We don't get on well at all with our neighbours. We usually ignore them however today they really annoyed me so my partner went to talk to them. The male in the couple was throwing small amounts of water out of his window onto his parking space, unfortunately he wasn't being that careful and some of the water ran onto our parking space too. Luckily it missed my car. My partner then went into my garage (the neighbours live in a flat above our garage) and the neighbour continued throwing the water out despite the fact he must have known my partner was out there.

My partner then knocked on their door several times. I was watching and I will admit he did knock pretty hard but I think it was understandable that he was angry given he could have got water chucked on him.

The neighbours didn't answer so we left it but am not sure what to do now. My partner wants to knock again but I want to call the police as it might possibly count as an attempted assault. I know that sounds a bit extreme but I've had to call them before when my daughters saw my neighbour looking up at them in their in the bedroom so it indicates a pattern of harassment. WIBU to call the police or should I let my partner knock on their door tomorrow?

Your poor fucking neighbours.

Just leave them alone!

Get on with your own life, stop letting your kids add to the imagined drama and accept you were in the wrong the first time for not securing your bin properly and they are probably quite rightly miffed at you.

Once again LEAVE THEM ALONE.

Are you here DT?

DanglyTassles · 12/05/2019 17:25

No I'm not here Thigh I'm too busy prepping for the Zombie Apocalypse!

I can't find my piss bomb! It was fully loaded! Sad

Fuck me, I am glad you’re not my neighbour. You’re completely unhinged!! Secure your bin, when it’s windy, woman, apologize when you dent someone’s car (Even if the wind blew YOUR bin into said car. You’d be fucking annoyed if the neighbor’s bin had dented your vehicle - esp give how worried you are that it gets wet), get a hobby (not involving your poor neighbour) and calm the hell down!

Best comment of the day Grin

Oh please call the police... so they can bollock you for wasting their time

NicoAndTheNiners · 12/05/2019 17:50

Things have gone downhill since March then, especially seeing as she gave you chocolates then.

MummyParanoia101 · 12/05/2019 17:55

@chatnicknameyousuggested Wow! Please can you start an AMA thread?! I want to know what the most fascinating case you've dealt with was about!?

MummyParanoia101 · 12/05/2019 17:56

@DanglyTassles What on earth are you talking about?!?!?

Kattyy · 12/05/2019 18:01

This must be a windup right? You want to call the police for that? Hell, why not have the ambulance and the fire brigade attend as well?

youarenotkiddingme · 12/05/2019 18:01

*I think may even be one for the army

Or the marines.

Actually I think we should consider calling in the navy - in case they have a spare vessel. I mean - all that water Grin

I'm not in the UK so I couldn't answer any legal questions. I'm also a bit shady about where I am as I don't want to be outed :) Maybe I could a kind of general thing, but I could never offer legal advice. I'd be in big trouble. We are not allowed personal social media.

LarryGreysonsDoor · 12/05/2019 18:12

Wait a minute.
In the thread from a while ago the poster who was Name1983 was saying that her neighbour was the one with the runaway bin.
Now this poster is the owner of the runaway bin, or am I confused.

IvanaPee · 12/05/2019 18:20

Because the other thread was the neighbour?

Whywonttheyletmeusemyusername · 12/05/2019 18:25

The thread that keeps on giving Grin Are you anything to do with the OP who posted a thread about seeing a man leaving her house? Except it wasn't her actual house, it was her front garden. All dressed in black...obviously a criminal 😂😂 Does your neighbour dress all in black ? If so, POLICE. NOW 😂😂😂😂

LarryGreysonsDoor · 12/05/2019 18:28

So both neighbours have the same birth year (assumedly) and post on MN with user name that follows the same pattern.

Am I in a parallel universe? It's a reverse surely?

Witchend · 12/05/2019 18:46

11 pages and no one has asked if he t-rexed in the supermarket.

simplyhaving · 12/05/2019 18:48

Is it this one or the bin one that's the reverse?

IvanaPee · 12/05/2019 19:07

@Larry, ah so this is Lauren but a reverse?

Tevion10 · 12/05/2019 19:10

You obviously hate each other so just ignore them.

Tevion10 · 12/05/2019 19:13

Assaulted with water Grin

DanglyTassles · 12/05/2019 19:15

@MummyParanoia101 the answer to that is to be found here:

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/_chat/3583650-Welcome-to-the-Advice-Clinic-Please-come-in?pg=2

Somewhere in there anyway.

Hey now I notice the 101 at the end of your name! @thighofrelief101 is this you being naughty again?

LarryGreysonsDoor · 12/05/2019 19:28

11 pages and no one has asked if he t-rexed in the supermarket

Or if Sharon is involved.
