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

Our neighbours are calles Chimney Boy, Smokey Joe and Mr Twat. Chimney Boy smokes weed - lot. His mum is a chainsmoker who chain-sunbathes 24/7 in summer and has a blue rinse. The dad is just a Twat who installed a darts board on their garage wall, which is our living room wall. Chimney Boy smokes weed in said garage, 24/7 and plays darts in middle of night. Twatty twats. We also have Mr Mayor, a self-appointed ruler of our cul-de-sac who dislikes kids playing on our communal piece of grass out at front and then we also have Mr Leaf Blower, who likes to blow imaginary leaves on Sunday afternoons, loudly. Oh I forget Mr Twat wakes us up at 5am every morning slamming the doors on his twatty car, going to his twatty job in a twatty fag factory. Aren't neighbours a joy.

We have a racist twat too. We also have the silent twats (unfriendly) and my favourite sexy twat (easy on the eye until he opens his mouth).
Then we have the lovely old gardeners, dog lady and catman.
We’re probably the batshit family.

YouSayPotatoesISayVodka · 19/02/2019 20:10

Either dump the parcel on their doorstep whether they’re in or not (maybe label it “massive strap ons first so others can see it?) or send it back. If you do leave it on the doorstep take a photo on your phone of it being there so you have proof.

The wall post? I’d have got it fixed and sent them the bill by now. Ignorant twats. Not surprised the young boy is a rude little git with parents like his.

KarmaStar · 19/02/2019 20:27

Flowersfor you vintage for having such awful neighbours.

WineAndTiramisu · 19/02/2019 20:40

Surely you can claim through their car insurance? If the damage was caused by their car?

BlueJava · 19/02/2019 20:44

Gosh they sound horrible. Just back off and act like they aren't there - otherwise they could retaliate and things could then really escalate.

Handprints2018 · 19/02/2019 21:09

Claim on her car insurance, they won't be impressed she hasn't declared so bonus.

If she blocks you in call 101 to report it or bang on their door until they move.

Fiveredbricks · 19/02/2019 21:16

Deffo claim through car insurance. And tell her you are after you've photographed any damage to her vehicle.

ShinyPinkLipgloss · 19/02/2019 21:23

We have troll and trollette next door. They wear sour faces, black anoraks (which are zipped up fully in ALL weather conditions) and when they open their mouths it's to spout obnoxious threatening language.

The rest of our neighbours are lovely however I'm convinced the clouds move to cover the sun whenever those two are out and about.

Hellbentwellwent · 19/02/2019 21:24

Maybe the parcel is dodgy sex toys and they’re scundered in case you’ve figured out what it is?
Could you leave it at the local police station and tell them that it either that or you were going to dump it on the doorstep and since you didn’t want to be liable it was the only option?

combatbarbie · 19/02/2019 21:52

Absolutely return it to sender......

And in regards to the concrete post, issue small claims court paperwork

Vintagewannabe · 19/02/2019 22:16

Envy (not envy) at sex toys lol. Both cars havnt been there this Evening gonna leave it a day or so then open the parcel and send back. I do want to know what’s in the parcel now, DH said it’s probs something boring like door handles and the cba lol.

DH also said he’s sick of seeing the leaning post now and some kids gonna climb on the wall and fall so he’s going to fix it at the weekend With our (normal) neighbour on the other side lol.

I'd write a note saying that it they do not collect tHe parcel in 24 hours you are going to open it and return. And film you putting note through door! Ahh why do people buy things if they are not going to collect them? What is the point? As for names of neighbours on one side we have Shrek and the other horrible side is simply Arsewipe!

summersoonplease · 19/02/2019 22:49

I think I'd post the dog shit through the letterbox and I'm not joking 😂

lerrimknowyouretheyir · 19/02/2019 23:04

If sky were there, it could be a modem. They’re often delivered in plain brown boxes.
On a separate note, I’m always amazed at how many people recommend starting a full on war with neighbours, given that you might have to live next door to them for many years. Are these the same people who, when people complain about their awful neighbours, advise them to move house?

Stormy76 · 19/02/2019 23:24

We have lovely neighbours and not so lovely as well. The couple next door are lovely, next house along is posh ladies house, next ones along is the awful taste in Windows house, then there are the screamy twats houses, one has a dog that barks non stop and they scream ‘shut up’ at it on a fucking loop🙄 the other house has a screamy girl in it who has very entertaining rows with her BF outside my house until she gets dragged in by her dad.......just before the police turn up!

buckeejit · 20/02/2019 11:09

Ugh they are awful

Claim against her car insurance - ask for details & make sure it's done by professionals.

Next time they park over your drive say simply 'you've parked over our drive again. Please assume that we'll always need access as I don't want to have to ask you to move your car constantly'

userschmoozer · 20/02/2019 11:13

You do need to send the parcel back or they can claim you've stolen it, get a refund and then demand it from you. (Twat neighbour has form for this.)

SusannahL · 20/02/2019 11:37

The situation with the parcel is now urgent as you said that it's leaking.

The mind boggles at what could be inside. Shock

Juells · 20/02/2019 11:54

as you said that it's leaking.

I thought it was her garage that's leaking...

the parcel is a real problem if there's no return address on it :( If you see them going in you could follow with the parcel, and stand with your finger on the doorbell until they answer. I'd want to be rid of it.

dragonsfire · 20/02/2019 17:44

You don’t need to know where parcel is from to send back - I thought you can just write not known at this address and hand into the post office?

Just say your DC signed for it by mistake or something.

I could be wrong!

Earthakitty · 20/02/2019 17:51

They sound like ignorant scum.
I'm so sorry you've been saddled with creatures like these for neighbours.
My advice....move.

Streamside · 20/02/2019 17:53

Leave the parcel on their door step and take a photograph. Refuse from now on to take any parcels and politely tell her that the wall is dangerous and you'll need to claim of her insurance.

Rachand23 · 20/02/2019 17:53

Send the parcel back, then arrange for your local estate agents to come and value your house and put it on the market! Move before the nightmare increases!
