Batty neighbour.....

[Magic_x_uk]

Woke up this morning feeling fine........

Let my dog out for morning wee wee and noticed right at the end of my garden that my fence which has a small 8" hole at the foot of it has chicken wire stapled to it from the other side.
So being a good neighbour I pushed it out.

Now this 'land' at the end of my garden on the other side has 5 old peoples bungalows built by the council.

The fence is mine, how do I know this? Well 3 years ago it was 9ft conifers which I took down and replaced with a fence which I paid for.

The old lady who lives at the one closest to me has shouted at me a year back telling me that my cats have been doing do da's on her grass.

I have 2 cats and yes it maybe them, but also everyone around here has cats so it could be any of them. I have had words with my cats and they promised not to do do da's anymore on her lawn.

Now the point really is, is this old lady and her husband allowed to staple chicken wire to my fence? Or shall I now sue her for criminal damage.

Really annoyed me this morning. ( I cut my finger too pushing the wire back through )

Sounds like your the batty one. Pets annoying your neighbours, they do something about it and block a hole in the fence and now you are complaining about it.

Lol your an idiot. Sad sad man

 

[BloodyL]

Annoying old people is sooo much fun.

 

[LOAM]

from their pov they are probably as fed up with having to clean cat **** up from their lawn as you are having to remove their wire (maybe more so). We have cats so like you understand the little beasts mean no harm ( angels in fact tbh ) but I imagine if you don't own a cat waking up to a lawn of **** every day must be quite annoying, you would probably try every thing you could to limit it.

Criminal damage ? I don't know, technically they fixed your fence, they might send you an invoice

I really hope you are kidding . . . .

Anyway, the fault is yours for not having the fence in a good state of repair.

 

[Magic_x_uk]

I am joking about sueing, god!
And I don't know if it was my cats who did something on the council owned lawn, could have been any 1 of the cats around here. The point was and is, is she allowed to even touch my fence, let alone attach things to it

 

[Magic_x_uk]

My fence is in a good state of repair, very good condition. I made the hole when I put the fence up, as it only backs onto council owned land not hers, before the fence when there was conifers you could get a person through the gap

 

[mac1st3]

lol, cause cats can't climb fences, I'll bet the neighbourhood cats grouped together to carve themselves a door at the bottom just so they could get through

As for the fence, I think even if they want to paint their side of it, they need your permission

 

[Heliospherez]

They have every right to use the chicken wire. And be thankful they don't have video evidence of your pets trespassing and causing damage to their garden. Whats to stop them kicking your cat up the backside while it's squatting down in the middle of their tea party ?

I have the same problem with dogs in my front garden and cats in our back. Every 2 days I have to lift either a cat do do or an even bigger dog do do - simply so that my son doesn't roll over one of them when he is playing. It's bloody annoying to be honest, and I have had numerous words with owners in our street - but it's a comlete waste of time. It's got to the point of me now thinking of getting 1000 bags printed up so I can lift the do do's and post them back through the owners letter boxes every 2 days. Instead - I might just lift them with a spade and drop them on the car windscreen of the owner.....same principle as his pet doing a dump on my garden anyway.


It's not nice for them - and it's you that's causing the problem - so why do you think they are the odd ones? And to your other question...it's their side of the fence for them to do what they want with....even if you paid for it and put it up. And you effectively broke the law by pushing off the chicken wire if it was on their side - council property or not.

 

[Magic_x_uk]

Pasonix, rubbish, its A) council property, not there's. B) how do they know who's cats it is,
The grass at the back of mine must be 50ft square before there property. The council come and cut there grass and in 5 years that I have lived here not once have the people who live there even ventured onto the grass, they have a little patio by there bungalow but don't use anything else.

yes I also hate cat and dog doda too.


I cant see that they are allowed to do anything they wish to fences/posts that I have paid for, maintain and erected. Especially as they rent there bungalow and do not thereselves physically maintain there home nor garden. They never maintained the conifers I had there before I removed them and replaced with fence.

If you continue your opressive regieme then you may drive your poor neighbours to depression, or even worse, suicide.

Why wouldn't you leave the small blockage in place? Do you need to allow your animals to roam? Why not be a good neighbour and contain your own pests.

 

[Cosimo]

I have had words with my cats and they promised not to do do da's anymore on her lawn.

My cats told me to **** off when I asked them not to go next door.

If I were a neighbour I would block the hole and if you removed it I would come over and ask you to fix your fence. This is how neighbour wars start. Why don’t you just leave the chicken wire in place and put this to rest.

 

[4Play]

Was the chicken wire on there side of the fence or yours ? If its on there side and you took it down its you that should be worried buddy ,

I have had words with my cats and they promised not to do do da's anymore on her lawn.

This line sums up your attitude in my book. A totally dismissive attitude of a very annoying thing upsetting them. They have every right to be annoyed with your or anyone else's animals crapping on their home.

 

[Bubo]

I'm more worried about the chickens.

LOL!

It's a CAT, wtf can you do about it?

Deary me.

I've seen Cats in some strange places but I've Never seen one climb on top of a house to crap before.
This is a Joke & so is your Post !!!


OP.
Putting a fence up does Not make it yours so Check the deeds.
Either way stop being an arse & find an agreeable compromise that suits you both.

Malc30 it does indeed make it my fence as it is on my deeds. I pay a mortgage for my home not rent like those behind me.

The fence is on my land. Owned by me, maintained by me. It also is 100% legally mine and by law you must ask the landowner permission to paint, hang etc anything onto that fence.

 

[hyperzed]

No point fighting this, old people always win in these situations simply because while you're at work they will be sat there fixing more chicken wire, and probably hatching other plans.
My old neighbour used to throw dead birds over my fence, caught her doing it once. I threw it back, it then returned. This went on until it finally fell apart in a mass of feathers on my lawn. Poor thing clocked up more air miles dead than alive.
