to think this is not right

[charleneanna]

ok my friend is a 20 year old single parent with a baby she is or was quiet happy in her flat until the other day, we were at hers and we heard some noise so we looked out of her window and the shop underneath her that had been empty for some time was open and a couple of freezers were being taken in so i said well maybe its gonna be a frozen food shop that would be brilliant but then yesterday the sign went up above the shop omg atwells after life its a bloody funeral directors now dont get me wrong they are needed but surely not a shop below a flat in a residential area my friend is now that terrified at going to bed above dead bodies that she has begged me to let her and baby spend the night at my house but my house is already overflowing sorry but this is notnright

Nice one

I hate when you live in a haunted house when you're 12 and it's terrifying and then you're 20 and you live in a flat with your baby and you think a frozen food shop is opening which would be brilliant but it's not it's a funeral directors all full of dead people and you have to sleep above them and you can't even stay with your friend because her house is overflowing.

It's soooooo not right!

redstorm - I laughed :o.

MrsDeVere - living next to a comic book guy shop would be amazing. I'd absolutely love it - just think of the quality people-watching you could do. But Hollisters - I'm with you. The smell of the cheap scent would be overpowering and I'd feel old and angry every time I left home. On the plus side, no light pollution.

I think I feel a very rare LOL coming on at Rachelwalsh.....

Nobody's really taking the piss. This is AIBU, and the general consensus is that she's being silly. There are a lot worse shops that could be opening.

Not many adults actually believe in ghosts/woo/zombies/vampires, so what did you expect?

Hahahaha an Oh Fuck Rucksack! Oh dear that's proper made me giggle.
The zombie plan must be before my time, but I Love the naming of the items.

well, maybe truthfully if it were just me living there (or here in my new house) and no other adults yes I might be a little scared. Yes, hand on heart I can say that. So, if it is not a joke thread then I apologise for being insensitive.

But still going off to watch property porn now.

How do you know its a genuine fear?
Sounds like a pile of old toss to me.

I am scared of ugly fuckers with staffies and their bums hanging out of their jogging bottoms... shud i move?

Thanks Hassled.

I do believe in ghosts though. Mainly because I lived with one. (I was a very avid conributer o all the MN ghost threads under another name...)

I sincerely doubt they store bodies in chest freezers like wot you get in Iceland, so I'm going to give this wind up a big fat raspberry.

This is the second thread I've seen here on this topic this week... Tbh her new downstairs neighbour is a better option than a kebab shop, bar, brothel, pet shop, bookies, offy, butchers, anything that involves deliveries from massive lorries, you get the idea - also better than some of the neighbours I and my nearest and dearest have had while living in purely residential blocks. (I lived above a really shite amateur dj in my last place, he replaced the guy whose friends used to come over and beat each other up, and the ex had an upstairs neighbour who was so noisy that when an earthquake hit the town we thought it was just her) Seriously, I can see why she might not like the idea so much, but assuming it's a reputable business there's not a whole lot to worry about. They tend to go out of the way not to show the neighbours anything. She might see the odd hearse or coffin but you tend to also see those on the roads...

well thank you restorm rising no its not a joke thread and i feel so sorry for my friend

Maybe Nate Fisher might move in to be chief funeral director. See, every cloud.

DH used to live in a house belonging to a funeral director - the "shop" was next door but they sort of used the house a bit as well (was an odd set-up)

sounds like '6 feet under'!!!

My DH is a funeral director. The only harm he has suffered is a knackered back !!!

A bit of thinking alike there nelda!!

I've been waiting for days for a funny thread .
I'd rather live above a funeral parlour than a pub, they're at peace.

spud does your DH keep bodies in chest freezers?

Great minds and all that...

Must be a bargain basement Nate Fisher mmmmm Nate Fisher what with the chest freezers and all.

Ooh I'd love to live above a pet shop quacks but then maybe I'd feel sorry for the pets and end up having to buy them all...

I used to live above a dry cleaners. They were always leaving the caps off their cleaning fluid (or something, I'm not sure of the technicalities) and I'd have to call the fire brigade for the fumes...

Seriously, the living are so much more hassle than the dead. I used to live in a flat above a parade of takeaways and a couple of shops, including a florist. The takeaways would shut after and the florist would rock up at about 6 or 7. I would have loved a nice, quiet undertaker as a neighbour.

Plus, she will be totally in there if she ever wants to pull a goth.

there were 2 large freezers taken it we just thought that was what was all in this large van we didnt look out the window all afternoon so we dont know what else was taken in but we could hear the van being unloaded for at least another half hour
