To be annoyed at our neighbour

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.

Neighbour sounds bonkers.

If a gate door was annoying me from banging the most I would do is knock on neighbours door and ask nicely for it to be closed.

And to find out I was accusing the wrong neighbour I would be mortified and apologising profusely!

YANBU OP.
I hope your neighbour calms down and sees sense soon.

Yanbu sodor your neighbour sounds a bit bonkers. I get that loud noises are irritating but if it wasn't your gate she shouldn't accuse you.

wellthatsucks Well done for apologising for your comment

Sodor's ndn I hope having read the thread you have been around to apologise to Sodor for such unreasonable behaviour.

WellthatSucks as a mother of a very bright, able and lovely girl with dyslexia, I find it massively triggering when somebody patronises another poster for their spelling and grammar - because my dd will have to fend off this kind of nonsense for most of her life. So yes, for me it is a massive huge twat worthy offence

And it isn't just about whether the OP has dyslexia - it is also about irrelevance and being unpleasant. No-one signs up to MN on the condition that they have perfect spelling, punctuation or grammar. That isn't what it is for. Focusing on that instead of what someone says makes you look like a dick.

WellThatSucks · 11/06/2017 22:29

hmc and Trifle I was very much out of order being unnecessarily snarky in my response - agreed and acknowledged previously - but just to clear this up a bit, it wasn't about spelling, grammar, punctuation or anyone's dyslexia.
In this case it was about the confusing nature (to me - my comprehension skills failure) of the post itself. I must have been somewhat dim since clearly everyone else got the gist straight away but I couldn't work out who did and said what to whom at my first reading.
It wasn't to do with irrelevancy either in that I was actually looking for clarification when I posted. Not pleasantly no, that I concede and for that, again, I apologise to the OP.

WellThatSucks should have put it nicer agreed, but unfair to
Say it was clear as i also was very confused by the post, and didn't understand it until someone put a breakdown.

If the person is a mnetter and has been sending you messages, make sure you keep them or atleast screenshot them.
Try not to engage with her, or atleast stay calm if she tries to harass you.
Keep a log, record of any harassment, be it shouting/screaming, phonecalls or messages.

This is all a bit strange TBH.

Trifleorbust · 12/06/2017 07:13

Fair enough.

hmcAsWas · 12/06/2017 07:16

Okay wellthatsucks. No matter - it was good of you to apologise to the OP
