My neighbours sit in their garden from 10am until 9pm in her pjs. I think they’re married. Around early 30’s. The woman doesn’t work (ever since I moved here years ago) the guy is at home at the mo with all this Covid. They don’t have any kids and she is always bossing him around and doing 90% of the talking from What I overhear.

I just find it strange.

Why is it strange. What would be acceptable to you.

It's really none of your business as long as it's not impacting on you @Allsorts2020

What’s strange about it? Confused

None of your business. You don't know anything about their situation.

That is a long time to sit in the garden for. What are they doing?

Sitting in the garden 11 hours a day. Also that she doesn’t go to work. Bossing her husband around. Previously I’ve seen him come home from work and straight into the garden to cut the grass and she sits on a stool watching him... she watches him paint the fence. He puts the bins out every week. She seems to do nothing

@Allsorts2020 she could be disabled and not able to do this herself... I really don't get why your so invested.

I think it’s strange you’re so invested in your neighbours.

@ birthdaybelle just talking. Usually just hear her chatting and him agreeing.

Maybe she has an invisible illness?

Lol I’m not invested. It’s just something Ive noticed. She seems able bodied to me but yeh she could have an impairment that’s not obvious I suppose. Seems pretty vocal when it comes to moaning about parking

So is her husband in her pj's? Maybe he's cold. Or are they both in her pj's? Lucky woman. And does he wear her pj's when he puts the bin out?

And gets hostile if anyone parks by her house.

You are invested. You posted to chat about it on here😂

She could have an illness. Something comfortable would explain the PJs, same for the sitting outside I know then FIL was very ill with cancer the only place he felt comfortable was in a certain chair in a certain part of the garden.

Yep, you are invested. You watch them, listen to them to know exactly what they’re talking about and their movements and then post about them on the internet.

That’s not normal behaviour; you’re intrusive and strange.

It's fun to have strange neighbours anyway.

To be fair, I'd find it odd if two people were sharing one pair of pyjamas.

Why dont you just start a thread saying 'reasons I dont like my neighbour'

Its not that you 'just find it strange'

I live in pjs/ lounge wear and don’t have a job. I have an invisible illness, which I’m not about to start telling my neighbours about.

Maybe they have a dominant/submissive relationship and get off on her bossing him around. I love a bit of neighbour watching

If my neighbours were both wearing one pair of pyjamas I’d find that strange. Maybe they’re just ahead of the curve and saving the planet?
