Odd things your neighbours do?
Discussion
I had a guy move into my block of flats a while back and rig up three 'security' cameras on the front of the building. He was on the first floor, we've got video entry, so other than perving on the schoolkids that walk past each day I couldn't see any reason for them...
We're in a conservation area so someone complained and they were taken down.
I just wish we could get some resolution on the van and car another neighbour 'stores' in the car park. The van has been here longer than me, and I'm pushing a decade. It has never moved an inch. Long haired old

I would sign Mr Grumpy up to every bit of junk mail that I could.

t.co.uk/Thing I find odd about my neighbour: They seem to have most windows open regardless of weather or temperature outside, and when it rains they tend to leave their washing out rather than bring it indoors. Even if it rains for days, it's just out there hanging like they don't know how to deal with this issue. Only comes in when it stops raining, presumably to be washed again.

A friends neighbour, who lives in a house that is so overgrown with trees that they need all of the lights on, even on the brightest day of the year, once left a load of washing on the line until it actually rotted off the pegs.Xaero said:

Just had to check your profile to make sure you're not my neighbour 
We tend to have the windows open in most weathers as we like the fresh air through the house, first thing we do in the morning is to open the bedroom window whatever the weather really.
And because we're both out at work we do get caught out with the weather quite often with washing on the line. And I'd rather wait for it to stop raining and it dry a bit rather than collect sopping wet clothes in the rain. And yes it goes straight back in the washing machine

Tempting. But given the fact he felt angry enough to get solicitors involved for a friendly invite, he would probably get the police firearms unit round.
He didn't have to go. He could have said no thanks, He could have ignored it and done absolutely nothing. But no, he felt he had to spend £xx's on a solicitors letter for that.
What an utterly miserable tt

The people behind me start cutting their lawn and then give up after about 15 mins because it is so over grown. I don't think they have realized that the grass doesn't cut itself so it will still be there when they decide to do it again apart from its longer.
Where I live isn't full of council chav types, these people must of paid the best part of £380k for the house they are in and the garden is a complete mess.
They also decided to build a decking area and rather than putting posts into the ground to secure it to they screwed the framework to the flimsy gravel board of the fence and laid a few slabs for the front edge to sit on. I really think they don't have a clue what they are doing.

not really a neighbour again, but i place i walk past on my way home.
the front of the house has a compacted gravel, ash, slate type drive, the whole front of the house, you can just see into the garden as you come down the road and it looks nice.
last week in the really hot weather, as i walk home, there is a middle aged lady sitting in a deck chair on the front drive right at the front of the drive near the road (main road) sunning herself.
couldn't understand why she was doing it there and not in the back garden (side gate was open), and because of the angles of the sun etc she had to be right at the front of the drive to get the sun.

If the garden isn't south facing it would make sense.the front of the house has a compacted gravel, ash, slate type drive, the whole front of the house, you can just see into the garden as you come down the road and it looks nice.

Maybe waiting for Yodel to deliver a 'While you were out' card the front of the house has a compacted gravel, ash, slate type drive, the whole front of the house, you can just see into the garden as you come down the road and it looks nice.

There's a house that I walk past when walking the dog and I am fascinated by the amount of rubbish they produce.
They have two wheelie bins, and for each fortnightly collection they are both absolutely rammed, always enough to lift the lids and sometimes with bungee cords holding the lids down. Every other week, their recycling bin is the same.
From nosing the bags that are spilling out of it as I walk past (I'm a bit obsessed by it), it doesn't look like there's anything unusual in there, and it's not a big family, I think it's two adults and either one or two kids. They're not fatties either, so it's not just excessive food.
One day I think I'll crack, and in the middle of the night, go and see what the bloody hell is in there black-ops style.

You sure that you aren't related to me? I'm now obsessed with bin etiquette, I blame it on old age.

You'd be fascinated with us then; Mrs DS and I have a big "normal" 240l bin which is absolutely stuffed to overflowing (I keep a shovel by the bin just to mash it down), a glass and cans wheelie bin (cans are crushed flat, plastic bottles flattened and glass bottles smashed if we're desperate - always full. It's the bin of shame.), a cardboard and paper wheelie bin and two 240 litre garden waste bins. The garden waste bins are collected weekly and are absolutely stuffed. Excess other general waste and cans etc gets stuck in neighbours bins.Complete pain in the arse!
