Twat face next door

I suspect I am bu but I’m raging lol.

6 months ago our lovely neighbour moved onto a retirement home. He sold his house to a family. A week after they moved in the woman drove into my wall and knocked a concreate post over. She didn’t come and tell me just proped it up against the wall. I went to ask what happened, she apologised and said she’s not used to such a narrow drive and will get DH to fix. I said fair enough but please come tell me as children walk in the wall (mine and others in the street) and it will be dangerous if the pillar is loose and we don’t know. 6 months later still not fixed even though we’ve reminded the husband a few times.

3x a week young son (year 6) is driven home by a friends parents. Mother is never home on time. He’s left knocking on the door. Sometimes in the rain. I politely said I don’t think your mums home yet, he called me a bitch. I mentioned this to mum when I saw her last week. She laughed and got in her car.

They regularly park in front of our drive then make out like it’s hardest job in the world to move the car.

5 days ago a parcel was delivered for next door. I didn’t really want to take it but I thought I was being petty so I signed for it. The driver left a note. 2 days later they hadn’t collected so I knocked on the door. Husband was in but wouldn’t answer (saw car arrive, curtains twitching etc). After 4 days I posted a note saying please come collect parcel as it’s been 4 days. It’s a large parcel and I’m fed up of seeing it. Today (day 5) I see a sky van pull up for next door, they are in and still not collected parcel. So I went round and knocked. No answer. I asked sky man to take the parcel in but he refused saying he was going up the ladder.

Wtaf? I’m so pissed off. Aibu to fix the wall and send the bill, throw the parcel over the gate and post dog shit though her letterbox? (obvs last is a joke) Grin

Distract boy with parcel, push concrete post onto him? Grin

Pigflewpast · 19/02/2019 13:09

Juells thank you. Sounds a good idea.
Our neighbour is also known as Twat face, I opened the thread wondering if id started it in my sleep!

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/02/2019 13:09

Because they are arseholes, Purplecat

oh4forkssake · 19/02/2019 13:14

@CandyFlossLegend no such thing in the UK. We don't even have to display tax discs anymore. And we don't have to have MOT discs (NCT equivalent) either. Nothing on my windscreen at all!

OP, I agree with PP. Leave the package on their doorstep. They're taking the piss. You shouldn't have to go to the trouble of sending it back! That's too much hassle.

GassyAss · 19/02/2019 13:14

@WinterfellWench you've just made my day with the abundance use of cunt. Excellent work. Thanks

OP, they're CF. Dump parcel on doorstep and don't take in anymore.

ReaganSomerset · 19/02/2019 13:20

Yes, return parcel, claim for wall on car insurance. I think you can report people who park in front of dropped kerbs. Google it and it'll tell you what to do for your area.

Roomba · 19/02/2019 13:33

Anyone else open this thread just to check it wasn't posted by their neighbour, or was it just me? Grin

Just leave the parcel on their step, visible to the street. Don't accept any more parcels. Claim against their car insurance for the wall damage. They've had plenty chance to fix it. Ignore them in future and don't do any favours for them again.

Juells · 19/02/2019 13:33

You shouldn't have to go to the trouble of sending it back! That's too much hassle.

I'd be prepared to go to quite a lot of hassle to discommode them 😈

ReaganSomerset · 19/02/2019 13:39

Also, you could get into trouble by leaving it on their doorstep- when you took the parcel in you became legally responsible for getting it to them. I think in theory if they claim they've not received it then the company in question can charge you for it (not certain of this, do check).

pigsDOfly · 19/02/2019 13:51

OP doesn't need to go to the trouble of sending it back just phone the sender and tell them to collect it as the recipient refuses to collect it.

turtlepoop · 19/02/2019 13:57

Their kid called you a bitch and she laughed Shock that's bloody awful

IvanaPee · 19/02/2019 14:00

I’d walk it back if it meant inconveniencing NDT (next door twat).

CoolJule43 · 19/02/2019 14:01

What's a car insurance disc?

OP - I wouldn't claim on Home Insurance as you'll pay an excess and your premiums will also go up which will have a knock-on effect for, probably, 5 years.

I'd probably fix the wall/post myself and just write the cost off to avoid any more animosity.

Return the parcel to the sender or at least contact sender to arrange to collect and don't accept parcels in future. May also be worth you opting out of having parcels left with neighbour's to pre-empt any possibility of future acts of revenge by them.

HJWT · 19/02/2019 14:12

Id throw a brick through there window whilst they are out and when they get back say 'oops I'm not used to being blinded by ignorant CF when I chuck bricks around' 😁😁😁 will get DH to fix it

SchadenfreudePersonified · 19/02/2019 15:38

Just leave the parcel on their step, visible to the street.

For crying out loud, don't do this!

You signed for it, you've accepted responsibility for it - if it gets stolen (or they take it in and CLAIM it was stolen) you'll have to pay for it.

emilybrontescorsett · 19/02/2019 15:38

HJWT 😂😂😂😂😂😂

CandyFlossLegend · 19/02/2019 18:40

Sorry. Pp are correct; I am in Ireland, not UK. In Ireland when you pay for your car insurance, you get an insurance disc to display on your windscreen. It's a legal obligation to display valid tax, insurance and NCT discs and there are penalties if caught without them. Insurance disc contains details of policy no, start & exp date, insurance co etc.

I didn't realise you don't do that in UK.

RestingBitchFaced · 19/02/2019 18:48

Keep the parcel and make sure you don't answer the door when they come round, and make it obvious that your in. Don't let them have it until they have fixed your wall

BusySnipingOnCallOfDuty · 19/02/2019 18:52

Open box carefully, shit in box, reseal box, take box round neighbours

Vintagewannabe · 19/02/2019 18:59

The parcel WILL get stolen by kids if I leave it in the step and I don’t want them saying it’s my fault because I signed for it.

I can’t work out who send the bloody thing it’s in a plain brown box, would have to open it. I’m not paying to send it back.

Not claiming on my house insurance for the wall because DH could fix for less than the excess. Her car is probs worth more for scrap and ours is brand new so not scratching her car either Grin.

Will ignore boy it didn’t bother me as much as parking and the parcel. My DD goes to school with the older boy (year 9) and said he’s strange, starting to believe it’s a family thing.

They are now known as Mrs twat face and mr twat face. The guy directly opposite is known as racist twat. The rest of my neighbours are really lovely lol.

Think il do the shove the parcel in the garage till she comes for it. It leaks Wink

Lottiebugz22 · 19/02/2019 19:03

Lol people like this piss me off. I'd send the parcel back as they clearly don't want it. They sound bizarre.

FamilyOfAliens · 19/02/2019 19:08

Don’t put the parcel in a leaky garage, or she’ll claim you damaged it.

Or if you do, put it in a bin liner so it doesn’t get damaged. If she wants it, she can come and get it.

Cliffordthebigreddog · 19/02/2019 19:14

*Ours is called Baldy Twat.

Our ex-neighbour was "Fat Twat"!

They're breeding!*

Our old neighbours were called “horse twat bastards” (disclaimer - I have nothing against horses - they just happened to own some!)

MulticolourMophead · 19/02/2019 19:23

You can open the parcel to find out who sent it, contact them and send it back. I wouldn't put it on the doorstep (in case it's nicked) or hang onto it (as she could claim you've stolen it).

Also agree with going through her car insurance to pay for the wall. Why should you (or your insurance) pay?. If she actually has any. If she doesn't then that can of worms will get opened and she could end up in court.

Firstworddinosaur · 19/02/2019 19:30
