Neighbour has just driven away in disguise...

and I am trying to think what on earth she might be up to.

She is mid-50s, medium length brown hair, glasses, always wears black. Divorced, lives with late-teen and adult daughters. Has dogs.

She's just zoomed off wearing a light pastel coloured top, a short blond bob and sunglasses. I'd have thought it was a completely different person if it hadn't been her car and she did the 3-point-turn she needs to do to get out of our cul-de-sac in exactly the way that she always does (I see this out my kitchen window so I am aware of every single neighbours' turning/driving style). The nose/face was also her (from what I could see of it).

What can it possibly mean?!

Fancy dress party as a 1950s housewife?

or she’s secretly a PI and is off to catch a cheating b***d😉😉

MissMoneyFairy · 09/06/2025 17:52

Maybe she's trying to fool her nosy net twitching neighbour

Soonenough · 09/06/2025 17:53

Off dogging? 😁

Talltreesbythelake · 09/06/2025 17:53

Mandela effect. No one will remember her as anything other than blonde. You will never find out what happened!

Well, maybe she's just decided on a change and has chopped and bleached her hair, and decided to change her dress sense because her previous black didn't work as well with the new look? I mean, I think it's way weirder that you think someone is in disguise because they had changed their hairstyle and were wearing a different colour top.

She’s just realised that despite the weather trying to fool us, it really is June and she’s had a summer makeover.

TheNightingalesStarling · 09/06/2025 18:03

Its her identical twin sister borrowing her car

FutureCatMum · 09/06/2025 18:03

She’s been to the hairdressers and bought a summer outfit, in June! What a scandal! 😂

HÆLTHEPAIN · 09/06/2025 18:05

She’s off to a fancy dress party or she’s into amateur dramatics?

slinkiemalinkiey · 09/06/2025 18:14

She's following her husband in disguise based on some advice on MN 😂

timestressed · 09/06/2025 18:21

She is testing new chsrscter for her upcomimg crime novel.

Crunchymum · 09/06/2025 18:25

She's trying to allude the neighbourhood nosy parker.

wordywitch · 09/06/2025 18:25

She’s had her colours done 😄

Annascaul · 09/06/2025 18:27

It’s a bit ridiculous to think someone having had an image makeover is “in disguise” 😂

littlefireseverywhere · 09/06/2025 18:28

She's a private investigator and is following a 'mark'.

She wants to use the 2+ lane and have plausible deniability?

NestEmptying · 09/06/2025 18:33

She's in an am dram production of Grease and is playing Sandy.

ginasevern · 09/06/2025 18:36

She's a spy - not a very good one.

NuffSaidSam · 09/06/2025 18:40

She's found a new love and has got a new lease of life.

Or she's been featured on an episode of Crimewatch and needs to lay low for a while.

spicemaiden · 09/06/2025 18:40

MYOB?

KateShugakIsALegend · 09/06/2025 18:42

Fancy dress party or heist.

I am going heist.

PomeloOud · 09/06/2025 18:42

Maybe she’s got a nosy neighbour and is trying to confound her?

TomatoSandwiches · 09/06/2025 18:43

She's seeing if blondes have more fun.

TheFormidableMrsC · 09/06/2025 18:44

Are you the same poster who thought her neighbour must be having an affair and you wanted to tell her husband?
