Neighbours in and out constantly, socialising with other neighbours.

[WhatLockdown]

Just wanted some opinions.
One of my neighbours house has the following people living there:
A mother
Her grown up daughter (late 20’s) and her two kids
Her grown up son (late 20’s/early 30’s)

The son is off work. However he is in and out of that house at least 30 times a day. And that honestly is not an exaggeration.

The daughter is out socialising with the quite a few neighbours from a few of the houses throughout the day, standing close to them and chatting to them for long lengths of time - 5-30 mins. If one of the neighbours has visitors, she’ll go over to them and stand right next to them, chatting to the neighbours and their visitors.
On occasions, both the son and daughter will stand outside chatting to the neighbours, including talking to neighbour who’s in their 60’s, all talking and smoking together.

It’s obvious they are clearly ignoring the lockdown and are not adhering to the social distancing.

I’ve not been out in almost 2 weeks. My husband only goes out to go to work, or to go grocery shopping which has been only once this week.

Seeing them outside all the time, popping in and out non stop, socialising with other neighbours is quite annoying.

AIBU to feel annoyed at their behaviour?

I know how you feel, I've worked from home this week so see everyone's comings and goings and I reckon most of my neighbours have been out in the car every day (the nurse and the fireman I'll excuse!). One family have grandparents and auntie/cousins living down the road (3 households) and they've been in n out to each other like there's nothing happening. I should add that the grandparents usually run round after everyone else so it's not like they're doing care work for them. Earlier in the week I was about to stick notes under everyone's windscreen wipers saying "where the do you think you're going now?!?".

I couldnt care less if ppl want to risk their lives. I just wish when they get the virus they stay at home, and leave the NHS alone, they brought it up on themselves acting like dickheads

Mine are the same, elderly (v. V. V. Nosy) couple, children and grandchildren coming and going all day, so I just wanted to let you know you're not alone in feeling annoyed with your neighbours, I am too.

There’s a Stasi informants hotline and website available now to report the minutiae of your neighbours behaviour.

You clearly have been keeping detailed notes on their movements so best you immediately rush to sob them in, I would think.

Maybe also buy some night vision goggles if you don’t yet have any.

How do you conclude that they are the nosy ones in this scenario. Some of you must have your eyeballs stuck to your window glass. I don’t have a clue what my neighbours are up to. Because I am inside. Locked down.

I've been coming and going FAR more than normal. I usually work from home, stack client meetings up on some days where I might be out of the house for hours. But at the moment I'm shuttling round delivering food parcels, shopping, prescriptions. All for other people. Between call outs (two different organisations) for assistance I'm coming home where in the past I might have gone and grabbed a hot drink or browsed the shops.

Quite often I'm out for less than 10 minutes - 2 minute drive to food bank, 2 minutes to collect parcel, 2 minutes to deliver somewhere and another 2 minutes to come back home. An hour later I might have another call to so the same.

I'm fully expecting one particular neighbour to be up in arms about it, he's a busy body at the best of times let alone now. I'm keeping a diary of exactly where I've been and why, whether I've stayed outside or gone in etc. I even made a video the other night when a friend who is in isolation asked for a few things for her family. Videoed the clock in the car and the stuff I was taking (it was from my own pantry so no receipt to prove anything). But just in case some busybody tries to complain or report.

You need to be absolutely sure you know what is going on, not just what you suppose to be the case. I've said it before on here about this, just remember that harassment legislation and particularly neighbour dispute legislation still applies and will apply at the end of all this mess.

I’m waiting for the lady across the road to say something to me. I can’t work from home ( housekeeper ) and need to work or no money for food. I know it’s coming as it’s the type of things she does

@ArriettyJones I know what my neighbours are up to even though I'm locked down.

They are either shielding or social distancing. It's weird because everyone deliberately hides from other neighbours as no-one wants to kill the other off.

It's not ideal but the vast majority of us are doing really well social distancing.
Theres no benefit to you keep worry about what you neighbours are doing unless it's a criminal act.
You cant control other people, only yourself

Maybe just stay in your house and stop curtain-twitching

Well my desk is right by the window so I'd hardly call it curtain twitching when I'm sat at it at least 8 hours a day!
Amusingly the ones who are coming and going between family have now got rainbows in their window!
