To think my friend is disgusting for reporting this woman?

[ellt]

A woman at my friends stable moved her two horses today to a new yard. According to my friend, You are not allowed to move horses to a new yard unless it's to do with the welfare of the horse.
My friend reported this woman to the police and then all proudly told me what she had done!
I wouldn't dream of reporting anyone, unless there's a massive party going on. I told my friend that it's a bit extreme to report someone for just moving her horses!

Maybe she moved them so she didn't have to see your friend. What a waste of police time!

What a waste of police time. No doubt the woman had a good reason for moving the horses. Maybe your friend should of asked what the problem was?

Ain’t no one so bitchy as horsey women I’m afraid. That’s awful

@EmbarrassingAdmissions I am so shocked by the police behaviour in that video - that poor girl having just got out of hospital. That has just brought me to tears. The police handled that situation to on extremely badly. I certainly hope they do a full investigation.

Sad twat.

Your friend sounds a real Stasi type. I never understood how otherwise sane Germans went along with the Holocaust but now I see how this happened.
It’s terrifying how our friends have turned informant in a heartbeat.

She'd now be an ex-friend of mine. Can't stand pettiness and that's what your friend is guilty of. If you've got horses at her yard I'd reckon maybe you should consider finding a new, friendlier yard yourself! Thank God I have mine at home and don't have to put up with all the bitchiness & backstabbing that seems to be rife at some yards!

I was going to say similar as @cittigirl....

It's not clear (to me) if your friend owns the yard or just has her horse stabled there....Either way if your "friend" behaves as nastily generally as she has demonstrated in reporting the other owner, perhaps this is why the woman moved her horses!!

Livery yards can be vipers’ nests. The horses are lovely. But my god, some of those women. And it is always women. Not all of them. Reckon your friend escaping them would be considered a welfare issue.

Were the horses wearing masks?

The stasi have really coming out of the woodwork in the last 10 months!!

I wish people would stop using the Stasi comparison. It’s wrong.
Read about what the Stasi did. Torture. Murder. Inflicting life long physiological damage on people.

Horsey people are so bitchy

@praepondero

Does anyone else read the threads with 'Disgusting' in the title as 'Tissshhhgusshhtink' and imagines frothing, furiously typing person consciously inserting random capital letters into their furious posts, whilst gently dribbling from the left (always left??) corner of their mouth.

Or am I weird?

I am weird.

I definitely find it a weird, overly-intense adjective to use about a person, if it's not in relation to their personal hygiene or some kind of unspeakably revolting crime they've committed.

OP, I know nothing about horses and the rights and wrongs thereof, but YABU for talking about your friend in such terms.

its strange really because, apart from your friend being reported , this lock down is so different to the first, then the roads were so quiet, now,, they still seem quite busy and there were plenty in marks and spencers rummaging through the sales so an assistant told me

Why report someone? Life is hard enough, especially now.

Wow it does sound petty

@Nanalisa60

Who's been tortured or murdered then....

The police must be so sick of these arseholes. I would guess there are a lot of people like your friend

There is an unpleasant underbelly to our population that is spiteful and punitive, they are in the minority but there is enough of them. They watch what other people do and report, even when it’s complaint.

It’s honestly quite disturbing, these people walk amongst us. There’s a thread on here where someone has posted that if you break the rules the poster thinks you should be denied treatment and left to die.

I agree

So do I.

What people like this (the person who made the report) always seem to overlook is that the guidance is generally not law and the list of reasonable excuses is not exhaustive.

Yes, this ^

During the first lockdown my neighbour kept threatening to report me to the police as she felt I was leaving the house too often (twice a day to go and do u horses). Even when I explained where I was going about a million times she was still adamant it wasn’t a reasonable excuse.

These people seem to have no idea, or imagination, that others lives are very different to theirs. What’s essential to one person isn’t essential to another

Moving horses because you have concerns for their care is absolutely fine and if I had a friend like that, they’d be an ex friend.

Your friend is a first class twat.

Me too, I clicked on the link - shocking abuse of a person with a disability by police in the UK. Awfully distressing to watch.

@Glitteryone. Have to agree with you , it is the only word to describe her apart from busybody which is too nice for her
