My neighbour won't move his rubbish mountain from our shared garden…it's a ‘fire hazard' & people tell me to sell it all
And not only is the mess taking up space, but the neighbour is also refusing to move it.

If that wasn't bad enough, as well as being an eyesore, many have also hailed the waste as a 'fire hazard.'
Annoyed by the mess, which is taking up the majority of the man's patio, the frustrated social media user took to Reddit to express his irritation.
Posting on the r/Peterborough thread, the anonymous man who is from Ontario, Canada, uploaded a snap of the unwanted stuff, leaving many totally gobsmacked.
Not only is there a cupboard and multiple chairs, but there's also a fan and numerous boxes of belongings too.
But that's not all, as there's also a sofa dumped on top of the pile, as well as books, rugs and what appears to be a mattress.
And if you thought that was it, think again, as there's even pillows, hangers and Christmas decorations.
You'll even spot cleaning products and food thrown in the mix too.
Unsure on what to do with the pile of rubbish, the man who writes under the username @Formal_Distribution, begged: 'Help!'
He then explained: '[My] neighbour won't move his trash from the shared yard for over a year.
'Contacted the City and they're not helpful.'
Eager for guidance, he asked: 'Can we treat it as a dump and take care of it ourselves?'
Reddit users were left gobsmacked by the huge pile of rubbish and many eagerly raced to the comments to share their advice.
One person said: 'It looks like it's a fire hazard. Contact the fire dept.'
Another added: 'Have a yard sale in your shared back yard this Saturday - 'Everything must go', 'All proceeds given to charity '.'
Getting a neighbour to complain to the city and the fire department on the grounds of health hazard, eye sore and fire hazard can also help
Reddit user
A third commented: 'Also call your city councillor. We've had help from ours with a similar situation.'
Whilst someone else wrote: 'Getting a neighbour to complain to the city and the fire department on the grounds of health hazard, eyesore and fire hazard can also help.
'In fact, it could even be more effective than your complaint because the city has a system for intervening in neighbour disputes.'

They are, to the best of our knowledge, uninjured and in a refuge area."An area of ground in the mine collapsed the previous day near an area in which the group were working, mine operator Newmont Corp said in a statement. The miners - two of whom are from British Columbia and one from Ontario - were able to move to a sealed area underground, before a second collapse further blocked their movement, Newmont area where they relocated included a refuge station that had adequate food, water and ventilation to "support an extended stay", the operator said. "At the time of the initial incident, three business partner employees were working more than 500 meters beyond the affected zone and were asked to relocate to a designated refuge station before a subsequent fall of ground blocked the access way," Newmont the second collapse, there has been restricted communication, so a "standdown of operations" at the mine is in place, the company mine in which the three are trapped is an open-pit copper and gold mine, which was constructed in 2014.

'I got footsie revenge on a man who kept manspreading on a flight'
A man has shared how he got revenge on an 'entitled' passenger who took up all the space in their row on the plane - and people say it has made them 'fall in love with his wife' A man has been praised for getting revenge on a plane passenger who took up all the room by 'manspreading' for the entire flight. Many people have problems with 'entitled plane passengers', and one man explained his issue when he was travelling on a seven-and-a-half hour flight with his wife in a premium section of the plane because he is "plus sized". He wrote on Reddit: "I'm always so careful to make sure I'm not taking anyone else's space on a plane, even if it's uncomfortable. I'm supposed to be in a middle seat, but when I get there, there's already a man sitting in the middle spot next to his (assumed) wife, so I take the aisle. No big deal. I prefer that. My spouse was seated a couple of rows away." The man, in his 70s, was around 5'4 but taking up more room than necessary, putting him in an uncomfortable position for the entire flight. He added: "He basically has a swimming pool of space to lounge around in. So tell me why the hell this man took my entire armrest and 3-4" of my space, had his entire body pressed against mine despite me seeing he had room between him and his wife. "Most egregious of all, put his one foot like 6 inches into my leg room. Also, at one point, he motioned like he was trying to get at his seatbelt, but just kind of ended up 'pinching' at my upper thigh, but then didn't put his seatbelt on? Ew. "He also had AirPods in and seemed to be pretending to sleep, plus being a woman sitting along means I don't trust how he'd react if I said something." To assert dominance, he pushed back by putting his foot on the boarder of his seat when he readjusted, preventing him from reclaiming the space. However, this didn't go to plan because he put his foot directly against his and would bump into it every 20 or so seconds. He said: "I start texting my spouse and she does the coolest thing. She tells me she'll trade seats with me, and if he tries the same thing with her, she will start playing footsie with him. "Here's the thing: my wife is a 6'4" bearded trans woman. She has a voice like Johnny Cash and to a 70-something creepy man, will absolutely read as male. "So if this guy wants to intimidate a woman, he can do it to someone who will dish it out right back, but 5x creepier. "I told her not to worry, I would put a blanket between us, no big deal. So the blanket goes down, his foot immediately retreats, but then... this guy starts 'tapping' his foot to music, but he's doing it pressed up against my foot, so he's basically just rubbing my foot up and down with his foot? I yank my foot back instinctively because I felt like I was going to puke. So I got the wife on him." "Bless her heart for being willing to swap seats with me. She's an angel." Commenting on his post, one user said: "I need to know what the other guy did when your wife sat down! I'm sure he retreated back into a cocoon!" While another added: "I just fell in love with your wife." A third person said: "He's an a***hole but middle seat gets both armrests."

People left baffled after struggling to find wild animal hiding in forest
People have been left baffled and 'horrified' after failing to spot a wild animal lurking in the forest within the photo. So do you think you've got what it takes? If you're walking around in nature, it's important to have some knowledge in what kind of animals may be found in the area, especially if there's something you should be cautious about. Mountain lions, also known as cougars, is a large small wild cat native to the North, Central, and South America. While some claim to have spotted similar big cats, including pumas, out in the wild, there's no credible evidence to suggest they are established in the wild. Despite this, it's still important to be on the lookout for any type of dangerous animal when you're walking in nature. According to the National Park Service, mountains lions are rarely spotted by humans, even if you're walking on a remote trail, as mountain lion attacks on humans are 'incredibly rare,' according to the Mountain Lion Foundation. Despite this, it can still be useful to know when to be on the lookout for them, as they can be masters at camouflaging. Taking to Reddit, one user took to the SpotTheSniper subreddit to share a photo of a mountainous forest area, where the back of an unknown, large animal can be seen in the bottom left corner of the photo. But apparently, there's a second animal also hiding somewhere within the photo. "Find the Mountain Lion," they wrote on the post as the shared a photo where a mountain lion was seemingly hiding within. People soon took to the comments to share their guesses, but some also said the photo made them realise just how scary mountain lions can be. "It's pictures like these that remind me if I lived in mountain lion country, I'd be some big cat's dinner," one person wrote. To this, another person said: "I did for a while and the expression was if you see one it's too late." Where is the mountain lion hiding? However, some eagle-eyed users managed to spot the mountain lion in the photo, as they spotted it looking at the animal in the photo, as its whole face was visible. So long as you know where to look... "By the base of the tree on the right side of the picture. He's above the big rock by the deer's(?) butt," one person pointed out, which started a discussion about whether the animal in the photo was a deer, and elk, or a donkey. Another person said: "Found big kitty by the tree on the right follow it down to the left side of tree's branches." "Having lived in an area where Mountain Lions are not unheard of, that has to be one of the most frightening sentences to hear(read)," a third user wrote.
