    No. He doesn't need to ask your permission to leave!

    Why would you post where the house is? Hardly that many houses gone sale agreed in ******** is there? If you were close it could take months before they move so let them take care of getting their move organised and then they will have time to say why they didn't let you know, even though to be honest it's none of your business. Fired up?

    Edit

    Maybe it's the time of night talking…

    Edited again

    To remove the location of the house in question after the OP did the same.

    No.

    Why, do you regard your former neighbors as upper lower class ??

    Do you think you should have been informed because you were both of the same religious persyaion

    This is a wind up, right??

    If not, your neighbour is 100% correct to not tell you - given this is how you react!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 730 ✭✭✭eastie17


    had you drink taken OP?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,230 ✭✭✭Buffman


    If you were BFFs or more then from a friendship/relationship point of view it might be rude, but if you are just neighbours then it's not.

    The below is a general 'signature' and not part of any post:

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Public transport user? If you're sick of phantom ghost services on the 'official' RTI sources, check bustimes.org for actual 'real' RTI, if it's on their map it actually exists.

    Time to put childish things aside.


    Neighbours can be strange, even when you're supposedly friends with them. Anyway this one is leaving soon, and'll be all but forgotten about in a couple of weeks.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,106 ✭✭✭✭Del2005


    The only reason why people don't put up "For Sale" signs is if they don't get on with their neighbours, so why should they tell someone that they are selling when they choose not to advertise on their own home.

    Not all "fired up" in the light of day OP?

    Not Your Ornery Onager


    Has your neighbour installed a new patio recently?

    Not your ornery onager



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,505 ✭✭✭phormium


    Nope unless you were particularly friendly with them.

    I have lived in same estate for 35 yrs and have had same neighbours all that time, I wouldn't expect any of them to tell me they were moving and I certainly wouldn't be making a point of telling them unless by chance they walked by when I was packing the van!



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭SupaCat95


    Did you by any chance lend him your lawnmower before he left? If yes then you should be annoyed. I know from previous experience the same thing happened to me, the fucker still tracked me down like the Terminator in T2 wanting his lawn mower back.

    If you feel aggrieved and you feel nobody else can help, maybe you should hire the A-Team.

    Maybe the person didn’t want nosey people to search for information on why they were selling.
    You always this one neighbour that wants to know everything about everyone and tells anyone. When it happens, you give as less information as possible to keep your private life….. provate.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,947 ✭✭✭✭John_Rambo


    I've had a few neighbours move and they'd always drop in to say goodbye or talk about it if we met out on the street… as I did when I left communities. That could be an urban thing where people see each other a bit more and know each other better.

    not really. There could be many reasons and they are embarrassed to talk about it. E.g marriage breakdown , financial difficulties etc



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36 burgerKev


    Moving away?

    Throw a party.

    A nice sendoff.
