Hypocritical neighbours

Wrong, wrong, wrong! You are NOT a grinch, they are hypocritical idiots!

No. They're hypocrites and idiots.

The world seems peopled by idiots.The new neighbour across from us was complaining about social distancing not being adhered to in shops .Today he had a barbeque with 6 or 7 friends .I wouldn't have known except I was in the garden when they arrived

similar here. Very loud clapping from 2 people, who travelled 90 miles to see each other. They just don`t get it

Yep same here. I've stopped clapping outside because my poor little old dog is terrified of the fireworks going off every Thursday. Clap indoors now

So wrong not only are they putting their lives at risk but lots of others too. It just feels like some people don’t care that’s why we still have large numbers dying!

We have neighbours like that too, another house full today and I expect they will stay until Sunday night, as usual.

craftyone, I've come to the sad conclusion that it's not really that they 'don't get it'.

They do understand the rules but they're just not willing to comply. A lot appear to obey them - when they think somebody might be watching.

They won't change unless (or until) they lose a loved one.

Agree with Hetty58 They just want to ignore it, turn a blind eye so to speak, being very ignorant

You are probably right Hetty, sad though it is. He has a big posh car that was always in his garage, when she comes over, her little car is hidden in the garage and his is on the drive.

My neighbours are all outside, in groups, for VE Day. Children all playing together. I put balloons out to show willing, but it’s ridiculous. I wonder how many people will get C19 today?

Our idiot neighbours currently have their two adult daughters and their families over - and they clap for NHS and care workers (she works with vulnerable children - I hope to goodness she’s on some kind of working from home role and not out infecting these children).

Gagajo I'm also intrigued as to how gathering for VE celebrations is allowed.

I thought that you could only "gather" with those with whom you live on your own premises and gathering on the street is not allowed, even if 2m away from others.

Streetparties etc all over the telly and no finger - wagging from anyone. Why? Am I missing something?

It is breaking down just walked the dog in the park 8 20 year olds came altogether and started kicking a ball. On the way home 15 or do teenagers riding electric scooters all across from pavement and road. Making use of few cars about.

Karaoke outside in my street; something I hate at the best of times. Most of my neighbours are very high risk but are mixing with people that have a constant stream of visitors to their house. It reminds me of that celebration they had at the height of the Spanish flu epidemic [not sure which country; may have been America] that resulted in thousands of deaths. It was allowed because it would 'cheer people up'.

Think it’s the case if they complain about others not social distancing etc, but something in their brain feels it’s not applicable to them and would probably be up in arms if you challenged. Unbelievable that then these same people go out and clap ??♥️

People sat in a large group on the big green outside my flats and children playing cricket on the green because of VE Day yesterday. We observed the 11am silence but nothing else. We could hear someone play the last post on a bugle from an adjoining street in the morning, that was very moving and much more appropriate than the stupid gatherings.

My next door neighbours adult children have been coming and going as they fancy as have their friends. Our rear gardens are small and they have had at least 7 asround for a BBQ.

This sort of behaviour makes me fume. My children and DIL are Doctors dealing with Covid-19
I think your neighbours are selfish pigs. Why should my family endanger their lives for these stupid people. It makes me despair.
Our stupid neighbours are the same as yours. Ugh

There was a celebration . I didn't go and no doubt will be thought of as a party pooper . I don't care I suffer from chest infections and I am not risking it plus it is against the law.

You know what to do- REPORT THEM!!!! Or we are going to continue to have large numbers dying!!! And if i was stood outside when any of these idiots were there id have had to say something.Either say it yourself to them,or if you stay stum just report them on the qt.

There are those who do and those who don't. Those who know the rules and follow them and this who know them but think they apply to everyone else. Since the beginning of lockdown I have felt the penalties are absolutely pathetic. £30, can be less than a parking fine. Spain in the past couple of days allowed people out to exercise, the fine for abusing this one part of the rules - €1000. Our rules are worthless.

I can totally relate... my neighbour is in and out all day in the car, even takes the dog for a walk in the car! Has her friend over most evenings, but on Facebook she berates people for gathering in the park... oh and she works for the NHS!!

One simple solution, report your neighbours to the police, if they are not abiding to the rules.
