Man praised for taking revenge on neighbour after 'row over bags of rubbish'
If you've ever resided beside someone you'd classify as a troublesome neighbour, you'll understand just how maddening it can be.
Whether they show complete disregard for the racket they're creating at any time of day, or they persistently attempt to invade your territory by placing items in your garden or obstructing your drive, thoughtless neighbours can be an absolute nightmare to coexist with.
One bloke on Reddit is presently battling his own neighbour from hell, as for the past several months, he has been removing the refuse from his kitchen bin and depositing it on the man's doorstep - rather than taking it out to the nearby wheelie bin.
The chap explained his neighbour doesn't position the rubbish in front of his own door, but instead carries it to his neighbour and abandons it directly outside his front entrance.
He penned: "I swear, my neighbour has lost his damn mind. For MONTHS now, this man has been leaving his trash bags, empty takeout containers, and whatever else he doesn't feel like carrying ... right in front of MY door. Not his. Mine. Like I'm the free curbside pickup service he ordered but never paid for.
"At first, I thought, 'Okay, maybe he's confused.' Nope. He knows exactly what he's doing, walks right past his door, plops it in front of mine, and goes on with his life like we're living in a sitcom where I'm the punchline.", reports the Mirror.
The fellow revealed he had challenged his neighbour about his unsanitary practice previously, but the other man had a bewildering 10-word justification for him: "It's just for a minute, I'll take it out later."
He added: "First of all, 'later' is ALWAYS the next damn morning. Second, your 'minute' smells like rotting food and regret, and I'm not living like that. Now he's sulking like I'm the villain here.
"Nah. If you can carry it from your kitchen to MY door, you can carry it the extra ten feet to the dumpster."
Those commenting on the post were equally appalled on the bloke's behalf.
Numerous people suggested they would consider contacting the police regarding the matter, or at minimum relocating the neighbour's rubbish and placing it outside his house instead.
One individual remarked: "Just keep moving it back in front of his door. You can always get a camera and contact the police or code enforcement about a littering complaint."
Another commented: "Always return his lost property without exception. It's the neighbourly thing to do."
Whilst a third penned: "Glad you handled it. [If he] does it again, I'd open the bag and dump it in front of his door."
In a follow-up post providing an update on his circumstances, the man revealed he had reported his neighbour to the police, who visited his neighbour and discussed what he'd been doing.
He continued, "Now he's taking his trash straight to the dumpster like a law-abiding adult. And me? I'm enjoying my clean doorstep and the sweet, sweet smell of petty victory."

'Greysexual' person reveals when they first knew they were 'grey' as more people are coming out
A person who identifies as a 'greysexual' has revealed how they came to realise that they experiences sexual attraction differently from the general public. Reddit user who goes by the handle @The_Archer2121, wrote a post asking others to share how they figured out that they were 'greysexual'. The term has become increasingly popular online, with the dedicated Reddit forum r/Greysexuality racking up more than 8,300 members and videos of the identity gaining thousands of views on TikTok and YouTube. Those who identify this way describe feeling 'a low degree' of sexual attraction to others, which makes them different from people who identify as completely asexual. Reddit user @The_Archer2121 wrote that they discovered their sexuality because they 'had crushes, but they're very few and far between', with 'decades' between them. 'They usually don't last long either. I've never had much interest in sex but I figured I was a late bloomer. 'It was when those feelings didn't go away in adulthood I figured I was different.' They added that they 'didn't experience hormones like everyone else' and also did not 'experience attraction to my first boyfriend'. 'I think I've felt true sexual attraction maybe once in my life. When I see someone attractive I don't have that 'I'd hit that' internal feeling. I just want to be near them,' she continued. 'And I thought the romantic/physical feelings I thought were crushes all my life was sexual attraction. Until I experienced actual sexual attraction. 'Lastly, I resonate strongly with the experience of other Greys. What about you?' The post gathered a number of comments from other people who identified as 'greysexual' who had similar experiences, with many saying they had 'inconsistent' or 'temporary' crushes. One person replied: 'I never really understood what my peers were talking about in regard to relationships during high school and felt a lot of pressure to experiment n college. 'Nothing ever felt like how other people talked about in regards to sex. Ended up getting married (not a good life choice) and things didn't go well in the sexual department. 'I was constantly ridiculed and pressured into doing things that I didn't want to do. I ended up hearing about asexuality through YouTube and that led me to reading about other's experiences and that led to me greysexuality.' A second person shared their experience, writing:'For me sexual attraction was very inconsistent. Only once for 1 year or so did I have intense sexual attraction and that was my first crush. 'The rest became less and less intense especially now that I'm pretty much past my teen years. Now it is either fleeting or weak. 'I was so confused because it would happen frequent enough where I thought I was [allosexual] then realised that what [allosexuals] describe in their experiences rarely ever happened, making me realise how weak my attraction was. 'Crushes for me don't happen that often. I also noticed I have '[asexual]' moods where for a day or so I want nothing to do with sex and don't think I can experience sexual attraction during those times.' A third shared that they initially thought they may be asexual because they had 'such little interest in sex'. However, they found that 'once every two months or so it would... turn on, so to speak'. 'And only during these episodes would I want to have sex or even really think about it,' they reflected. 'During these moments I would flip between saying I was [allosexual] and I was [asexual], until eventually I gave up and put it in the denial box throughout my entire first relationship. 'I was so repressed in this regard out of pure confusion that I was relieved my first girlfriend turned out to be asexual because I didn't know how to explain my feelings and their random appearances and disappearances. 'We're still friends now so I confessed this to her and she encouraged me to label things if I wanted.' They added that while they were 'hesitant' to claim a label due to other factors in their life, such as being 'disabled' and 'a trans man who experiences physical dysphoria', they found that 'greysexual' resonated with them the most. 'I like the vagueness and calling myself grey, I think it's comforting to have a relatively broad way to describe something so weird and specific.' While many are finding comfort in the 'greysexual' identity, there is growing concern among experts that millennials and Gen Z are having fewer sexual partners than previous generations at the same age. Researchers say it is not simply a lack of interest, but often fuelled by anxiety. US writer Carter Sherman, who interviewed more than 100 young people for her book The Second Coming, argues that miseducation, porn, digital disconnection, and political pressure have combined to reshape young people's experience of sex and intimacy. She found many were held back by social media–fuelled body image pressures and political debates over sexual rights, which she says have created a climate of 'fear and shame' around sex. Scientific studies support this picture. Research has found that scrolling through 'perfect' photos on Instagram can make young people feel worse about their bodies and lower their confidence—which in turn can put them off dating or sex. The term greysexual—also sometimes called grey-A—was first used in 2006 on the Asexual Visibility and Education Network to describe the 'grey area' between being completely asexual and feeling sexual attraction regularly.

William and Kate issue statement after King Charles makes address to nation
The Prince and Princess of Wales have shared a personal message to mark VJ Day to remember the "the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served" The Prince and Princess of Wales have issued a heartfelt message to commemorate VJ Day, honouring "the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served". Their moving tribute follows the King's own homage to those who battled and perished in the Pacific and Far East during the Second World War, declaring their service and sacrifice "shall never be forgotten". VJ Day on August 15 commemorates the end of the six-year conflict. Much of the 1945 celebrations centred on VE (Victory in Europe) Day in May, leaving those who served in the Far East branded The Forgotten Army, reports the Mirror. In their special statement, William and Kate declared: "Today, on the 80th anniversary of VJ Day, we remember the courage, sacrifice, and resilience of all who served. Today we especially think of those British and Commonwealth troops who fought in the Asia-Pacific. "We owe an enduring debt to the generation who gave so much, and to whom we will always be grateful. Lest we forget. W and C". William and Kate will be absent from today's national service of remembrance at the National Memorial Arboretum in Staffordshire. Nevertheless, the King, Queen Camilla and Prime Minister Keir Starmer will be in attendance. In his earlier message today, Charles praised the "courage and camaraderie" of heroes who battled in the Pacific and Far East during "humanity's darkest hour" as "a flame that shall blaze for eternity". He also notably recognised the destruction wrought by the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki that brought about Japan's surrender, outlining the "immense price" paid by its people as one "we pray no nation need ever pay again". His contemplation of the nuclear strikes, which brought about the conclusion of the Second World War, arrives amid heightened fears over the worldwide threat of nuclear warfare. In an audio address to the nation, realms and Commonwealth, the King reflected on the horrors endured by allied prisoners of war "who endured years of brutal captivity: the starvation, disease and cruelty that tested the very limits of human endurance", and the "mental and physical scars" the conflict inflicted on survivors. And he pledged the service and sacrifice of VJ Day heroes "shall never be forgotten", addressing their families and the "sadly dwindling band of veterans": "Please know that the courage and camaraderie displayed in humanity's darkest hour is a flame that shall blaze for eternity – a beacon that honours our past and guides our future." The King, in what is thought to be the most explicit acknowledgement by a British sovereign of the suffering in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, stated it was proper to reflect and recognise the consequences of the "war's final act" on the inhabitants of the Japanese cities. "Innocent civilian populations of occupied territories faced grievous hardships, too," he said in the broadcast released at 7.30am today. "Their experience reminds us that war's true cost extends beyond battlefields, touching every aspect of life – a tragedy all-too vividly demonstrated by conflicts around the world today. "On this landmark anniversary, we should also pause to acknowledge that in the war's final act, an immense price was paid by the citizens of Hiroshima and Nagasaki – a price we pray no nation need ever pay again." He added: "But in recalling so much suffering, we must not lose sight of how great was the cause and how sweet the victory." More than 90,000 British troops became casualties during the conflict with Japan, with nearly 30,000 losing their lives, whilst over 12,000 Britons were amongst the 190,000 Commonwealth forces imprisoned by the Japanese. The US forces bore the heaviest losses amongst Allied nations, with over 100,000 killed in combat. In Hiroshima and Nagasaki, more than 200,000 people perished from the American atomic bombs and in the following months from radiation poisoning, severe burns and other critical injuries.
