How do you get on with your neighbours?

AMKC · 15-03-2017 10:58am #1

Me I despise my direct neighbour. They are ignorant stuck up look at me not very friendly people. Its not like I have not tried to get to know them but they are so far up there own arse I am just not bothered anymore. They can,t even close a front door correctly every time they slam it you would think she is trying to bring the wall with her. Just this morning he decides to mow the lawns even do there shorter than a normal persons lawn is but he decides to mow them anyway. Thats her father by the way ye he does everything for her. I would have had no problem if I was not about to go out for me walk to catch a bus actually but because of him not only did I miss the bus but will be late for the film I have booked in the cinema. Most of my other neighbours are nice they will say hello and talk.

Mr. Incognito · 15-03-2017 11:00am

I don't particularly care as I am work all day and out on the weekends.

You seem to have developed an unhealthy fascination with their habits.

Do you write peep out the curtains and write it all down?

I can see how "not bothered you are anymore" alright.

15-03-2017 11:01am

Well holy God!

How did your neighbour cause you to miss the bus and more importantly what were you going to see in the cinema?

Maybe I'm dumb, but how did your neighbours father mowing her lawn stop you from going for a walk or catching a bus??

I get on great with all of my neighbours.

What???? How the hell did they make you miss your bus? Surely that's your own fault?

Cleary the neighbour's father drives the bus.

GBX · 15-03-2017 11:04am

You're not bothered anymore - but come on here to complain about them so I think you are lying OP and you are bothered.

Widdershins · 15-03-2017 11:06am

I don't think people who keep to themselves are stuck up or ignorant, but a simple hello is just manners. My neighbour is a nutter. I'd want a rabies injection before going near him

Pinch Flat · 15-03-2017 11:06am

OP mind me asking, are you 12?

Are you 11 years old and did your teacher tell you to write a short essay about your neighbours for homework?

Winterlong · 15-03-2017 11:09am

By 'Neighbours' do you mean your brother/sister in the bedroom next door? And is their dad also your dad?

Presumably because they had to type up a post on boards about him mowing the lawn, thereby delaying the OP in leaving their own house on time ?

beertons · 15-03-2017 11:13am

All mine are grand. I keep the hedges trimmed on either side of my house, so use their brown bins when mine are full. They don't mind, as I take it all up on their sides.

AMKC · 15-03-2017 11:14am

No I am not 12. Yes I am self conscious of how I look. I am not your everyday boring person. Some people do not get or understand that.
Do I write it all down no I don,t I will admit there was a time when I would peak out through the blinds but that was only because of the constant door slamming. I had actually stopped and was totally not bothered anymore until this morning.
He doe s not drive a bus dn,t know or care what he does for a living but I say he is a pensioner.

Ah here, that is just dying for a joke about trimming your neighbour's bush...

GBX · 15-03-2017 11:17am

Still not making sense of how he made you miss your bus ? Are you Sharon Curley???

Hidden Figures. I suppose because I am self conscious of how I look. I got new Wedges and was going to wear them out but think I will just wear flats now.

You still haven't explained how it was their fault you missed your bus?

The Backwards Man · 15-03-2017 11:20am

My neighbours are mostly animals.

And we have no bus.

Ah OP wear what ever you like. I sometimes wear ankle socks over my tights if my feet are cold. People probably look at me and go "state of her" or they are too busy with themselves to even notice me

Embrace the wedges!!

xabi · 15-03-2017 11:24am

This is getting weird, he made you miss the bus because you didn't want him to see you leave in your wedges?

gramar · 15-03-2017 11:26am

I had to google wedges. They are not a good look OP. Not a good look at all.

They are grand G. A more comfortable alternative to heels

GBX · 15-03-2017 11:30am

Unless of course your a bus driver OP and you shouldnt wear wedges while you drive it and hate the thoughts of being caught out

The neighbour must be in Mossad.

MilesMorales1 · 15-03-2017 11:32am

I don't really talk to them, but we're fairly on fairly amiable terms, no issues to speak of.

So your own vanity caused you to miss the bus. Not your neighbours elderly father.

jester77 · 15-03-2017 11:55am

Mine are great, we regularly hang out, do beers and BBQ's. Play football every week with all the dads from the area.

In the Summer we have a big get together, clear the street, move the cars, put down benches, get our BBQs together, hire some beer equipment and have a big party. Brings everyone together. We also do something similar in Winter but not as big.

Purely from a horticultural point of view. My machine wouldn't go near their gynecol region.

Everybody needs good Neighbours

Your Face · 15-03-2017 12:50pm

The OP sounds like tremendous fun and personally I would like to hear more of these fascinating anecdotes.

sullivlo · 15-03-2017 12:54pm

I'm disappointed that nobody has said they get on like a house on fire.

Although maybe that might plant seeds in the head of the OP.

Never mind.

nelly17 · 15-03-2017 12:58pm

****e - Lazy ***** on the dole Social pays their rent I pay a Mortgage (both houses either side of me)

Maximus Alexander · 15-03-2017 12:59pm

If you'd managed to get out the door without the neighbour's dad seeing your wedges, what would you have done once you got on the bus? Wouldn't the people on the bus have seen them? The shame!

whisky_galore · 15-03-2017 1:00pm

Good walls make good neighbours.

Jack the Stripper · 15-03-2017 1:00pm

Grand one one side but the other neighbour is still raging over my bull breaking out and bulling a few of his cows. The starved Cnut got his cows serviced for free.

Are they the Walls from Crumlin. Yeah I got on great with them before they moved.

If your neighbours are ever annoying you, just remember the golden phrase: 'I'm eating my breakfast, Kate!'

You had to hide your figure preventing you from seeing Hidden Figures.

I like the neighbors either side of my house, salt of the earth

BrokenArrows · 15-03-2017 1:15pm

Rarely talk to them but they seem nice, we're just on different schedules so rarely even see them.

They left an expensive box of chocolates and champagne outside out door for christmas. It was a nice gesture but i would have rather they didnt, basically guilted into buying stuff for them too. haha.

Should be moving into a new house (terraced) soon so that should be an interesting to see what the neighbours are like.
Guy on the left is an old man who keeps a nice garden with flowers etc, so i dont expect any issues with him and havent met the people on the right.

I cant image moving into a house after paying a fortune and having the neighbours from hell. Hopefully not. Atleast our livingroom and bedrooms are on the old mans side of the house so if the right house is a party house them shouldnt cause any issues.

Salt of the earth sometimes means people who drink Dutch Gold in the front lawn.

And sometimes people who drink Dutch Gold on the front lawn are salt of the earth.

Mint Sauce · 15-03-2017 1:22pm

If you wore your flats OP, you might have been able to run for the bus.

Tokyo · 15-03-2017 1:25pm

I live next to a mosque - get woken up by the fajr at 5 every morning. Plenty of busses though, OP.

How do you get on with your neighbours?
