A vegan family, who were left incensed after their meat-eating neighbours hosted a BBQ, felt compelled to send another threatening note when their initial one was disregarded.
The letter sparked quite a debate, with some deeming it a “reasonable” request, while others encouraged the family to host another barbecue in defiance, arguing that no one can dictate what you do in your own garden.
However, the vegans felt obliged to issue a “last warning” after their pleas fell on deaf ears. In the first note, signed by ‘Sarah, Wayne and kids’, they wrote: “Hello neighbour, could you please shut your side window when cooking please? My family are vegan (we eat only plant-based foods) and the smell of the meat you cook makes us feel sick and upset. We would appreciate your understanding.”

This request was ignored.
In their second letter, the family took a different tone, accusing their neighbour of mocking them and being ‘downright rude’. They also claimed their neighbour deliberately caused distress, reports the Mirror.
“I raised my concerns of the smell of meat making my family feel sick and upset and you go and have a barbecue on Saturday night inviting lots of people, and you knew this would affect me and my family.”
The family was taken aback to discover their letter had been posted online, with one member remarking, “My friend Tina told me you took my letter to social media and it backfired on you which is ‘just desserts’.”
The letter wrapped up with a final request: “Please no more BBQs and please keep that window closed when cooking otherwise I’m going to report you and go to social media too.”
Yet again, the letter found its way onto the internet, sparking a divided reaction. One individual lambasted the situation, saying, “This is unbelievable, they want to tell you how to live in your own home,”.
Another countered with a different perspective: “They are both in the wrong! ! It’s such a shame that this is our society now no commUNITY! ! #1 If you’re asking someone to shut their window just shut your bloody own… #2 You can’t tell another person how to live their lives or what to do, you make the changes for yourself. #3 If your neighbour has asked you something kindly that you don’t agree with address it respectfully like an adult.”
