Dead snowman blocking my gate

TheQueenInTheNorth · 09/01/2021 20:46

I just went to let my cat in and saw that someone has dumped what looks like destroyed snowman in my gate, I've just had to get a spade and remove it all which was a pain as it had hardened so was pretty heavy as I have a daughter who uses a wheelchair sometimes as she has a neuromuscular condition which can affect her walking at times. AIBU in thinking someone has probably done this on purpose and be really annoyed about it as there were no snowmen out on the front an hour ago so they must have brought it from somewhere else Hmm

It doesn't look like a snowman, just like a pile of snow. Looks like someone has had a bit of fun and dumped it there.

I doubt it's anything to do with the wheelchair, more likely to be some teenagers messing about with a giant snowball and it ending up at your house, the trails look like bike trails to me. It could have been a snowman someone has built and another has destroyed?

If it IS a snowman-corpse there will be a carrot, and coal. Maybe a scarf. Do a CSI job on it.

Have you actually checked that he is dead. He might be just sleeping.

@Lemmeout

Motif ! Grin Well you are bu to boast about the snow. Not a flake here.
You can have some of ours, kind of glad the schools are closed atm so we don't really need to go anywhere in it. Also the bin men didn't empty our side of the street and I still have part of a turkey corpse in my bin from christmas Xmas Envy

Perhaps he was Walking In The Air and fell off?

Have you sent for Snow Patrol?

@TheQueenInTheNorth

These are the tracks, looks like some kind of wheels. I am the last house on a row that are set back with a slope so no way someone would be passing my house with a pushchair and I haven't taken the wheelchair out, more likely they have taken it down the disability ramp and then over to my house and dumped it there Xmas Confused
Pulled a giant snowball on a sledge and given up is much more likely

saw loads of children hauling snow home today

For some reason, I read the title as “dead postman blocking my gate “. I thought to myself “why is she telling us, call an ambulance!” 😂

I was hoping for a Calvin and Hobbes thread :(

ladymalfoy45 · 09/01/2021 21:56

@FrippEnos yes! The TRex ripping through the snow man town!

HeadIsFucked · 09/01/2021 21:59

Hmm. Is it wrong that your post just made me feel like going and making a snowman and dumping it infront of neighbours gate just to..be an arse?!

Sorry this happened to you OP though, sounds like its a right fuck on in your situation.

But I cannot deny this post brought out my childish side and now considering doing it to all the neighbours so they all whinge on tomorrow (not the elderly ones who would have issues moving it though)

tinseloatcake · 09/01/2021 21:59

my nanny ran over my snowman...

Would that be a freeze burn then crotch? Your detailed knowledge is suspicious.
SpudsandGravy · 09/01/2021 22:07

I think I see carrots, so I infer that it must have been a snow person. Could be it felt ill and tried to get home but didn't make it :-(

One of the best titles for a mn post ever.

MushMonster · 09/01/2021 22:12

Please not Jessica! You know what happens when she is around . She never arrives after the event!

Better Sherlock. He will find all about it in a whizz!

This is snow joke people....

Furries · 09/01/2021 22:31

No advice, but this is the best thread title I’ve seen for a long time. Thank you for making me smile.

Brenna24 · 09/01/2021 22:31

Those tracks look like sledge marks to me. You need to look out for likely culprits with sledges.

NoOneOwnsTheRainbow · 09/01/2021 22:32

Wait a minute...
Is this the new series of Midwinter Murders? Grin
