Would you call the police...

...on your neighbours?

My neighbours are having friends around atm. They have people around often and don't care about lockdown rules. They never cared really. I am a bit jealous tbh that they are having people around having fun/ drinking, when we can't have friends around due to obvious reasons.

I think there are 6people in the house.

What would you do?

I would mind my own business.

AuntyClementine · 05/02/2021 20:24

I’d completely ignore it and get on with my life. None of my business what other people do and doesn’t put me at any risk whatsoever.

Cissyandflora · 05/02/2021 20:24

My neighbours do the same. It’s annoying but I wouldn’t call the police.

HmmSureJan · 05/02/2021 20:25

What would I do?

Mutter angrily to my teens. Take a photo and send it to my sister with an angry face emoji and that's about it.

Nothing and just get on with my own life

I'll probably just do that I'm just a bit bitter atm and annoyed that I can't see my family and friends

The problem is that people do get annoyed because it's because of people like them that we are in this situation atm

Nothing. If you report them, you still have to live next to them with that on your conscious.

Nothing!!! You don't know what's going on in their lives. They might not be round for a social call there could be good reason for them to be together that your not privy too!

Kitkat151 · 05/02/2021 20:31

Do nothing....the police will do nothing even if you report it... and there will always be bad feeling between you and your neighbours

Leave them be. Swallow your jealousy or have friends round yourself. A virus is going to continue doing its thing no matter what.

RJnomore1 · 05/02/2021 20:35

Would I fuck

And no it’s not because of”people like them” we are in this situation it’s because of a virus not because people are human and need contact with others, and we need to start changing the rhetoric around it fast before we do even more damage than we have.

I would think about whether causing someone else misery would actually make me any happier.

For me, it wouldn't.

I know. In the hindsight it wouldn't bring me happiness either.

I guess I wanted to see people's opinion on this, and it feels like rules are there to be broken

Yes I would call 111 and report them. The police can do what the want with the information then.

zunchie · 05/02/2021 20:45

I'd report, if it's valid fair enough but if not it's just unnecessarily putting people at risk.

DuchessofHastings1 · 05/02/2021 20:46

If they were having a rave with over 20 people then yeah.

6 people drinking around a dinner table, I say mind your own business.

Some people are going beyond demented through not seeing the friends and socialising. You can have people round and keep your distance. I'm closer to people in a supermarket than I am when my mam comes round for a cup of tea.

You don't want people round its upto you, but let them get on with things.

Chunkymenrock · 05/02/2021 20:47

I would call the police. It's blatantly taking the piss. We're in lockdown, the rules are clear and I'm sick of people thinking they're above them. They absolutely should not be doing this.

^ absolutely this
BritWifeinUSA · 05/02/2021 20:55

I have never felt the need to spy on my neighbors or count how many people are in the house. Why would I start now?

Some people went from “we’re all in this together” to “call the police and report your neighbors” very fast. I pity you that there’s nothing more exciting going on in your life.
