My single neighbour has a woman round

Neighbour is an eternally single batchelor - he appears to have pulled a woman and is getting her drunk in his living room (naaaice). He does this from time to time. I can hear them through the walls.

Without going into details he’s a selfish arse - should I report him? If I do l, he’ll surely know it’s me. Will anyone actually care?

OP posts:

I live in a terrace, my neighbour is single. Barely know if he's in or not let alone if people are visiting him.

That is good news. But sadly it's not always like that.

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 11:48

No I can understand you would take an interest, but wouldn't the information fade away, unless you had a reason to hold it (bad behaviour etc ).

It could but I guess there is a global pandemic and OP might be really worried about covid, as many people are.

And she thinks that ratting on her neighbour for having sex will somehow improve the pandemic?

She's not 'worried about covid'.

She said upthread that another neighbour does similar things but she wouldn't report him because he's 'lovely'. However, because this neighbour is 'an arse' she might.

She's just a nosy neighbour with an unhealthy interest in other people's sex lives.

balla20 · 26/10/2020 12:13

@notevenat20 yes I know hence why I was preferring an alternative view to

But one should be fair and say that if you live in a terraced house, say, you do naturally know about people coming and going from your neighour's house.

Gobacktothe90s · 26/10/2020 12:13

Support bubble household are allowed to mix indoors with a single adult household.

Please make sure you know the rules before grassing your neighbour up. Also funny you dropped later on in messages you know he is bubbling with another household

balla20 · 26/10/2020 12:15

@notevenat20 didn't you say the OP is more likely to catch covid if this neighbour has it? If so why? And why would she be more likely to catch it off the neighbour she doesn't like instead of the one she does like?

@MessAllOver

The rule of 6 is for humans not dogs FFS. *@RockingMyFiftiesNot*.

Oh, is it? Gosh, I hadn't understood that . Better go remove my "6 max. Pls observe social distancing" sign from the bird-feeder. The sparrows and robins weren't really paying any attention anyway. Thank you, you've saved me an embarrassing call to the police - I was going to report the little buggers once I'd dealt with my neighbours.

I try to count the greedy little fuckers on mine, to keep the rule of 6 but they cunningly move around too fast

Just in general, if people are infected near where you live, you are more likely to get infected. Maybe the OP is never within 2 metres of their neighbour, even though they are neighbours. Even then the neighbour can infect someone who the OP is within 2 metres of .

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 12:23

I don't think she was proposing to phone the police about the shagging was she? Surely it was about covid rule breaking, unless I misunderstood.

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 12:24

I may have misunderstood but I thought the OP's concern was covid rule breaking wasn't it?

balla20 · 26/10/2020 12:25

If the OP doesn't like the neighbour I doubt she will be in contact with him. However if that is her concern why is she ok with the other neighbour?

If it was about the Covid rule breaking she’d have reported her other neighbours who are breaking the rules.

balla20 · 26/10/2020 12:27

TBH normally I wouldn’t give a fig. In fact other single elderly gentleman two doors down frequently has his lady friend round but he’s lovely.

In fact my lovely neighbour on the other side has had her equally lovely sister here this weekend (although those two are basically a support bubble) and it never even occurred to me that they were doing something they shouldn’t

From the OP. Where's the covid concern here?

longwayoff · 26/10/2020 12:30

I don't think you've spread news of this shocking behaviour far enough. Make a nice big poster with his photo and an arrow on it then put it in your window. "Bloke next door attempting to establish a relationship with another human being". There's apparently a lack of them nearby.

And what are the rules supposed to be for?

PinkFondantFancy · 26/10/2020 12:34

Wow. I thought this thread was a joke but apparently it's not. What kind of a person rats on their neighbour for "breaking the rules" anyway! Didn't realise the stasi lives on. Depressing

You did misunderstand.

She said herself upthread that another neighbour also has lady visitors around, but because he's 'lovely' she won't report him. However, since this guy is supposedly an 'arse' she's thinking of doing just that.

Covid has nothing to do with it, rather the 'lovliness' or the 'arsiness' or the supposed rool breaker concerned.

Maybe. I just find people's interpretations less than generous. Another option is that although she doesn't want either person to do it, she really doesn't want the lovely person to get in trouble.

I think the govt asked us explicitly to report people breaking covid rules. I haven't done it myself but people do report crimes. And this is a form of rule breaking that can directly harm everyone.

PinkFondantFancy · 26/10/2020 13:32

The government can explicitly ask you to anything. That doesn't absolve you of the need to use some critical thought on whether what you're being asked to do is reasonable or creates the kind of society you want to live in.

PhilCornwall1 · 26/10/2020 13:33

Everyone? Highly unlikely.

What interpretations?

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 13:49

What interpretations?

Interpretations of the motivations and context of the OP.
