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?

Doubt you be laughing if you had this decision to make.

Why? It’s hardly Sophie’s Choice ffs

JLou08 · 17/05/2026 11:33

I agree with your DH, you are being dramatic. People smoke cannabis out in the open, the police don't care. I don't even think it's an arrestable offence to smoke it (unless driving). There is no way his dad is getting high from his son smoking it in the garden.

I have hun. Live in a 4 bedroom detached, 2 children excelling at school and well respected in my neighborhood. Don't be bitter get better.

So your meaning of having a life is living in a 4 bedroom detached house with kids excelling at school? That kind of says it all doesn't it.

Hi, apologies for last nights emotional rudeness to folks replying with opinions I didn't like. I got myself into quite a state about what I now realise is a situation I should keep out of. Family and pet problems plus a few bottles of wine equals extremely embarrassed HH. Will be a silent reader for now until I learn how to engage properly on these threads. Thankyou also to the few helpful souls last night that reached out when in my drunken and anxious state I couldn't silence the notifications. 2 of them of them I had been rude to and upset but they still offered instructions. Take care and enjoy rest of the weekend.

😳😩 yes poor choice of vernacular to use. Was in the heat if the moment when I wanted to lash out at anyone and chose my neighbours. Iv never actually used that term IRL.

You clearly can't handle your drink OP. Sort your own shitty life choices out before starting on your neighbours.

I agree with you wholeheartedly, last night was a huge wake up call. I'm cringing at most of what I wrote.

At least you admit it, something I suppose!

What job do you do? I mean let’s call into question your integrity.

Our outside areas usually smell of weed. Think it’s only me and dh and the couple next door who don’t love it off. I don’t get it and I never have x

This thread is a treat to wake up to. I don’t think I’ve laughed so much at 6am on a Sunday since my clubbing days many moons ago.

Stand down! Abort thread! Abort!! Abort!! ALEXA, STOP PEOPLE REPLYING!

@HumbleHun

Morning! Well, afternoon!

You apologised last night, so no need for any more.

You turned in to comedy gold, so for that, I thank you 😂

No need to stay silent. Don't feel bad. I've done worse and had threads deleted and warnings from those upstairs.

You're here, you've explained... It's all cool. It's all good. I saw that people had logged on earlier to bring you up on some things, but they couldn't have read the full thread.

How is your dog today? (and dare I ask how the hangover is?!!)

Don't hide.

UniquePinkSwan · 17/05/2026 13:17

It’s only weed that should be legalised anyway. The police would do nothing anyway and rightly so

HornyHornersPinger · 17/05/2026 13:19

Op, if you're feeling a little 'delicate' today after a few drinks last night - I believe you can say "Hangover go!!!" and you'll suddenly feel ok.

You can't just say it, it needs typing.

🤣

Just brilliant.

There should be a new thread where we just type what we want to happen!

Indeed.

I've PM'd @HumbleHun to say no need to feel bad or hide away. It was very brave to come back and apologise. I'm hoping she's got her head down and getting some kip.

I couldn't stop laughing last night (this morning) at the written instructions. Absolutely brilliant.

I'm the first one to call myself a dickhead and fair play.
Absolutely accidental comedy genius 🤣
I'm jealous!
