Neighbour

I was putting out some recycling and I could hear my neighbour on the phone. I heard her describe me as ‘unfriendly’ they have just moved in a few weeks ago. This has annoyed me! I’m not unfriendly at all.. I say hello when I see them and return footballs that land in the garden.. told her kids they’re welcome to just come in and retrieve said footballs via side gate. When they were in the process of moving in the caused chaos as we’re having loads of work done and they kept parking in front of our driveway.. I did once ask them to stop drilling after 10pm?? Maybe it’s that?? Chat

Are you sure she was talking about you? Just ignore. You werent ment to hear it so let it go in one ear and out the other. You know you are friendly. What she thinks is on her. Some people just like drama when there is none. Keep being you and doing what you are doing with footballs and whatever. You need to live next door to her. For everyone's peace i would pretend i didnt hear (whilst internally thinking what a cheek of her lol).

You were eves dropping - of course you aren't going to hear anything nice!

More likely than anything she's probably stressed from the move, and seeking support from the person at the other end of the line (which doesn't sound forthcoming), have you actually spoken to eachother?

You're going to be neighbours, just carry on being neutral and see whether drama from her side follows - I wouldn't rush in being friendly to someone who casts aspersions.

Well if they are parking in front of your drive (presumably blocking it too?) and they are drilling after 10pm, then its fair to say that your NDNs are fucking cunts.

I wouldnt be exchanging pleasanties with wankers like that.
