Guest annoyed Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 I started noticing our next door neighbor's rubbish especially the annoying plastic packaging got blown into my property by winds and stuck in between plants as a result of their overflowing garbage bin. This lasted for a few months and eventually I had had enough so I am considering the following actions in order of preference: 1. Take photos and write a letter to them, is it too dramatic? 2. Knock on their door and talk to them? Thank you in advance if I don't reply for your comments or advises. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2021 Report Share Posted July 28, 2021 Talk to them. If they do not listen, then complain to the authority. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behrhunter Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I had a similar situation except that mine was rubbish openly put in the corridor until it spills over to my side and main door. I tried talking to them but the old auntie just scolded me for being 'ba dao' and selfish. I still smile to them, no point getting yourself angry. I will just take pictures cos recently there has been dengue cases and officers have been making rounds to ask me to remove 'my rubbish' from the common corridor which i had nothing apart from 2 pairs of slipper for going to the market. I do take pictures on a sequential basis just in case the i get into trouble with those officers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest annoyed Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 Just an update that I chose the first option wrote a very polite letter with photos of their rubbish attached, provided my email in case they want to respond. And the next day they sent me a well-composed email profusely apologized for the inconvenience that I had to pick their rubbish up and will make sure it doesn't happen again but also not happy/dramatic that I chose option 1 instead of 2 - it's their problem as I hardly talk to neighbors. It's in their onus this is something they can control or prevent in the first place. Anyway thanks to those who commented. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These days with so many inconsiderate idiots, you need to take photos that's will send the message to them that you have the photos to support your complain to the authority against the offender(s).
