People who don't bother to return trolleys in a supermarket carpark. And to add insult to injury, a gobshite got out of her car and pushed the loose trolley towards my car. 🙄

My bleeping asshole neighbours. One of them is permanently stoned, has the loudest most horrible voice you've ever heard (to the extent that I need to put my headphones in if she's out talking to someone in the street) who blasts her music loud every day, sometimes loud enough to shake our adjoining wall. I wrote to the council anonymously, then she sent a pissy Whatsapp around the neighbours saying she'd prefer it if we just spoke to her, but I don't think she would - she must know her music is bothering other people, she's just counting on us being too awkward to say anything.

The others are a young couple who are always nice to my face but do crappy things. We have a communal garden, where everyone has taken over a space of their own, but this couple put up a perimeter 5 foot fence around their bit. But they continued to use the bit outside my windows as a communal area! They take a short cut through there all the time to get to the road, rather than just leaving via the garden gate and walking around the garden. I've asked them time and time again not to do it, but they still do. I've written to the council, who wrote to them, but they still do it. And there's really nothing more I can do. I've put a load of garden furniture up to block the pathway, but they just move it and walk through. It makes me feel so tit and violated. The path goes right by my bedroom window, so I hate hearing them and their friends walking past at night, it scares me to hear male voices outside my window (and I was robbed recently). Now they have slowly moved all the bins of the flats over to the part of the garden right in front of my front window. They gave themselves this cute pristine front lawn, and moved their bin right in front of my window!!

Last night they'd left their bin out in the street, so I brought it back inside the front garden and put it on their lawn, where it used to go. Today I got home to find it had been chucked on the lawn in front of my flat and was lying on its side! I can't believe this! Why do they think it's ok to give me all the tit bits of living here? I don't like having rows with them, I don't like writing to the council - I'm not some grumpy curtain-twitcher, I just don't feel comfortable accepting the brunt of other people's bad behaviour. It feels like they think of me as someone lesser, who just can be dumped on and that's ok because I'm not worth a nice view or a private flower bed?

I hate having arguments with them, especially since they're so nice to my face, but I just feel so unhappy now that I see their bin dumped on my yard. Everyone else on the street has their bin in front of their flat, but I have all 4 of our bins right in front of mine!

I think you’re too nice and so people are taking advantage of you unfortunately.

I became really poorly with my mental health with our old next door neighbour- it was awful. Your home is meant to be your sanctuary! Stop doing people favours like taking their washing in and moving their bins. They don’t deserve your acts of kindness - I’m so cross on your behalf.

do you own or rent? I’d move - we own and I had to move with the last hole neighbour and his utterly ridiculous house project - which 3 years later he is still doing! Worth every penny!

There is but they also require you to have a C/5/level 2 in Maths. Unfortunately I don't think there is a way around it.

Im annoyed as I was called a spoilt child for being upset about not getting what I wanted. The fact is I have dyscalculia I'm terrible at maths, but I revised for ages even at the expense of quality time with my child, same for college and university. And all the work experience i have done related to nursing, Covid messed it up the first time aswell so I have a justification for being heartbroken over this.

I don't understand why the university don't look at my access grades, my 2:1 in a health related degree, my passion and dedication, my past work experience, my nursing maths module and make a judgement based on that but ultimately I think its not up to them and courses are over subssubscribed.
It’s sounds like you would make a great nurse. If you have a formal diagnosis of dyscalculia this should be taken in to account.
Don’t give up until you’ve explored every avenue.

We're all council tenants. I've never taken in their washing, I think that was a story from someone else (although I am the wallet holder from previous pages). I don't know what more to do though - I'm not necessarily being a doormat when I've asked them a million times not to do something, then asked the council, who have talked to them and they're STILL doing it. I agree that I'm too nice in a way, but I don't know how they sense that or what more I can do if I move their bin and they move it back, and I talk to them and they say "Ok, sorry" then keep doing the exact same thing 😕

My aunt is a bit of a batshit banshee and flies out her front door to shout at people when they’re doing something she doesn’t like (kids drawing on the garage). It’s effective 🤣 sorry I got you confused! You’re both too nice for some people!!

People who swear in front of kids… more importantly parents who swear in front of their kids.
I was at the soft play earlier in the week and there were two parents chatting to each other, talking about the kids:
P1: he starts nursery soon but he ain’t talking proper yet, he just tells people to duck off
P2: haaa, that’s what mine says, she says duck it, she says it in context!
what is so funny about this? Your child can’t string a sentence together but can tell people to duck off, and yours says duck it? How about not using that kind of language in front of them and actually talking to them in sentences to improve their language skills on the whole? Tossers.

"Message me offers" on vinted. So send an offer of £1 less than their asking. *declined*.

Don't say you'll accept offers if you won't 🤓.
I know it's only £1 but makes me feel better getting things a little cheaper

Stupid over the road neighbours area massive chavs that have visitors all day long, everyone plays loud thumping music and drives so fast down the road. Their house is huge and there’s at least 5 people living there, not counting the endless guests in random cars. Sick of hearing loud music all hours of the day. One guest actually blocked my drive off earlier this year, when I told her not to do it again she pulled face at me as if I was in the wrong 🤣🤣🤣. I wish people were more considerate. Your music doesn’t need to be full blast

Update: I sent the stoned woman a very nice message saying that usually people have their bins in their own bit of garden so I'm not sure how I ended up with all the bins [laugh emoji] and oooh, she's defensive. She said she did move her bin there but "the bins can go where they want" (as if the bin wants to exercise its free will to be there) and she's pretending she doesn't know what I mean because she's saying they're not "right in front of my window" because they're not literally touching the front wall. She keeps repeating that she doesn't know what I mean because she can literally see that they're not "right outside my window". witch.

The horrible thing is, she's crazy enough to get REALLY nasty if I ask her to move the bin, so I don't even want to do that.

Sounds like a nasty piece of work. Don’t think you should back down though. If it were me I’d put something else underneath the window so there’s no space for anyone’s bin

AFAIK she was evicted from another council flat for being a problem, but because she's a vulnerable adult, they just had to house her again, so now she lives next to me :mad:

I also have dyscalculia. I'm not a nurse but I work in a medical adjacent area that requires a good bit of numeracy. There are plenty of supports in third level now.
Always worth exploring every avenue and not being put off 😉
