to think our neighbour is spying on me through a wall?

We live in a semi but a semi that backs onto another house, so our entire back wall is another house's entire back wall IYSWIM. So upstairs we share a wall on our bedroom, the landing and our bathroom.

The only noise I ever hear from their house is that noise of a pull switch light cord. And the only time I ever hear it is just after I go to the bathroom at night before I go to bed. Whatever the time. I never hear it before or after. Without fail it is just after I leave the bathroom. I go to bed at very random times (DH works away...). it could be 8pm, it could be 1am. Whatever time it is, I always hear that cord go within 20 seconds of me leaving the bathroom...

Uuummmmmm AIBU to think I might be being spied on..??!!! How do I find out for sure?!!

I think we have to assume that gnocci is now down a well in neighbour's basement, a la Silence of the Lambs.

Shall we call the cops?

Pedigree · 19/07/2012 17:52

I think she is trying to scare us for scare her in such way. (and rightly so Blush)

stealthpenguin · 19/07/2012 18:09

Oh my god, her last post was Friday 13th and we've heard nothing since - her NDN must therefore be Jason Vorhees! It all makes sense now... except not really

quoteunquote · 19/07/2012 19:58

Didn't gnocci say her husband was away a lot,

maybe he's some sort of international criminal, it was FBI spying on gnocci, to see how involved she was,

She is now being interrogated somewhere, muttering pom bears due to truth serum.

that's my entry for the conspiracy theory competition, what ever happened to gnocci.

50ShadesOfGreggs · 19/07/2012 20:24

All jokes aside, I am actually getting a bit worried here.

What if gnocci's neighbour really IS a psycho, who really WAS spying on her, and she really has been kidnapped?

SoozyWoozy · 19/07/2012 20:49

26 pages and no conclusion??!!

What happened next?!

Babylon1 · 19/07/2012 22:32

Oh bloody 'ell 50shadesofgreggs you don't really think so do you??? SadSad

I am a little worried, especially knowing mr gnocci works away Sad

Babylon1 · 19/07/2012 22:34

I'm on my phone so can't search, but can anyone check gnocci's postings and see if there's anything since Friday 13th???

laurenamium · 19/07/2012 22:39

She didn't leave a jam sandwich Sad

IamtheZombie · 19/07/2012 23:10

She made a few posts on the 15th. Nothing since then.

Mamamaiasaura · 19/07/2012 23:11

She might be having the baby! Smile

All this waiting reminds me of the fabric squares with the wedding invite , and the one where the DH went to NY on business and then hiking in the hills out of phone contact. Took ages to find out everything was fine

pixwix · 20/07/2012 00:21

Jesus! does she have a patio?

sparkybabe · 20/07/2012 08:37

Oooh yes the baby! She went into labour while locked in the bathroom and the neighbour called the ambulance cos he could see she was in labour! He is now in custody trying to explain how he knew, and she is staying in hospital as long as poss to use their loos in private.

DancesWithSockPuppets · 20/07/2012 14:23

Congratulations Gnocci! Unless you are actually down a well, in which case Wine.

MrsJREwing · 20/07/2012 15:09

I hope you are ok, op.

valiumredhead · 20/07/2012 15:11

STILL nothing? Sad

quoteunquote · 20/07/2012 15:15

my second entry for the conspiracy theory competition is,

This thread was a reverse thread, Gnocci is in fact a dodgy neighbour spying on a MN and wanted to see what the reaction would be.

Pinot · 20/07/2012 15:51

So this was all a wind-up then?

valiumredhead · 20/07/2012 15:53

Don't think so pinot, why do you say that?

Pinot · 20/07/2012 15:55

Bit of dripfeeding and then a disappearing OP...?

valiumredhead · 20/07/2012 15:57

Oh! you cynical old thing Wink

quoteunquote · 20/07/2012 15:58

I doubt it, Gnocci is probable otherwise occupied,

or the click she kept hearing was something to do with the door handle to the bathroom starting to malfunction, and she is now trapped in, confidant in the knowledge MN will of worked this out and summoned help.

third entry.
