So I'm mainly just curious about what other people would do. We've only just moved into this house and have seen the next door neighbour exactly once, have no idea of her routine or even if shes the only person living there, during the day her car isn't there but you can here the usual sound of someone walking upstairs etc usually around 11 at night.
But I've just had a knock on the door to a man dressed in workers uniform, had a lanyard with some ID on it. He said he was trying to get in contact with next door as the landlady had requested they do some work on the house, but he's tried for the last few days and couldn't get hold of her or catch her in, did we know when he could reach her? I said no, sorry we've just moved in. So he started to poke parts of the outside of my house saying "this ones been done, I did this see?" (I have no idea, he could have been trying to point out anything for all I know) Like he was trying to convince me he really did work on the houses around here. Again I said Well I don't know sorry. Then he asked if she had children and if she goes to pick them up from school, again I said I don't know, sorry and eventually he sighed and toddled off asking if I could let her know if I do see her.
I could be a very sceptical person but now I'm wondering that if I did know an exact routine, should I have told him? For example "Yes she works but not on Wednesdays" or "Oh I always see her around Saturday mornings, try then" For all I know he could be a conman trying to work out when the house is definitely empty, or an abusive ex trying to track her down.. Or is that a silly way to think?
So would you tell a stranger about your neighbours routine?
