We pay a company to clean our bins once a month on bin day. I’m not usually home when they come, but I’m off work today And happened to be in the kitchen. I watched my next door neighbour wait until the cleaner left, take the house number sticker off my bin and put it on his, then swap our bin for his so he had the cleaned bin and I had a non-cleaned one.

He was back in his house before I had time to contain the dog and go outside but now DH is home, WIBU to go round and ask for my bin back??

Just take it back and swap the numbers back around. Cheeky git

Si1ver · 28/06/2021 19:57

Christ no. Go round and tell him you saw him change numbers and get your clean bin back.

What the actual fuck is your neighbour up to?

Si1ver · 28/06/2021 19:57

Also paint your number on the bin so he can't do it again.

Absolutely the plan!

He’s a local councillor as well!

Agree that you need to paint your bin number on (or flowers or something jazzy)!

But YANBU to go round and tell the CF you've seen them and take your bin back... How often do you think they do this? Do you reckon they do this every time you have the bin cleaned?

Darkstar4855 · 28/06/2021 20:01

If he’s a councillor then I’d wait and film him the next time he does it and post the footage on facebook.

It must be the first time because I’ve never noticed the bin isn’t cleaned when the cleaners are supposed to have been, although I really don’t pay much attention! I’ve asked DH and he thinks we wouldn’t have noticed and this guy has probably done it before, but DH is a right dramalama and really dislikes this guy anyway.

He can’t have done this before surely??

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cannot believe the audacity of this cheeky fuker!

Si1ver · 28/06/2021 20:05

He must have done. If he were in and out that quick he surely must have been waiting for the scheduled clean to finish so he could nip out and swap them over.

30degreesandmeltinghere · 28/06/2021 20:05

Cctv? Shame him on social media...

JackieWeaversAuthorityHere · 28/06/2021 20:06

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I cannot believe the audacity of this cheeky fuker!
I keep questioning whether I actually saw it or not but I’ve checked and our bin is dirty so I definitely did!

I’m popping round. Wish me luck!

I'd go round and pretend I'd filmed it.

Good. I'm completely gobsmacked by this behaviour.

SmellThat · 28/06/2021 20:08

Id go round and if he denied it I'd tell him I recorded him doing it as I couldn't believe anyone could be so cheeky

MadeForThis · 28/06/2021 20:10

I'd say it was recorded too.

Crazycakelady17 · 28/06/2021 20:11

What a brass neck I’m gobsmacked we had one neighbour steal our hun and gave us there cracked one caught it on cctv

Possible but it’s worked

annacondom · 28/06/2021 20:11

Ooh awaiting developments.

Toebean · 28/06/2021 20:12

That is one of the most CF thibgs Ive ever heard. I’d be round there in a flashAngry

ihtwsf · 28/06/2021 20:12

Straight round.
If you get an unsatisfactory response from him just go and get the bin and take it back. Paint your number on it and swap the stickers over.

ApolloandDaphne · 28/06/2021 20:13

What a cheeky fucker.

BigRedDuck · 28/06/2021 20:13

OMG!! That's a proper CF 😳😂

Randomness12 · 28/06/2021 20:13

This is madness! Seems like a bizarre thing to do but I agree, he must have done it before. CF!

Nutrigrainygoodness · 28/06/2021 20:14

Oooh hurry up OPs DH 😂😂
