Fragile Glass Bauble Dec 2016 9:16am, 20 Dec 2016 1,298 posts	Quote Pin Fragile Glass Bauble (That would annoy the hell out of me too Helegant, irrational or not. One of the things I didn't like about our old house is the neighbours had a right of way over part of our drive so they could access their property)

Raptors Claws are coming to town Dec 2016 9:48am, 20 Dec 2016 35,056 posts	Quote Pin Raptors Claws are coming to town [We're a bit the other way. The local youngsters have permission to go into our back garden and retrieve footballs that have gone over the fence, and I don't think I'd be all that bothered if a public bridleway crossed out property.]

CharlieP Dec 2016 10:07am, 20 Dec 2016 587 posts	Quote Pin CharlieP @HtHAS - hard to tell if that would annoy me without knowing the topography, but I get irate when leaflet-droppers walk across my front lawn to get to/from my neighbour's house. Because the house is 10 metres plus from the street you'd think I have some expectations of privacy, so it's mildly distressing to be sat minding my own business and see a figure walk across the front window. I bet I'm not even allowed to set tripwires or mantraps.
