Odd things your neighbours do?

The landfill bin is out on the pavement, in full view of my dining room, overflowing already with 4 days more rubbish to go "in" it, on Wednesday afternoon, ready for collection on.......Monday morning. And no, they're not away, they are at home. Looking forward to my litter picking duties on the front lawn later.

FFS.

Get up early one morning, wheel it down the road and round the corner.

Providing the drone isn't controlled by a bluetooth remote that is!

Good idea this, teams of vigilantes could round up feral wheelie bins and impound them.

They have baths in the morning. Maybe weird, but I know because I can hear their arses rub on the tub. They are late 70's.

They usually have a poo before too.

Lovely.

Do have a stethoscope against the wall?

I wish! Loud enough to wake me up sometimes.

Our trampy neighbours do that here, I'm forever clearing up their st.

They take zero pride in the house or garden, they're renters and appear to not give one st about their takeaway boxes blowing all over the road.

Yes, great track, but not really ' garden ' related.

how much time do you have on your hands that you sit there listening to all that?

Depends on how long it takes him to finish cracking one off to it.

I think you need a hobby.

One of the left behind tree stumps.




Well, at least I will have more natural light in the evening. Hope the (grey) squirrels don't have to go too far for a new home as seeing them around is part and parcel of this area.

See that bit of broken fence?

Well a skip arrived to collect the tree remains and fence remains.

1st oddness - The skip driver didn't put it on right as the builder had a word and then the skip truck reversed and bumped the skip further up the driveway with the truck. Not sure that was good for the driveway material underneath.

2nd oddness: The builder and 2 labourers were foreign, however they were all from different nations. I know this as they communicated in their 2nd language of english. Imagine a conversation where someone who doesn't speak english very welll is then explaining instructions to another person who doesn't speak very well Nice guys though.

3rd Oddness. They have removed that bit of fence, and built a new bit of fence. Whats odd? They have built it out of posts and OSB. Including a OSB gate. Who uses OSB for a fence!!

I'm surprised that you're all surprised about illmonkey knowing his neighbour's routines. When in bed I can very easily hear whenever my upstairs neighbours go for a piss, even though they're girls it's quite audible and as I'm lying in an otherwise silent bedroom it's impossible to not notice. Likewise the noise of backside sliding on a wet bath is unmistakeable.

I get satisfaction from knowing that the neighbours underneath me can certainly hear the earth shattering eruptions when I'm sat on the Porcelain Throne the morning after a heavy night out. It's a wonder that they even still talk to me quite frankly.

It's weird because otherwise, noise transfer in our flats is very low, I rarely hear much other than footsteps if they're wearing heels on the hardwood floor. I guess it must be because the toilets are all connected through a central soil pipe.

It's always a shame to lose a lovely old tree, but looking at the picture, there is no way that tree and those sheds and the fence could have continued to co-exist. (We have to take out two large fir trees from the front garden which were beginning to move the fence and also threaten the mains drainage.)

People who have come from countries where some of the housing is less substantial than your sheds.

Thank you! Some sense. It's an old building converted, so no concrete floors etc. It's hard not to hear it when trying to sleep or when you wake up and cradling your amour in your arms. Music has become part of my routine now, to try and cover the noise up.

It's quite funny because I can hear when my upstairs neighbour is on the toilet. He also sneezes on time at 8PM every single evening except for Fridays when he comes home battered at about 1am.

He has a glass of red wine with dinner. He is allergic to tannin, but perhaps does not realise it. This is very common.

[DRFC1879]

I must have some sort of allergy to something in booze. About four or five pints into a session I always have a sneezing fit but that's possibly due to the time between first drink and fourth/fifth hitting my system. /boringmode

This also happens to me, not happened to anybody else i've ever met though and also it only ever happens after the four or five pint mark as you say, i can have a couple with no sneezing at all. Also as soon as i've had the sneezing fit i then don't sneeze again. All very weird but as you say, must be an allergy of some kind!
