'ENTITLED NEIGHBOUR ASKED ME TO PUT HER BIN OUT – IT KICKED OFF WHEN I DIDN'T'

If you're able to and your neighbour is reasonable, if they ask you to do something for them, the likelihood is that you'll do it.

One woman was left miffed, however, when her neighbour asked whether she'd be able to put their bin out while they were away, because their daughter, who looks to be in her late 20s, was "lazy" and wouldn't do it.

Initially a little miffed, the woman explained that she'd add it to her to-do list, but shared that she was really busy and her husband was working away, so could "have a quick check" that it had gone out in the morning.

"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", she penned on Mumsnet.

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 that she'd "dialled off a work call to answer the door" to her, and as a result, she "saw red" and went mad.

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

She finished the post by writing: "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?"

In the comments, someone wrote: "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 dubbed the family as "cheeky f**kers", saying that they were "entitled". "It's her fault for letting the daughter get away with it", a Mumsnetter fumed.
