What would you do if you thought your neighbors were talking about you in their garden?

My neighbours have lived in their house for years before we moved in. They’ve actually been quite rude to us from the beginning, making us feel uncomfortable because we were “new”. They spend quite a lot of time in the garden and whenever I’m in mine I think they talk about us. I’m never 100% sure, they never approched me directly, but I think I’ve heard things like “turn your phone down” when my mobile rang, “shut up, f*..g door” when I was closing the garden door etc.
What would you do? It’s been 2 years aince we moved in and tbh I’m just sick of it, I feel like they are trying to tell what we can or can’t do in our own garden. We’ve never had any party, loud music or anything that could be disruptive.

I'd do nothing. Live your life and ignore them. Twats.

I agree, I'd ignore them.

I'd try to ignore them. They sound a bit strange if they're addressing themselves to inanimate objects such as doors and phones.

Pop your head over the fence and say sorry, were you talking to me? Every time they do it

Give them something to complain about. Get a cockerel! Or go mad and get a few hens as well?

Thanks for your advice! I’m really tempted to go for a cockerel or a hen lol :)

My neighbours blatantly do speak about us, not even just in their garden but shouted loudly in the small lane we live on.

‘Having to listen to that dirty whore next door’ was belted over the fence on Saturday morning, I can only assume because they’d heard me and husband having sex.

I ignore them mostly until I’m confronted with having to speak to the council regarding their endless complaints.

It’s a hassle but I try and see the positives;

If we want to have loud guests, I wouldn’t have to worry about them at all (not that we do)

I am free to come and go without incessant conversation like some deal with from neighbours, which I would find more difficult.

Yes they are awkward, horrible, passive aggressive and generally awful. But I LOVE my home and they can’t really affect that.

Just find your bubble and don’t let those fuckers burst it.
