Piss taking neighbour

Moved to a nice (ish) area a few months ago, knew when I saw the new neighbour that he was a prick. Unreal how entitled the people down this street are tbh. My family and I are not stuck up yet we’re not the pits or in the nightmare neighbour bracket but it’s clear the neighbours look down on us as we do not follow the typical religion and culture that most of the street share.
So this twat hardly even says hello yet he stood at our garden fence watching as we were going to trim our hedges with our new hedge trimmer the other day and asked my partner if he would come and trim the hedge in his garden as it is our hedge that has grown over to his side. (I didn’t realise my partner hadn’t offered to do it himself and that this neighbour actually thinks it is our responsibility to do so and expects us to sort it as if it is our responsibility).
Fast forward to yesterday, a delivery guy attempts to deliver a package to this neighbour, rings his ring doorbell, I was in my garden at this point and heard loud and clear the neighbour say through the speaker that he was not home and to not leave the parcel with me but to take it to the other neighbours!
So he expects my partner to go and do his gardening yet we’re not good enough to take his parcel in? I could hear the disgust in his voice at the idea of the delivery man leaving his parcel with us.
He also stores his massive ladders in our garage because they won’t fit in his. Honestly I felt like launching his ladders over the fence for him to store where the sun doesn’t shine.
I could understand if we were scum bags and caused nuisance but we’re in bed by a reasonable time and do not make excessive noise or other anti social issues.
I realise I shouldn’t give it a second thought yet after hearing his tone about us to the driver I feel enraged at his cheek.

I’ve endured an obnoxious prick like this for years but thankfully he moved recently yay 🥳 definitely nip it in the bud! Personally if I had his ladders in my garage they would no longer be his.. Possession I believe they are now yours! But I can understand you not wanting to rock the proverbial boat so to speak but get them out of your garage & tell him they are a hazard & in the way of space you need for your belongings! If he gets antsy tell him to F off & go ask one of the other neighbours to store them for him it’s not your problem! He’s clearly a Victor Meldrew & proper curtain twitcher & has drawn his own conclusions on you without giving you all a chance so fuck him I say.. just crack on with your lives & leave him, his ladders & his hedge to it. Take away his control he has no right to have it over you! Good luck & don’t feel bad you’ve done nothing wrong!

I’m all for a good neighbour dispute thread but I couldn’t get worked up about this.

I’d rather not get other people’s parcels, it’s just an inconvenience anyway. Not really fussed what the reason was. Long as he’s not being rude or causing you a nuisance then I’d really not be arsed.

I’m on the fence with the hedge - yes he can do it himself but if it were my hedge I’d feel some neighbourly obligation to lend a hand with it, again, so long as all interactions are civil and polite.

He can have his ladders back though. Like, now. Lol

Sensing someone's entitled isn't judgemental it's just observation
Have you never ever sensed someone's entitled yourself!, I think everyone at some time in their lives has had the misfortune of meeting someone entitled
I'm sure she doesn't need to nor have time to explain every single reason why she's sensed entitlement

She saw this man, who is apparently of a different culture and religion, and decided he was a prick

That's judgemental

Fingernailbiter · 20/06/2025 12:36

I really can’t see why you’re convinced they look down on you. Nothing you’ve said indicates that to me.

Perhaps he just didn’t want to bother you with the delivery because you already do him favours? Yes the hedge thing was cfery, but perhaps they don’t have a hedge trimmer. Could you be imagining the whole problem?

Caroparo52 · 20/06/2025 12:40

Put the ladders on Ebay.... it's only what he expects of you🤣🤣

It's called being a judgy bitch

And also prejudices you make judgements like "they are a prick" based on the fact they are different to you

HevenlyMeS · 20/06/2025 15:15

You're the only one judging here
Listen to yourself swearing & being prejudice discriminatory towards this original commenter
You're calling her a b
How judgemental are you?
Shocked at your unkind name calling
The o commenter has purely possessed some intelligent discernment yet you stooped to name calling! Completely unnecessary & uncalled for
You were not there, why don't you consider giving her the benefit of the doubt, when she's purely shown some discernment & trusted her instincts
Why feel the need to be so unkind!?

I still don't get this thread..Is he some .posh bloke or something looking down his nose at you coz you're ordinary?.Did you move into a road with big houses or something . I still don't get it.

It seems she feels judged & discriminated against for not following their religion, so it's the other way round

I agree. If she was indeed racist or prejudiced against people who belong to the majority religious and cultural background of this neighbourhood, she wouldn’t move there would she

Are you OP?

Your post style is odd anyway

But considering she made possibly prejudiced decisions about her neighbours, she already doesn't like them and it's entirely probable she was hearing more into it than was actually meant.

It's why OP needs to bother coming back and clarifying

HevenlyMeS · 20/06/2025 16:39

It's ridiculous you're labelling others style of writing odd just because you disagree with them
Just because someone sticks up for someone with some seemingly sincere discernment does not equate odd style so of writing! It equates some open mindedness
You should try it, you never know you might even feel more at peace within yourself 🙏
