So my neighbours teenage son has been smoking doobies in the garden with his parents consent. His father is a policeman and actually a firearms officer. I'm concerned that he may be using Ur at least getting high from the passive smoking. I want to report him to his superiors but DH is adamantly against it and says I'm being dramatic. Really between a rock and a hard place. AIBU if I report him?

Have you been doing some passive doobie smoking?

I like a glass of wine and the occasional g and t on celebratory nights. I'm not denying my use of alcohol buts it's all.above board and I always wait 48 hours to drive or use the iron or lawn mower etc.

Fuck ironing. No one will make me do that; either under the influence or sober. I wonder if a doobie might make ironing more fun? Asking for a friend obvs

Imagine if it did though.

“stop my carpet getting fluffy”

”stop my house getting untidy”

”stop raining on my almost dry laundry”

Only four bathrooms?

You’re obviously also a drunkard 🤣
