To not want to spend the evening watching balls fly into my garden

Our lovely lounge looks out into our garden. The kids next door are spending the evening out in the garden playing football. In the last 60 seconds 5 footballs have flown past our window into our back garden.

Btw I know we haven’t got bad neighbours, so won’t say anything, but aibu to not want to watch footballs flying over our fence all evening. (I am going to be slightly passive aggressive and not return them until tomorrow morning though!)

One of my youngest memories is of footballs never coming over into our garden as we had the neighbourhood dog who would burst/chew them upon first landing. Bit of a football graveyard Grin

I'm definitely not the neighbour - I don't even have a garden. Sad

I guess we'll go with "genius"...? Wink

Malpa - you are a true genius. You could start selling your diagrams for parking threads! ( although part of me worries you’re a neighbour given the accuracy of the picture....)

Why do they have so many balls?? Lol

Just be a bit slow and awkward about returning them, whilst continuing to be friendly. They will start to be more careful if you're not always able to answer the door and give them the balls back straight away
