My neighbours are taking the absolute piss

[Kitchendoctor]

And I’m so mad at them!

Constant stream of visitors, having chats at the front of the house while leaving engines running, then talking about what delivery services they’ve got booked when they clearly couldn’t give a toss about abiding by the instructions.
Someone today also said that in the 2 weeks before lock down they’d spent £300 on freezer food.
Honestly taking the absolute piss.

Yesterday when I was reading in my back garden my neighbour had 2 visitors in her garden for an hour. I heard her proudly tell them she goes out for a paper every day and has a walk later...this is on top of walking a relatives dog in the mornings...so 3 trips out a day!

On a walk I saw a man go into the house of a family I know. He does not live there.

Today when forced into the front garden as a neighbour at the back loves playing his bloody music as loudly as possible every time the sun comes out...another bloke went into the house opposite. He does not live there.

These are things I can't help noticing, I do not look for it. So god knows what I miss. I despair.

I looked this afternoon @lizziesiddal and it is not anonymous. I don’t want my neighbour to find out I reported him. We have to share an adjoining wall with him and I can’t be arsed with further fallout from it.

[LizzieSiddal]

Why don’t you report these people? I wouldn’t hesitate to do so. You can do it online I think rather than phone 101.

My neighbours up the road have had family there all day today. I know this because I recognise the car parked outside. Fools.

Half the population of the UK are of below average intelligence. Some people are making it obvious which half they belong too.

Love this thread. I thought I was in the minority getting wound up about people's stupidity. Thank you for restoring my faith....I too stay next to selfish people who think it doesn't apply to them but have shamed me for not going out to clap....oh well!

My next door neighbours son who's in his 20 is constantly coming back and forth in his car atleast 5 times a day, I only know because his car is so damn noisy (which every single car hes had has been noisey). Normally they are inconsiderate at the best of times lots parties and loud music to the early hours especially bank holiday. I've half expected a party but so far they haven't makes a chance. I'm not surprised by their behaviour as generally they are selfish people.

I can easily spend £300 on meat/fish and other stuff for the freezer at Costco and in fact, I do it every couple of months so I don’t see what’s wrong that

[MinesaBottle]

Two lots of visitors today who drove here then stood at the gate chatting (one after the other) for hours. Our front doors are right next to each other so I couldn’t go out for exercise until late afternoon. Yes, they were clapping and banging pans on Thursday.

Next door's girlfriend has been visiting for the weekend, again. Only this weekend she's done it while coughing a LOT.
No idea what she's thinking. I'd not be visiting anyone at the moment if I wasn't 100%, even without the 'stay in your own home, don't mix with other households' advice.

[IHateCoronavirus]

All of these posts sound so familiar that when reading them I was convinced we must all be living on the same street.

I am a teacher looking after key worker children. The poor key workers look shattered collecting their children.

I am sure they would love to have the time to sit in the sun having bbqs with friends and families, but there is a deadly pandemic stopping them.

[7nationarmy]

its crazy+
I am a nurse and like many see it first hand
I dont think people understand its not an extended holiday

[Titsywoo]

My neighbour blatantly said to me that he doesn't believe in coronavirus. I'm afraid for some people there is no excuse.

[tumpymummy]

I'm lucky because my neighbours are all thoughtful and are all staying home. I'm hoping that the virus will cull all the stupid people that cant be bothered to follow the guidance.

[pigsDOfly]

I'm beginning to wonder if one of my neighbours is living on a different planet from me.

They've had family visiting and friends over to play with their children, they're coming and going every day with the children, just carrying on as normal. I don't get it.

I know this makes me sound as if I'm watching them, but I'm really not and only became aware of this because of being outside in the warm weather. We have very small gardens and their parking is right next door to my garden.

I wonder why some people are just not sticking to the rules. Do they think it not really happening? Or are they just so convinced it won't happen to them, that they can just ignore it?

[ReallyLoveChickens]

I’m very disappointed in my own parents today.

They have my brother over for a BBQ in the back garden. I expected better of them tbh.

[Gigabitten]

Sunshine - you can imagine that they are not exactly the nicest people to start with and I already don't get on with them.
One set are hopefully moving, should quieten their mates down that live opposite.

I've already had nails in my tyres after I complained to them about their builders leaving fencing and scaffolding leaning against my car - builders were also mates, and they've threatened my kids just for walking past their house (I was watching them go to the post box and back), they've stolen the kids toys out of my garden and set fire to one of my trees.

If I complained about the carer - god knows what they'll do in retaliation. I'm sorry for the people they are putting at risk, but they are not living close to them day in and day out.

I'm desperate to move as it's my only hope but am stuck for the foreseeable due to finances and other issues.

[maa1992]

My neighbours are currently having a bbq in their back yard with all other neighbours from the street.

Meanwhile my FIL is fighting for his life in hospital with corona virus

[SunshineCake]

Yours to *@LegoBloodyHurts .

[SunshineCake]

*@Gigabitten I really feel you have a duty to report the "carer" since the vulnerable person could end up dead .

[TeaSoakedDisasterMagnet]

@canigooutyet yeh you’re projecting. He’s fine.

[Flaxmeadow]

Same where live, I've even heard neighbours brag about how they still go to the pub, but it's just as bad on mumsnet
Post after post encouraging people to break the rules, or excusing it

[NeneValley]

My neighbours are the same, but what can you do, no point whinging. Just keep your own family safe as possible, it’s all you can do.

Neighbours on one side have their adult kids/grandkids round parked on the front drive having a chat several times since lockdown and he’s older age group (well he must be 60s at least) and he’s a care home caretaker still going to work.

[jojobar]

My neighbours are total cunts but they were very obviously so even before lockdown. Their kids are screaming outside in the garden for hours (5 of them, in a tiny garden, aged 5-11. Not one has a speaking voice, they all shout all the time, and constantly fight and upset each other so one is always wailing. Parents either stay indoors or are outside being noisier than the kids) and if they're not in the garden they're out playing on the road - we live on a bus route, it's a busy road so completely unsuitable.

They've continued to play outside despite current restrictions and today were outside with kids from 3 other houses. All watched by the parents, none of whom were observing social distancing. The whole family go out several times a week by car for an afternoon visiting family (which at least gives us some peace) and if not they have people visiting them. Scummy fuckers.

[canigooutyet]

It is possible that 30-year-old 'man chid' could need type of support. Not stuff you would normally go around telling your random neighbours about. Some people share other peoples info far easier than their own.

Protect, the sad thing is, we both know someone will be there re-creating your whole life for you, and judging their perceived objections.

The ambulance guys berated. It could be a couple of colleagues having a last-minute get together before they all go onto the clean or dirty week. Forgot which is the working/none working fortnight shifts to help them still power through. Under those circumstances, I'd be telling them to have one on me cos they deserve it. Not ideal, but a couple of more hours still around each other isn't a big deal because they know they are a lot closer to patients than they are to mates. At least there is some distance, unlike in the back of the ambulance.
