I think I have a cf

So we live in a cul de sac and facing the road is our driveway and side garden. Front door is on the other side. For a few weeks I’ve been noticing the same car driving up blocking the dropped kerb for our drive and a lady getting out and having a fag sitting on our garden wall.
That’s fine, I haven’t needed to go out when she’s been there. Her habit isn’t affecting me.
This week I was picking up the dogs mess and noticed that there’s tons of fag butts in my garden. She’s obviously just been slinging them over the fence.
Today I waited till she arrived and I went out to her to ask her to take her rubbish with her and not throw them in my garden. She told me to get fucked and she will do what she likes.
I didn’t really have any comeback for that so scuttled back inside.
Being both a coward and a nosy bitch I jotted down her car reg. Lo and behold the DVLA website says it’s not mot’d.
WIBU to tip off whoever enforces those things next time I spot her? She’s pretty regular time wise.

Pfft to your mil that's bold!

MamaVV · 13/01/2019 19:38

You need one of those sensor sprinkler systems used to deter cars from gardens. Leave it on full whack and watch her get soaked as she lights up next time!

MamaVV · 13/01/2019 19:38

To deter CATS not cars

Doghorsechicken · 13/01/2019 19:46

Haha I think that was a fantastic reaction! Well done MIL!

qazxc · 13/01/2019 20:35

Well neither MIL or CF are coming out of this smelling of roses, but part of me thinks that it maybe the only language that CF will understand.

Somewhereovertheroad · 13/01/2019 20:48

Fair play to MIL but I would be shaking in my shoes in case CF comes back when your MIL isn't there.

NOTthepinkranger · 13/01/2019 20:51

Oh yeah all scouse women are fiesty like this .. dead typical Hmm no.

runsmidgeOMG · 13/01/2019 20:57

Sorry if this has been covered. Does CF talk or see anyone when lighting up ? I wonder if she's spying/stalking or hoping to run in to someone near by? she seems dodgy, not to mention rude !

she totes deserved that GFW for talking to you like that, who does she think she is ?

Ourmaud · 13/01/2019 21:06

No cf doesn’t meet anyone or talk to anyone- I had the impression she may be hiding her habit from someone. As I said I didn’t mind her smoking there it was just the fag ends in the garden and then she was really aggressive when I asked her to stop throwing them in our garden. If she’d apologised or even said yeah ok I’d have left her to it.

where do you live that people think they can get away with that sort of crap?!

A friend's mother lived on a development full of retired professionals. One woman put a beautiful cherry sapling in her open-plan garden. She asked a regular dog walker (a retired surgeon) to stop his dog from urinating on it while it was getting established.

From that day forward, even if involved dragging the dog, the dog owner made it his routine for the dog to urinate on the tree several times a day.

animallikeyou · 13/01/2019 21:40

God people are fucked up.

WhoKnewBeefStew · 13/01/2019 21:48

Good for your mil.
I wish I had her guts

FarAwayFromTheMidnightAir · 13/01/2019 22:21

although if I was lying I’d have given myself a better role than baby arse wiper and useless bystander.

StarbucksSmarterSister · 13/01/2019 22:29

Another round of applause for MIL. I would love to be that brave.

DishingOutDone · 13/01/2019 22:34

adultchild they needed to borrow OP's MiL!!

Good for her, not someone you want to make an enemy of!!

poshredrose · 13/01/2019 22:49

Someone should start a 'rent a mil' business.
CF problem? Rent a MIL to sort them out

LadyBrienne · 14/01/2019 00:59

I would rent your mil

LadyBrienne · 14/01/2019 00:59

We have a secret dog walker who lets his or her dog poop on our front garden

LadyBrienne · 14/01/2019 01:01

If I save the poop instead of putting it in the compost bin, will you mil come over, wait in hiding, and fling dog poop over dog person .... please?

I will fly your mil to us

We live in California

loubluee · 14/01/2019 01:05

Stand at the top of your garden and hosepipe the drive etc, accidentally soaking her too. (Yes I’m a horrible cow)

MiniMum97 · 14/01/2019 01:09

Brilliant!

Blondebakingmumma · 14/01/2019 01:12

Turn on the sprinklers.
I would also feel much joy from reporting her car 😁

justilou1 · 14/01/2019 03:15

Dying to see if this bitch comes back. I heart MIL.

Storybarn · 14/01/2019 06:35

Fab mil! Star When the zombie apocalypse happens, you absolutely want a bunch of scousers on your side!

You could paint a very fine layer of brown paint/varnish on your wall just before cf arrives. I doubt she will but in case she escalates it further, log the incident with the police on 101. Plus, report her to the DVLA for not renewing her mot. Karma

Gresley · 14/01/2019 06:49

Can I borrow your MIL? Grin
