New neighbour just stuck her head in my window

New neighbours moved in during the week. Last lot were a quiet friendly bunch, but these new ones have been nothing but trouble. On the first night they broke into my garden, ruined my little veg patch and pulled down a sunshade and pooed on my decking. I went and sorted them out and thought that was the end of it but just as I was settling down with a cuppa to watch TV one of them stuck her head in the window and screeched at me.
AIBU to ask the farmer to move the goats to another field and bring back the cows?

Feeling really rough so was having a Lemsip - just snorted and splattered my phone in honey and ginger. Thanks for the best giggle all day.

TheWeeDonkeyFella · 09/10/2021 21:43

Did you actually see them break into your garden OP or are you just making them scapegoats?

EllaBob · 09/10/2021 21:43

Quit bleating on about it.

TatoAndBeans · 09/10/2021 21:45

Sounds like my actual human neighbours…. Recently retired, nosy, keeps literally sticking her head over the fence to crane over for a better view into my lounge Confused

IrishMel · 09/10/2021 21:52

I agree with other poster about their eyes. Always gives me the creeps like the devils eyes.. But baby goats and lambs so cute..

BiLuminous · 09/10/2021 22:04

ragged · 09/10/2021 22:13

The replies are just getting cheesier and cheesier.

Somanysocks · 09/10/2021 22:20

Photos or it never happened

Yorkshirepuddingforever · 09/10/2021 22:23

They sound a bit gruff!

BluebellsGreenbells · 09/10/2021 22:23

This has to be a goaty thread?

toomuchlaundry · 09/10/2021 22:23

Trip trap

MintJulia · 09/10/2021 22:28

Our vicar used to have a goat to keep the weeds in the churchyard down. Maybe you could persuade the farmer to lend them to the local CofE.

Don't hang any washing out. Goats eat literally anything, including underwear.

@dunkaccino

But does she shit on your decking?
No, she passive-aggressively asks me if I want the details of her window cleaner, then tells me she heard my 4 year old having a tantrum this morning (“I don’t mind”) and asks “so are you going to get her assessed?” (for the autism she’s google-diagnosed her with) Hmm.

Even without shitting on my patio; the over-the-fence, unsolicited parenting advice makes it a thoroughly unpleasant place to be.

Frankly, I’d rather live next to livestock than Hyacinth Bucket the Second.

DroopyClematis · 09/10/2021 22:38

Just build a bridge to the greener grass on the other side! Job done.

NatriumChloride · 09/10/2021 22:43

Ewe have goat to be kidding! What CFs. Ps: diagram please

Pythonista · 09/10/2021 22:47

I think this is a load of bull Grin

You are lucky that your old neighbours didn’t drop by.

We found a dozen or so cows in the garden, they shat everywhere, eat a load of plants, left hoof marks on the grass then knocked over a dry stone wall.

At least sheep shit isn’t so bad and they leave the walls alone 😄
