AIBU to be Mildly amused.

[mummmy2017]

My neighbour seems to remodel her house every few month, her DP is always doing DIY. It had cost then 4 thousands up till this point.
Shelves up, stair rails changed, Lastest colours.
This summer she knocked the wall out downstairs so her house is open plan.
She then spent thousands painting it and doing it up.
They wanted too sell the house and thought this would raise the value, as they have no equity, she let me see and yes it does look nice, but the Estate Agent has just been round and told her mine is worth the same as hers, I have never seen a woman have such a melt down before.

Why is it amusing to you?

Do you enjoy revelling in someone else's misfortune?

My friend spent thousands renovating her new home and due to house prices falling in her area her house is now worth less than she bought it for, she was devastated.

Does this amuse you?

How unpleasant of you.

Maybe they want to move because of their nasty, sneering neighbours.

Do you hate them then? I think that's quote sad for her!

Quote -quite

How strange to be amused!

What a strange thing to find amusing. How did you see her have a meltdown?

Is this going to be a massive drip feed about how your neighbour is a massive bitch/slept with your DH/ran over you cat?

I honestly can't understand why this would humour you.

Unless there is a backstory that they are deeply unpleasant people who once kicked your cat then I really can't see why that is amusing, it's actually not very nice of you.

Why are you so happy with someone's misery?

Do you want to unburden yourself? We're a caring bunch here and can talk you through whatever's so clearly lacking in your life.

Really mean spirited of you actually and there is nothing amusing about it whatsoever. Imagine if it had been you and someone found your understandable distress funny? What is wrong with people!

That's quite an unpleasant post.

Why would you be amused?

How does the EA know what your house looks like? Did he/she value yours at the same time?

You sound really jealous and there's something a bit off about your story......

Yeah but her house is no doubt much nicer than yours now and will probably sell much quicker so...

I wonder if the OP will be back?

I have put up with years of their DIY, even her mother told her there is a price ceiling around here, but still she went ahead with it... So sort of think this is self inflicted.

I found this out the hard way too, I thought new bathroom, windows and boiler would have added a good chunk of value to the house when we came to sell but apparently not. I didn't have a screaming me!tdown but I was quietly pissed off.

OP you are either a complete bitch or a troll, which one?

DrWhoove, I really do think your improvements were needed, but this is every 4 weeks come payday, something requiring drilling, or banging has done, sometimes you couldn't even see anything had been done.

Well why would you see anything has been done?

It's not your house, what were you doing, peering through the windows to see?

You've had to "put up with" the diy?

But doing things to upgrade and maintain your house is normal Even if you aren't planning to sell.

It's pretty mean to find it entertaining.

RhubardGin you will never know how hard it was to sometimes not bang on the door and say for goodsake stop the DIY.
It comes straight through the walls, all the time.
I have had to go out sometimes just too get away from the noise of it.

How can you possibly know that DrWhoove's improvements were needed but your neighbour's were not?

You are just twisting and interpreting things to suit you.

And you sound really nasty and smug.
