To ask for strange things your neighbours have requested to borrow...

[Mrscropley]

Years ago my neighbour asked if she could borrow some pj's as hers were dirty and she could find spares. . Yeah no problem, nice black satin pair never really wore as always felt like a wet fish wearing them.
Week later asked again - specifying the same ones as he bf liked her wearing them during sex. . Told her to keep them!!

My NDN asked to borrow my ladders to do some window cleaning. I thought it was a bit odd because they had a very reliable window cleaner.

Nevertheless, I lent them. A bit later, the husband emerged from the house topless, propped the ladders against the front of the house and very laboriously cleaned the master bedroom windows. Then he went in the house. After a couple of hours he returned the ladders having not cleaned any of the other window.

I very strongly suspect my ladders were used as a part of a role play sex romp

My house in Mexico...... enough said!

You win eternal

Your story is infamous here

We were once asked for a long ladder as someone's cat was stuck up a tree. They weren't even neighbours, they were from several streets away. Apparently the cat had been missing for several days.

When I told mt neighbour that she couldn't have my WiFi password, she called me selfish and spoiled and said that I was discriminating against her because I gave it out to my house guests.

My ndn asked if they could borrow tweezers which I thought was disgusting odd but I had a cheap set I didn't need. They then put them through my letter box without knocking bent beyond repair! Turns out they needed them for the toaster.

They next day I saw them and just simply said you should have thrown them out, they are useless. two hours later a brand new set came through my letterbox. It's never been mentioned again

Bin liners, washing up liquid and eggs is all I can remember, we used to live next door to a student HMO.

Students next door asked to borrow a set of screwdrivers because one of them had been trapped in his room for hours and they were going to have to take the whole door off.

I'd wondered what the screaming was all about. It did seem noisier than usual.

I pointed out than when I was a student I'd have climbed out of the window and used that access route for weeks and that standards were slipping.

Fish stock and an onion on Christmas Day.

I only had Thai fish sauce but they seemed ok with that!

Not borrowing, but my neighbour once game me half a box of eaten chocolates to say thank you for something I'd done - they went in bin obviously

I asked a manly neighbour to open a bottle of fizz that I couldn't open, I had a friend over and it was all a bit giggly, his girlfriend was visiting him and following that she hated me, glared at me, never asked for anything again.

WeAreEternal I read that post again the other day because it's just unbelievable

Oh forgot - was once asked for a glass of whisky for a religious festival - we had to give them half a bottle because I didn't want them walking around with a glass and they didn't return the rest

My baby. DD about 5 months, to take for a walk with her own dd(11) who wanted a baby sister.

The spoons. Well actually I was the one who borrowed them from the shared kitchen when I was a student. Without asking. And didn't return them because I was too lazy to wash up.

Yeah. My housemates weren't impressed.

Not a neighbour but a weird girl at the gym trying to borrow my kit. My sweaty used kit . I saw her in changing room borrowing trainers off one lady before my spin class. Can back to shower and change and she was telling me how she forgot gym clothes and didn't mind that my kit was sweaty and she'd leave it at the desk. Something was just a bit 'off' (not just my gym gear). I had to really be quite forceful, if I forget my stuff I don't go.

Flea treatment for their cat

Eternal you'll always win!

A 9pm knock on the door in the middle of winter with a request for.... a dinghy.

Not a neighbour but a local dog walker who passes regularly through our land. Her dog had swum out across a tarn to a small island and was refusing to swim back.

Being farmers and not fishermen we weren't in possession of a dinghy so she called mountain rescue instead.

Haha the sex ladder is amazing!

Cornflakes. Because the kids didn't like the cereal they had in.

We grew up on a council estate and between us and our NDN we borrowed many, many odd things. Usually food and would often exchange ('can you lend me some butter?' would be met with 'oh you have bread? Can I borrow some slices?') It was perfectly normal back then and a huge help to each family.

Sex ladders. That name makes it so much worse. We bought the for the perfectly innocent job of repairing the guttering. I feel like they've been sullied and corrupted now.

My NDNs are completely lovely but he's not exactly the "sexy window cleaner accidentally catching me in my raunchy underwear and then coming in for vigorous sex" type of bloke. He's short, balding, pale, tubby with a penchant for model railways.

Dd2's cuddly toy bunny, last week. Neighbour's granddaughter was staying the night and had left her's at home. The granddaughter returned it the following morning with a big smile.
