'I called police on my neighbour for selfish act during rainstorm but he won't stop'
The neighbour's act has directly impacted the person's home. Neighbourhood squabbles are a common occurrence, after all, you don't get to pick and choose who lives next to you. In most cases, low-level issues can either be solved or ignored. But sometimes a neighbour's actions directly impact another person's home - and that's when they really have to step in. This is the situation for one householder who is at their wit's end. The man living next door is consistently acting in a selfish manner during heavy rain. And it's more than just a nuisance for the householder - it's actually causing damage to their property, The Mirror reports. Despite attempts at mediation and even getting the police being involved, the neighbour is refusing to budge. Unsure what else to do, the raging resident has turned to social media for advice. Posting on Reddit's Bad Neighbours forum, they revealed that the man next door had been sticking a sandbag in front of his property during heavy rain. While that may seem like an innocent way to keep his property drier, it was actually diverting a flow of rainwater down the side of the poster's home. And it was more than just an inconvenience, as the increased water was causing the ground on their property to erode much quicker than normal. Sharing an image of the sandbag on the pavement, they wrote: "Neighbour puts sandbag on the sidewalk to direct more rainwater on my property. Really annoying because it increases the amount of water running down the side of the house and makes the ground erode much faster than it should." The photo has racked up dozens of comments, with many forum users offering their advice. One person said: "There's a very good chance that intentionally directing water runoff onto a neighbouring property is a code violation." Another agreed, commenting: "In my town that is against the law. You aren't allowed to change your grading or direct water to run onto other properties." Someone else suggested: "Go ask him what he's trying to do. Just discuss it with him." In a new post to update the situation, the resident revealed they had taken further action - but the situation had actually got worse. They shared a new photo of the street outside and, two weeks on from the lone sandbag, there were now at least five sandbags taking up the pavement and directing even more down the side of the poster's house. They said: "So this is the new form of blocking the sidewalk. It crosses the entire sidewalk causing a tripping hazard to anyone who using the sidewalk. "I've called the village to complain about the bags and they sent the police out a couple times to have them removed but they keep getting put back each time it rains. "I have purchased my own sandbag to stop the increased amount of water from rushing down the sidewalk next to my house to help control the problem he is causing to some degree. "Not sure what else to try to do. Talking to him is not a good idea because he and we do not get along and it will lead nowhere just as it has in the past." Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

A number of Redditors were furious on the poster's behalf, urging them to take action. One said: "If they are on a public sidewalk, they must be available for the public to take." Someone else added: "The sidewalks are not private property. Anything left on pubic property is subject to being picked up and thrown out. "Grab them, toss them in a trunk and dispose of them in several random dumpsters. Maybe he'll get tired of spending money on new bags every time it rains." Several others also suggested the householder call the police or their local councillor every time it happens.

'Phenomenal' Apple TV+ comedy is finally back after two-year break
'Phenomenal' Apple TV+ comedy series is finally back after two-year break This hit comedy starring two Hollywood legends has returned for a second season on Apple TV+ after a two year break Apple TV+'s finest comedy series has made its comeback and it's certainly not Ted Lasso. This overlooked sitcom about unexpected companions brings together two comedic icons for a cleverly-crafted series that shines a light on grown-up friendships with hilarious consequences. Bad Neighbours stars Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen feature as Sylvia and Will, former university mates who reconnect following Will's divorce. Platonic's debut season launched in 2023 and chronicled Sylvia's personal upheaval after choosing to abandon her career as a solicitor. At the same time, Will is battling to keep his pub running. Whilst their renewed bond pushes them to face their problems and plunge into fresh obstacles, they frequently discover themselves encouraging each other's more damaging habits, reports the Mirror. Sylvia is trying to get her life back on track in season 2 (Image: APPLE TV+) The programme became a success with both viewers and reviewers, achieving an incredible 96 per cent Rotten Tomatoes rating, whilst audiences awarded the inaugural season a remarkable 75 per cent. Now, the second series has at last returned with even more chuckles and twists on offer as Will and Sylvia both transform their professional lives and personal selves. If Platonic's first series escaped your attention, have a look at these glowing recommendations from supporters who all believe it deserves consideration. Only two episodes of the second series have been made available, so there's ample opportunity to get up to speed with the initial run. One five-star Google assessment gushed: "I love this show! I love anything with Rose Byrne and Seth Rogen, they make great comedy together. "I literally laugh out loud at some of the antics. This is a feel good show to pass the time or just sit down for an enjoyable watching experience." Bar owner Will wants to run his own business (Image: APPLE TV+) Get Apple TV+ free for a week This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

Just remember to cancel before the trial ends and you won't pay a penny. And another wrote: "Hilarious! I just came across this series on Apple TV as I'm already loving Seth's other series "The Studio" it's phenomenal. "Of course Seth and Rose are comic gold geniuses in this series! I've laughed out loud every episode. "The writing and characters are brilliant thanks in part to Francesca Delbanco who created as well as produced the series. I really hope there is a season 2 and 3!!!" A third described the series as: "Wonderful. My kid and I are constantly debating whether men and women can be friends and referencing [When] Harry Met Sally or Sleepless [in Seattle]. "We loved Platonic, it revisits Harry Met Sally and says yes they can be friends, but with limits. Seth and Rose have a really great chemistry." Article continues below Resembling a contemporary When Harry Met Sally minus the romantic element, Platonic serves as the ideal thirty-minute comedy for relaxing after a demanding day. Platonic season 2 continues Wednesdays on Apple TV+.

Free streaming service adds iconic 90s horror before remake hits cinemas
If you're a staunch believer that the original is always better than the modern day remake, it might be time to check out this classic 90s horror film before the new version hits cinemas this year. Time and time again, production studios aim to capitalise on the success of an earlier film by updating its storyline for today's audiences. But all too often, fans are let down as the new film struggles to find its own voice. Ahead of this year's release of I Know What You Did Last Summer, starring Madelyn Cline and The Studio star Chase Sui Wonders, you can decide for yourself after Tubi added the original slasher flick to its completely free streaming service. As part of a new release of titles coming to Tubi in the UK this June, Jim Gillespie's iconic horror film is available to watch. Released in 1997, it follows four teenage friends who are stalked by a hook-wielding killer after they accidentally ran over a man and dumped his body to conceal their secret. Starring Scooby-Doo and Buffy the Vampire Slayer star, Sarah Michelle Gellar, and her husband Freddie Prinze Jr., the film has become a beloved staple of the horror genre. In 2021, Amazon Prime Video created a TV series based on the original film which starred Madison Iseman. But, in 2022 director Jennifer Kaytin Robinson and screenwriter Leah McKendrick successfully pitched an idea for a new installment in the franchise to Sony Pictures. Action Accident Man: Hitman's Holiday Redemption (2013) River Wild Southern Comfort Takers (2010) Comedy Bad Neighbours Bad Neighbours 2 Cuckoo Employee of the Month Julie & Julia The Dick Van Dyke Show The Munsters Walk of Shame Documentary Horror I Know What You Did Last Summer Romance Sci-Fi and Fantasy The new film will be the fourth in the I Know What You Did Last Summer franchise and will serve as a direct sequel to the previous 1997 version. This time around, five friends similarly kill a pedestrian in a car accident and cover up their involvement. However, after a stalker becomes hell-bent on killing them, they seek help from the survivors of the infamous Southport Massacre of 1997. Among the other titles coming to Tubi this month are several films from the Resident Evil Franchise, along with Priest (2011) and The Mist. Based on the popular Japanese video game franchise, Tubi is boasting 'Resident Evil', 'Resident Evil: Apocalypse', 'Resident Evil: Extinction', 'Resident Evil: Afterlife', 'Resident Evil: Retribution' and 'Resident Evil: The Final Chapter' on its platform from June 1. More Trending Numerous other hits, such as Bad Neighbours, River Wild and Employee of the Month will be coming to the site.
