‘My neighbour’s daughter is so lazy that it kicked off on bin day’ | Weird | News

A woman was left baffled after her neighbour asked her to put their bin out while they were away.

The dispute began when the woman next door revealed her daughter, who appears to be in her late 20s, was too “lazy” to do it herself. The neighbour explained it was on her to-do list, but she had not got around to it due to being busy.

She forgot, and her husband was also away for work, so he couldn’t remind her to put the bin out either. She wrote on Mumsnet: “Anyway, I saw the bin sitting outside her house on the morning of bin day, so I jumped in the car and went to work.”

Upon the neighbour’s return from her holiday, she was met with fury over the fact that her bin had not been put out.

She continued: “When she came back from holiday, she turned up on my doorstep, furious that her bin hadn’t been put out. Turned out it was the neighbour’s bin positioned in front of her house.”

The original poster explained she “dialled off a work call to answer the door” to her, and consequently “saw red” and ended up rowing with her neighbour.

“I asked why her jobless daughter had a problem putting the bins out when she was sitting in the house,” she said, which caused the woman to “storm off”, and she hadn’t “seen her since”.

She concluded her Mumsnet post by asking: “To be honest, I do feel a bit bad but there was a bin outside the house, unmarked with no house number.

“Was I to rifle through the bins for signs it was hers? Go to the door at 7am to ask the daughter if it was her bin?

“Enter her property to check on her bins? Why can’t people just do simple tasks?”

Among the responses, one user praised her stance: “Good for you. It’s a bloody cheek asking you in the first place when she has an adult child living in the house.

“I’d have said the same. She was probably moaning to her daughter that you hadn’t taken out the bins.”

Another commenter labelled the relatives “cheeky f******” and accused them of behaving in an “entitled” manner. An exasperated Mumsnet user declared: “It’s her fault for letting the daughter get away with it.”
