Repeat themselves.

My (new) neighbour just grabbed me as I was going in. I'd done something she'd prefer me not to do again. That's OK - all she needed to say was "oh hey, would you mind if ..."

Instead, she kept on and on. "You did this ... please can you ..." She was polite but she was obstructing my door slightly and I was trying to get in with heavy shopping.

In the end I said "ok, look, you have made your point now, I need to get in." She then got offended "I was nice you you, don't get uptight." I said "I wasn't being uptight, but you have said so ten times now and I really must get in." As I was going in she shouted AGAIN for me not to do X.

FGS!

You have to tell us what you did Grin

What did you do?

bluetrampolines · 08/11/2018 19:33

Did you park in front of her drive?

oksoimade · 08/11/2018 19:33

Er - No I don't! Nothing big. Just something to do with gates and opening. In any event, it's fine (haven't lived there long) just "can you make sure you" "oh yeah course" - I just don't have time to hear the same thing over and over and over.

@DanielRicciardosSmile ffs I left a smily face twice now at your comment but they disappeared each time just like the recycling bin!

I have ZERO patience, totally understand where you're coming from.
Waste. Of. Time.

DanielRicciardosSmile · 08/11/2018 20:01

@E20mom invisible smilies much appreciated! Wink

I guess if you'd not repeated the thing she got annoyed about, she wouldn't have had to repeat herself.

Last time she asked you once and you didn't listen so....?

Rachelover40 · 08/11/2018 20:27

Get over it. She needs to get over it too.

oksoimade · 08/11/2018 21:02

It's the first time I've spoken to her Iris, nice try at being goady though.
