My p**** neighbours again.

I spent most of my Sunday afternoon rodding the shared sewer, which was backed up with what must have been a dozen packs of wet wipes and a good couple of weeks worth of excrement.

The drain in the alleyway, which must be approx 2½' x 1½' and maybe 2' deep was full to the brim - and I don't mean with shitty water with a few floaters, I mean with a solid brown mass that I most likely could have stood on.

It took me 5 full buckets of water, 45 minutes of running the hose directly into the drain and a lot of rodding to clear it to a point where all the **** was gone - and even then I had to get down INTO the drain with a trowl and SCOOP out wads of wet wipes.

Yet when I knock on their door to politely ask them to not flush wet wipes down the drain I get a mouthful of abuse and a lot of "not my ****ing problem mayte". :eh:

Pretty much sums up some people - she'd rather literally get to the point where excrement is backing up her drains and **** is flowing along our alleyway, and presumably back up her downstairs toilet - rather than accept she's wrong and she needs to do something to stop the issue.

I'm tempted to stuff a wad of wet wipes straight up her soil stack (not a euphemism) so that only hers blocks and not mine. I'm getting fed up of having to rod the sewer every 6 months or so.

Sendo, if there is a next time then find a way to pump the **** through her letterbox. She will need more than wet wipes then.

Could they have come from 'further up the line', sendô?
Anyone that believes that they can put wet wipes down the loo, even if they claim to be 'flushable', is a c**t of the highest order.
Apart from toilet paper, nothing should go down there unless it's the result of what you've already eaten or drunk.
Some people treat toilets like dustbins or waste disposal units. They're really not.

No, aside from the fact that I've rodded my drains so many times now over the years I'm a ****ing expert on the local sewers, the blockage in this case is not in the sewer that flows along the front from property to property, it's the sewer that goes up the shared alleyway between mine and next doors house.

The way the sewer connections are laid out, the pipe that comes from my stack is next to the flow away into the main sewer, so I could just clear half of it, and leave the wads of wipes blocking the stacks from their house.

Or I could scoop all the wipes out and dump them on their doorstep.

Something to look forward to in the summer. :thdn:

Sadly gents, the World is full of "I'm alright Jack, everyone owes me a living" f**ktards.

More than a little thing that irritates me I'm afraid.

there was a thread on here some time ago, with some posters insisting it was their right to flush whatever ***** they liked in the loo and drains. cos they pay taxes you know?

Sendo, proper c**** they be, suggest you place the ***** stained wet wipes back through their letterbox about 3am in the morning and make sure no CCTV is about.

Exactly what is needed, an escalation in tension between neighbours. Had that once, did not end well. I couln't give a f**K, but my wife started to worry and in the end we had to move away as it was too much for her. Lucky we were only renting, so it was quite easy, but I don't know what would have happened if we had bought the place.

Do be aware that if/when you come to sell the place, one of the questions on a buyer's solicitor's form is "have there been any disputes with a neighbour?"

.
In Greece there are signs on toilets asking you not to flush toilet paper down there.
Never mind toilet paper, wet wipes, condoms, tampons and a host of other things are all fair game according to a lot of Brits that go there.
Its the same here I would guess, the trouble is until they come up with some sort of monitoring system it will just carry on, people really dont care.
I would say that your neighbours behaviour is quite common.

Unless there is documented evidence to prove that there was a dispute I would always answer no to that question. I had a neighbour from hell and the police almost got involved. Instead, we moved and it was the best thing we ever did. The ignorance and selfishness of people never amazes me.

Yeah, I'd heard that. The diameter of their pipes are too small or something.
They have to put their sh*te paper in a separate bin, don't they?
