AIBU, Is my neighbour a CF?

Earlier this week my NDN knocked on our door to advise he was having some landscaping work done, and the workers would be spraying the garden with weedkiller. We have a cat that sometimes goes in the garden so he was letting us know so we could keep cat indoors.

I came home from work today to find a portaloo with the landscapers name on, on my land right up against my house. We are detached and have a strip of lawn between our houses then I have some paving (basically a path that goes nowhere) and a fence with no gate, as our access is at other side. The portaloo is sited on my side, and gives easy access to their gate so the workers can get in and out.

I'm rather bemused, if I was going to contract a company who were bringing their own loo:
A) I would find somewhere on my own plot to put it
B) if a) was not possible I would approach my neighbours and ask them very nicely if I could put a loo on their land

AIBU to expect that people don't put toilets on other people's land? Are my neighbours CF?

I thought that, why are they posting in here,the minute I saw it,I'd be straight round telling them to get it off my land immediately

Thanks for your contribution. I noticed the loo when I came home from work yesterday. NDN were out. I went to see them this morning, it's sorted. I the meantime it was an entertaining discussion where I learned that my neighbours are really not so bad, and also several misunderstood acronyms for CF, so it an evening entirely wasted

He took his blow torch into the portaloo? Was he scared of spiders or something?

Brilliant!

I would politely ask them to move it tbh

but don't you need to sort out the boundary issue if a bit of your your house is in someone else's garden?

Well it's just the way the gardens are shaped. It's been like that for 200 yrs. I guess there's a chance it's not meant to but I don't think so. It's a terrace. Other house owned by council.

I thought it stood for CF - C*NT FACE

Glad that's been explained!

Yes they are being a cf!

I thought it meant “cxntfucker”…

Ask them to move it onto your neighbours land. It’s not that you aren’t happy to do a favour or be flexible, it’s that most people will start crossing small boundaries and then start taking larger liberties. Set your boundaries now!

That’s great, OP, lovely that you & your neighbours could sort it amicably. You’re still going to get a lot of idiots replying to your first post though.
