Nosey Bloody neighbours

    I live around by killakee in firhouse D24. I have such nosey neighbours it's beginning to irritate the fukk out of me. I can't wash the car without them parking their arses at their windows for the whole duration it takes to wash the car analysing what I'm doing. The thought of waxing the car makes me sick as it guarantees constant surveillance by at least two neighbours incl a d!ckhead of an auto electrician living opposite me.

    I cut the grass, sweep the driveway, scratch my head whatever it is I do outside my front door the persistence of this situation is making me want to move and move FAST.

    I'm so aware of it everytime I open the front door it's unreal. I wish I had big pine trees growing all around my house as to stop this invasion of my privacy.

    What are your neighbours like?

    Stop washing your car in hotpants then!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 583 ✭✭✭PandyAndy


    Just stare back at them smile and wave. Don't stop until they look away. And repeat every time they start staring again.

    I live on the fourteenth floor of a tower block, so for anybody to get close enough to be nosey, they'd have to be the human spiderman!

    Next time you are doing it and notice them at their window simply drop everything and stare directly back at them, then it comes down to a battle of wits my friend.

    Wash it in hotpants! Really tight, teeny weeny hotpants. Then bend over. A lot. And continually make a big show of adjusting yourself.

    If that doesn't make them so uncomfortable as to stop staring at you, you've got a bigger problem than just their nosiness. :D

    Maybe their TV is broken??


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 33,762 ✭✭✭✭Princess Consuela Bananahammock


    Go over, knock on the door hand them a ticket and demand a fiver.

    Everything I don't like is either woke or fascist - possibly both - pick one.

    Two people staring each other down across the front lawn shows a decided lack of wits on both counts!

    We have a small camera overlooking a calving pin, that saves my Dad from getting up at 4am to check on a pregnant cow. A device sends the image(&sound) to our TV, 200m away.

    Our neighbour who lives between us announced a few years ago that this is his favourite channel and sometimes just sits watching it. During the day he can hear conversations around the camera.

    Nosey Bastárd!

    Everytime you see them watching you at a task go over and ask to borrow something and dont return it, keep doing it and if they say sorry we dont have what ever it is your looking for ask for something they do own and is in your clear sight. Bet they will stop watching you in plain sight after a few occasions. What age are they btw?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 32,370 ✭✭✭✭Son Of A Vidic


    So your neighbours are always in the window watching are they? Is one of them an elderly lady, always sitting in a rocking chair by any chance?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,680 ✭✭✭mondeo


    It's a lovely day outside so I'm driving to my mates house in abit to clean the car as he has no neighbours :). Luckily I'm only renting this dump of a house and I'll be waving the two finger salute at said irritating gawking bores as I pull out the driveway in a few months time.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,247 ✭✭✭ROCKMAN


    Hi all maybe ye can help me with a little problem.

    Every me or my wife go to open or clean our front window this nosey neighbour is there in his driveway staring OK he pretends to wash his car or cleaning his drive but that 's just an excuse ,
    Its getting worse.... cannot even have a quick chat with my other neighbour (lovely chap works as a auto electrician) without the other lad turning up..

    Its starting to really annoy us...

    ANY SUGGESTIONS


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,332 ✭✭✭Guill


    Knock one off on the front lawn, give them something to talk about.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,680 ✭✭✭mondeo


    Their middle aged individuals. If they were pensioners I would not mind as much but their not. They probably run to put the kettle on as soon as they see me with a bucket and sponge.

    Hi After Hours

    I have a problem with my neighbour across the road, He keeps washing is car but its parked above a live electrical cable jutting out from his driveway. Im an auto electrician. So i know its dangerous,

    I was going to go tell him but he keeps staring back menacingly at me. Looks kinda dangerous so i might leave him be.

    Christ man water and electrics dont mix.

    Next time they're staring at you, fake a heart attack. Would be interesting to see if they come to your aid, or if they just start taking pictures.

    Our neighbour who lives between us announced a few years ago that this is his favourite channel and sometimes just sits watching it. During the day he can hear conversations around the camera.

    Would be understandable if the only other channels he has are RTE :pac:

    The kids next door spy on my and my sister with stupid little kiddie binoculars everytime we go outside for a fag. We can clearly see them because they leave the light on in the room and we can see their stupid little faces up against the window. Whats so interesting about standing outside the front door smoking. Nosey little fcuks.

    I've been living in Tallaght for 20 years and I've never had any problems with nosey neighbors.:confused:

    My neighbours are grand! They cant see us, we cant see them!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,129 ✭✭✭kirving


    Move across the Ballycullen Rd to D16 and you'll get none of that! :D

    I hate this! When I'm looking out my window, through my binoculars, I constantly notice my opposite neighbours peering over and pointing at me. Then, they close their curtains, but, after a few minutes, they pull back the curtains to look over at me and then quickly close the curtains again.

    Creeps me right out.

    :mad:

    When i was moving into my house on a cold dark December night many moons ago,i decided to give the curtain twitchers something to think about

    I knelt down on a mat in the garden and very loudly prayed to Allah for 15 minutes :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,410 ✭✭✭old_aussie
