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 DH, he could have got wet but thankfully he didn't. A bit like he could have been abducted by aliens or a rampaging orangutan but thank goodness he wasn't. Hmm

I concur with the bonkers diagnosis.

So we have a bin troll???

FatThor · 12/05/2019 19:47

Silvery surfer the plot thickens! Bins, garages, coach houses, petty neighbour squabbles, weirdly sensitive posters with 1983 in their usernames. It would be a crap soap opera Grin

Qweenbee · 12/05/2019 19:53

I've bin having fun reading this. Water'd you think about it being real or not?

FatThor · 12/05/2019 19:54

@jenniferl1983 please come back and enlighten us!

Rockmysocks · 12/05/2019 19:55

I got stared out by a bag of potatoes in my own pantry once. Eyes out on stalks so obvious case of harrassment. Police didn't want to know.

Throwing bits of water out of the window and splashing your drive is a job for the SAS or International Rescue.

Whoever it was who posted the comment about not being able to empty his penis beaker in peace - brilliant!

FatThor · 12/05/2019 19:55

Qweenbee I wheelie don't know what to think!

DT I've always had a 101 - like thinly veiled psychopathy 101 - geddit? See you at home.

MyOtherLifeIsAFairytale · 13/05/2019 09:25

Feeling sad that OP has vanished (dissolved in thrown penis beaker juice?) but thankful that's she's posted before, and it's all equally bizarre.

SnowyAlpsandPeaks · 13/05/2019 09:35

This is probably the most bizarre thread I’ve ever read🤔

  1. it’s windy- you secure your own bin to prevent it blowing around and damaging other peoples property

  2. water is water- enough said

  3. money on it your daughters were knocking the window or something, looking and hiding, hence he was staring up.

Seriously OP grow up, get a life........

AmazingBouncingFerret · 13/05/2019 09:45

Obviously it was holy water and he was trying to perform an exorcism because you is cray cray innit.

SD1978 · 13/05/2019 09:58

You seem to be looking for issues and complaints. They chucked out water that didn't hit anyone or anything and yet your partner has aggressively gone round there demanding that they..........continue not to through water on him or the car. Which is what they did in the first place- nothing. He thought your kids were eyeballing him, you decided he was eyeballing them and you called the police. Are you renting? Any chance you could start to look elsewhere? I would t answer the door to your partner either. And I'd love to hear the 111 log....."police please, someone didn't throw water on me or my car and I'd like to report them".......

Hmm
pineapplebryanbrown · 13/05/2019 14:44

This thread has pleased me ENORMOUSLY. Thank you for being you OP.

CocoCharlie83 · 13/05/2019 16:30

Please move somewhere away from any living thing as nobody should have to deal with neighbours as batshit crazy as you

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 13/05/2019 16:35
Confused

some of the water ran onto our parking space too. Luckily it missed my car

Seriously? It's water!!!

SilverySurfer · 13/05/2019 17:05

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy

It may only be water to you but who knows what damage it would do the OP's car. Shock I'm betting every time it rains she rushes out with a particularly large umbrella to protect it Grin

GreenFingersWouldBeHandy · 13/05/2019 17:08

@Silverysurfer Grin

This is one of the most bonkers threads I've ever read.

44migraines · 13/05/2019 20:26

I don't know anything about your history with these people but this story makes you and your husband sound incredibly aggressive and petty. If my neighbours came aggressively banging on my door as if they wanted to start a fight, I wouldn't answer either. And calling the police over this is petty, vindictive and potentially illegal (wasting police time and filing false reports are both crimes)

Witchtower · 13/05/2019 20:45

OP sounds like a batshit neighbour from hell 😂😂😂

N0tbloodylikely · 13/05/2019 21:09

Utterly ridiculous behaviour. I'd say give your head a wobble but I think you're too far gone. I hope this thread has given you some perspective!
