Neighbour skip on my front lawn

oh_really

dagsky1 sai

 i felt the neighbour was unduly aggressive & acted in a threatening manner by constantly trying to approach me with their finger jabbing in my direction whilst i kept stepping backward.

A guy done this to a mate many years ago, mate invited him to do it again then bit his finger - comedy moment.

Have you got any rubbish to get rid of?

fill it up yourself and then invite others to do the same within family members overnight

I’d stick a hose in it and fill it to the top with water.

lol! In all probability it would end up sitting on my lawn as according to the council help page they don't get involved if it's not on the public road & if it's considered fly tipping then it's on me to get it removed at my cost and then pursue the culprit through the courts.

Drag it into the road

Assuming this was done in your absence, how did you know which neighbour to approach? Assume aggressive neighbour did admit it was theirs?

Yes aggresive neighbour admitted it was theirs, says it will be gone by wednesday, additionally they're traversing up & down dumping stuff in it. Reported to the plod after thinking about it as i felt the neighbour was unduly aggressive & acted in a threatening manner by constantly trying to approach me with their finger jabbing in my direction whilst i kept stepping backward. They will come round tomorrow apparently

Well that one phone call has probably wiped 1000s off the price of your home.

I can’t believe the brass neck of some people! I’d be furious as well. I would have rung round all the local skip companies first I think, or put a shout out to anyone I knew inviting them to put their rubbish in it. I don’t think I’d have remained calm with him so well done you.

Check local skip hire companies on the t'interweb and call them.  There aren't normally a huge number unless you live in a large city.

A similar situation, but not as severe, happened to me many years ago.  I drove home from work, turned into the driveway and had to stop rather faster than I expected because there was a moped on the drive.  I went into the house, assuming we had a visitor, but we didn't.  I waited outside until the owner came for it, and they explained they thought it was safer to park it there than on the road whilst they went shopping!  They did understand, after my forthright explanation, that it would not be advisable to do it again.
