Update- we put lawn ornaments down the side separating our lawn and their drive.
This morning when we went to walk the dogs the twats had moved the 2 ornaments onto our doorstep!!!
I've moved them back. Fuckers.
So glad we're moving.

Cement them across the end of his drive the night before you leave!

user1471538283 · 15/04/2022 17:22

I would cement them in.

I would make an unholy racket when I left.

When we left our awful neighbors the really noisy ones were on holiday so came back to see our empty house. Which I quite liked.

Lighthearted only!

Under cover of darkness on leaving day plant some Japanese knot wood near their boundary and make sure it’s watered well in.

ItsYabbaDabbaDoTime · 15/04/2022 17:23

#knotweed!

KosherDill · 15/04/2022 17:31

The bedbug and carpet mite ideas are brilliant.

Felicity42 · 15/04/2022 17:35

To be honest at this point just let it go, especially if you will be there with a kid doing exams. You don't need any more aggro in your life.

Bunnyfuller · 15/04/2022 17:38

Collect dog plop. Throw it on their lawn. All the time until you move. What absolute wanking twats tosspots. SO angry on your behalf!

Theunamedcat · 15/04/2022 17:44

Dog poo on your own lawn they won't be affected unless they walk on YOUR LAWN

Smell factor there is a fertiliser called 6x

Not Japanese knotwood it's illegal mile a minute aka Russian vine is legal

Can’t help thinking about the old saying..

Anyone can be a father, but it takes someone special to be a dad.

It’s so true, isn’t it.

Hiroe · 15/04/2022 17:45

Wrong thread. 😂 But still true! 🙃🤔😭

jazzandh · 15/04/2022 17:47

Dig a wide border, make sure it is full of mud and sand - keep it wet - soaking wet - so they have to walk through a deep boggy muddy patch if they want to walk across your lawn.

Vietnamese Guerilla Warfare Tiger Traps.

But without the bamboo spikes at the bottom .

Just so they are trapped.

END OF GCSE PARTY TO END ALL PARTIES.
FRONT AND BACK GARDENS ONLY, MUSIC WILL BE LOUD ENOUGH DON'T WORRY.
FINE TO WEE IN NEXT DOOR'S FRONT GARDEN.

Femalewoman · 15/04/2022 17:55

Cement them in before you move @Lochnessgiraffe to save the new owners a problem with the idiots. Also greasy messy stuff on them or perhaps dog poo lots of it.

Or, to cannibalise your saying so it fits this thread -
“Anyone can be a neighbour - it takes someone special to be a CF neighbour” 😂😂

@FabFitFifties

I would put the balloons, streamers etc, up on the day you move. Lots of loud chatter and laughing as you load the vans.Party music if you have any. Lots of honking of horns as you finally leave in your car, with tin cans rattling, and The Great Escape painted on your back window. 🥳
Maybe smash the ornaments too and spread the debris over his drive etc..
JudgeJ · 15/04/2022 18:09

@SheilaFentiman

Are there any bits on the ornaments - stone loops or whatever - that you could chain together?
Make sure that there are a lot of chipped edges on the ornaments, the sort to slash fingers.
Laiste · 15/04/2022 18:12

Cement them down.

Nice and simple.

Please

and cement one down on their doorstep in the middle of the night when you finally go

itsgettingweird · 15/04/2022 18:16

@Herejustforthisone

Cunts.

Just get some landmines.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
LakieLady · 15/04/2022 18:25

Wait till they've gone out and squirt superglue in the lock of their front door.

A friend of mine did this to her ex after he'd dumped her.

Suzi888 · 15/04/2022 18:27

@Sexnotgender

Put them through their window.

Only kidding. They sound like arseholes.

🤣

So glad you are moving, wish we could move from ours and their 50ft conifers.

oakleaffy · 15/04/2022 18:29

Write ''Arseholes'' in weedkiller on their lawn in 50 cm letters.

Penguinevere · 15/04/2022 18:37

Some people are just stupid op. Hope your new neighbours are better.

EatTheToast · 15/04/2022 18:45

Paint them with anti vandal paint.

Jux · 15/04/2022 19:00

be kind to your buyers - plant a holly hedge.
