AIBU?
To be annoyed at our neighbour
sodorisland · 11/06/2017 13:53
Dh was away playing football the morning. He came home. Less than 5 minutes later we had our neighbour screaming and shouting through our front door to close the fucking gate.
She means the back gate which we dont share its our own garden. It was also closed.
My husband said it was so she was screaming i was upstairs the door was closed so very loudy it wasnt.
She then stormed through her house out the back i can only imagine to try and prove us wrong but stopped.
She procceded to call my dh lazy and say it was open banging all night.
She wouldnt listen when dh was trying to explain it wasnt our gate as its locked at night.
Never had a bad thing to say about her from us but the other neighbours had eggs thrown at them from her and her dd (was meant to be a joke) the 60 year old neighbour certainly never took it as one.
Aibu to be annoyed and pissed off at her when we have a 6 and 2 year old in the house.

As my comment above will ultimately be deleted by Mn towers, in case anyone subsequently reading the thread is left wondering, I was unleashing a bit of well deserved invective on Wellthatsucks
Op - your neighbour sounds quite a handful. Not sure what to advise - she doesn't sound like a reasonable person....

Wellthat it's not that difficult to pick through. Why post if you can't be helpful?
To summarise:
Sodor's DH came home today and the Nextdoor neighbour started yelling at him about their back gate. Her complaint was that it was banging all night long.
She was so loud *Sodor+ could hear her from upstairs through a closed door.
Mr Sodor tried to explain that their gate is always locked but neighbour wouldn't listen.
They've never previously had issues with this particular neighbour but she has form for anti-social behaviour including throwing eggs at an elderly neighbour as a "joke".
Sodor I'd give her a while to calm down and then go round and calmly explain (again) that it wasn't your gate.
Don't yell or get angry. She's completely out of line but it sounds like she was kept up all night by someone's gate.

To Sodor's ndn: YABVU. Yes, banging gates are bloody annoying but you catch more flies with honey. Maybe catch your breath, have a cup of tea and apologize to Sodor, eh?
Sodor would be well within her rights to call the police if you keep harassing her about this, particularly in such an aggressive manner.

how about working out which gate was actually banging, neighbour?
have a wee bit of sense! if it wasn't Sodor's, look around to see who does have a gate open, then ask NICELY for the gate's people to shut it.
oh and WellThatSucks, weren't you ever taught to say nothing if you can't say something nice?
(I'm wondering if you're the neighbour)
Sodor don't hesitate to call police if she does anything at all. Don't put up with harassment or further threatening behaviour

My apologies, OP, I hadn't had much coffee when I first read your post and found it more than a bit confusing and didn't have the patience to unravel it.
On rereading no, not my finest MN moment, but hmc was it really 'massive huge twat' worthy? A 'bit dickish' or 'arsey' maybe but not 'massive huge twat'.
wornoutboots No, not the neighbour, because presumably the OP has reported the neighbour to MNHQ for the abusive messages and if it were me I wouldn't be here would I.
