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?I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

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.Happiness is not a goal; it is a by-product. ~Eleanor Roosevelt

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

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.

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
People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

I'd 100% remove it. Knock in and tell him to move it first then if he doesn't do it yourself.People say I should be more humble I hope they understand, they don't listen when you mumble

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

Click on "the big 20" button in the lobby (I'm playing on phone) and the sats etc pop up. Over 40k in so far

There is a lad with a couple of odd scraps of land near me and farms them very badly, I was asking a local farmer about him and it turns out he if farming about 60 acres of land he's basically taken possession of through squatting.Attached FilesTurning millions into thousands

Conor what the fuck. He's clearly out of line and you'd want to pull him up on it. Sounds like he thinks you're a bit of a soft touch to be honest.
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!!
Get in to him early tomorrow dude.

I am going to talk to him about it. I want it locked or else powered off from the inside. Been thinking more about the safety aspect of it. My driveway is quite open, if a kid jammed a screwdriver into it and got hurt for instance, who's to blame?I hold silver in tit for tat, and I love you for that

Don't get why he's ever want to put a socket there, as I read it there is no way for him to use it without coming onto your property , and I suppose he had to come into your driveway to install it
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.Turning millions into thousands

Admittedly i'm after a couple scoops and must read back tomorrow but:
A good relationship with a neighbour is EV+
Many don't realise the value of good neighbours. Obviously if you feel agrieved you need to raise it but if any way trivial you need to weigh up the benefits/negatives IMO.

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.
