Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
We have those large square gardening bags that fly away with the lightest breeze, I've seen the chap down the hill put out 17 at one time for the bin men.
I'm tempted to go and see if I can find one of my mine amongst his stash , but fear that I'd look like an oddball if he came out and caught me doing it.

A few weeks back the guy round the corner was cutting his front hedge with a chainsaw. Bearing in mind the hedge was about a foot tall, a foot wide and about 12 foot long I thought it was a bit overkill! I guess he'd just got a new toy and wanted an excuse to use it... 
You post this because ????If you are lucky enough to own a petrol chainsaw. It is beholden on you as a man to use it for all and any gardening. Including your bonsai collection!
Guy down the road has placed white painted rocks on the verge outside his house so nobody can park, then when having work done and there is a skip there he plonks his cars outside our house, that in itself doesnt bother me its the reserving the space outside his.
Anyway, its up for sale, at 140 grand more than the one that sold the other week, one extra bedroom but otherwise similar, hope it sells, going to steal the rocks before he goes.

My other half and I are currently in the process of moving from two (owned) houses into one. We may often only spend a day or two at each house in the week.
Last week we spent one evening in the week at my Flat, I think we'd been out somewhere, so the weeks recycling consisted of 1 wine bottle... It's a 4th story, decent property, decent area etc.
Bin day arrives, and rather than take the whole recycling box out for the sake of one bottle we popped it in one of the neighbours boxes that was already on the street as we left for work. Came home that evening to find the bottle, very neatly placed back outside my door! She had obviously watched my other half leave, and raced out to 'return' the bottle. Quite a lot of effort would have been involved in doing this. Very odd.

t. Thats really really, really sad.Johnnybee said:
If you have the time drop it in her bin just as the truck arrives so she doesn't have a chance to remove it. It'll drive her nuts 
Alternatively pretend to put something in her bin, walk off, hide round the corner and snigger like Muttley while you watch her empty the entire contents on the floor while looking for it.

And not just once, start slamming her bin lid very loudly at night, then hover suspiciously until you're 'spotted' and then run off looking guilty. I reckon you can probably bring on a mental breakdown within a fortnight (and yes there is probably something wrong with me

I've just realised I may be the odd neighbour.
We have three cars on the drive and my motorbike.
We all have our own places, mum has the middle one as it's easier to get my brothers wheel chair in, I'm to the left and step dad to the right. My bike goestrogen behind me your car.
Every now and then someone will park in my spot, I'm sure it's just to piss me off. My parents cars are bigger than my Corsa (nother very ph I know), and makes it a pain to get my bike out, so will often swap them around if I'm planning to use it.
To anyone watching it must look strange.

All this talk of parking uninvited outside someone else's house whiffs of council. How do they get through the gates in the first place?
ahem, this is PH- gates indeed.You mean how did they get past the gatekeepers house in the first place !!!
reminds me of my first long term gf as a young man. Was invited to the parents country house. She was a bit coy as to what it was like.
It really did have a gatehouse and a drive that her father was delighted to tell me, that he could get all 4 wheels spinning on his 4.4 RR overfinch as he batted it down the length !
