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.

I once threw a bag full of Macdonalds rubbish back into the stationary car from whence it had been chucked.
Tip - if you're going to throw litter, don't do it from a car with one of those extra large sun roofs

You didn't realise what she was going to do with it when she put water in the tub? Really?

BruceAndNosh · 14/01/2019 08:27

I would postpone reporting her for No MOT for a while so she doesn't associate it with you.

LakieLady · 14/01/2019 09:12

Kudos to your MIL!

fiydwi · 14/01/2019 10:24

When I started reading your update I thought she was going to throw it over the car, but at her?? 😮🤣🤣🙌

nellieellie · 14/01/2019 10:26

Have you got a garden hose?

nellieellie · 14/01/2019 10:29

Oh no! Just read what your MIL did!

SaveKevin · 14/01/2019 11:08

ID Still port for the mot. Fuck it she shouldn’t be on the road, it could be dangerous.

Troels · 14/01/2019 11:55

Souser MIL is a good thing to have on your side. I bet you've made her week. Sounds like she had fun throwing fag water over the CF.

SuzieBishop · 14/01/2019 12:29

Collect all her fag butts in a bucket till you have a fair pile then next time you see her chuck it all over her. Bet that'll stop her.

rainbowstardrops · 14/01/2019 12:48

Go MIL!!!! You need her to move in with you in case CF comes back!

rededucator · 14/01/2019 12:56

If the car isn't MOTed then it will not be insured. You can't buy insurance with a valid MOT. Hopefully you'll get her done for driving without insurance too!

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 14/01/2019 13:01

Hahaha I was not expecting the MIL intervention!!!

Brilliant.

Hope she stays away now.

whatsthecomingoverthehill · 14/01/2019 15:50

Yes, no one was expecting that.

shpoot · 14/01/2019 16:46

Brilliant

RosemarysBush · 14/01/2019 16:57

Any sign of her today, OP?

WellBHoise · 14/01/2019 16:57

I need your MIL in my life!

wowfudge · 14/01/2019 17:05

We're in the Peak District - that's the most excitement I reckon there's been for a while! We have occasional problems with fly tippers dumping their rubbish by our garage gates, which are set back from the road. I'd love to catch one of the CFs in the act and lob the stuff back at them!

I did once scream blue murder give two lads a stern talking to for urinating at the end of our driveway - it's concealed from the road, but I saw them when I took some recycling out to the bin. I was so angry.

OrdinarySnowflake · 14/01/2019 17:35

I rather love your MIL.

Angie1960 · 14/01/2019 17:35

DO IT, GIRL, HAD SAME PROB AS YOU FEW YEARS AGO, HIRED MY GARDEN WALL DURING
SCHOOL HOLS, BRILLIANT, NO MORE FAG BUTTS,
NO MORE MUM'S & DAD'S SITTING ON MY WALL, NO MORE KID'S WALKING ALONG THE
WALL, WHICH THE MUM'S USED TO GUIDE
THEM ALONG.......NO RESPECT.

clevergingercat · 14/01/2019 17:36

Oh how disgusting. If you live in a housing association or council home, you can report the cigarette ends to them. Take photographic evidence. You can report this to your local authority.

Hector2000 · 14/01/2019 17:37

Water your garden next time you see her there, with a hose. Sloppily.

ToftyAC · 14/01/2019 17:37

Yep I’d report her car - I’ve done it to great vicious satisfaction myself :D

Lovellama · 14/01/2019 17:37

Shamelessly placemarking ☺️
