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?

That you can tell. You don’t know. Nice to describe him as strange though Hmm

@RainbowBriteUk

They're not on property. They're on council property in a back alley.
So like someone parking outside your house? Not on your property? You can't see the bin You can't smell the bin Don't give it headspace.

Ah just seen it doesn’t affect you at all, but it’s the principle.

It might be worth getting a hobby

We all do strange things that seem ok to us and abnormal to others. I don't understand why people can't just accept others are not like them, they don't share their values or opinions. Everything can't be put into a box or labelled, sometimes people can have physical health issues their GP failed to diagnose, all the stress of the past two yara may have given people adrenal fatigue incilding OP who may be at the end of her patience with others.

The neighbour is odd, some think OP is odd and soem will think responses on the thread are odd.

We aren't all cardboard cut out , the same as each other - humans.

Did he definitely do it? Could he have had a friend/relative help him out by bringing his bins in and they’ve just put them alongside yours?

Well then he can put them where he likes. As can you. This is like the "selfish bastard parked outside my house instead of his house in a public road, will the Council tell him to stop doing this?" threads. Pointless.

Diagram? Grin

LukeEvansWife · 12/09/2021 13:52

*Diagram? Grin

She would provide one but she can’t see the bins Grin

WallaceinAnderland · 12/09/2021 14:04

Are you sure he's the odd one Grin

When I first moved into a rented house an entitled NDN used to put her bins outside my gate. Three times I moved them and they were there again next week. One week it was christmas and there were all kinds of black bags piled up outside my gate along with the bin. My nephew and I moved them back in front of hers and then knocked on her door and instructed her not to do it again. I told her "if one of those bags happens to split then all the bits will be over your garden and driveway next day. One bin is enough for any house."

She didnt do it again.

RainbowBriteUk · 12/09/2021 14:46

See diagram. His bins are in blue and mine in orange.

How is this thread pointless? He has plenty of room outside his fence to put his bins but chooses to put them outside my wall.

Are you okay? This seems to be a strong reaction for something very small.
Just move them back if it's bothering you to this extent, then carry on with your day.

RainbowBriteUk · 12/09/2021 14:49

He is strange and smokes weed all day despite there being young children in the house. He also uses foul language in front of them. Not a nice person at all.

It would piss me off too to be honest....

I wish I didn't 'sweat the small stuff' but I absolutely do.

RainbowBriteUk · 12/09/2021 14:50

Once he threw something from the upstairs window and asked if it had landed in my garden and got mad when I said it hadn't. That's not normal is it?

OP posts:
Bluntness100 · 12/09/2021 14:50

Ok so his bins are not on your property, you cannot see them or smell them, but the mere thought of them being close to your property is upsetting you?

LemonFantaGin · 12/09/2021 14:51

Go out all bins on his side 🤷🏽‍♀️

RainbowBriteUk · 12/09/2021 14:51

@niki26 Thanks! It's just the principal like he doesn't want them outside his gate but they're ok outside mine?!

OP posts:
Geamhradh · 12/09/2021 14:51

But he's just put them together with yours in the public alley. The refuse collectors will have less far to walk.

OP, move them back on to his property every single time.

Don’t seethe in silence, you need to nip it in the bud now!

WallaceinAnderland · 12/09/2021 14:52

What exactly is it about the bins being a little further along the alleyway that bothers you OP? You know you don't own any of that space and say yourself that it's communal.

What is the problem other than the fact that you just don't like him.

RainbowBriteUk · 12/09/2021 14:53

@GreyhoundG1rl It happened. Why would I make it up?

She can't move them "onto his property" without entering onto his private land. Which is not where the bins are!
