What do you do when an antisocial neighbour performs his deeds out of the sight and hearing of others except you? Authorities say you must have evidence. Not legal to film him. He is on his own property so nothing you can do.

Worthit has not returned to this thread as it wasn't anticipated to be the but of a load of jokes.

To be fair, it was nearly a day before the jokes arrived. Which is quite restrained in gransnetland.

And there were some serious replies before that.

Would you care to answer some of them?

I am not sure though that we will be able to help you that much, as leagle eagles seem to be in short supply on this site.

As soontobe says, you were indeed asked what he was up to? I don't think you have been treated as the butt of any jokes, mere speculation in the absence of further information or any facts. hmm

What do you do? Well, if you are telling someone about it and asking their advice, you do first have to tell them a little more than that he is being antisocial.

No-one knows whether he is smoking the occasional weed behind the shed or holding naked Satanic orgies, so of course they speculate and make jokes - which are about the antisocial neighbour, not about you (apart from the reference to the old joke about the spinster who complained that she could see everything her young neighbours did in their bedroom - on further investigation it was found that the view could only be achieved by someone sitting on top of the wardrobe)

And if it takes you nearly a week to come back to the thread, it is not surprising that others have posted replies to the jokes in your absence.
