        Tell me if I'm overthinking this or whether you think it's bad form.

        I get on fairly well with the next door neighbour, he's one of those types that asks for lots of favours. Loan of my van to go to the dump, help with felting a shed, loan of all types of tools, a lift in with heavy stuff etc. Basically I've done him loads of turns and have never asked for one in return.

        Anyway, our house is an L shape and the side of his house is inside my driveway/garden.

        Heard a lot of drilling the other evening and didn't think much of it.

        Discovered then that he had someone install an outdoor socket, in my garden. Basically on my property, although fixed to the side of his house.

        Now, I don't have a problem with it being there, other than whenever something is plugged into it it could be a trip hazard for us, but that's minor.
        Also, we were thinking of installing gates, possibly electric, at some point in the future and if we do it would mean he would have to ask us for access to the sockets.


        What I'm taking issue with is the fact he didn't bother to knock in and tell me about it, or ask me.

        What you think, am I overreacting?

              Just a heads up for anyone playing the Stars tournament today. The sponsored Pro's all have 20k bounties on their heads so you knock one of them out you pocket 20k.

                Hikaru stream is a good one to add to the flicking channels for the matches and he gives good insight too being a high-level GM

                  Don't think so. Bigger question is what is your reaction going to be?

                  You best plays are probably do nothing or tell them that you were disappointed you weren't consulted beforehand, pointing out the practical reason why (placement decision, can you use it?, their access for use, etc.)

                  I'd be leaning toward the latter to put down a clear marker. If they take it the wrong way fook them and commission the nuclear warheads.

                    I think I'll just suck it up for a simple life and to avoid awkwardness, in a typical Irish way.

                    I genuinely don't have an issue with it being there. I'll get the fucker back some other sneaky way to satisfy myself.

                      Apologies, I didn't realise passing on such important, potentially life-saving, advice would be a bad thing. I was just thinking of the people here with kids. I don't have any myself, but I mistakenly thought the kids of IPB were as worthy of protection as the small number of carefully curated random poker punters we all have as Facebook friends. I realise now the error in my ways and I beg everyone for forgiveness. I can't promise to try to do better in future, but I promise to try and try.

                            Kids wearing mask might be a rare lesson for todays kids that you can’t always get what you want and sometimes you have to do things you don’t like for the greater good.

                            not a lesson they will be getting off their batshit insane social media addled parents. I think kids should be muzzled to stop them speaking in more situations even outside pandemics eg on planes and in resteraunts(that one might need some more thought)

                            Will you ever fuck off with that shite... you are easily one of the worst posters on here for this-Pokerhand

                              Do some garden DIY and utilise the new communal socket. Might be handy when putting the gates in .

                              There is a thin line between being a pushover and a quiet life. If it occupies your night time rest , say something. If not , leave it.

                                  Where can one find details on the stars tournament today? Day on the couch here , might jump in.

                                  Their website is as confusing as trying to navigate your way out of a casino.
                                  This may or may not be an original thought of my own.
                                  All efforts were made to make this thought original but with the abundance of thoughts in the world the originality of this thought cannot be guaranteed.

                                      First bolded bit is unpossible I'm guessing that the side of his house is the boundary there is no fence that prevents him coming on to your property to access the socket. What is for instance you got a dog and wanted to fence it in but he says no you can't do that I've established a right of way to access my socket.. or whatever. The point is these things can easily get messy and echo down the years to future owners / tenants and can even effect your ability to sell, what looks trivial to you or me can become very complex and expensive when the legal eagles get involved.
                                      Good fences make good neighbours and protect your boundaries are good time honoured rules of thumb.

                                      IMO he's either just thoughtless and careless or an prick who decided it was better to build first and ask permission later, either way he can GTFO.

                                          As a parent of 2 kids I’m onboard with this muzzle idea. If you think they are annoying in restaurants you should try watching paw patrol at half 5 in the morning to keep them quite.

                                              just from personal experience, my own and extended family's children don't really have an issue with being ninjas, quite the opposite in fact.
                                              What I have noticed is if the parent is anxious about the mask wearing, it implants itself very quickly on the child.
                                              Which is kinda ironic when one of the main arguments is about effecting learned behaviour

                                                  I probably explained the layout poorly. My house is L shaped, his is rectangular. Both houses join on the short end of the L. Where that full stop is. The back of his house begins at that full stop, level with mine and extends out (downwards when looking at that L) The extended bit makes up the side of my driveway and garden.

                                                  A bit like someone extending out 30' on a semi D then fixing an outdoor socket on the neighbours side of the extension.

                                                  I assume I own the exterior of that wall while he owns the interior. Why would he automatically gain a right of way just by installing that socket? Surely if the day came I could just refuse access.
                                                  I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

                                                        Which is kinda ironic when one of the main arguments is about effecting learned behaviour

Where that full stop is. The back of his house begins at that full stop, level with mine and extends out (downwards when looking at that L) The extended bit makes up the side of my driveway and garden.

                                                          I'd ever assume anything about land and boundaries without something watertight in law.

                                                                      I had to come in half a foot for my extension and I think that would give me the right to do something like that. But having to use my neighbours property to use said plug is not a position I would put my neighbor in.

                                                                      Also. I know you said you heard the drilling and thought nothing of it. How did you not realise there was a chap in your garden working away!!

                                                                                      What if you decide to plant something along that wall, what if your kids start playing with it and do damage to themselves or it. You are in a minefield now and need to be careful. Doesn't matter whether your neighbour is sound or a cunt ye have to be communicating clearly about stuff that affects you both and IMO there is no way that doing that without talking to you is at all acceptable. Now that it is there you should consider your next move carefully but I thinking saying and doing nothing should make up like 1% of your range.

                                                                                      Any chance he spoke to your missus? I'm not seeing how anyone could think that's ok.

                                                                                                What if you decide to plant something along that wall, what if your kids start playing with it and do damage to themselves or it. You are in a minefield now and need to be careful. Doesn't matter whether your neighbour is sound or a cunt ye have to be communicating clearly about stuff that affects you both and IMO there is no way that doing that without talking to you is at all acceptable. Now that it is there you should consider your next move carefully but I thinking saying and doing nothing should make up like 1% of your range.

                                                                                                Any chance he spoke to your missus? I'm not seeing how anyone could think that's ok.

                                                                                                I am going to talk to him about it.

                                                                                                              Willie hit the nail on the head earlier, there's a fine line between wanting a relaxed life and a good relationship and not wanting to be seen as a soft touch.

                                                                                                              I think I can talk to him in such a way that covers both.

                                                                                                                Nip it now.
