He is burning garden waste in this heat!

[Thingcanonlygetbetter]

Sitting outside as inside is too warm. I start to smell smoke. Then I have ash raining on me. My next door neighbour is burning garden waste. Like what the actual in this heat. House stinks of smoke. I went and spoke to him and he was so dismissive as if I was being dramatic. I was in such shock I was actually polite. Was worried that things could go on fire given how dry it is.
Am I being unreasonable to be flipping raging.

My neighbour has put up giant huge mirrors in the heat I mean huge like 1.5 m high and 1.5 across and got two of them attached them to their wall and they point at our Woden fence. Can’t approach them as they are very confrontational and it’s not illegal. But seriously - I’m tempted to invite a roaming child with a catapult in for a play date (I don’t have one!) whilst they are on holiday - that’s a joke ! I mean they must’ve put up knowing a heat wave was on the way. Incredible. To have the smell of smoke is next level - I would not have been happy!

YABU to be "raging" but I agree, it's dangerous in this weather.

Some people are just a bit stupid and don't think things through.

I wish all of these morons could be housed together somewhere

That would be awesome- they could all live together and annoy the shit out of each other.

This happens all the time where I live. Boiling hot day with all windows and doors closed. Open up after sundown to the stench of one or another neighbour burning shit. It boggles my mind and gives me proper rage.

I was just sitting quietly minding my business and then I have ash raining on me, our cars, patio furniture are covered in ash. I love my house and other neighbours and this bollacks just ruins it all. I wish him nothing but bad Karma. I have never met a man that nobody likes and nobody has anything good to say about and he is my bloody next door neighbour 🥲

Sounds quite dangerous in this heat imo! Not sure if I’m being dramatic

I had a neighbour who would light up a massive fire pit in this sort of weather right by the back of his house. All the smoke would just pour into mine, even with the doors closed and I am asthmatic. He was such a bellend.

Why do they do it, though? I mean, it’s objectively hot out there. Why heat up the air and atmosphere more? I detest it.

Very dangerous in this weather (as well as inconsiderate)

Most definitely not iirc there were a few properties destroyed due to burning embers last year.

i am also asthmatic and I could feel my chest tightening before I got rained on by ash. I am
a very considerate person and I always think of others and just cannot believe he would do this and then when I politely mentioned it, he was soo dismissive of me.

Well I could only hope he burns his own gaff down and has no insurance 🤪 I will tell you if he started a go fund me he would get nothing as everyone hates him, including his own siblings

🙈 I feel your pain, I have thought about that from my end - could I put a mirror up that reflects to his dung heap - would it go on fire. 🤣 But I am too considerate.

Are you my neighbour? I have a neighbour in my street like this who's been burning stuff today.

We have lived here ten years and these people have just been tortures for the last five years. They don’t work and had a holiday place they went to when kids were smaller, so were never here. Now they are here, wife seems lovely but he is beyond weird. It is way to outing for me to type what he said to me tonight but was shocking. I am
shocked at myself as I have my own business and am know to stand my ground and have a firm but fair rep. I think anyone I work with would be shocked I just took that tonight. I could not even communicate with this person - I was polite he was dismissive and said his sectarian bit and I walked away! It’s like dealing with a mental person,

That sounds potentially quite dangerous - I was just reading on here yesterday about a mumsnetter who had a little mirror in her kitchen which cause the curtains to catch fire! Who on earth do your neighbours think they are, bloody Archimedes with a death ray?

Could you accidentally knock a tin of paint over them or something? 🥴

I think there is another twat beside you burning. I live in N. Ireland. I live in a very rural area but happen to have the thickest, stupid, sectarian next door neighbour

Spike Island off the coast of Cork is empty now! Used to be a prison on it!

This would be good! Would be particularly painful for this boy to live in the Republic of Ireland or the free state 🤣

Of the 79 votes who in the gods name are the 14 people saying I am being unreasonable. Like what - My house is filled with smoke on the hottest day of the year and my neighbour was not one bit sorry.

Oh and ROI benefits system is better he would enjoy that!

Other selfish people who like to burn shit in their gardens on boiling hot days.

Republic of Ireland or the free state

They're both the same.

I'd be calling the fire brigade OP. Very dangerous what he is doing, especially with a breeze - was one today where I was, lovely and cooling - drifting embers around.

You only need some shards of glass around to heat up and Whoosh!

Some right idiots around. Sorry you live next to one OP.

It’s either they are absolutely stupid or they just think what can I do to annoy the hell out of people
