Cheeky fckery

Hmmmm I have never come across much cheeky fckery before I must say

But my cousin is taking the fcking biscuit right now

Not heard from him in years
Random call few weeks back to ask if he could help to cut down some trees on my land (we never asked him to do so)

So few weeks later
He has made his way to one of our lovely areas of land with huge tractors - made a total mess

Got a random guy to come cut trees - no idea who he is but he throws his litter on the road every day for us to pick up

Now I would say he has cut down 40 trees
Looks like my cousin is building something and has seen the price of timber so tried to pretend he was doing us a favour

I'm raging with him
He has left such a mess

If I say something my elderly father will get upset but it just pisses me off so much I'm tempted to put a lock on the gate so he can't take the rest of the trees away 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

Would I be unreasonable to do so

Or just say nothing and never let him near the farm again ?!!

Cheeky sod when my dad was sick with covid not one word from him and he lives 5 minutes away

Some people are just dicks

Do it!
Hope you can restore the site.

CharlotteUnaNatalieThompson · 16/07/2021 16:08

Sorry, you're saying he has cut down 40 trees without permission and taken them away?

Why have you not called the police???

SchrodingersImmigrant · 16/07/2021 16:10

Is it your farm? Just say "stop you can't take down more trees"
I don't understand why you let him in the first place.

Aquamarine1029 · 16/07/2021 16:10

You said yes to him cutting the trees? If so, you have only yourself to be angry with. Why don't you tell him to never come back?

Faranth · 16/07/2021 16:10

I feel like you've missed a bit out - when he phoned the first time, why didn't you say 'no, we like our trees, we don't want them cut down'?

Did you actually want some trees cut? If you did, surely you agreed which specific trees were to go? If he's cut more than agreed then I'd definitely tell him to bugger off, lock the gate, and tell your DF he's lucky you haven't reported your cousin for criminal damage!

Queenie6655 · 16/07/2021 16:11

Sorry he rang me and I said yes I was confused as I thought my father may have suggested he help clear some trees off a lane way

Totally wrong
He just had a free for all with his trashy friend there to help him

The mess oh my gosh the mess !!!!

The cheeky bastard I'm so fuming but can't do much about it
Only wish I had the sense to say 'ah it has been sorted thanks for offering ' right at the start

What an arsehole! Lock the gate!

Yes, you can. Confused

Queenie6655 · 16/07/2021 16:13

I have a padlock and chain ready

Why oh why did I not question it further I will never know
Idiot

He rang me on my way into a meeting but I really should have said I'm not sure what you mean let me call you back

I genuinely thought it was clearing a few fallen trees out of the way

I wish I had some before and after pic

You will have to tell him no, otherwise he will just lift gate off the hinges.

SchrodingersImmigrant · 16/07/2021 16:15

It's not even the initial yes. You absolutely could have stopped it at any time between then and now especially with the other guy littering every dayConfused
Just tell him to stop

CharlotteUnaNatalieThompson · 16/07/2021 16:15

Then you tell him by phone now and followed up with a letter that he is not to come in your land anymore and you do not give him permission to cut anymore down.

Unless you told him he could have the wood though I'd ask him to return the trees - they are yours after and you could potentially sell them, but actually I'd prefer to have a fucking big bonfire than let the cheeky fucker have the wood for free. I don't you'll get them back but it will make him sweat

Queenie6655 · 16/07/2021 16:16

Yes true would not surprise me

If I say something I risk upsetting my dad

If I put the lock on I hope me may take the hint

Fcking walkovers here
I wish I had the guts to say no or check things out sometimes !!!!!!

Christ, grow a spine you wet blanket!

Text him “thanks for your work so far, we’ll take it from here”.

Then lock the gate and call the police if he breaks in.

warmandtoasty2day · 16/07/2021 16:17

He sounds abit unhinged calling out ofthe blue to cut trees down Confused.

Are you 10 years old? Your dad will survive, I assure you. Stop being such a mug, fgs.

I don't think umhinged is the word for it. Cheeky bastard. Not unhingedConfused
Uramaki · 16/07/2021 16:18

Why didn't you ask him to stop when it became aparant he was chopping down trees you weren't expecting?

Yes he is

Tight as hell as he must have been shocked at the price of timber

The mess oh my god the mess I'm so bloody angry
We use this sight for cows grazing and they can't even make their way down now

My dad is ill so I always am careful to not upset him plus he used to get favours and help off my cousins father down through the years

But this is PISS TAKE

If I say something I risk upsetting my dad why would it upset your dad to tell him to stop chopping trees down now thanks.

Faranth · 16/07/2021 16:20

When you say you thought your DF had perhaps organised it - who owns the land / trees? Is it you or DF?
