Does anyone else think he's a bit nasty?

If you can't see how they affect me, you have serious problems with empathy. I empathise with your neighbour and I'm using my situation to show this, so please get over this. I'm just glad I am not your neighbour, seriously. I also don't agree with upsetting an elderly neighbour (who probably doesn't have the option to move) through pure laziness and self-entitlement. What has the world come to?

Plus... just in case you still can't work out how it affects me. Here is a list. Goodnight...and don't ask for opinions when you just want people to agree with you! Hilarious.

1. I cannot get out of my gate at times
2. Devalues the area and knocks money off my home
3. Crime - people who you wouldn't want outside your house are going through the bins for financial info...and they make a noise at about 4am. I have personally scared them away and local councillors are also trying to catch them.
4. Looks unsightly
5. Sign of an inconsiderate neighbour? Who wants to live next to one of those?

It's a bin! A black plastic thing that holds rubbish. On his land. It doesn't move, it doesn't play loud music, it doesn't abuse others, shout at them or threaten them. It stays still all week, it can't devalue a house as everyone has one, it's just there not hurting anyone. I feel sorry for the venom his bin is receiving.

If he was throwing the bin at his neighbour it would be different but it seems to only be serving the purpose it was invented for.

Not really , but he may be a bit frustrated with your slightly odd and protracted contribution to the thread.

you sound like you are judging him based on your (entirely different) situation.

I think there may be only a select few people on the planet who find wheelie bins attractive (and those select people probably have a specialist website and secret meetings where they can swop photos of their wheelie bin p0rn) and everyone else finds them a big, ugly but necessary lump of plastic.

They are unavoidable, everywhere you look they are there to a lesser (in the ops case) or greater (in other peoples case) degree.

But in the ops defence he's been there 1 month and been told to move his bins, move his car, move the potential location of his sky dish...... it's not just about bins now, it's about people dictating how he can live and not even having the decency to ask him politely to his face.

Hey listen guys. I don't like visible wheelie bins. I gave a different perspective. Deal with it. I don't spend my life dedicated to the cause, I don't start threads on wheelie bins, but they affect day-to-day life down my street.

I gave my opinion. It was asked for. Some of you don't agree with it, but this thread surely isn't just designed to have a lot off about his neighbour? Or, being nasty (mental capacity - really?) to someone giving alternate opinions. If so, please carry on without me because - seamlessly - I have a documentary on North Korea to watch.

if you have the time in your life to worry about someone elses bins stored neatly on their property I am very jealous of you, I would love to have so much time on my hands

But, but....you have time aswell, to have a rant!

Horses for courses.

I think your neighbour has been like a red rag to a bull with you.

In fairness, you moved them to the side. But it is really eating at you that someone would DARE ask you to make the front of your house a little less unsightly.

So you are biting back. On here anyway. You dnt like bing told what to do by an old timer who has lived there for centuries, and likes the way the place is kept nice. That is why it is "upmarket", as you say.

What happened to a bit of communication...face to face?

Have you and the objecting neighbour discussed the issue yet together? Did you mention sky dishes and whatnot? Maybe you did, and if so, what was the outcome?

Jeez. When you eventually become the owner of this property, beware! You could end up being just like your neighbour, if someone next to you rents and puts the bins in the front.

Think about it.

I think you are being a bit of a rebellious type. Sorry, I am glad you don't live next door to me.

I would want to eat you, for your arrogance and lack of empathy quite frankly.

But go on with your fight. It will only end up in ASBO type stuff.

Live and let live, and FGS communicate!

Melanzana - have since found out he's a troll (maybe not on this thread but he's been trolling on MSE)...pretending to me a woman filmed on a sex tape. Ignore. Explains everything.

Ah, but, when he is the owner, and not the renter, things might just change.

He will then have to present himself in person to the head of the Road Committee before exchanging to make sure all will be well, with those who must br obeyed.

The landlord needs to communicate to the tenant aswell. S/he should have pointed out the Stepford Wives community to the tenant!

Communication....again.
