Dickhead neighbour

[RainbowBriteUk]

I have a next door neighbour who is odd. He shouts a lot and just is strange. No learning difficulties that I can tell.

We have our wheelie bins all lined up outside our walls on the back alleyway. He has just moved his bins (all three of them) outside my wall. I can't see them from my house because of the wall but AIBU to be pissed off?

YABU to be bothered by something you can’t see, yes.

Most people are odd to other people in various ways.

It's pissed me off when he has ample space outside his own property for his own stinking bins!

YABU. You can't see them so what's the problem? Sounds like your the issue not him.

Move them back?
If you can't see them why is it a problem?

It's just the cheek. The alleyway is a public space but why outside my wall when there is space outside his?

Do they really stink?

Can you smell them?

@SpindleWhorl not yet but on a hot day probably.

why

Power and control or selfishness he wants you to have bad smells not him?

No learning difficulties that I can tell.

You know you can't always tell, right?

Just move them back if the not-visible bins annoy you.

Why is this an issue? Why is it cheeky? Stop making a drama out of nothing.

YADNBU. He's being a CF. Move them back.

Just put them back into his area. Maybe he thinks it looks tidier or will make it easier for the refuse collectors if they are all lined up.

Are his bins on your property?

Put your bins where his should be then or I don't know, speak to him and ask him why he's moved them?

I've noticed that many people get very territorial about bin placement.

I once had a near neighbour who did the whole 'crying and shaking' thing down the phone to the council because someone put their bin out on collection day on the pavement next to her forecourt wall.

She actually worked for the council as well.

He might be prepping to do a bit of weeding or something. Just speak to him

They're not on property. They're on council property in a back alley.

Does it make it easier to access the back if the bins are all on the same side? We had this at our house. It was much easier to access the back of the house with a bike or something if the bins were all against one wall. If it really bothers you put them all against his wall next time maybe. Or just talk to him.

If you don't like where they are then move them.

I never realised this was a thing to get all ragey about. Due to the position of our yard/alleyway I've got about 5 neighbours bins next to our wall. I'm getting about 10 years worh of pent-up rage now just thinking about the injustice of it all.

They're not on property. They're on council property in a back alley.

So no issue then.

@RainbowBriteUk

They're not on property. They're on council property in a back alley.

So what's the issue then? you can't smell them. You can't see them. And there not your property.

Is your life really this dull you have to make a drama out of a couple of bins?

Are they blocking your access or causing any issues?

It;s just the principle of it when he has a good seven foot to have the bins outside his fence. He's lined them up right next to mine outside my property. Why the fuck would he do that?
