My Disgusting Neighbour

272 replies

BaldingMum · 17/05/2024 19:32

Terrace house with a shared passageway between mine and my neighbours houses which lead to a gate into my garden (neighbour has never put a gate up for theirs meaning their garden is fully visible to anyone walking down the passageway).

Neighbour has always hoarded in the garden, and it’s an absolute shit hole full of rotting rubbish. This has led to rats over the years which are primarily resident in his garden, although I have seen the odd one venture onto my garden leading me to put bait traps down.

Just about manageable, not ideal. However my neighbour, who has a colonoscopy bag, has started the disgusting habit of emptying his bladder on the back door step. The smell is indescribable. The flies are relentless.

My six year old child has to walk by this to get access to his garden and house (both of which are well kept and tidy).

the stickler is, my house is down hill to his, so inevitably when it rains, guess where all his body waste gets washed to.

He is completely blasé about it, doesn’t see a problem, his property etc etc. I’ve raised an environmental hazard complaint with the local council to see if they can do anything.

It stinks. It’s ruining the enjoyment of our garden. The flies are getting into our house. The rats are increasing.

WIBU to pour bleach where it’s evidentially doing this disgusting act? What the hell can I do to get this stopped?

The fuss is that he could be emptying it into a toilet instead of his backyard where it flows into OP's backyard.

Come on now, it wasn't that hard to understand

It's deliberate to deter OPs filthy cats crapping on his property! Ask her about that!

Maybe he's marking his territory to keep OPs filthy cats off his property? Did you know she lets them crap on other people's gardens but doesn't want it on her own garden? Male urine deters the cats.

@Engagebrain
Why on earth are you going on about the OP's cats for? I have read and re-read all the OP's posts and not once did she mention having cats. I also did an advance search, which I don't usually do in case you had read something on another thread that would explain your odd stance. Nothing! Please explain why you think this man is entitled to empty his urine in such a way that it runs onto the OP's property in order to keep the OP's hypothetical cats away from his house? What do you know that no-one else on this thread seems to?

Well this is taking a turn... however cats crapping is a completely different issue to allowing urine to flow into the property of someone else, especially when there is a child there! That is absolutely vile, disgusting behaviour, I don't give a shit what the cats do or if there even are any.

Why would I trust you? I don't know you. I also don't trust people who try and stir things and just say "trust me!" And even if the OP did have cats, there is still no excuse for a grown man to be emptying urine that he knows flows onto someone else's property.

OPs cats are pooping 💩💩💩 on his garden and that stinks! The scent of the urine deters them. Notice how OP is not denying this?..

Crikeyalmighty · 28/05/2024 15:14

I lived next door to a house like this and very quickly moved!! It's totally depressing OP I sympathise hugely .

You obviously know nothing of the dangers associated with cat poo? Toxoplasmosis can blind a person and is far more dangerous that human urine.

I'm not really sure why I'm replying to you as clearly you are clueless but hey, I'm bored. I'm thinking that the rotting dead rats he chucked back in there after shooting them and his own urine are what stinks. Also, what's the point in emptying his urine on his doorstep which then runs to the OP's property if the cats are pooping in his GARDEN? Surely by your logic he should be emptying his bag onto his own garden and on to his own fence to keep the cats out?

If there even ARE any cats which still really ISN'T the point.🤔

Why are you believing OP? She has 3 cats that are making his life a misery! Maybe he is getting revenge by letting the urine flow into her property if it actually is? And still no denial from OP about the cat poo situation which she refuses to deal with!

All very intriguing if true. Come on op, do your cats crap in wee man's garden?

OrlandointheWilderness · 28/05/2024 17:16

@Engagebrain actually I do, but I must admit I was basing my judgement that a man who empties piss all over the floor and chucks dead rats on his garden to rot is unlikely to be a keen gardener and at risk of touching cat shite...

Well I was hoping to avoid this but here goes;
Cats shit on the neighbours garden because they don't like it on their own garden, rats eat cat shit and return to the garden where the cats are shitting over and over because there is a food source. If OP kept her cats inside there would be no need for neighbour to try and mark his territory. Can you imagine having to shoot rats because your garden is covered in cat excrement? And still no comment from OP?

OrlandointheWilderness · 28/05/2024 17:51

How exactly do you know the OP even has cats!?!

Tbf the op hasn't posted on here since the 19th so could be busy or on holiday she clearly has stopped engaging.

So you know the op or are you just guessing about cat crap? It would be an interesting twist..

TonTonMacoute · 28/05/2024 18:05

If environmental health still haven't responded go to your local councillor and tell them. They are supposed to represent your concerns, get them moving on this!

I don't know OP but I do recognise this person posting from the descriptions and I know there is cat poo involved which is very unpleasant for the person having to deal with the rats. That's all I can say I'm afraid. There's always two sides.
