To think I live opposite some really daft people

Aerated woman's just come to the door

"I'm on the phone to the police yeah, there's smoke coming from your house, you're alright, yeah"

Me: "er yes, (pointing) that's a chimney. When you light the stove smoke comes out"

Her: "yeah, but it's fire innit and I've called the police now"

Me: "ok. Fire produces smoke yes, but it's a stove and it's meant to"

Woman wanders off shaking head and speaking into phone to police "it's a stove, not fire"

Confused

Make sure you let the new people know what happened. And ask them to log on and keep us in the loop!

This is amazing.

Hilarious. Another vote for classics.

Toadinthehole · 06/10/2013 22:03

Please OP knock on her door and ask if she's OK.

ClaraOswald · 06/10/2013 22:10

A bit dim? That's being overly polite, isn't it?

Lj8893 · 06/10/2013 23:45

Hahaha this is brilliant!

Perhaps the police asked the fire brigade to go to hers to give her a lesson in fires?!

ScarerStratton · 07/10/2013 00:38

Err yes, could you please make sure your buyers are on Mumsnet. In fact, this is imperative.

oldnewmummy · 07/10/2013 01:36

You beat me to it - I was just about to say can you ask the buyers to update us :)

differentnameforthis · 07/10/2013 03:51

Err yes, could you please make sure your buyers are on Mumsnet. In fact, this is imperative

Agreed. If they are not on MN, you must leave strict instructions that they inform us of any further madness created by this woman!

Daft but helpful

Best thread for ages. You know that if you request an ambulance you can tell them it would be best to send a specialist MH/Psychiatric team don't you Grin. She sounds more unwell than daft to me to be honest.

fryingpantoface · 07/10/2013 08:39

Did she come back?

WaitMonkey · 07/10/2013 09:37

Is this actually true ? It's amazing. Best thread ever. This has to go in classics. Does your buyer look like she could be on here ? Please say yes. Grin

BehindLockNumberNine · 07/10/2013 12:50

Thank you for the clicky photo Smile

That is just brilliant, I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall when daft neighbour was explaining to the firemen what the problem was. And I would love to have heard their reply to her!!

I hope you bump into daft neighbour once more before you move out!

LilRedWG · 07/10/2013 22:37

Any further neighbourly news?

FruOla · 08/10/2013 09:35

Laurie, you must light another fire in your stove before you move .... please Grin
