Neighbourhood Etiquette

[urquattro]

We started taking in parcels for some new neighbours, at first it was only occasionally and then after a few months it ramped up to weekly on the same day. Eventually our front door came off the hinges at around 5am and about 30 bizzies stormed in did I realise what was going on.

Dog poo is big issues in neighbourhoods but I’ll tell you what’s worse, cats. Cats need to stick to their own property and stop trespassing the little tits.

Yeah they can be a pain but even worse is everyone who buys an el cheapo sonic deterent for their garden online. Walking about the street and I swear to god Bill Gates is trying to communicate with me until I notice someone has one spiked into their lawn

There is a growing problem with daytime and night time vermin in the area, turns out everyone knows who is responsible, some pillock has taken it upon himself to be feeding the urban foxes, and even when the foxes aint around the foods being ate. It doesn't help that there's a shut in a few doors away that wont deal with either their front or back garden, so there's a ton of cover, ready food, and a lack of natural predators (cats), so now people are noticing a growing problem, some poor schmo that works on cruise ships so aint here all that much had to rip up all the decking that covered his back yard, there was 'kin hundreds of em. And now there's a ton of rules on poisoning because bait has to be covered to stop birds getting at it. I've a few traps here n there, if I kill a few I may post them to him. The massive 'kin prick!

As a postman, the best reply I ever had to the question "will you take a parcel for your neighbour?", was " No, I don't like him ". Short and to the point, made me laugh.

A few years ago we had a neighbour who was a pole dance.. Washday was quite a tourist attraction round our way.

This rarely is an option that comes into play in Switzerland - live in a small village and I've never been asked to hold a package for a neighbor or for one to hold mine. More & more, delivery companies contact you by SMS and try to confirm if they can leave it by the door, redeliver or pick up at post office (now there are self service lockers to recover deliveries).

I was warming down from my run the other day, a binman was walking near me and looked at me so I said 'hiya'. He completely ignored me and looked behind himself lol lol

Haven't got time to walk over them. Running is the order of the day.

My neighbours are sound, always have cushions on the sofa in their garden, their XL bully roaming free keeps the scruffs away , and they even make sure to stack up all their empty tinnies and bottles in one corner of the garden and they don’t mind sharing the smell of the skunk they are smoking all day…. Great couple to be fair

Doesn't happen often round our way. I'm mid to late 50s (cant remember exactly ... and it prob would have been quicker to work it out than typr this), the female a little younger and we bring the average age of the neighbourhood down to around 80. Ergo most people are at home for their own deliveries.

I built a parcel chute into the garage wall right by the front door, which will take most medium sized boxes. Most delivery folks commentvwhen I see them and ask "why doesn't everybody have them?" I dunno.

Doesn't stop the amazon man leaving stuff on the doorstep for me to stand on though.
