to think this is just plain rude.

This morning I woke up to find people in my garden having a snow ball fight. There were adults and children. its quite clearly a garden and not just a piece of random land.... it has fences fgs!
I cleared the path last night and they haave kicked snow back all over it and have run through my neighbours garden too.

I know its a bit pathetic but I dont see why they have to right to come onto my property and mess about.

Keep a watch for them and throw ice bombs at them.

I would like to say I would let that go myself, kids just enjoying the snow......but I would be annoyed too YANBU

...or as soup says.....join in ...bombs awayyyyyy

YANBU.They shouldn't be entering your garden.

I'd be annoyed too. They could be trampling on plants etc. Anyway, it's your garden and your snow! There are loads of places to have snowball fights.

Did you ask them why they were having a snowball fight in your garden?

I let the kids on our street have all the snow off my drive for their snowman as they had used all theirs up on a snowball fight, but when they wanted the snow in my back garden I had to draw the line - it is still pristine and lovely!

kids i would excuse
adults - not sure really it's a bit out of order
did you tell them to bugger off/make them clear your path again?

I'd not be too annoyed about children - but adults? That's incredibly rude!

What happened?

I was have asleep.... half dressed shreiking out the window "what do you think your doing in my garden" at which point they all giggled hystericly and ran off.
I think me dishevelled appearance frightened them a bit i dont look good at the best of times!

The most annoying bit about it was that it looked so pretty before.... now its all messy. Ds is upset too. he didnt manage to go out in it yesterday and he loves making foot prints in the snow.... just walking up and down but now its all fluffed up and wont be the same.

I would be fuming, all the bulbs are just coming up in my garden.

This is worse though, a child wearing gloves with big metal clasps seriously damaged the paintwork on my car's bonnet by scraping snow off for snowballs in December.

I bought one of those car covers and whip it over now when snow is forecast.

YANBU. In the snow last year I looked out the window to see a man who lives a few doors away stealing snow from my garden and off the car. I secretly hated him anyway, but it gave me the perfect excuse to open the door and shout at him that our snow was for our children, not him! Dh said I completely overreacted, but I was heavily pregnant at the time. I am keeping a close eye on the garden incase he returns to nick more snow this year. Your garden, your snow.

It is rude, I had some kids chucking snowballs at the window, so I opened the door and told them if they did not stop I would rip their fucking heads off, (I am very bad tempered some days)

The kids in my street kindly cleared all the snow of my car last night. Saved me the job of scrapping frozen stuff off it this morning

But being in your garden is not good. They could do loads of damage to plants, pots etc that they cant see under the snow.

My front garden is a memory garden for my DD and I get v.v.v. twitchy if anyone sets foot off the path!

incacat I was secretly thinking omg thats my snow... theyre stealing my snow!!! but I managed to resist the urge of yelling that at them. then they really would have thought i was nuts.

I dont like kids taking it off the car either.... i would not be happy if my car got scratched.... thats my job!

inacat - lol at that's my snow.

I think you should respect people's territory - me and dd were walking past a house the other day that had loads of virgin snow in the drive, she was tempted to run amok and make footprints (and she is 14 fgs, hardly a little kid) and I told her not to, it was their property (and snow).

People do get silly with snow don't they. Me and dd tried that whole stepping in someone's footprints thing. We must have looked like idiots.

Haha Kimi!
Yes it is rude. I don't think even kids should be excuse from going into someone else's garden. So what if there's snow in there? It's private property!

YANBU
last time it snowed I drove to town where the snow was all manky and while I was waiting outside my car some adult men decided to take the snow off the rook of it and chuck it at each other. Fine, except I was standing right in the middle. I even seriously jokingly warned them not to catch me in the crossfire and I still got a load of snow in the face. They got short shrift after that. Snow turns people into maniacs IME.

roof not rook

I'd have chucked a bucket of icy water over them cheeky gits.

YANBU at all.
