To think this level of pettiness is embarrassing?

[alwwyd]

My next door neighbours are just very inconsiderate people. They need their own thread.

Our houses are attached but we have separated driveways with a clear line of gravel between them and a partial hedge.

We both keep our bins on the driveway and today I’ve gone out to put my bin back and they’ve shoved my (different) bin and placed their bin on my driveway. I moved it back and it’s heavy so it didn’t blow across.

I know this is a none thread, but it does annoy me how petty some people are. Like just why do it? 🙄 anyone have other petty neighbour stories?

(yes I’ve been sad enough to go a diagram)

Oh dear OP I think that without a backstory you seem to come across as the petty one. Saying that, I've lived next to some awful neighbours and even the slightest thing can push you over the edge so you have my sympathy!

Petty implies they did it on purpose to get at you, do you think they did? I imagine it's more just a combination of ignorance and lack of consideration than being actively petty. If I wanted to be petty I'd put the bin across your drive so you had to get out and move it to park.

I wouldn't have moved it back on to their side, I would have shoved it onto the pavement/gutter 😈

But according to your diagram they have plenty of room their side so why would they put it your side? What's the background here.

I don't understand.
Why would they move the bins around?
What would be the point?

What is a none thread?

How is OP petty, the neighbour has moved OP's bin to put their bin on OP's drive. How does that make OP petty?

A thread where nothing has happened 😂

A non-thread. A thread about nothing.

A non event. 🤷‍♀️

Yeah that’s my point .. it’s just odd behaviour.

My diagram is a bit pointless as the cars are facing our houses but from the drawing you’d assume the bins were at the bottom of the drive.

The driveways are quite small and it’s like they’ve moved it to give themselves more space.

That is odd. Your hedge looks like Casper the Friendly Ghost. I like it. 😊🤣

Totally agree with you. There are clearly defined sides. That would piss me off. So unless your neighbour is blind its pretty obvious what goes where. But keep calm dont loose your rag over it. Just put it back

For the record...

The prefix "non-" means "not" or "the opposite of."

The word "none" means "not any".

It's on Mumsnet that I first saw this confusion and I guess it comes from people who pronounce these two words the same.

ah
I was trying hard to figure out what it was, it is a hedge

I like your diagram OP

Maybe talk to them and see what they say?

Do you actually think it’s intentional to annoy you, or just that they are careless where you are more exact?

Maybe they needed to move it for access and forgot to move it back?

I would do nothing unless they persist with putting their bin on your property; could have been a one-off for a particular reason.

That was a hedge? I thought it was OP inspecting the bins while looking like an alien 😂

and also farting...

See I think the bush looks like the Gringe posing for a photo 🤣🤣

for the record… no one actually cares.

do you feel like a smarty pants now?

OP there must be a back story because it does seem rather petty but I can relate, I use to have nightmare neighbours!

Can you print out a copy of the diagram, and post it through their door with ‘JUST FOR THE RECORD THERE IS NONE NEED FOR THIS’ written on it?

I cut back all the brambles that are creeping into my garden from the neighbours side and placed the cuttings neatly on her side next to the fence. She then went out and pulled the heads off all the dandelions in her grass and checked them into the middle of my garden 🤨 Incredibly petty but it did make me laugh.

Maybe they just wheeled the bin back and it landed slightly on your side. I doubt they did it intentionally to piss you off. Neighbours can do far worse things to each other. Pick your battles.

Your diagram is excellent so you should be applauded for that, especially as you did it immediately and didn’t need anyone to remind you 😂😂

I can’t really understand your ‘different’ bin? 🤔
So you each have 3 bins stored in your drive and neighbour has moved yours so you now have 4 bins stored and she has 2? If that’s correct then tell her to fuck off. That’s weird, a piss take and bloody annoying.

You're right. It is.

And I don't mean your neighbours.
