    the nextdoor neighbours of mums/dads did a similar thing when they were yapping away with each other outside and saw mum/dad getting new wooden flooring and some rank looking carpet fitted.
    they asked if they coud come and have a look and said they loved it and asked for the fitters contacts.

    it is just a matter of objects,not copying actual identity which is a different issue altogether,unless items are one off exclusives to a person; plenty more people will have them so its hardly a unique expression and many more will like them to.

    the best advice I could find for you on the interweb, lolz

    <3*** Ok it seems like you have a big copy cat on your hands which is annoying as i have experienced. What you need to realise first is that this girl really looks up to you so much so she wants to be you. She needs to find her own and the only way to help her and yourself is separation. If you value her friendship sit her down and tell her how you feel if not stop hanging around her and if she ask why tell her the truth. Simple as****<3<3

    HoPe It HeLpS

    Hugzz




    :DSorry I can't do all those backward letters n'stuff, lolz,<3<30****:D

    That's gone beyond petty to fairly sad! Adults actually give a **** about people copying them? Pathetic!

    This is good sense, they were probably planning on getting new floors,
    had a look at the work your parents got done,
    were impressed,
    got the details of the same lad, having viewed the standard of work he carried out before hiring him.

    Yeah , a friend told me of a guy who bought a new beemer and shortly afterwards his neighbours wife bought a bigger model. Six months down the road the finance company recovered the second one :D You"re wife is a lucky woman that those are the only:D:D "problems" she has

    We actually had random people call to our house one day asking for permission to take pictures of our house as they loved the design and wanted to draw up something similar for their one a few counties away. They seemed really genuine and nice, and alls they wanted to do was take pics (of the outside) so we let them off. :)

    Were their names Marv and Harry by chance?

    Neighbours, everybody needs good neighbours, With a little understanding You can find the perfect blend

    That's when good neighbours become good friends

    Ooh neighbours should be there for one another
    They got the situation, they got me facin'

    I can't live a normal life, I was raised by the stripes
    so I gotta be down with the hood team
    too much television watching got me chasing dreams

    I'm an educated fool with money on my mind
    got my 10 in my hand and a gleam in my eye

    I'm a loc'd out gangsta set trippin' banger
    and my homies is down so don't arouse my anger, fool
    death ain't nothing but a heartbeat away,

    I'm living life, do or die, what can I say
    I'm 23 now, but will I live to see 24
    the way things are going I don't know

    ell me why are we, so blind to see
    That the one's we hurt, are you and me
    been spending most their lives, living in the gangsta's paradise


    Think about it.

    Is the first recorded case of a subtle "We've got an island in our kitchen" brag thread on AH?

    OP, either brake his CTRL and C keys on his keyboard, or put one of these in your driveway. That should get rid of them.

    This is one of the most pathetic things I've ever read. If this is what your wife has to worry about, she must have one brilliant, perfect life. I can't imagine ever giving a fck about something so ridiculous.

    We didnt mind the first one or two things but just so much being copied it was a bit OTT, no just wondering did anyone else have this problem and how they dealt with it


    Ok I get that this "issue" is slightly annoying but if this "problem" is all you have you worry about you really don't have s problem!! Be glad that you dont have a sick child to take care of, or be glad that you are not suffering from cancer. Most of the country are up to their necks in debt and are unemployed. The one good thing about this recession of ours is that most people have taken a step back from the fantasy boom time and taken in what is really important in life! Lack of money and s job will do that for you as notated how bad things become you keep pushing on. It is nice that you and your wife can afford a new home, you are very lucky, this is a trivial problem, one your wife wi have to build a bridge and get over. Remember they will more than likely be your neighbours for sinks longtime,you may need them in the future I.e. house sitting, neighbourhood watch, dog sitting, borrowing items, picking up each others kids when they rip the knees off themselves..... Think of what is important! Good luck!!
