Neighbour stopped putting my bin out ...aibu?

[itsabunchofhocuspocus]

Okay first world problems I know...
Lived in property for 5 years.
It's a terraced house.
Both mine and neighbours bin are next to each other.
We had no chat about it but every fortnight he would put my bin out then on a night i would bring both of our bins in.

A month ago he started just putting his bin out.
I still continued to bring his bin in for him.
Today is bin day and once again he just took his bin out and left mine.

Aibu to keep bringing his bin in?
Should I leave it?
I don't want to be petty and it's no skin off my nose as it takes 2 seconds

What would you do?

Leave his bin he doesn't want you touching it

Personally I would stop bringing his bin in!

Just leave it.

Leave it. He can bring his own bin in then.

I just didn't want to seem petty by leaving his and bringing mine in.

Take your own bin in and move his a tiny bit further out each week until one day it’s in Manchester?

@ShirleyPhallus we actually live in Manchester 😂😂😂

Skegness, in that case

Put your bin out yourself, leave his to bring it in himself. There’s no need to talk to him about it.

Perfect

I'm not loosing any sleep over it ...just unsure why he's stopped after 5 years

Maybe there's some medical reason he can't do it right now? A full bin can be heavy and quite difficult to wheel. In the absence of any other negative vibes I'd keep taking his bin in for the present and see what transpires.

Keep bringing his bin in. He'll have a reason for having stopped taking yours out. Maybe one week it was too heavy or had maggots.

Greenock would be better

Just do your own bin and bring only your bin in.

Where we live our neighbours are old and awful. One particular neighbour will bring everyone's in and leave ours out. Which is fine because I don't have a problem with it but I laugh at the pettiness!

Be petty. He’s being petty first.

To be fair putting out 2 heavy bins is much worse than collecting 2 empty bins. I'd just do your own and not give it any space.

Have you ever thought it might be your turn to take out the smelly, heavy, full bins and he brings in the light empty ones? It's been 5 years, you've been taking the piss!

He would put them out night before

Perhaps the neighbour is doing the 'old and awful' people's bins because they know the old people can't manage it. I am old(and probably awful) I look as if I am strong, but have problems with heavy bins.

Beat him to it and put them both out? Maybe he's hurt his back?

I'd speak to him and ask if he wants to swap for the next five years, you put them out and he brings them in.

Is he actually still putting his bin out himself, or is someone else doing it for him (e.g another neighbour or different member of his household)? It's possible he's unable to do it for whatever reason (health/working away/gone on holiday/extra busy), and he just didn't think to tell whoever has taken over that he has this informal arrangement with you.

Personally, since its no skin off your nose to drag his light, empty bin with you whilst you're bring yours in, I'd just keep bringing his one in. Because is a nice thing to do. And I'd probably not give it another thought, apart from remembering to take my own bin out.

I'm old and bloody gorgeous..........and I do my own bin!😉

I would start putting both bins out, because I can be very petty and awkward.

Ask him why. Don't make a mountain out of a mole hill.
