I need some clarity because I am going flipping mad.
Moved into a new home earlier this year, having some building work done and my builders were being arses when I wasn't around. I knocked on a few doors to apologise and one of the neighbours mentioned there was a street WhatsApp group.
I was immediately sceptical (I like my privacy!) but wanted to apologise to the street without going door to door so asked to join.
What. A. Fucking. Mistake.
The group is full of busybodies taking pictures of "dodgy look men" (read black or brown), cars parked on the street in-front of their houses (this is London!) and other absolute crap.
The moment my building work is done I intend to leave, I know this will ruffle feathers but I'd rather dirty looks in the street then seeing 60+ messages in the morning about "what was that loud noise at 22.20???" or "can anyone borrow me a car permit for my guest?"
AIBU to think that life was so much better when your neighbours didn't have your mobile phone number/constant access to you?
If you want me, knock on my door!
