting his spit on them. It disgusting.

Put up a fence or/and shit on their front lawn

Yeuch. Someone walked their dog across my drive the other day, let it pee on a pile of garden rubbish by my car, cleared their throat and spat on top. Never felt so nauseated 🤢

I'd second shitting on their garden.

Slingshot and catshit (disposable gloves, obvs...)

I'd encourage the cat to shit on their lawn but he's scared of their dog. And they'd know it was me. Can't put a fence up as is a shared lawn with the middle neighbour. She hates them too but is two faced and bitches about them constantly then does them favours Confused

See when neighbours who do favours for neighbours they don’t like, it’s to keep them on side, she probably does them favours but only so they don’t start on her..

Neighbours boy sounds like a charming young man a right credit to society and go on to do good things..that’s sarcasm...if your home is rented look elsewhere for a new home because you can’t reason with people like that

Middle neighbour is very quiet and keeps themselves to themselves and no one could really have issue with her (apart from her being a two faced bitch). She's away a lot as works away so rarely seen or heard. Doesn't stop her having an opinion on everyone on the road though!

Filthy, disgusting thing. My blood would boil.

How about prickly plants along the border to stop them cutting through? Plants or hedges about 2 feet tall should do it. A friend of mine in a semi put standard dose plants along the border (her side) and chicken wire between. Stopped her neighbour cutting across her lawn.

Another vote for shit on the lawn.

Can you rig up a hosepipe? If you see the disgusting individual do it again turn on the hose to wash it away and make sure he gets a soaking as well.

I came on here to commiserate after seeing the thread title, but you've given me something positive about my situation. I never see my neighbour due to a high fence/hedge, but when he's in his yard he is continually clearing his throat with phlegmy gusto and then horking it up. About a 30 second process each time. Envy (not envy) Makes me feel sick. Not sure where it's landing, but at least it's not on my lawn! I've had to come in from our yard and close windows to try and block the sound.

For your situation, I second the auto watering (or remote control that you can turn on when you see him). It'll also wash away the spit.
