Report neighbours with grown up children visiting?

[NameChange3667]

My neighbours have both their grown up children plus partners seemingly staying for the easter weekend.
It makes a change that the neighbourhood are not having to put up with their usual excessive drinking, loud music and loud sweary, crude converstions that generally go on every time the sun comes out and they all come round, maybe they think if they are quiet then nobody will notice?
Why do they think the advice about not travelling to see family over the holiday weekend doesn't apply to them?
Would you report them to the police?

Yes report them

Yes, agree- report them

Suddenly a nation of curtain twitchers and snitches. I have no idea what my neighbours are doing or who is visiting them because I’m not constantly monitoring other people’s comings and goings.

There was a great info graphic about how to manage stress levels during lockdown and basically boiled down to things you can control and things you can’t.

Top of the list of things you can’t control: other people.

Part of me is thinking 'meh'... the other part is 'fucking bastards have spoiled every fucking nice day at the weekend for years and years with their boring, rude family, now's my chance to get back at them.'

The dad is a retired police officer

Suggest you get a life OP.

Yes, report them!

Can’t believe all these curtain twitchers on Mumsnet.

The police have no jurisdiction on this matter within a private dwelling.

Report to whom?
And what do expect might happen?

And again what would happen if you stopped looking out of your window and monitoring others.

Read about the Stasi, instead of spending so much time at your window and see where that ended.

Yep, I agree, it is petty and pointless of me, and I hate the rage I am feeling, but, you know, YEARS of notbeing able to sit in my own back garden and enjoy nice weather and peace an quiet..

Maybe I will get my nerve up and go and ask them why they think they don't need to follow the advice. I'd love to see my grown up kids this weekend.

Too many people, wanting to report neighbours on here.

Rather be a curtain twitcher than a selfish arse who thinks the rules are for everyone else. Or an apologist for the selfish arses.

The longer people don't take this seriously, the more people will die and the longer we all have to suffer.

Not rocket science is it. Curtain twitch and report away.

Whilst I don't agree with their behaviour, you need to move house if they are spoiling the enjoyment of your home and have been for years.

Having been in a neighbour dispute, I,would never advise anyone to retaliate or do anything that could escalate falling out with the people who live next door to you. It's absolutely horrific.

Our neighbours bought a drum kit and played the drums every night for hours so,we couldn't put out baby to bed. They set fire to our front door. They followed us in cars. They spat on our baby,

Same here, really pissed me off today, I would love to see my family but haven’t for 3 weeks. The twats next door have their grown children in and out. Selfish bastards, and to make it worse they have the clap every week like they are doing their bit. My arse.

Well I wouldn't have any hesitation in reporting, I want to keep my life and that of my loved ones and its thanks to people not following the rules that more people are dying.

Too many people, wanting to report neighbours on here

Too many people dying because of selfish arses that think they are above the rules.

Can’t believe all these curtain twitchers on Mumsnet

Can't believe the amount of people on here not taking this seriously.

I'm actually despairing at some of these replies. I'm a Nurse going to work risking my life and watching people die without their loved ones and some people have the nerve to criticise someone wanting to report people breaking the guidelines. It's disgusting.

I have been told by someone that works in a police station that they just can't cope with the number of calls they have reporting neighbours. So chances are, nothing will happen if you report anyway. Public sector cuts over the years haven't helped of course. But that's what people voted for.

@PeacockPies They set fire to your door and spat on your baby?
That's fucking horrendous. I am sorry you went through that. Verminous cunts.

See @NameChange3667 ^that's the stuff that needs to be reported.
Your neighbours having their children over? No.

I can't stand grasses. I've always told my DD to pack it in when she's tattling (as has everyone else I know with their kids) because it's just annoying and nobody wants to be that person, until now.

No
Because I am a cowardy custard.
But I would be hoping that somebody else did.

Too many people flaunting the rules making their neighbours want to report them!!

All those shouting curtain twitchers blah blah, are you flaunting the rules?!

Your neighbours having their children over? No

Have you read and understood the guidelines about not mixing households?

Nope, only go out for essentials, but i am due back to work Wednesday night.

Yanbu - I can’t believe that people are actually so immature and ridiculous to call those concerned or reporting major breaches of the guidelines ‘snitches’ and ‘grasses’ - it’s not school, no one stole your pen or your crisps. It’s a biggest worldwide pandemic for over 100 years and a lot of brainless twats aren’t taking it seriously.
It is responsible and sensible to let the authorities know.

Maybe I will get my nerve up and go and ask them why they think they don't need to follow the advice.

Please don't do this OP. They're opening themselves up to infection. Don't you do it too, just to make a point.

Pinki no I'm not flaunting the rules. I'm going to work every day. I'm missing my adult son because he doesnt live with me. Why would anyone flaunt the guidelines unless they were stupid or selfish to risk catching and passing on something that is killing people.

And fuck off with your bollocks about the stasi - that was a communist controlled government trying to keep control of innocent citizens not people telling the democratically elected government and authorities about people risking their lives and others.
