New neighbour is too much. What to do?

[WiseBearOrMare]

Moved in 48 hours ago.

Knock on the door within 10 minutes of arriving with the first load of boxes.

Neighbour said (something along the lines of) ‘Hi! I’m Sue from Number 9. So where have you travelled from? Where are you working at the moment? Where’s the kids, do you have any?’

All asked within seconds of each other. Seemed quite intrusive for a first meeting.

I realised straight away that she’s not my immediate neighbour that’s attached to me because of the door number. I live in a semi detached, just one other house. She actually lives across the road, a little to the right. New build housing estate so all quite close

Anyway, we were pressed for time because of DS/DD so we had to get moving. 2 hours later, she knocks again saying she’s got pizzas on the way. And to pop round for a break

I politely said thank you but I couldn’t possibly, I desperately needed to get things finished for today. She said ‘Okay raised eyebrow. Suit yourself!’ And off she went.

That evening a piece of paper with the estate’s WhatsApp group number came through. I added myself. She then must’ve got my number from that and messaged me

She said ‘Getting you a moving in gift. Anything you fancy? Preferably Amazon! I’m a Prime girl me haha’

I politely declined and said we had all we needed, but she was too kind and thank you so much. She just blue ticked that

Hours later I waved to her with a smile, and she gave me a glare and ignored me. I was packing my boot up and she made me bloody jump! She asked me if I had anyone in my phone contacts that does plumbing. I said I didn’t. The said Oh. And then said ‘We help each other on this estate. That’s just how it is’

I’ve just had a delivery man turn up at my door with a bunch of flowers. With my name on.

5 mins later, a delivery man from somewhere else asking if I’d take in a parcel for her number?! Seems strange. Why didn’t he try a direct neighbour first?

My actual neighbours have just smiled a hello and that’s been that. They’re the complete opposite and seem a bit shy, thankfully!

Small estate of about 20 houses max I think. But everyone I’ve made eye contact with has just given a smile, maybe a friendly wave and hi. That’s it

Is she just overly nice and innocently overstepping the mark? Or is this going to bring an ongoing nightmare?

Oops. Mistake post. .

Me being me i have no filter and im very blunt and would say the following.

Thanks but i dont know anyone here yet and want to keep it that way so if you dont mind please ignore me as i will ignore you mind your own business and fuck off.
Smile and walk away.

If the above dont work just say look lady i dont want to go back to prison yet piss off before you make that happen.

Wow x1000

😂 I fucking love this place sometimes!

😂 Brilliant! 👏

That'll be it. Bettaware seller.

We have a woman like this....... she's a great starting point when introducing yourself to the normal neighbours!!!!

Next time you see her tell her you are a Jehovah's witness and you will call round soon...
Bet she leaves you be...

She’s fucking mental.

Now this is unhinged. In normal places neighbours help with cat sitting, parcels, bin collections, smiley waves from cars, chats about families, recommendations for trades (not always great by the way). It's a community. I do live in a village to be fair, but even so. Prison threats - you are just a wierdo.

I misread this as “her furry” 😂😂😂

Furries and their passion!

Never mind she’s a Prime girl, you’ll soon be the plot of a Prime miniseries 😱

Ask her if she's found Jesus then offer to douse her in holy water.

OK so she's probably abit lonely and just trying to be welcoming and nice . Gosh op just return a few nice thank yous and explain you had alot on and then go on your way. Tbf she went out of her way to get extra pizzas for you maybe so will be put out from trying to do a kind thing. Just thank her next time for it.

Leave the WhatsApp group, refuse to take her deliveries and if you must when you see her pretend to be on your phone, ignore until she takes the hint.

Oh dear. A relative has just moved to an estate like this. I would absolutely hate it. . I’m sure your
other other neighbours have been there and can advise.

Is this some sort of satire?

If not, you sound more unhinged than the OP's new neighbour.

I was just about to say that! Get a load of Warchtowers and offer them at every opportunity. Invite her to the meetings and she’ll soon back off.

Don’t do it! You will never ever, ever get rid of her, and even if you do try to appease her, she will still go crazy on you at some point!

Ask her if she's found Jesus

^ This. 😂

I am howling with laughter now 😂

It's doable OP, I managed to stay out of our road's covid whatsapp group.
Suddenly everyone was best friends, having socially distanced drinks on the road etc, they've now gone back to ignoring each other as they fell out.

You've reminded me of a beautiful flat with gorgeous views I lived in, except, I had the curtains shut, music down and had to peer out first if venturing out.

Everyone minded their own business bar one, she'd never walk past my door without knocking and I was forever hiding in my own home.

I guess if you've experienced bad neighbours, it's hard to be trusting.

Glad you got shot of her, I moved too and the joy of open windows and doors is someone I'll never take for granted again.

If she did find him, he probably had to move house afterwards.
