If I had been driving that car and she told me to turn it down she would have gotten a right mouthful off me before I doubled the volume

So my next door neighbours had stinky wheelie bins. One day I couldnt take it anymore. After the bin men had been I got a huge bucket of hot water and little bit of bleach and put it in their wheelie bin. Scrubbed it out with the brush I use for my bins and emptied it out and rinsed it with my hose. I was doing mine anyway so I thought I may as well. I didn't even think they would notice because I thought they were at work.
Later that day I get a knock on the door and it is Mr. NextDoor. He says Mrs. NextDoor had been crying all morning because I had embarrassed her by cleaning her bins. He said that the fact that I sweep my path everyday and wash my front door and door step and bin every week was ridiculous and I was clearly doing it to show up my neighbours! And that cleaning someone else's bins was harassment!
Some people I tell this story to are completely on their side. I was actually trying to save them embarrassment! I didn't want to knock on their door and tell them to clean their stinking bins. I just wanted to be able to walk out of my house without smelling their manky bins
what do you all think?

bins smell awful and it's not exactly a fun job to scrub out a wheely bin!Who the duck has time to “compete” and “show up” their neighbours. She needs to get a grip and clean her manky bin herself or say thank you
Exactly! I just like my front to be nice and tidy! I dont care what anyone else is doing
I just like clean air

Any time
I'll bring my special brushSome people sound too precious. Like I get she might of felt embarrassed about it but I think if it was me and I felt embarrassed I would say thank you first and say I am sorry my bins stink so badly but thank you for going out of your way to be neighbourly. Maybe that is just me!Any time
I can relate to this. My neighbour used to rudely hang her plastics recycling bag on my wrought iron fence through the week, complete with all their stinking meat trays that they couldn't be bothered to wash out properly. You could see flies and bits of festering meat in the summerSo my next door neighbours had stinky wheelie bins. One day I couldnt take it anymore.

I don't hang anything on my fence so no idea why they started doing it, they had a place for their own bag. Then on bin day she'd hang the bag on my fence at the end of my driveway, causing all the plastic to be blown everywhere and spill out. My driveway is nowhere near their house, no logic for her doing it. Just as I was ready to lose my tit she stopped doing it... must have seen the look on my face one day 
The thing is though, in many houses the walls are far too thin. Some people really cannot tolerate other people‘s noise, especially loud music. Music travels very well through walls, almost too well.
What is your neighbour like ordinarily? Maybe he is just sensitive to louder noise, but otherwise a nice chap.
My neighbours are friends with their landlord.my neighbours have also been having parties until about 3 am
the funny thing is tho, my neighbour is the son of my landlord
I say landlord but he isn’t even registered.
His friends pay his mortgage while he lives in another country. He doesn’t care at all, his mortgage is being paid.
Our neighbours are awful, the guy is also creepy and will stand at his window watching me speak to the other neighbours, who does that?!
I’ve had neighbours that complained about every floorboard creak after 10pm but would randomly have parties with loud music and banging until 4 am!
well if he’s so sensitive to music to the point of running outside when a car pulls up on the street with music playing and runs out to tell them off he should consider living in rural countryside? So I’m not allowed to play music at all because he doesn’t like it? Never seen them or met them otherwise, we moved in a couple of months ago, not exactly the way I’d behave towards new neighbours if someone just moved in!
I don’t mind my neighbours playing music at all - it’s when it’s still playing full blast at 11pm, 12am, 1am on a night. I have music on during the day, sometimes I turn it up but never to the point where I think next door could hear it. Some people can be busy body’s but for me, it’s affecting my mental health so much so that I now dread going to bed incase I have to listen to their music well into the night.
My nightmare neighbours strike again...I missed a parcel the other day which they have taken in. I’ve knocked on three times, all three times they had their blinds open and saw me walk up their garden but they haven’t answered the door...they’re holding my parcel hostage!
I don’t even know what it is, I think it may be a gift as I’m not expecting anything so I can’t even contact the company it came from. I’m about to go and knock on again but my anxiety is through the roof, what do I even do?! JUST GIVE ME MY tit

that’s against the law surely to withhold people’s mail. Contact the police
I thought with Covid, parcels couldn’t be delivered to neighbours? I put a note on the front door saying please leave parcels in porch and 9 times out of 10 it works.
Exactly! I just like my front to be nice and tidy! I dont care what anyone else is doing
I don't know what company the parcel was from, but the delivery people that seem to come to my building are CONSTANTLY delivering to the wrong people, the delivered 2 parcels to my neighbour, one was for him, one was for me, seemingly didn't notice the different address on it... luckily my neighbours are okay and they rang to give it to us
Nope, Royal Mail are still allowing neighbours to take parcels in. I’ve had a few for other neighbours too. I’m terraced so haven’t got that option unfortunately
