We have one of the most ignorant and selfish families living next door to us. The sort that think they own the street - seem harmful enough on the surface but are pain in the arse for everyone else.
They're extremely loud, park across our drive or encourage visiting friends and family to; dump their paddling pool water in our garden, go in and out of our garden willy nilly to fetch kids toys that have been booted over.. you get the drift.
The latest arguments have been around a brick wall which we had built at the front of our house. My dad is a builder who did this for us; we only had to pay for the materials. One of them has drove a car into it causing the copings on top of the wall to lift and some of them have tyre marks on which we can't get off so will need replacing. They've refused to pay to re-bed them down; insinuating it should be free because my Dad is a builder. Completely ignorant to the fact he does have to work and therefore, would lose money doing this for us... for the 2nd time! He has already had to do it once before.
Today, I had an argument with one of them about jet washing our windows. They had been jet washing their drive all morning and clearly a load of muck had been sprayed at our windows so they thought they could quickly blast it off. I politely asked them to leave our stuff alone and was sniggered out with them saying "I don't think a bit of water is going to do any damage."
I got a bit arsy and that point and just told him to leave it the fuck alone.
AIBU? Am I being off the top or would you have done the same?
