@HaudYerWheeshtYaWeeBellend I am in the UK, we didn't have wind and rain yesterday. Not everywhere in the UK receives the same weather Hmm. Don't treat my like in stupid. It's a regular thing, especially with the warm weather recently.

@Thepigeonsarecoming that doesn't solve my problem right now. I can't exactly move furniture on my own.

@3LittleMonkeyz I do close the windows but it seeps through, it's vile.

@DamnYouAutoCabbage because it's not happening to, you can't understand. You are one of those who can't see past their own circumstances.

@Freezerrr love this idea Grin

"This is why I can't stand smokers, don't give a toss that they are impacting on someone else's life"
"Stop being such a tnuc".
With an attitude like this that's probably why they're ignoring your initial request.

Put a load of plants on the windowsill - these will need watering or spraying every time they start smoking - and you could accidentally miss the plant pots when you're watering of course.

@PissedOff27 you've already had a post deleted for being abusive. My children aren't 'poor', they have a stable mother you see.

The way you talk to people is a disgrace. If you talk to your neighbour like that, perhaps they do it on purpose. You need to address your attitude, it's an Internet forum. Everyone with an opinion can comment, shock horror!

Your neighbour may oblige if you're actually nice.

I would just ask politely again and repeat if necessary, eventually it will stop.

PissedOff27 · 06/06/2020 15:51

@TARSCOUT I say things like that anonymously, I absolutely hate confrontation. It's their selfish attitude that's the problem, I'm actually very polite to them, especially with my 'initial request'

@@DamnYouAutoCabbage I am nice to them, I've not been nice to you as you're not a particularly nice person yourself. I treat people how they treat me. Calling me unstable when you don't me? I'd say you're being abusive right there.

PissedOff27 · 06/06/2020 15:55

@comingintomyown thank you I will do that.

OP posts:
PissedOff27 · 06/06/2020 15:57

@Freezerrr thank you Smile. Both me and my daughter are asthmatic, I just didn't think it was relevant really as they should be a bit more considerate regardless!

I managed to get the council to act when it happened to us, but they were smoking weed so I had a bit more leverage. Took about 6 months mind you

PissedOff27 · 06/06/2020 17:38

@okiedokieme think I'm prepared to move if it takes that long 😂

We have this exact problem. There are 3 adults in the house and they go outside to smoke, and in rotation are constantly smoking, from 6am to nearly midnight. It comes directly into our bedroom (where my newborn also smokes). Haven’t felt able to say anything though. And yes, it does reek.

BowiesJumper · 06/06/2020 17:46

My newborn doesn’t smoke, he sleeps Blush

PissedOff27 · 06/06/2020 18:54

@BowiesJumper I feel your pain 😞
