Also an example of people blindly coping each other.

I moved earlier last month. Our neighbours from hell kept parking on our drive amongst other annoyances. It was a rental, nice enough but too small with poor heating so we were looking to move anyway.

We had one car they had three. The drive could fit two neatly parked cars. An alien concept to these people (when using other peoples spots) so it was a major annoyance if we needed to use our own drive or had a friend over.

On move day I placed our dustbins & recycle bins on the drive to save our space, I would have heard anyone moving them. I placed them in quite a weird arrangement and not very visible to the rest of the street just because of the angle of the house and the garden also as they were not placed close to the edge of the property. This wasn’t deliberate just thinking about the placement in retrospect.

Rubbish/Trash is collected on a Monday, this was a Thursday.

Two of these neighbours and their kid arrive home, look over at our drive all confused. Next thing the mum is placing out their bins - but on the edge of the property as if it was collection day.

I didn’t bother to acknowledge them or let them know not to bother, or even that we were moving.

The van arrives, I bring in my bins. We head off to the new property I don’t see any other neighbours have copied. We come back for our second trip. Neighbours bins are still there and Two other neighbours (young families in this area) have copied them. This at first took the edge of my satisfaction but then I thought they will be likely be cursing my neighbour from hell not me.

I’m guessing they noticed the van but wanted to save face and then argued too long about who would go grab them.
