Tell me your little wins against CF and selfish neighbours!

[happygohappy]

I live in an area which suffers badly with flytipping, people just dont care and treat it like a dump. It makes me so angry and sad and I waste so much bloody time reporting it, speaking to councillors etc. Got an update today that something I reported a few weeks ago had evidence in and they've issued a fine to the household

I'm chuffed and hope it is the first fine of many!!

So tell me your little wins, where you've caught out selfish arsehole neighbours (or just people!) and got sweet revenge

My CF neighbour dumped a pile of black bin bags onto my lawn. A business park runs at the back of our houses with a tall iron fence and a path. MY cctv showed that someone in the business park threw the rubbish over the fence onto the path opposite NDNs house.

It was bin collection day and NDN could easily have put the bin bags into his own bin for collection that day. Instead he got a garden rake and pushed them onto my lawn! This is despite notice warning of cctv.

I printed out a series of the thumbnails. As you can see from the two attached pictures (I have lots more) he moved it from opposite his house onto the grass in front of my house,

On the back of the paper I wrote:

"Fly tipping is a criminal offence and can be subject to heavy fines. You have 24 hours to remove your rubbish from my property before this matter is reported to the police."

Next morning at 6.15 am he was out there clearing it up.

Absolutely love this would love to have seen his face when he saw the screenshots, what a CF he is! Well done!!

I'm trying to think of inventive signs to put up in the flytipping spots, its so frustrating as it happens in our street car park which is obstructed from view from my house so I can't put cctv up there as much as I am desperate to, as i'd love to put up some screenshots too!

Had another little bit of revenge against NDN on wednesday last.

They use a lot of oil and grease in their cooking and my plumber tells me that this can go solid once it hits cold water if you put it down the drain. About once a year NDN has to have their drains jetted which costs a pretty penny. In the past Ive had their plumbers calling at my home without appointment wanting to come in to my home to see if the problem is "connected". Our houses are detached. I always refused as I dont allow strangers into my home without a burly male relative present. I told them they could make an appointment by writing to me on their letter head but they never did. The NDNs whinged that they would have to pay for another visit but thats their problem.

On other occasions they have called out the local water company to inspect the drains and on two occasions I have given them (the utility company) access to the inspection drain in my garden but they never found any problems. No problems with my own sinks or loos have ever emerged. So its obviously something the nDNs are doing.

They had the plumbers out on wednesday last - three men and two vans - jet washing their drains. The foreman knocked on my door but I was watching on my cctv and did not answer. I just sat there enjoying their antics and knowing it was costing my NDNs £££.

They say that revenge is a dish best served cold.

Well you can imagine how much fun I had after them dumping rubbish on my garden!

You can get small discreet cameras which run on a memory card/bettery and last about 2/3 weeks. They can be placed more or less anywhere. But obviously you would want to place it somewhere under your control in case it got stolen. Are there any trees or bushes where one could be hidden?

Im just sending for two small cameras which are much better quality pictures than the ones in these thumbnails. There are lots of options on Amazon and Ebay but you need to think of where to site them.

@memberofthewedding result 👍🏻
We’ve had similar. Both ourselves and another neighbour have cctv. During lockdown my neighbour witnessed these people dumping huge rocks over their fence. It’s a private road and we look after it, so obvious. We also found stuff fly tipped in our bin area. You guessed it, same fuckers. Sent dh and other neighbour round to collect their shit.
Also, during lockdown the police heard of a burglary. A fence panel was down, this burglar hid a bag of stuff there. My cctv caught him doing it. He was sentenced to 2 and a half years.
When we lived in Oz, I saw a guy dump his takeaway bag out his window, I sent the council his details. They rang me as the wife rang up. What a coward. Anyway, he got fined something like $200.
I think I need to get a life

Blasting my pan pipes for lovers cd after a particularly noisy party. It annoyed the hell out of me but was worth it.

Cheeky neighbour pinched my bin after bin day Saturday. I popped out to collect mine. I'm on crutches so I was a bit slow getting out.

The only bin left was the one with the split down the side. Cheeky neighbour has form for pinching bins so I popped round to his house.

He was power washing the outside of my bin and has removed the numbers on the sides and outside of the lid. However what he didn't know was that my house number was on the inside of the lid, on the bottom of the bin on the inside and on the bottom of the bin on the outside.

I know have a lovely clean bin.

Our old neighbours were absolute twats.

They decided to build a garage in their parking space. We let them almost finish it and then informed them they'd built it over our land as well (with proof via deeds).

The grey is their parking space and our space next to it. The brown outline in the garage they built.

It had to come back down. Oh dear.

Our old house was on the main road through our village. It was a terrace cottage with a small front garden (think 4 foot) then a waist high brick wall.

I was fortunately upstairs in the front bedroom in the middle of a sunny Saturday afternoon with the window open.

Happened to look out and saw a man with his wife and 2 kids walking past eating chicken wings which was random in itself as we don’t have any chicken shops.

CF dad finished one wing and put the bone on my wall! I called out the open window in a very British manner.. ‘excuse me, you appear to have left your chicken bone on my wall.’ He very sheepishly picked it up and apologised, his wife scowled at him and said ‘told you!’

@MiddleParking not for objecting, but for waiting until it was mostly finished. Obviously we don't know the whole story...

I’d say that’s the least they deserved!

4 a.m. partygoers with loud music = my petrol mower out at 0800.
Only had to do it the once 😂

After we'd been here 15 years NDN voluntarily registered their house plot with Land Registry and included part of our garden. I only found out after a casual conversation with neighbour on the other side ! The we got long legal type letters from NDN telling us to move our fence off of "his" property within 30 days.
I wrote to Land Registry with photographs etc - Land Registry found in our favour and changed the Title. NDN doesn't speak to us now !

This lovely neighbourhood cat visits me several times a week and meows for me to open the door and play with him. From time to time he brings a mangled bird and leaves it outside as an offering (as cats do). One time I found a dead rat there and somehow it ended up to the top of the NDNs recycling bin for cardboard and paper. The bin men refused to take it and left one of those notes saying her bin had the "wrong things" in it. Its amazing where rats get to.

Not my revenge but someone elses.

There's a car which selfishly parks blocking the pavement on our walk to school. Despite many neighbours asking for him to park on the road he continues to ignore.

Now there are scratch marks all down the side which you have to squeeze by. So clearly someone decided to stay on the pavement rather than stepping out into the road. I'm not condoning it but it's clearly the result of the selfish parking.

My street has on street parking, cars nose to tail. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

A charming man three doors away shouted at me out of his car last weekend that my car being parked on the street was causing damage. He wanted me to knock down my front garden and get the kerb dropped. I challenged him and he had no explanation for why my car was worse than anyone else's.

I still moved it a bit down the street.

A huge scaffolder's lorry has now parked there 🤣 funnily enough, I don't think he'll be shouting at the three burly men driving it!

Spiteful and pathetic 🤣.

To be fair, we could see the outline was over our parking space and we thought "they can't seriously be planning to build there", because who builds on land that doesn't belong to them and didn't say anything. Then my husband tried to tell him when they put the concrete base in, but he just denied it was our land (the parking space was unused and overgrown) so we left it a while longer. Then when it was almost finished, we proved it was our land.

Maybe we could have got the deeds out sooner, but he was a dickhead.

I had a really loud next door neighbour who was fond of all-night parties and managed to find someone to do a house exchange with who was even louder, had constantly shrieking children and a barky dog. It made me very happy.

That sounds a bit drip-feedy/twisted but it was 7 years ago so I couldn't quite remember the story and parts came back to me the more I thought about it.

My CF neighbour dumped a pile of black bin bags onto my lawn. A business park runs at the back of our houses with a tall iron fence and a path. MY cctv showed that someone in the business park threw the rubbish over the fence onto the path opposite NDNs house.

It was bin collection day and NDN could easily have put the bin bags into his own bin for collection that day. Instead he got a garden rake and pushed them onto my lawn! This is despite notice warning of cctv.

I printed out a series of the thumbnails. As you can see from the two attached pictures (I have lots more) he moved it from opposite his house onto the grass in front of my house,

Maybe he thought you fly tipped the bin bags in his garden?

What has the NDN done to make him a CF, @memberofthewedding? I'm sure there is a backstory but, without it, it sounds like you are the nightmare neighbour dumping dead rats in their recycling and refusing access to their plumbers.
