OP i would really consider just picking the rubbish up and putting it in your bin without having a word because if you are as obnoxious and insulting in the flesh as you are on this thread you could be at risk of being arrested. You come across as a very angry person!

So, you would not confront people who did this?
What about the next time it happens, and the time after that?
I don't regard myself as "obnoxious and insulting" because I respect other people, but not when they act like this.
Why on earth would I be arrested?

You have to be F----g joking - your attitude stinks - it is my garden not theirs which needs cleaning up:mad:

So basically, you are on your own. You have received perfectly reasonable suggestions to your problem, namely, grow a pair and just ask them to clean it up.

As a result, you have become foul mouthed and abusive. If anyone needs to look at the way they behave it is you.

I for one am glad I don't have to put up with you as a neighbour! Good day to you!

Just hurry up and tell the OP what he wants to hear!

When I first read this thread I felt bad for the OP but after his nasty replies to those who were only providing suggestions (after he has asked for them) I really don't feel sorry for him now.

If you don't agree with peoples opinions then there no needs to write such replies as you have. Don't ask if you don't want people to reply.

Get over your hissy fit and just talk to the neighbors when they get back. Take photos if need be.

I said i would have a word with them but not 'confront' them!
The neighbours son or a guest had a few to drink and threw a half eaten bread roll over the fence into your garden.....it doesn't mean they are 'yobs' or disrepectful it just means they had a few...chances are they are nice people and would be very apologetic if or when you approach them.
In reference to the arrested comment.....you have been very irate and very insulting on here, especially to one poster who you were accusing of living in a pigsty just because they don't agree with your point of view....i also don't agree and i certainly don't live in a pigsty. It leads me and i suspect others to believe you are very confrontational and maybe threatening in person which could lead to arrest over a half eaten roll on your garden...i'm surprised the birds haven't eaten it!
I apologise if i am wrong but thats how you are coming across

I would just throw it in the bin, and if you happen to see the son just say, 'Hi pal next time you have mates over can you please ask them not to throw food over my fence, it makes a mess and is a little annoying'....

I had visions of a garden covered in food. One half eaten roll whilst not acceptable is one anti social act by one person and the hosts probably weren't aware.
The time the OP has spent insulting people on here he could have gone outside, picked it up and thrown it away many times over.
Talk about mountains and molehills .
Either wait til the neighbours return and ask them to clear up their mess or take thirty seconds and do it yourself and speak to them about it later if you prefer not to risk attracting vermin.

Totally agree Milly.

It's a minor irritation, not a massive catastrophe.

Somehow, I am not surprised that Subway has been involved again... perhaps MSE Towers should get some free stuff for all the name-checks they get on here...

But whatever else the OP decides to so, I would never advise throwing the food back over the hedge/fence. That just makes everyone involved as bad as each other.

And this is how neighbour disputes begin and escalate into an almighty problem.

Yes, it is annoying but the OP is blowing it completely out of proportion and is fast on the road to escalating the whole thing.

What has happened to plain common sense?

If the 'culprits' are no longer around then just clear it up (how could anyone leave it in this hot weather) and have a quiet word with the neighbours about what happened when they get back so they can tell their offspring to be aware of this in the future. You never know, the OP might get a letter of apology.

It is quite possible that the neighbours didn't authorise the party while they were away and their kid(s) will get a bolli**ing anyway.

No, it isn't nice but we all do stupid things when we are 'under the influence' and especially when we are young. This isn't the crime of the century.

I's throw it back over so when the parents come back they will see how unruly their beloved latchkey offspring are!

I have a really good relationship with my neighbours but the one side we had an awful relationship with them at one point.

He was always at work and she was the stay at home Mom but had three horrible boys. They were slightly older than my kids. They would lift up the fence panels to retrieve their balls rather than ask if they could have them back. Fag ends you name it were chucked over the fence. I never did catch them doing that but I am assured by my husband it wasn't him. They were nasty to my kids and tormented their younger brother blind! Oh and we wont talk about the dog.

Anyway, every time they had a barbecue they would chuck food over, so every morning I'd collect it and chuck it back. The Mother was house proud and couldn't deny the food was from their barbecue so her kids got yelled at. The fences, well a few strategically placed nails stopped them lifting the fence panels.... oh and the dog. We erected a 6ft fence between us and next door. No longer was the dog able to terrorise our visitors when they came to our door.

It was all settled without a word. Just a few carefully chosen actions. In the end, she cleared off and took the kids (and the dog) with her. Peace reigned! However, I have to say, if its only happened once OP, I think your being a bit dramatic. Why fall out with your neighbours because of one reckless occasion?
