Disgusting painter opposite

76 replies

Sertchgi123 · 26/05/2020 16:52

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?

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

It's almost as if you should've done that in the first place.

I witnessed some goose porn today.

pooopypants · 26/05/2020 17:55

goose porn you say @high?? Tell me more!

66redballons · 26/05/2020 17:59

Stop watching...
AIBU
I’m working today painting someone’s house in the heat, some nosey bastard has been watching me all day. Would BU to tell them to stop stalking me? Even if I sit in my car for a tea break, stalker keeps twitching curtains still watching me!

wenhen11 · 26/05/2020 18:04

Ugh whatever about picking his nose and scratching his bits, the spitting considering all that's going on right now is vile

MouthBreathingRage · 26/05/2020 18:06

Report it to 101.

Qwerty543 · 26/05/2020 18:16

Yeah. You are right OP. Go right out there and demand he move out of your eye line immediately. How dare he occupy some outside space that has nothing to do with you.

MissConductUS · 26/05/2020 18:22

You could always set his car ablaze. That would teach him.

SuckingDieselFella · 26/05/2020 18:25

If you can set his car ablaze in a socially distant manner then you should do so.

Its completely proportionate if he's scratching his balls.

Nogoodnickname · 26/05/2020 18:27

I really do despair!

This Covid situation has made every other person a snooping, curtain twitching, neighbourhood watch, nosey neighbour.

SuckingDieselFella · 26/05/2020 18:30

And it's made the painter a dirty exhibitionist.

He knows every woman in the street is watching and he's LOVING it.

Get his car ablaze immediately. I'll do it myself if you live near me.

MissConductUS · 26/05/2020 18:31

A petrol bomb tossed from several meters away should do it, with the added benefit of eliminating any coronavirus in the car.

vanillandhoney · 26/05/2020 18:31

Close your curtains and stop peering out your window all day!

SuckingDieselFella · 26/05/2020 18:32

Yes, but don't google how to make a petrol bomb.

It could be difficult to explain when the police investigate.

SpencerReidsMistress · 26/05/2020 18:35

YABU just for being a curtain twitcher. If you see this again then move like you did today, problem solved

There has been a marked drop in goose decorum since the start of lockdown. They've no shame.

MissConductUS · 26/05/2020 18:44

Unless anyone gets the wrong impression, I was suggesting setting the car ablaze when it's unoccupied if at all possible. Making a petrol bomb is simplicity itself, no need to google.

Washyourhandsyoufilthyanimal · 26/05/2020 18:48

You must be staring through his window to see him scratch his balls. Get a life OP and just don’t look.

donquixotedelamancha · 26/05/2020 18:51

Yes, but don't google how to make a petrol bomb. It could be difficult to explain when the police investigate.

Nah, just explain that you were doing it to test your eyesight, as any caring parent would- it works wonders.

ScreamingBeans · 26/05/2020 18:53

I think you fancy him a bit

Grin
CambsAlways · 26/05/2020 18:56

Well as long as he wasn’t painting in my house I couldn’t care less what he was doing! I don’t really watch people sitting in their cars to be honest

SuckingDieselFella · 26/05/2020 18:57

@donquixotedelamancha

Or you could tell the police that you were trying to save the painter's eyesight.

He isn't just scratching down there.

Specialized101 · 26/05/2020 18:59

Whats his work like though ? Some of the best artists are a little arrogant and uncouth,maybe hes the Gordon Ramsey of the paint world,suffering for his art and all that.....

JudyCoolibar · 26/05/2020 19:06

What is forcing you to look out of the window?

Cheeseandwin5 · 26/05/2020 19:12

I think the real offended party should be your neighbours who have some nosy saddo staring at their house all day.
