AIBU in thinking that if my neighbour doesn't want the rest of us to hear her phone convos she should go inside

[Saltire]

and not sit in her garden talking (sometimes till gone midnight) really loudly?
She was out there twic eyesterday, and when I went out to hang/bring in washing she said in a loud voice "i'll call you back the fucking neighbours are listening again"

[piprabbit]

My neighbour used to stand on her front door step, chatting on the phone.
I never understood why.

[Saltire]

One night she was on the phone till 1am, and I heard every word, as my window was open and she talks really loudly

[BitOfFun]

How rude!

Perhaps you should start shagging on your patio and huff loudly about the peeping tom next door?

[LovelyTinOfSpam]

How did she know the neighbours were listening? I've got visions of Saltire dangling her hearing trumpet over the fence

[colie]

My neighbour does this too but he runs his own business from home (although hear him discussing things not business related). I presume he does it to get a bit of peace and quiet from the kids, so as he can actually hear the phone convo.

It doesn't bother me, not sure how I would feel though if my bedroom wasn't at the front of the house.

Cheaky moo- neighbours eary wiggin again!!

[smokinaces]

I sometimes stand on my front step on the phone of an evening as I like a fag when I have a chat, and I dont smoke indoors - and my portable phone doesnt work in the back garden. I would never say that to my neighbour though!!

[discoball]

I think what you do on your side of the fence is YOUR choice, tough on her part!

[clam]

I think her response says more about her than it does about you. She's a cow. No question.

[differentID]

she is such a cow. Is this the CM neighbour?

[Saltire]

DiffID - yes CM neighbour, the one who ahs caused me and my family s much trouble.
I wasn't ctually listening though, I was bringing in my washing, she assumed I was listening, cos she's a cow!

[differentID]

so she is verbally abusive of you to people outside the situation. Have you kept a log of all the incidents? If tehre are enough, maybe she will be asked to move?
