Disgusting painter opposite

76 replies

The house opposite have a painter there. He keeps having a break and sitting either in his car or on his car. He's been scratching his balls, picking his nose, spitting and smoking. He's right in my view, would I be unreasonable to ask him to move up the street a bit, so someone else can have a turn?

At least he sounds a great multi-tasker!

Disquieted1 · 26/05/2020 17:03

You notice what he's doing when he's sat in his car?
Are you in the homewatch perchance?

Sertchgi123 · 26/05/2020 17:05

It's just where I'm sitting and how his car is parked. I've moved now, so I can't see him.

Yuk. He sounds grim 🤢

BlueJava · 26/05/2020 17:12

Ew! I would personally just move so I can't see him. He won't be there forever (assuming you don't live opposite Buck Pal or somewhere just as huge).

Sirzy · 26/05/2020 17:13

Your paying way too much attention to what a complete stranger is doing.

SoupDragon · 26/05/2020 17:14

I've moved now, so I can't see him.

There you go, problem solved!

Bluntness100 · 26/05/2020 17:14

Suspect he was doing it because you were watching him.

x2boys · 26/05/2020 17:15

Just don't lookConfused

joystir59 · 26/05/2020 17:15

I think you fancy him a bit

peperethecat · 26/05/2020 17:17

How on earth do you get though life without being permanently offended?

Macncheeseballs · 26/05/2020 17:21

He sounds gross, offer him some talcum powder for his sweaty bollocks

LolaDarkdestroyer · 26/05/2020 17:23

This is funny you're obviously perving. Scratching his bollocks ffs how do you even see that shit.

NotKeenOnSwede · 26/05/2020 17:25

People who spit are FUCKING RANK! They should be fined. It's fucking repulsive. Bastards.

Popuppippa · 26/05/2020 17:25

Ugh at the spitting thing. That's repulsive.

There should be a whacking great fine for people who spit in the street - especially at the moment.

Herpesfreesince03 · 26/05/2020 17:28

Is he dishy op?

Broxigirl · 26/05/2020 17:29

@joystir59 Grin

Was thinking that myself

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 26/05/2020 17:29

well I would say "you need to get out more" Wink- but under the circumstances, just stop staring at him out of the window.

SuckingDieselFella · 26/05/2020 17:30

Do you have a bell or horn?

Ring it or honk it every time he scratches.

Eckhart · 26/05/2020 17:32

Someone on Mumsnet has made a post about spying on an innocent member of the public and finding them offensive.

The post horrifies me to my very core, and I can barely deal with my anguish. Would I be unreasonable to ask them to post on a different forum?

Eckhart · 26/05/2020 17:34

*Do you have a bell or horn?

Haha, brilliant! I had someone follow me round a busy market once, who made a loud slurp every time I licked my ice cream. He eventually made himself known and we both waved and laughed from a distance. Never spoke.

pooopypants · 26/05/2020 17:36

I've heard that jigsaw are a good way to pass the time OP Hmm

Laiste · 26/05/2020 17:41

He's been scratching his balls, picking his nose, spitting and smoking

All at the same time??

1forAll74 · 26/05/2020 17:42

Nothing exciting happens like that where I live. I have only seen a couple of cats having a bit of scrap today !

Toilenstripes · 26/05/2020 17:44

When he scratches his balls does he then give his dick a tug?
