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!!

Our neighbour once asked if we had any cream. They were having lobster, and thought the cream would finish it off nicely.

Some standard things like a car seat, ice packs, books.
More weirdly, my floor 'sorry but so dd can throw up somewhere indoors, I don't know what to do'
She lived next door.
And once, a neighbour asked if she and her boyfriend could borrow Anaïs Nin's Delta of Venus for the weekend, as she thought that it would spice things up. She actually returned it and it was bent out of shape and stuck together.

My neighbour came with her three kids, each holding out a toothbrush, to borrow toothpaste.

Our neighbour has come round before to get DH to open a bottle of prosecco

Saddest story was the child I taught who used to knock on every door down her street to ask for one potato - if everyone helped she had enough to make chips for her and her four siblings. Luckily a neighbour of hers rang school and we were able to let her social worker know.

Mine asks for things almost daily. List includes:
Foil
Eggs
Bin bags
Bolognese sauce and then 5 minutes later, the mince to go with it 😒
Lettuce
Washing powder
Nail vanish remover
'Cook in the bag' oven bags

You get the idea... i'm her local Tesco

Also, my washing machine and tumble drier!

Plus dyson.

Honestly, don't know what she'd do with me

I've cadged potatoes from a neighbour before!!!

When we had students living next door, one pancake day they knocked asking to borrow a frying pan to make pancakes with. I thought it was quite sweet and happily gave them an old one I was due to get rid of.

Our neighbours have 'borrowed' quite a few food stuffs from us at various times- a piece of cucumber, some cream and some balsamic vinegar spring to mind. But then we quite often trot across the road to each other's houses with slices of cake if either has been baking, or bowls of soup if we have made too much. We use their sprinkler and they often ask us to print stuff.

When first married, i bought dh a fancy snow shovel for Christmas. Ndn accused dh of STEALING his! ....and using in front of the ndn?

My NDN took my then DP, she didn't ask though 🤔 he also wasn't returned, thank god 😃

My friend lives a few doors along. We're always swapping stuff. I'll give an onion and she'll give me a tin of tomatoes for example. It's fantastic having a friend in the street. Don't have same relationship with any other neighbours tho. Although I would be happy to help them out (within reason. Definitely no pyjamas!)

Tea bag and sugar.
Would be so bad if her kids hadn't already stolen my milk off the doorstep that morning

My old next door neighbour once knocked on a Sunday lunchtime and asked to borrow my potato masher as she'd used hers in the bedroom the night before

I'm not sure I should be asking this, but what would you do with a potato masher in the bedroom?

oh,, a few years ago, I had this posh woman neighbour,. I am a pensioner,. she had a good well paid job,, nice clothes, lovely car all the stuff as you say,, but she never seemed to have any food in her house.
I gave her tea bags, sugar,, milk, soap powder, bread, and even some cat food,, for her Dog, I was way down my garden one day, and she came down to me and said, oh, I have just popped into your kitchen and borrowed a tin of beans from your cupboard, and then she said I only usually have heinz baked beans, and yours are Hp. but they will be ok I suppose... !!

God I dread to think when my kids were teeny. We lived in a terrace. Our neighbour 2 doors down became AMAZING friends. We used/borrowed everything we needed...if I had it ...you could too...
Ladders, beers, man power... Her boys both did the same uni course as me so I gave them all my course books !!! She returned an envelope with a cheque for the books .. which I didn't cash !!!
Even now we've lived apart for 3 years and she still sends my kids a cheque which we didn't cash !

Years ago before I met my husband, his neighbour at the time, asked to borrow a newspaper then didn't leave for 3 days....😊😊.

Theemojimovielooksshite.... your ladders may have been darked on lol 🤗

I've been asked for all of these by my NDN;
Batteries (more than once)
Imodium
Pain killers
Antihistamines
Plasters
Plain paper
Glue
And random food items. There's a shop within a 2 minute walk.

When I was little we had a video recorder and our neighbours didn't (although they were much better off financially than we were). When they found out we had one they asked if they could 'borrow' it 'a couple of times a week' because they had been given a load of kids' films on tape for their little girl, who was much younger than me. My mum said "Sorry, but it has to be tuned in and the timer reset every time it's connected so it would be a real pain to keep moving it between houses" and the neighbour said "Oh no, I meant could I pop round with my daughter and watch films in your lounge with her? I'm sure you and your family wouldn't mind us having your lounge to ourselves for a couple or hours while you're cooking and your kids are doing their homework. We were thinking Tuesdays and Thursdays between 5 and 7."

Dolly she didn't let her did she?!?

My ex (very lazy) neighbour wanted to borrow foil because she "couldn't be bothered to go to the shop" (which was 2 mins up the road). I decided I couldn't be bothered either & said I'd run out.

My car
She came out to take her dc to school and found her battery was flat and both DH were at work and we weren't sure how to do a jump start.
I looked after her preschool DD while she took the older one to school, didn't mind a bit

MrsOverTheRoad Absolutely not! Fortunately the neighbour was very thick-skinned and wasn't upset by my mum's blunt reply!
