Neighbour mocking me?

113 replies

I live in a semi detached and can hear my neighbour repeating what I say in a mocking tone.

This afternoon my husband was upstairs and shouted down to me, I said “what are you talking about” and then heard my neighbour say “what are you talking about” or when I laugh I can hear them repeat it in the same tone.

It’s getting boring now. Aibu?

You must be incredibly loud.
Or live in very low quality attached housing.

What classes as low quality attached housing?

My house was built in 1890.

you're too loud

stop bellowing at each other up and down the stairs and wait till you're in the same room before speaking! It's rude to shout out to someone in another room, never mind the neighbours!

This ^

They're mocking your loud voice not what you're saying

Passive aggressively tryingtoget you to quieten down

Maybe you have an echo.

It’s a passive aggressive way of pointing out they can hear you…maybe you are being too loud?

VexedofVirginiaWater · 09/03/2025 17:53

Do you ever hear them? If so do the same back. If not, as pp say, it sounds as though you are very noisy and this is their (childish) way of dealing with it.

Has anyone else heard them?

Bluenotgreen · 09/03/2025 17:49

You must be incredibly loud if they can hear you that clearly.

I think they are trying to tell you how annoying you are…

Mwnci123 · 09/03/2025 17:47

I would say they are venting about noise levels rather than mocking you.

angelikacpickles · 09/03/2025 17:46

Do you know them? Why would they be mocking you? Are you being very loud or are your walls paper thin?

Seeline · 09/03/2025 17:46

Have they got a pet parrot?
