Neighbours having a BBQ

[paulhollywoodshairgel]

Twice in the last week our neighbours have have friends and kids over for back garden BBQs. AIBU to report it? Husband is reluctant because he doesn't want any aggro with them.

It just feels so unfair. Why do they get to see friends and carry on as normal? I'd love to see my friends and family but we are adhering to the lockdown.

Just needed to vent as I'm so cross.

Please report it were currently having a bbq for dinner but with the people who live in our household ... as much as we would love to see our family and friends like most on here were sticking to the bloody rules!

We have the same issue. We have new neighbours, they moved in 3 weeks back, last weekend they had what looked to be 1 set of their parents staying, today, same parents pitched up.

We are sticking to the rules, have made sacrifices and have had holiday and wedding cancelled since lock down, I'd love to see my parents but... Rules are place for a reason. I already dislike our new neighbours for being selfish arseholes!

Report it. I think my neighbours are planning a barbecue with friends. Lots of drinks etc set out plus lots of chairs in the garden. I will be reporting this. If this doesn’t stop then we will be in lockdown for longer. It really pisses me off.

mind your own business

Rubbish! It is her business. Shitty behaviour like this is everyone's business because it impacts everyone.

Covidiots will make the lockdown longer and/or stricter, increase transmission paths, could make themselves ill (I'm not worried about them but am about the NHS staff endangered by caring for them and by the people who might not have access to intensive care beds or ventilators because stupid selfish people are using them) and could make others ill.

Report away becaus the more people break the rules the longer we have to go through this.

AIBU to be disappointed that all my neighbours appear to be totally compliant with lockdown and consequently I haven't got anyone I can contemplate reporting?

I think I must be getting bored after 2 weeks SI and 3 weeks of lockdown and I'm getting an overwhelming urge to make mischief.

Mind your own business. If you don't like what they are doing, make sure you don't do it yourself.

Really?

So when they keep spreading this disease and one of your family ends up in icu on a ventilator and you work out where they probably picked it up, you'd be ok with this utterly deplorable, immoral and selfish behaviour?

Yeah a lot of people are having BBQs today around here, inviting family and friends. I CBA to grass them in, they won't stop in the long run.

My BIL has been handed a injunction from his HA. Does he care? No. Still having people round. He says if he ever goes to prison over it what difference does it make, seen as if he followed the injunction it would be the same thing. Being locked up with no one seeing him.

I think some people just don't like being told no! I know someone at work who has been fined by police twice already. Not sure how many fines they will get before other action is taken.

I don't judge, what good would it do.

Report it. They are risking spreading the virus.

Report. All of our lives are on hold and it’s these idiots that will mean it lasts longer. Anyone too stupid or selfish to follow lockdown deserves fines.

Report

Yes REPORT THEM NOW please don’t hesitate.

My father is currently in hospital and tested positive for Covid-19. He has only been over the door twice since January to attend medical appointments. We think he has maybe picked it up from a Carer. Who probably unknowingly came in to contact with a selfish idiot like your neighbour and cronies. I haven’t seen any of out family and friends for a month due to an underlying health condition.

Report it

I've just looked up reporting my neighbours and it says not to report people who aren't socially distancing in their gardens. Only the most severe cases of people working when ill, coughing on others or hosting large planned parties.

The right thing to do it report it (however I get where you DH is coming from I would probably be too scared of any fallout to actually do it!).

Treaclepie19 wonder why it says that? Don't report people who aren't socially distancing? Only planned large gatherings?

So an unplanned large gathering is ok then...

@CrazyTimesAreOccuring they're having too many reports.

Go on you local police force site and find their Covid reporting system.

It does actually just say planned gatherings rather than large but still.

No, OP shouldn't mind their own business.

I would report them.

Report them. If they are having friends and family over, they need reporting. Its idiots like this that will keep us in lockdown for longer and put dear friends and family who are front line workers at risk, all because of their selfish desire for a BBQ.

Report

Report. I already buried my grandad to coronavirus and now my uncle and gran are in hospital too.
My 3 year old has also had it.

I’d report it. Usually I’d say mind your own business but as deaths per day are nearing 1000 and we apparently haven’t even got to the peak yet, I’d say everyone who is continuously and purposely breaking the lockdown rules is everyone’s business.

Also I’m fucking fed up and the longer the selfish few break the lockdown rules the longer the rest of us who are sticking by the rules have to stay at home.

I’d report them
