Twat face next door

[Vintagewannabe]

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)

Open the parcel and make a big show of using whatever it is, sex toys included 😂

Wait for it to rain heavily then put parcel on their doorstep

I used to have Marlene and Boysie next door, nasel voices and had a barbecue fried up constantly in their garden. He appeared to liv on Cognac. They had loud conversations about what a selfish bitch I was for hosing my garden, I grow vegetables so could do this even with a hose pipe ban. Had a hideous teen who smoked weed and gamed when Mummy was out. I heard the screaming when she came home at him with accompanying thumps. And she was an opera singer dontchaknow. I used to sit in the back garden with a glass of wine and laugh at them.

Give notice that parcel is going to be returned and any associated costs will be invoiced. As to the wall, again give them notice on when repair should be carried out or small claim court will be activated fir cost if you pay to have work done.

The man next door to us quite often has his mates round and they play music and talk loudly/shout into the early hours. They are known as the Twat Lads in our house.

I would open the parcel and keep it for myself lol

You need to open the parcel and tell us what's in it...i believe that is rule 9 of mumsnet.

1. The op must open any parcel they have taken in for cf/twat face neighbours who refuse to collect and tell the mumanet followers of its contents.

who wouldn't collect something they paid for?????

I also would make up a formal invoice for the works and materials to fix the post.

If you put the parcel on their doorstep they could deny receiving it. as you’ve signed for it they can make a claim against you for it. I don’t think the company will take it back now as you’ve signed for it but worth asking! I won’t take parcels for people I don’t know if they require a signature.

The whole parcel things makes me so happy our mail/couriers done do this! It just doesn’t happen ever. If you aren’t home you get a slip saying to go to the depot or they were here and will try again next day between x and y or if it’s not a signed one they leave it and hopefully it will still be there when you get home. None of this leave with your neighbours l, if they did that you would just as likely never get it!

If you do fix the post don't expect them to pay.

We have a particularly nasty woman across the road which is a shame as the rest of the neighbours are lovely. DH took a parcel in for nasty lady. She arrived home and came straight over.

Then had a go at DH because she wanted the parcel the day before....the parcel had arrived that day.

Whilst she was in mid rant DH closed the door on her... he wished he hadn't already given her the parcel

Hi, when the parents friend is dropping the year 6 boy home, take the parcel round then. They’ll have to open the door!

Oh OP I feel your pain, as having had the neighbours from whingy hell.
How awful for you all. Just keep your distance, don’t take parcels in and don’t get drawn in to any arguments.
They are obvs troublemakers and quite clearly don’t want to be nice neighbours.

You’ll have to ambush them when they come home. Get parcel ready, listen for their car and kill them with kindness on their drive.

That way you can also mention the wall (which is why I suspect they are avoiding you) asking if they got a quote for fixing it yet?

Utter twats!

You can’t claim on she-twat’s insurance because it’s quite obvious she will deny it, and I’m guessing you have no proof of her coughing to it.

Good call opening it and returning it.

Tart up your house once the post is fixed and get on the market. We escaped our own twat family just over a year ago. It had got seriously awful, and we had to disclose the police had been involved

A) claim the cost of repairing the wall from their insurance.

B) Advise neighbour by note that if they do not collect in 7 days you are returning the parcel. Open parcel and advise the sender that the neighbours have not collected it and therefore can they arrange to collect within 7 days (they'' pay the cost)

Stick hundreds of post it notes on their car with “ COME AND YOUR BLOODY PARCEL” I’m sure they’re get the message.

COME AND GET YOUR BLOODY PARCEL it should of said.

Don't take any more parcels. Leave current one on their doorstep. Ignore. They sound a pain. My annoying neighbours expected me to be parcel service. I've stopped. Unknown to me a huge parcel came for them & was left on the porch (3 flats in 1 House). It went AWOL. When they knocked, I explained 'click & collect' & shut door.

Wait till there's a storm and they're out. Throw the parcel on their drive. Hopefully they'll drive over the soggy box and damage the contents. Serves them right.

They are annoying twats.

Just write Recipient Uncontactable, Return To Sender on it and drop it at the post office. Be much more hassle for her then, trying to track it down and arrange redelivery.

Our next door neighbour has a lot of parcels delivered and also pretends not to be in (!) - I have signed for loads and just end up dumping them on the back step now, leading to wonderful pass-agg notes about his stuff being stolen.

I sent some stuff back we'd had for 2 weeks - he went beserk, even though he'd not been away and I'd attempted delivery 4 times.

Our NDNs are known as Werepig and the Gruffalo

Hi.
Don't leave the parcel on their doorstep. I've heard stories where the owner of the parcel can say they didn't get the parcel, and so can actually claim you have stolen their parcel, getting you into trouble with the police. Considering how you have described them, I wouldn't put it past them.

Ruru , if she signed for it then leaves it on the doorstep and it gets damaged she could be in trouble ! I would phone the sender and explain the situation !
