Annoying neighbour…too nice…

Paris2023 · 28/10/2022 14:58

I’m going to get shot down for this one…..but we have a neighbour! Moved in pre-pandemic! And I’m being one judgemental so and so here, everyone loves her but I just can’t stand her!! Well I say everyone I know her adjoining neighbours have had a fall out because they home school their children and the adjoining elderly couple said they’re fed up of the noise all day from there house (kids arguing, kids playing etc etc).

This neighbour regularly asks for stuff on the Street whatsapp (has anyone got X game etc before I go out and buy it for my kids). Or if someone is giving something away she’s on there within 5 seconds saying (I’ll have it, probably running an eBay business on the side). Her kids once made brownies and dropped them round. We binned them! I don’t want your kids brownies thanks!

just now another neighbour has fallen in and said on our whatsapp group that she is poorly - and in jumps in annoying neighbour being super helpful (I’ll come round and help in the house and cook for you).

She had a baby and home schools two children I mean come on, just stop! Stop pretending to be so bloody ‘nice’ all the time cos you’re not. You’re annoying. And stop being so grabby.

done. Waiting to be flamed. Over and out.

You sound delightful and you use way too many exclamation marks. Are you jealous because she’s clearly organised and helpful? She sounds lovely.

Paris2023 · 28/10/2022 15:04

No, there is something off about her. She’s always trying to be nice and no one can be that lovely (or organised!).

Some people have their shit together, I'm jealous.
She sounds nice and helpful tbh. She's just wanting to be friendly and nice to her neighbours.

If she annoys you that much remove yourself from the WhatsApp group.

Otherwise, you sound lovely Grin

blebbleb · 28/10/2022 15:19

You don't have to like her but you sound a bit jealous.

TheFormidableMrsC · 28/10/2022 15:32

You sound delightful OP. What a horrible, bitchy post.

ClaudiaWankleman · 28/10/2022 15:41

You have a neighbour!

The problem sounds entirely on your side to be honest. Yes, it can be annoying that people are very nice. No, it's generally not appropriate to bitch about them.

Paris2023 · 28/10/2022 15:50

Because anything overly in one direction or another isn’t natural. Scam artists are known to be overly nice, there is something fishy going on. The fact their adjoining neighbours have fallen out with them (one a Doctor the other a Teacher) is telling.

retired I should have said so they’re home a lot.

She’s taking and she’s giving back. I’d give her the benefit of the doubt.

I'm confused.
Who is retired?
Who homeschools?
Who is the neighbour who has fallen out with the homeschoolers?
Are the doctor and the teacher the homeschoolers?

The neighbours are retired (they’ve fallen out with nice neighbour)
the annoying nice neighbour bakes brownies and home schools
retired Dr and Teacher are annoyed and fallen out with homeschooling ‘nice’ neighbour.

who interestingly also keep their curtains shut all day (annoying nice neighbour does).

blebbleb · 28/10/2022 18:33

I think you you are bit too invested in your neighbours! Who cares if someone leaves their curtains closed! It's not something I would notice or care about.

Teadrinkingmumofone · 28/10/2022 18:37

You sound horrible really. Jealous?

merryhouse · 28/10/2022 18:47

I expect she's jumped in to volunteer because she knows she's always the first to bagsy cast-offs and sees it as a way of giving back.

Also because she's trying not to alienate any more of the street, having got off on the wrong foot with the retired couple who don't like noise and the weirdo who throws away perfectly good food.

cherrymilkshake · 28/10/2022 18:49

Oh god a neighbourhood WhatsApp sounds horrendous!
And this woman does sound annoying.
I suggest you leave the group OP

bakewellbride · 28/10/2022 18:50

There are plenty of neighbour from hell threads on here op. Perhaps read them for some perspective and realise how lucky you are!

Your neighbour actually sounds really nice btw.

TheDouglasChater · 28/10/2022 18:57

Aren't you a delight?

They're kids ffs. Catch yourself on.

midsomermurderess · 28/10/2022 18:59

I feel tired and a little bit blue just reading that. But then I remembered, feck the begrudgers (!).

StateOfTheUterus · 28/10/2022 19:09

Is feeling this level of venom for someone who sounds harmless helpful for your own mental well-being? You sound a bit scary quite honestly.

BakedTattie · 28/10/2022 19:13

You sound so unbelievably jealous tbh

BobbyBobbyBobby · 28/10/2022 19:16

Where do you get the time to take note of all her actions and the other neighbours by the sound of it?

Try and focus on your own life.

foxlover47 · 28/10/2022 19:21

Wow
A woman I used to work with told me after about a year working together that she used to think I was fake ... because I was so nice
You ever thought that maybe some people are just nice decent people who don't look for aggro and just want to be nice no ?
She sounds lovely and you sound intimidated by her

NoGoodUsernamee · 28/10/2022 19:29

Your post reminds me of the side of my mother I don’t like. Just be nice ffs.

drkpl · 28/10/2022 19:33

She’s the type of person who my dp would hate, because he’s a cynical bastard (but he’s usually right). But type of person I would go “oh nice brownies, she must be wonderful”…and it would take me 3 years to realise the truth.

Make of that what you will.

TheLightSideOfTheMoon · 28/10/2022 19:47

Yeah, she’s obviously a complete cunt - despite evidence to the contrary.

Egg her house.
