My neighbor is moving and their trailer is parked pretty sketchy. Should I say something?
(lemmy.world)
I really want to just go put something under the wheels but I've never talked to these people.
Update edit: thank you for all the replies. I went over and knocked but no answer. It's definitely not chocked. If I see them come home I'll go back over. I'm worried as soon as the weight shifts loading it that it will just go down the hill.
Why wouldn't you? I suppose they would be thankful because you show considerations about their stuff and wellbeing. Some wooden blocks in front of the weels should probably be enough.
You suppose they'll be thankful for pointing out they're incompetent at blocking their trailer?
A kind suggestion would go miles
I'm not sure I understand that
People don't like being told they're wrong. Especially on their own stuff. Kind suggestions to a neighbor will go better than just unsolicited blocking their trailer. Imagine them hitching up within hours of this picture being taken, start to drive off and then damage their trailer coming off makeshift blocks that you so graciously put there without their consent.
I did not recommend to block the trailer for them but to have the suggestion of using blocks in front of the wheels to be enough in the conversation about that trailer being in danger of rolling away.
Oh. OP suggested blocking the wheels and you said why wouldn't you.
I guess you meant why wouldn't you to him talking to his neighbors. To that I agree. I miss the days where neighbors all knew each other and regularly talked.
Yes, that's what I meant. Looks like my response was not very comprehensible, sorry about that.
Oh no worries. I misunderstood you.
