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?

For grieving for her dad. With her family

I'm dreadfully sorry for your friends loss. But that's one of the most awful things about this virus, people not being able to be with others after a loss. I also have experience of this. Sadly it doesnt really matter what is going on for people, the guidelines are there to slow down the spread of this virus, ease the pressure on the NHS and make sure there is a ventilator for anyone who needs one. Otherwise there will be more people grieving for lost loved ones.

@LagunaBubbles I do understand and that situation is probably clouding my view. I spoke to her for 4 and a half hours last night trying to console her - she's absolutely distraught and the fine/visit from the police tipped her over the edge. I'm deeply concerned about her mental health.

I have red hot fury for her neighbours at the minute and am half tempted to go and bang on their door myself.
I won't though.

Thank you for everything you're doing. I apologise. Take care, please

Would all these posters saying no one else's business have said the same about people ignoring the blackout during the war, or carelessly spreading confidential information?

Report. I’m a proud curtain twitcher

Although Actuallyitseugenes example is extreme. Sometimes people have to use judgment.

Stupid of them but tbh the damage is already done and at least this way they are giving you a bit of peace so I'd be inclined to let it go.

Thank you and I apologise to if I came across as too extreme, I'm tired, exhausted, desperately worried about bringing the virus home to my severely asthmatic DH (my dreams are full of him dying at the moment). And all I read and see in the media and on my local pages is people not following the guidelines. People should be reporting anyone they see however I do realise that some people will relish in reporting.
I do hope you're friend is OK. If in doubt encourage her to see help, whilst a lot of NHS services are on hold just now emergency mental health services will still exist if people are at risk.

My dad is in hospital with coronavirus and will die in the next few days. I can’t visit him because I don’t want to risk bringing it back to my baby. These people can go to hell as far as I’m concerned. I don’t give two shits if people are curtain twitching or not. Their selfishness is unforgivable. Let’s not forget who’s actually in the wrong here.

I am so so sorry for what you're going through. No words I can offer will comfort you but I'm thinking of you.

Rule breaking can kill people
Curtain twitching by those following the rules to benefit everyone won’t

So it’s pretty bloody obvious which is worst

Yabu. You never know when you may need to be friendly with them in the future. Stop snooping.

What's the difference between visiting family members and going shopping

Report it.
Don’t break rules if you don’t want to get caught

Thank you @LagunaBubbles x

What's the difference between visiting family members and going shopping

Going shopping you go alone and practice social distancing. Visiting family is mixing 2 separate households which is strictly against the guidelines. This has been well publicised so I'm not sure what the confusion is.

Barely a few posts above you a poster tells us her Dad is dying and she can't say goodbye. This virus is spreading because of people not following the guidelines. And you have the nerve to post stop snooping", that's disgusting.

Our neighbours on one side are doing same. Relatives visiting to do the garden and have BBQ. But I kind of see it like an opportunity for nature to use a little “Darwinism”. These idiots are more likely to catch the virus by mixing households afterall.

We live in a society where a large %age of the population have to be told by the Government to wash their hands. They hoard food, then throw it away as it goes out of date.

They're completely incapable of intelligent thought.

It's like whack-a-mole.... one goes down and another fucker pops right up.

Would all these posters saying no one else's business have said the same about people ignoring the blackout during the war, or carelessly spreading confidential information?

You could also ask would they have said the same about people hiding others or having resistance meet ups, both of which would have had death as a likely consequence.

I have read somewhere and cnt now find the link that police have been completely overwhelmed and inundated with reports of people breaking guidelines. The report also said a large percentage of these reports were either incorrect, no guidelines being broken or often where there is a personal grievance of some nature.

I blame cameron for this, he started this snooping on neighbours to create divide.
Have you really not got your own life OP? really nothing better to do than spy on neighbours? No hobbies.
Bake a cake and wash up ffs.

So sorry.

Some adults are acting like children. I don't think people are curtain twitchers they are just so shocked how entitled or thick others are behaving.

"The dad is a retired police officer"

Then nothing will come of the report. If an officer does attend then all you will have done is put the officer at risk and wasted time. They don't nick their own.

Before reporting ,she sure you know the full story.

,y neighbours didn't report but did ,ale side comments towers is about having an solder relative visiting is and having our bil here for a night. Plus we've had to be out and about it but in the car - mainly mil and sometimes dh.

We put them straight very bluntly. Dh's,father was dying. Bil couldn't do the journey in one day plus wanted to be there when he passed. Mil had already moved in for the whole duration once our self isolation finished and when she was going to be home alone. This is a move for the duration of the shutdown. They've had to be in the car on occasions to deal with a paperwork and admin with the death. We've had to all leave the house for the funeral. And dh is classed as a key worker too so sometimes needs to visit his office for files and mail,

They are definitely the type to report is but fortunately they decided to make the odd comment instead. They stopped once they actually heard what was happening - or at least they've stopped making comments to us in our hearing anyway.

Sweeney. That really is a ridiculous comparison. One group is trying to save lives, the other is supporting the mass murder of innocent people.

Please think before you post.

My neighbours across the road have their children and grandchildren visiting again today, for about the third time during lockdown.

I can't be arsed reporting them - I figure it's natural selection at work - but I do hope they die quietly at home when they get corona, rather than going into hospital, draining NHS resources and putting nursing staff at risk.
