AIBU?

AIBU to be annoyed by message about washing my car

Neighbour has sent me a (second) message asking us when we’re going to wash our car. We ignored the first message.

It’s not muddy or dirty. The alloys are still silver. It’s just dusty because car washes have been closed for months. They’re good neighbours otherwise. AIBU to be irritated and to think I can decide when I want to wash my own car that’s doing nothing to them except sitting outside on the public road (and it’s not parked in front of their house, it’s parked in front of ours).

Omg Grin

What a pathetic loser. I think I’d had to go and knock and tell them I’ve never washed a car in my life and I’m not starting now - however if they like they can do it for me?!

Wow! That’s insane! 😂 keep ignoring. And enjoy how much your slightly dusty car will annoy them.

Q: when are you going to wash your car?
A: well, I wasn’t going to bother but if it’s bothering you that much, knock yourself out but please don’t scratch the paint work!

Cheeky fuckers!

"Hi neighbour, I'm not going to wash my car any time soon. You are welcome to wash it if it upsets you so much."

I would have to ignore that, if only to find out what the third message would say,

Don’t engage, if you do their behaviour will escalate. I would consider blocking them.

Absolutely. Keep schtum and watch neighbourly blood pressure spike.

Is there going to be a drip feed, where it turns out that someone's written No. 32 FOR THE SWINGING PARTY and an arrow pointing at their house in the grime?

That’s actually almost funny with how ridiculous it is; I’d say you have no plans to but they’re welcome to do it for you

Mine is covered in bird shit from my work place. Do you want me to park outside your neighbours house? Grin

This is just the start....

When will you wash your hair?
When will you paint your kitchen?
When will you clean your windows?

It will be fatal if you reply, however tempting it may be to do so.

Post a car cleaning kit through their letterbox and leave bucket on their step, ring the bell and go home.

Perhaps they are offering?

Why the hell does it matter to your neighbours whether you have washed your car or not? Confused
