To think we should have been invited for a glass of wine? (lighthearted)

[darksideofthemooncup]

To set the scene, we live in a small Mews development of 10 houses that all face a central carpark. We had a note through the door that one of our neighbours was planning on holding a party to celebrate their daughter's 16th birthday.
I saw the dad today and he said that it wasn't going to be a raucous affair and a mixture of teens and adults but that it would spill out onto the parking area as they don't have a garden.
I said that we would park our cars elsewhere to give them more room and he smiled and nodded and said that would be great.
It sounds like they are having a lovely time but what I want to know is why we weren't asked if we would like to drop in for a glass of wine??
I've already been to the bins 3 times but NOTHING

Totally unreasonable. Several glasses of wine would be polite recompense for being so neighbourly.
But then you'd have to buy a birthday present. and socialise with a bunch of 16 year olds

Ah yes the 16 year olds....but this is the most exciting thing to happen in the 5 years we have lived here, I still have two (nearly 3) empty wine bottles to take to the recycling though AND I could go and call the cat in....

Every one will be pissed by now - just go out and join in

Gosh! What rotten neighbours you have! 3 times you have been out and they still have not recognised the stench of your desperation! Move house immediately! LTB's!

I suggest you move to a more exciting area where police raids are a regular occurrence and you can be entertained by the druggies etc. Your life sounds very boring if this is the most excitement in five years. I do feel very sorry for you. Life sucks sometimes.

Tis the Shires Grapejuicerocks the most exciting thing to happen is when people drive their cars through floods and have to abandon them. Which happens every single winter. Without fail.

oh HANG ON. Someone parked their car in front of the bin store last week so the bins couldn't be collected. That caused quite a stir I can tell you.

I'll swap with you.

Last night a drunk driver crashed into our neighbours car, around 11pm. This shunted forward into another, then another.

So 4 cars all together.

About 6 months ago joy riders managed to crash through our garden wall

I bet it will finish at 12pm as promised on the note too, they are all being remarkably well behaved, not one crying girl being told 'he's not worth it' by 20 mates or anything. There is a lot of duck face selfies happening though

No discarded beer cans? No need to ask them to "calm it down"?

That's not a party! No wonder they didn't want to invite you, they knew you'd lower the tone...

Well I did find out earlier that we have friends in common, so that might explain it

Oh FFS, I have just been out in the back garden and the Tennis club behind us is having a karaoke night! My other (rather staid) neighbours will be moaning about tonight for weeks
