Neighbour trimmed my bush

[Colycola]

The next door neighbour whose drive sits to the side of my house has hacked back my lavender bush that may have draped itself on his driveway but has in no way impeded on his parking.

He has then dumped said lavender bush trimmings on the grass verge directly outside my house.

I really don’t want an argument. Do I just ignore him and put him down as being a twat. He is really overly aggressive generally.

@Popcornismandatory

Just for repeating the word "bush" in an increasingly fnarr fnarr 'aren't I clever' way you are being very fucking unreasonable.

Grow up!

You've not been here long, then.

The rest of us will talk about our bushes willy-nilly, thank you very much and goodbye.

Am I the only person who thought this was going to be about something completely different?

I literally just looked at the thread title and giggled.

The thread title had me in stitches - sorry, dirty mind 🙄

My bush is a nuisance, it’s scratchy and wild
Lockdown Bush 2.0

Ok no one else say bush. It’s really immature.

I googled scientific term so will now only refer to it as my Lavandula angustifolia.

Thank you.

Definitely beyond time to cut back your lavender to the wood. It will do it good in the long run. Better done in September according to Gardeners Question Time. I should go rount and thank him and maybe make him a little pillow of lavender to put in his undergarments drawer as a special thank you for being such a lovely neighbour.

I too thought of a different kind of bush!

@PutYourHeadscarfOnNorma actually I have been here since it was all fields.
What's your point?

Oh and before you all pile on with your "were the bushes cleared to make way for the fields"

Beat you to it

Your neighbour is a bullying idiot. Your kid was doing nothing wrong skating on the road / does he complain about cars driving past too?
Trimming your lavender is fine if you haven’t done it / but a normal person would talk to you first.
He’s a lout.

So you've had a shouty prick in your bush? What a twat.

I see now why you were annoyed by the OP's stumbling attempts at humour but, in fairness to her, we can't all have the rapier wit of Oscar Wilde like yourself.

No, no you're not. You only had to read about three posts to find that out.

(standing by for the inevitable cries of "just spit out my tea" and "classics, this had to go in classics")

@ivfbeenbusy

Well he's allowed to cut back anything over hanging onto his property and he's followed the letter of the law by returning the clippings to you 🤷‍♀️

Ignore it - he's not done anything wrong

and now you have lots of lavender which you can dry and use to stuff cushions. Great Xmas presents!

Oh FFS. Yes, we know the OP is making a crap innuendo, and nobody's spitting their tea out. It's not that funny. But so what? It makes a change from fucking Covid. Perhaps the thread ought to have some kind of "crap innuendo"/"lighthearted"/'trigger" warning for those of a more fun-sponge persuasion?

What do you do when Wuthering Heights is played on the radio? Do you have an apoplectic fit when there's a documentary about Presidents of the United States of America on the telly?

Make him a Xmas lavender bag? Perhaps get daughter to deliver it on roller skates?

I'm afraid I thought exactly the same. I just have a bad mind.
No that’s the joke isn’t it? OP did it deliberately.

@Ideasplease322

SchadenfreudePersonified There should be a support group for people living under the shadow of neighbour’s sycamore trees.

There are about seven tuning up the side of my house - ugly and straggly. They dump the most enormous amount of leaves - about a foot deep at the moment in my garden.

The awful lady living next door to this house is a typical Karen (and I hate that sexist term, but she fits the bill perfectly). Yelling and complaining - her view was I should have the trees taking over my garden because they have her some privacy (I have a six foot fence, I couldn’t even see he when she was scolding me in her superior manner).

As you can tell I really hold a grudge😂. I hate hearing her voice In the garden.

How much privacy does she want, for heaven's sake? What is she getting up to in her garden that she needs to be a hazard to low-flying aircraft?

Will she be quite so blase when her bstarding tree roots damage your property and your insurance company sues the rse off her?

We only had two trees to deal with*. They've been down three years and I'm still pulling up seedlings that have been quietly plotting, and then suddenly think it's safe to sprout.

I've NEVER known anyone used them as a hedge like your neighbour - that is just effing ridiculous. They aren't a hedge plant. They just grow up (and up, and up) and out.

You have my sympathy. She sounds mad.

Just be glad he trimmed it rather than taking some wax strips to it.

It’s your responsibility to make sure it doesn’t go over the boundary tbh.
I’m a keen gardener and would be furious if someone cut my precious plants, but they’d have no need to as I am careful to keep them within the boundary.
I think you are perhaps letting your personal feelings on him bring a bit of a twat cloud your judgement.
He’s done nothing wrong imo

More interesting than a wax.
