To ask what the drama is in your local Facebook group?

[ItsTheDramaaMick]

Ours is a on fire at the moment. Usually it's just dog poo and why is the helicopter out, and tourists parking in the pub car park to go for a walk and getting a ticket..

However in the last week or so it has popped off and I'm living for the drama 🤣 it's not even the local community groups,

It's beef between 2 niche (very niche) hobby pages where one is saying x will happen and the other is saying y will happen, then page 1 started posting passive aggressive comments on the page of page 2 and frankly it's incredible.

Any one else got something fun going on, on their Facebook groups?

Just constant photos of parcels on porches captioned

"THIS IS NOT MY PORCH, WHERE IS THIS PORCH WHERE IS MY PARCEL"

The helicopter offence takers always surprise me... "Anyone else hear the helicopters/sirens circling?" ... "How dare you speculate, just let the emergency services do their job, that's someone's loved one".

Like they are obstructing the emergency services by asking if anyone else heard it.

Thankyou to normal person who did a normal thing. Shows there's still good/kind people in the world.

Blah blah blah.

I’m just outside the village. For the past six weeks on random days the gas men shut the road at one end and then BT shut it at the other end. No one could get in and no one could get out. Fortunately I didn’t need to get in but everyone was ranting about getting out or getting in.

Ours has the local loon squawking about how she can't park her car in 'her' street and how she's 'gonna batter who's car it is'

Complete with grainy ring doorbell footage

It's us-we live next door

She's fully aware it's our car

She is full of hot air as she runs away from us if she sees us-she just rants on sm

She wants us to 'park ten streets away' as she doesn't want us parking on 'her' Street

We ignore her-and judging by the zero comments,our other neighbours do too

Ours is the usual "whoever stole my bin please let yourself be known before I give the camera footage to the police and/or make it public"....usually followed by a million comments of name and shame then hun, omg hun, that's shocking, what is this village coming to.
"Has anyone had their bins emptied today, I thought it was green bin day", that's a popular one.
The usual dog poop ones
The usual request for roofers, fence repairs, electicians
A million people asking why their posts were decljned, after being told a million times of they post or repost something without any text their post will be automatically declined.

At No.1 we have a big weekly moan about road closures, for some reason this is always guaranteed to get people to kick off!

I haven't been on mine for a while but the gist-
Kids are playing in the park with water (in the summer) it'll cause a car accident. My car will get scratched.
People are allowing their children to play in trolleys.
The police are going to be called. Someone is putting their own garden toys in the park... someone will be dangerously hurt, what if there's a tornado?
I've got ring footage of someone taking a cutting from one of my flowers! Thief!
People are parking their second cars in the V bays. This is terrible- and so much drama ensues. Most are too thick to realise the problem is more that hospital staff and visitors are parking in the V bays to go to the nearby hospital.

It was funny, but after years, it got wearing.

Time to leave her a YouTube link…

It’s me, hi, I’m the problem, it’s me

Oh it’s padlocked grit bins that no one was allowed the code to unless you were one of the “special” people!!

Dog poo - with someone naming and shaming a dog owner who won’t pick up their dog poo. Apparently there is ring doorbell footage of the offender. There is now a growing cohort calling for the footage to be uploaded- I have my suspicions about who it is. Yes Margaret you have been caught! 😂

Wheelie bins... have they been emptied. Will they be emptied and then one woman posts every week when the wagon is in the village 😂 "bin wagon on John Doe street"

Fly tipping.

Also, service providers of various kinds advertising their services.

We are knee deep in cats (usually ones that someone thinks is lost because they saw it in their garden three days running, when Tibbles (who lives next door) is just out for a walk), lost bins that blew away in the storms, misplaced or found parcels (“WHOSE DOORSTEP IS THIS?”) and lots of pictures of local junkies stealing packages from doorsteps or trying everyone’s car door handles again.

Still my favourite was the person who whinged about a local farmer putting up electric fencing. A cry of “Won’t someone think of the kiddies?” went up, to be met with a barrage of “Keep them away from the bloody fences then” And it went downhill sharply from there.

Flooding.

We last had a flood in 1948. But everyone is in a panic becuase there is some terrible rain storm about 200 miles away...

Nothing happening. Is there an electrician on the estate? Does anyone want to buy a lamp? Books free. Is this anyone's dog? Owner found.

It was very icy on Sunday night and our streets are quite hilly - a light coloured / white Audi has smashed into a parked car and driven away without leaving a note or anything... but they haven't accounted for a witness to the crime and ring doorbell camera footage! They've also had people offering to drive them about to look for the culprits, which I'm sure won't end well!!

Some pranksters have taken to winding up missing cat owners, calling up the number on the missing poster and miaowing. Last time they pretended to be Pet Detectives and strung the woman along for ages and eventually said they were holding the cat hostage and that it preferred them.

Everyone goes wild, calling them sickos and saying the police should investigate 🙊

Complaints that they weren't told garden waste collections were back up and running as from today. So they were missed and their dead Xmas trees will be lying around for another two weeks.

The collection dates are as clear as day on the council website.

Big drama on our local fb page before Christmas. Two drunken women caught on CCTV stealing a knitted postbox topper and running off with it. Clearly identifiable form the CCTV. Appeals out for it to be returned, it never was and now local police involved and still hunting the missing topper.

Potential snow worries and worries that will cause floods.
Reminders it's black bin day tomorrow and we can add a bin liner of our bin is full.
Dog poo.
Someone wants bubble wrap.

50p Chris has stolen another 'ladies shopper' bike to beg around town with, someone found a hand grenade in the cellar of their new house, half the roads in town are dug up and somebody photographed a croc in the local pond. Fortunately it was a short and they have a sense of humour.

I didn't bat an eyelid until you made me think of it.

Oh yes, we have a lot of that bigoted shite from the good old born and bred locals who really hate anyone who doesn’t stay in the town or village where they were born FOREVER.
Plus lost cats, escaping pigs, sheep and cows, floods, XL Bully shit, blah blah blah.

You don’t live in Lambeth by any chance do you? 🤣 because all I see on my local fb are the exact same letters!

LTNs/cyclists/fixed penalty notices

fireworks traumatising my dog

new high rise blocks are the ugliest and most overpriced buildings of all time

someone please tag the local MP so she can fix all of these problems which are absolutely not her job

I used to live in [very culturally diverse local area] but moved to [very white suburb] 30 years ago and I stay in the group only to be racist and tell you all how much better the place used to be

Palestine

mainly the floods at the moment that and traffic delays

Oh and also there's been a spate of anonymous posters basically begging with a story about having umpteen kids, the dad just died, mum hasn't eaten in days. Cue 50 bleeding hearts trying to 'out kind' each other offering money, food, vouchers, shirt off their back, 'PM me huns' only to find that the exact same post has been copied and pasted to every group in a 100 mile radius.

So at the moment everyone's devastated that they almost gave a conartist a tin of beans and Anonymous posting is banned.
