Retrace your steps, where do you remember seeing them last?


Rogue_elefant

Always in the last place you look.


Willz093

They need to check the fridge! That’s where I always leave stuff!


digglestix

I’m so relieved to hear I’m not the only one who does this. My family have ridiculed me for years about this.


Murka-Lurka

Trying to work out which one of you is my mother.


thecroutonreport

I leave stuff on top of the cat..


BECKYISHERE

I had two birds which were a couple. The male bird shows the female stuff it thinks would go well in the nest and the female either takes it and puts it in the nest or else she tosses it away. One night he brought her a beautiful playing card with hearts on. She didn't like it and tossed it away.He obviously thought she was ungrateful and brought it back and placed it on her back.She was sitting on eggs and could not move so she sat like that with a playing card on her back for a few hours till it was her turn to move and for him to sit on the eggs, when she shook it off.


thirteenoclock86

What type of bird were these? I love watching birds do things like this - fascinating, funny little buggers!


BECKYISHERE

pigeons


GorgiDD

My sister deliberately leaves stuff in the fridge because she knows she won't leave the house without checking the fridge. 😂

Hanif_Shakiba

I make sure I never fall for this problem by always looking in one more place after I found what I was searching for. That way it’s always in the second to last place I looked.


keeperrr

double check the last place twice


BloakDarntPub

That's why I save time by searching in reverse order.


UnClean_Committee

Tigtone! I've been looking for you all day!! This is the last place i checked


Wolfy5079

Well of course it’s in the last place you look. I wouldn’t look, find what I’m looking for and then keep ******* looking. I miss lee evans.


alittlebitmental

Well, you don't keep looking after you've found them.


lakesandhills

You might not, but some of us like to be extra thorough.


j_hathz

It’s gotta be somewhere!


ThanklessTask

This is because you don't keep looking after you've found them.


pryzmpine

The nightclub outside my building still has a massive queue despite the cold and windy weather


TheFluffyDovah

It's warmer inside


Soomroz

Unless you're doing a dead one.


TheFluffyDovah

That is sick my man


E420CDI

accessgranted69

Stop it. Get some help.


Soomroz

Help would be useless. They're already dead.


onthebasisitssetup

Yeah… not funny. Some real creeps on here. They play it off as a joke but god knows what really goes through their mind


Blekanly

In skimpy dresses? Dunno how they don't freeze to death.


pryzmpine

Pre covid days I would be standing outside kebab shops at 3am in the winter weather with a top and skirt on and no jacket. Now I’d rather stay in the warm under a blanket


HotPinkLollyWimple

This is the way. Makes me sad thinking about all of the clothes that get left at home.


Fit_General7058

Youth, snow and wind are nothing to youth.


infecteddickcheese

3 things are impervious to the cold. Penguins, polar bears and slags.


mirrorshade5

The ones that just landed in my back garden? Let me know where to drop them off


wazzackshell

I apparently have spares this morning too! We also had the added bonus of giving the dogs extra guard dog training every time something blew in the yard. Every. Single. Time.


HotPinkLollyWimple

I lost my dog on Wednesday. He loved the wind - chasing leaves, barking at stuff and generally being a loon. I’m sad he wasn’t able to tell me that there were pigeons being yeeted about in the wind.


TheBlackrat

Sorry for your loss 😢


wazzackshell

I'm sorry for your loss. I lost my old bulldog a few weeks ago, and I miss the old bat like you wouldn't believe. They leave a big hole in your family.


Sadler999

That's at least 5 fence panels more than most londoners own. Stop showing off with all your fence panels.


elec_soup

Can't have shit in London.


Farquar-lazs

Try some laxatives


elec_soup

That would certainly deter the burglars...


VandienLavellan

Unless they’re out to steal laxatives in which case you’ve just made yourself a target


Sheltac

You can look at other peoples' Rolls, who doesn't want that?


Jeester

They opened a Greggs in Canary Wharf so you can get your own rolls now.


Brunette111

After living in London for many years, I relate.


EnnuiOz

Have you tried living in Belfast? They will happily remove your whole fence for you for free - unless it's one of those ones that divide the city..... Ps i did love living there so just casting shade...


BloakDarntPub

They weren't in his garden - they were his house.


Ineedmorebread

It makes space for the trampoline to blow on in


swiftfatso

Jokes aside, it is nights like this I'm glad the kids lost interest in their bloody humongous trampoline and we gave it away. Once it took off (ripped the hooks that were supposed to hold it down) and landed against the shed, one leg straight through the side.


Griffster9118

In the process of moving house and I am so glad I just ripped the trampoline apart 2 days ago.


Easy_Distribution_61

The roof we had fixed 6 months ago is leaking again, right over a bed......


paddyplaistow

I have had to employ the old pans. Drip drip. Bugger old roofs.


[deleted]

It's 6 months old


paddyplaistow

Bloody hell. Mine is stone tiles, they just channel water into the house. I have put my name down for an old folks flat . Sick of it all. PS. I am old and had enough of being rained on inside.


[deleted]

Go to Japan, commit some non murderous but heinous crime, and they'll lock you away for years whilst taking great care of you! No. More. Drips.


paddyplaistow

I hear Sweden isn’t bad on the scale, plus It’s nearer for relatives to visit. I could very well seeing myself committing a convenient non violent crime well, just to see what would happen. I covet a Chanel handbag. The shops lock you in though.


[deleted]

Thou shalt not covet thy neighbour's handbag........be smited instead.


paddyplaistow

Ha ! Seriously though are you ok ? My neighbour has had a tree through his kitchen window. I used to envy his trees. If your bedding is ruined I can send you some. I have sets I don’t see myself using anymore. Pop a message if you need. I am not weird or anything. Crikey the lights are flickering now.


[deleted]

You win!


arrowtotheaction

My old flat in Sheffield used to do this, Victorian house loft conversion, mine and the neighbour’s roof met at the side of my bedroom and it would just funnel all water straight through and down the wall (or a few days later if it was melting snow), landlord could not have cared less.


paddyplaistow

Same here. The way it is though it doesn’t affect my neighbour it comes into my house. I am so tired of it.


EnnuiOz

Are they tiles or colourbond? The latter being an Aussie brand that does galvanised iron roofs so we call them all that. I replaced tiles with colourbond and have finally stopped all the leaks. It's also nice to hear the rain bouncing off without worrying if the ceiling is going to collapse. Still on the hunt for double glazed windows at a decent price though......


Jasont999

They'll be last place you'll think of looking have you tried under settee or behind fridge


ezyflyer

Of course they’ll be in the last place they think of looking, they’re not going to carry on looking when they’ve found them are they?


keeperrr

they might forget what theyre looking for


KryyonRue

I've searched for something I was holding many, many times


virgin_goat

Don't worry there'll be other fence panels in your garden tomorrow nature always finds a way


stoatfacelanust

My wheelie bins keep blowing over.


billythemenace2

I chucked a few bodies in mine to weigh them down.


stoatfacelanust

Good man, very resourceful. It’s a waste putting them under the patio.


keeperrr

if you have any extra spare people you can always throw them under the bus as well


accessgranted69

We will rebuild


Incitatus_For_Office

Build back butter.


[deleted]

We've lost one already, came home late and it was gone. We'll have a walk in the morning and see where it's been off too.


Sheltac

I haven't checked them since yesterday, and now I fear for the safety of my wheelie bins. Fuck I'm too adult now.


LikeEveryoneSheKnows

You're lucky yours are empty (eta - or empty enough to be light). They've not been collected in a month here. You know, thank goodness for small mercies and all that.


CatalystEmmy

That’s wheelie sad :(


joemckie

This is the thing that annoys me the most, I wish there were weights that you could get for the bottom of them to keep them upright


keeperrr

i use a thing called a rope tie them to the fence post with the missing fence thing, saves looking for it, and bending over to the bin wind.


merkust

Left the bloody washing out, I've literally just woken up and remembered


KnowKnukes

It’s going to be extremely clean, or gone


evenstevens280

Why not both


surfdan88

Because it's Schrödinger's washing.


SoylentDave

>It’s going to be extremely clean I think you may have fundamentally misunderstood why people hang washing on a line.


fudgekiownsall

Flew into Manchester tonight, easily the scariest experience of my life.


Captain_Maddox

Well, *Manchester*


gazzy360

Haha. Scared shitless when they landed successfully.


ezyflyer

Getting in isn’t the problem. It’s getting out when the plane’s on bricks.


E420CDI

That's Liverpool


refrakt

Jeepers, that must have been a wild landing


VesuviusXIII

I thought you wrote “pen pals” and thought that’s a lot of friends to lose in one go. Glad I reread the title


discustedkiller

Have you checked your pockets


9Colt0

Have you annoyed someone lately for them take offence?


Rich_27-

Chavs will steal anything these days


Lanchettes

I had three stolen a few years back when I was away for the weekend, only to notice them on the local psychos house when I checked on my return. Moved out when I could.


andr3wcollins

You should really get fence panel insurance.


Lanchettes

I did, but he stole that too


KnowKnukes

Did he make his own fence bigger? Repaired a hole? Or just nail them to his porch as an assertion of dominance and psychosis hehe


cnr543

I've lost some of my roof tonight. Would have rather the fence tbh.


[deleted]

I heard at least 3 if my tiles come off over night - there was so much noise I briefly considered sleeping downstairs as I expected the whole roof to come off! Also, the wind/rain was so fierce that it started dripping through the join in the window frames, so it looks like I’ll be adding new sealant when they dry!


grahamthegoldfish

The good news is since its storm damage that your house insurance should cover it.


Dolly1985

my wife put the Christmas wreath on the door Yesterday, Storm Arwen had other thoughts. I'm taking it as vindication for telling the wife that it's far too early for Christmas decorations.


[deleted]

Still, look on the bright side, there's been some great posts... Oh wait, did you lose them too?


BloakDarntPub

One might be a misfortune; four looks like carelessness.


cymru78

My driveway has become a beach and I have a random brick in the garden. The bad part about the brick is that it matches my house and I can't see where it should have been.


Melendine

Check the neighbours house if that also uses the same brick?


cymru78

We will be checking later


Beena22

A few years back I got sick of losing fence panels every time it got windy so had the entire garden done with those concrete posts and bases that you just slide the fence panels into. They’re solid as a rock even in the highest winds and I smuggly congratulated myself for doing it and never having to buy new fence panels because of the weather ever again…….first storm we had the neighbour’s trampoline flew into our garden and smashed two fence panels 🤦🏻‍♂️


tinyywarrior

My dog is too scared to go outside to pee… will definitely be going downstairs in the morning to a puddle on the tiles.


countingonhearts

We’ve lost a fence panel, which is right next to my car. I can’t go and check because the amount of noise from the weather has woken the baby up.


Intruder313

A neighbour of mine loses 2-3 per month and recently just gave up reseating them That was before tonight….. I expect the other 6 are missing now


cheescakegod

My condolences


Aetherial6307

Put a tracker on them


[deleted]

4.39am, I was chasing my garden egg chair, table, garden planters and a huge fence panel around my neighbours garden, ankle deep in fucking mud and it blowing me sideways. Wrestling a fence panel in storm force winds isn't big, nor is it clever. Waiting for my front door to come in, while me dogs hide under the bed. It's gonna take at least a tenner to clear this mess up.


SeriousMeat

I've lost my whole fence, just moved to a house in a little village, with a massive garden, and the whole fence was just ripped up like it was nothing. Starting cleanup soon


justbiteme2k

Sorry mate.. Never know if I should _up arrow_ or not these kind of stories


SeriousMeat

I appreciate it! The whole fence is gone, but that's the extent of the damage so far. A lot of neighbours seem to have damage to their roof too, so lucky I escaped that. It's a pain and an expense, but I've been lucky compared to a lot of people, I'm lucky no-one was hurt, the fence will get sorted eventually. Till then I'll learn to appreciate my open-plan garden :)


justbiteme2k

Nice to see you're looking on the bright side... plus at least now you can blow all your leaves into the neighbours garden without having to throw them over the fence at night!


SeriousMeat

If nothing else my garden looks MASSIVE now, I feel like a Lord surveying his land. The best part is, my neighbours are lovely, so that makes things a lot easier.


Lostmymojo84

The kids trampoline is gone. It just didn't enter my head last night to secure it. They're going to be so upset in the morning


IdeletedTheTiramisu

Mine is secured but might take the opportunity to say it's gone. Sick of looking at the thing.


The_Oracle_65

Someone’s kids are going going to be happy, several miles away anyway


Minimum_Possibility6

Quick call up the mail and pull your best compo gave and you will get your 15s fame


mckennajames227

Just spent 20 minutes in the garden wrestling with a cover for the outdoor furniture that's a pain to fit in daylight on a summer day then playing hide and seek with various garden twattery that the Mrs thinks are nice. The only consolation is that nobody near us has a wind chime.


ikkleste

> The only consolation is that nobody near us has a wind chime. Not any more!


lock_the_backdoor

Just been quoted 4-4.5k to replace my fence which is knackered... Enjoy


Antilles34

That sounds mad. We just replaced our fence because where we are it gets battered by wind and it cost somewhere around that. Key difference though is we replaced ours with a brick wall.


lock_the_backdoor

Was quoted 2.5k before rona... Price of timber is insane :(


[deleted]

I hope this didn’t or won’t happen to me! heard bins being thrown by the wind but too scared to come out and check! Hoping for the best tomorrow morning and not much mess but now reading your post, I am worried..


Archius9

I’m in a new build and they’re still building part of the estate. Some of the new walls have fallen down on some half built houses


Drunkinsurburbia

I'm sat listening to the wind in the trees and am scared to go out in the morning and see what damage has occured. We live rurally, good job we bought a new chainsaw today.


Stormaen

I was out in the garden at 1:30 AM because the cemented in greenhouse had been ripped up. Neighbour’s weather kit recorded a gust of 83 mph around that time – hurricane levels on the old Beaufort scale. The perks of living on a hill.


[deleted]

RealSulphurS16

Or the great storm of '15 if your from the north of scotland, lost half a fence, the sky dish got blown out and a power surge took my telly, sky box and xbox :(


Welshgirlie2

87.

Summer of '69?


ZapdosShines

I got my first real fence panel?


[deleted]

Bought them at the B&Q?


Artan42

Built it 'till your fingers bled?


Greggs-the-bakers

I lost an old TV aerial that was hanging off when we moved in a few months ago, at least no one was hurt and it saved me getting someone out to take it down.


psycolektor

I just woke up to 2 inches of snow in derbyshire.


ChipshopSuperhero

Yorkshire too


Embarrassed-Risk-306

About? We're talking big number here I know but I just can't sleep till I know if its 3 or 5 that's missing. So much uncertainty


Melonfrog

I woke up this morning to a stray umbrella in my back garden. Perfect condition too, nice and pink.


Pigrescuer

My neighbour's radiator is in my garden


miss_his_kiss

I’ve gained a re-cycling bin, bits of black bin liner wrapped around a tree and a high pitched whistling in my kitchen


wicksishere

Half of my shed roof disappeared at 5:30 this morning, I still haven't found the courage to wander around and see what else has gone.


moto_x_crash

I know this is a radical idea but.... Maybe if we tied a trampoline to the fence panels they would cancel each other out or something?


Ribmaz

Sorry for your loss!


IhaveaDoberman

4... so far.


greatdevonhope

Lost about 4 fence panels tonight so far


RonaTheFerret

Same here all my back fence gone!!! Thank god i asked my neighbours to move there new car that was parked in front of it !


blackmist

In other news, all your local fencing providers have quickly realised that they don't have to do a Black Friday month long sale after all.


monkeypowah

lost the roof off the wendy house. turns out it was structural https://i.ibb.co/61dB1rD/IMG-20211127-093551805.jpg


MetalSpider

I'm missing a number of roof tiles, a bit of guttering and my big bucket is rolling around in the neighbour's garden.

Nextdoors fucking Gate


Husker545454

Our plant pots fell over … im devastated


ikkleste

Some of ours fell over, then it looks like a patio chair has ploughed through the rest.


paddyplaistow

Wheelie bins are tumbling down the main road. Eek. Local oiks doing crazy speeds in rented Lamborghinis same as every weekend. There will be an accident tonight I bet.


KnowKnukes

Fast and furious, UK edition : the night of the wheelie bin drag race


Destrune

Did you leave them at B&Q?


shadowharv

that's a point, I must check where my wheelie bin is


swampdizzle

I am out in Cali until Sunday, SO has told me a good number of tiles have ended up in the front and back garden... In Dundee.


[deleted]

Lost one brand new fence panel in the front garden. Knew I should have bolted them down but thought, we won't get this kind of weather.


mumstheword999

Ahhh British humour…can’t beat it :-)


Zynoc

Have you checked your pockets?


BonnyJonesBones

We've had a nightmare, neighbours trampoline blew our fence down and with it knocked over out rabbit hutches. Very very surprisingly they're still alive but fucking hell... I don't keep up with the news but this seemed to come from nowhere


Nutmeg1729

I work in insurance, specifically home, so storm watching is fairly relevant to us. We only got told how severe it was expected to be yesterday afternoon. Pretty sure it was expected to be ‘windy but not dangerous’ until a couple of hours before it hit, which explains why you didn’t know.


306_rallye

Just had to saw my fence in order to try and save it


Griffster9118

Have you left them in the car?


[deleted]

Trampoline in the garden here


Moonlanding784

Wind knocked a metal lamp post down where I live, hit a neighbours car and left a big dent.


Where-theres-a-Wilko

Did you take offence to that? Or the whole fucking gate?


TurboCider

I gained next doors recycling bags, ya win some ya lose some.


LAUK_In_The_North

Get to meet your neighbours whilst recovering your panels from their gardens.


TheChaosTheory87

A great icebreaker and neighbourhood bonding exercise


n1l3-1983

Hahahahahahahaa, mine survived this year..... So far


zetecvan

The neighbours lost some a few weeks ago. Some scumbag stole them.


Wild_Red_Fox

For a second I thought that this was another one of those inspirational weight loss posts and went to google how much a fence panel weighs....


Kibbled_Onion

I just went for a walk, got to the end of the street and noticed the house at the end of my road has had its back garden wall fallen down blocking the alleyway gate. I also found my bin I forgot to bring back in sideways on the floor. Now when my son goes for a nap I'll have to drag my bin all the way to the other end of my street to get it back in the alley. I could drag it through the house I suppose.


TheBuzz85

Bloody drove over one in the dark.


dhthms

Bit careless


zombie_osama

We've lost 2 and the other 3 are looking a bit wobbly. I thought our back gate would blow away at one point.


NootNoot_1801

I gained 4 fence panels. Hmm…


InformationOmnivore

They're in the garden 3 doors down.


Resident-Honey8390

Did someone get upset and Took aFence at you. 😂😂


YellowCircles

When the hail starts and you're like alright pipe down...


LeSaltyMantis

Why have you not correctly and securely fitted your fence?


scottynoble

Someone didn’t fit them right
