There was definitely a loo shadower. I'm glad others have remembered it because I briefly wondered if it was something that had happened to me irl. I'm rather tired this evening.

I can hear upstairs going for a wee. They can probably hear me fart Blush

BoomBoomsCousin · 18/05/2016 20:21

OMG OP if your downstairs neighbour can hear your farts when you sit on the floor stop sitting on the floor and farting. Can't believe you're calling him weird!

ADishBestEatenCold · 18/05/2016 20:23

You can hear him say "ohh"?

Can you hear every other word he utters?

Are you sure the "ohh" isn't some weird echo-effect in your building ... the echo of your own farts?

leotwist · 18/05/2016 20:25

I suspect that my husband and I ARE the weird neighbours Hmm.

OhBigHairyBollocks · 18/05/2016 20:31

Laughing so hard at this thread Grin

My neighbours probably think I am batshit crazy but there we go Grin

HisNameWasPrinceAndHeWasFunky · 18/05/2016 20:34

Unless you can hear other things your neighbour says, how can you hear him say ooh when you fart? Grin

I thinks it's a brain echo fart. Your brain!

WakeUpFast · 18/05/2016 20:38

I'm laughing so hard at the fact how the OP thinks her neighbour is weird for sighing at her farts 😂😂😂 bless you IDontGetYourProblem 😂

I think we're the weird neighbours. 3 kids, screaming, shouting (mostly me), and I'm in and out of the house all day either walking or in the car. We also have out curtains shut 90% of the time 😆😆

EverySongbirdSays · 18/05/2016 20:39

I have the neighbours that sit in the front garden side by side smoking, day and night, you can't come or go w/o being seen self appointed neighbourhood watch.

One has a lot of dealings with the criminal element, weed etc and by her own admission is perma-stoned.

I have a friend who visited me from abroad and speaks broken English and she said "Tell me Songbird, but is it normal, in England?" and I was like ??

To have a sofa in your front garden

Grin

and I was like no it really REALLY isn't.

Idontknowwhoiam · 18/05/2016 20:47

My neighbour sits in hit car for at least an hour every afternoon and smokes....
He smokes non the house too and his wife can see him from the window so it's not even for a sneaky fag.
I suspect it's to escape from her... she seems a miserable old bat and looks permanently pissed off!

Oysterbabe · 18/05/2016 20:47

Has my neighbour been on yet? I accidently told him I loved him once.

Alohamora · 18/05/2016 20:56

Like a PP I lived in a downstairs flat. My upstairs neighbour knew when I was in the bath and would go into her own bathroom and pee like a horse every single time. It drove me mad and I hated it. It was so bloody intrusive.

InsufficientlyCaffeinated · 18/05/2016 21:00

Neighbour across the road washes & polishes his car after every single time he's been out in it

Mommawoo · 18/05/2016 21:23

We have crazy cleaning couple. They are a retired couple that seem to spend every minute of the day washing something. I know her laundry rota by heart now. Monday- sheets and towels tuesday- curtains and couch covers wednesday- jackets and cardigans. The man performs a full deep clean of his car every 2 days followed by a thorough cleaning of the pavement. He wears thigh length wellington boots to do this. The lady hoses down her balconey and doors every 3 days like clockwork. Their balconey overlooks the parking area and everyday they have a shouted 2 hour conversation with her upstairs on the balconey and him faffing around in the parking lot. They mostly argue over whose turn it is to clean what and why they didnt do it well enough last time.

Mommawoo · 18/05/2016 21:25

*balcony ffs

MistressMerryWeather · 18/05/2016 21:27

That's the kind of dull yet organised existence I long for, Mommawoo.

Mommawoo · 18/05/2016 21:34

MistressMerryWeather really? I think the monotony would kill me. I do secretly enjoy the horrified looks she shoots me when she sees me and dd barefoot on our grubby balcony and the clouds of dog hair that waft from our balcony and make a beeline for her washing Grin

MistressMerryWeather · 18/05/2016 22:03

Yes!

I long to tut at people like you (and me now) as I admire my whiter than white knickers lined up neatly on the washing line.

:o

BillBrysonsBeard · 18/05/2016 22:05

Oh god I'm glad I don't hear my neighbour sigh/comment! Sometimes I fart very loudly while sat on the floor and it reverberates. I hope he thinks it's DP. Wink

alltouchedout · 18/05/2016 22:11

I miss the old couple we used to live opposite a few years ago. The man was paralysingly bored in retirement and was always finding work to do, from a full valet of his car on a seemingly daily basis to sweeping the pavement immediately in front of their house to adjusting a guttering that was wonky by a cm or two, etc. I lu d that for every single task, no matter how small, he got decked out in full overalls and work boots and cap :)

Liiinooo · 18/05/2016 22:18

The people next door had a cockerel for a while. No hens, just the very noisy cockerel. These are very small gardens in a new build development. I don't know whether he eventually died/was eaten or other neighbours complained and he was given away, but I was very happy when he went.

When they first moved in they dug up the front lawn and planted vegetables. Eccentric but not unreasonable, but they never harvested a single veg. Every single thing was left to rot in the ground. I was so tempted to sneak out at night and help myself to a few things.

HisNameWasPrinceAndHeWasFunky · 19/05/2016 03:13

Are you living next door to Abs?

Princesspinkgirl · 19/05/2016 09:31

Sorry op but lol at farts on the floor

NewRags · 19/05/2016 09:51

I'm the weird neighbour - I talk to my plants and flowers Grin

The neighbour to my right has 2 cars and parks right up to the edge of my driveway on both sides - he has plenty of space outside his own house but likes to park right up to my driveway. He has seen me struggle to get out but every day parks that little bit closer Hmm

Other than that he's a lovely chap!

My other neighbour puts her washing out on a sunny day and then leaves it out for about a week even though she's been at home when it started to rain Confused

Felco · 19/05/2016 09:56

Oh come on, if you have downstairs neighbours, it's pretty rude to sit on the floor and fart - I'm assuming you floor-farters are all able to get up and do it in a far less public way? Grin

cranberryx · 19/05/2016 10:05

I'm on Mat leave, and I love watching the comings and goings of the neighbours I'm not nosy, oh no

Two hours opposite us (seperated by one house) are seriously doing a keeping up with the joneses routine. Left house gets cctv and a light, right house does the same. Right down to the same car (juke) a month apart, and the same flower pots. The woman cannot stand each other, they rush in their houses and give each other the eye.

Upstairs come in at 9pm and leave at 6pm, never do washing and never seem to have their lights on. They are a young couple, but I never see the woman. She's just had a baby, like me, I wonder if she has PND. like me

Next door is an Olympic fencer, always takes parcels in for everyone and gives us cake at Christmas. I love him and his family!Grin
