AIBU to be annoyed by this

We live in a closed gated community..one of my neighbours is always sitting on his porch and 90 % of time when I see him we both wave or say hi.

This neighbour has a friend who came over and was sitting on the the porch with him. I stepped out of the house to quickly get something from the car and he shouts "hello" I said "hi" and he's like "why do you look sad, what's wrong". I step back in the house. Hour later I step out again to take out my rubbish and he yells again "hey beautiful. Hey!". I raise a hand in acknowledgement, not even arsed to engage with him. Two hours pass and I'm now taking my daughter out. As soon as I step out of the house he yells "hey beautiful!" then really loudly starts asking my neighbour "do you know her? Do you ever say hi to her?".

I just don't want to be bothered evertime I step out my front door.

Absolutely no problem with my neighbour we exchange niceties all the time. His mate just rubs me up the wrong way. AIBU?

Sorry if it's not clear.. It's my neighbours visitor who keeps commenting everytime I step out of the house. It happened 3 times in the space of one afternoon.

How often is the neighbour's friend there? If it's everyday, I would have a word with the neighbour. Just tell him his friend calling out to you embarrasses you and makes you feel uncomfortable. If you don't want to confront him, perhaps drop him a note.

It the second time I've seen him. Literally everytime he sees me he must say something. Last time it was "smile. Hey what's wrong".

Nothing wrong. Perfectly fine.

Is he elderly?

I would completely ignore him. Not your neighbour, just his visitor. I wouldn't bother trying to be polite. Just pretend you can't hear him.

Mummblebee · 23/10/2018 02:40

Not elderly. Late 40s maybe early 50s.

Its just irritating. Perhaps I'm too easily annoyed lol

It sounds like he is doing it to provoke some kind of response. I would completely blank him.

Ignore completely for now. Then when visitor has gone tell your neighbour that you didn't appreciate the rudeness from his friend.

You're not too easily annoyed, it is annoying.

But of course, men like this will say that you are too easily annoyed, that he is being complimentary, that you are being rude if you ignore him.

The bottom line is that he is not entitled to your time and attention. Although it certainly sounds as if he thinks he is...
