I think I probably was, but would opinions please!
Back story is that I don’t particularly like one of our nextdoor neighbors. Never took to him when we first met and then he treated his now ex-wife badly so I think even less of him now.
I was out in the back garden this afternoon. chopping up some branches. Had my AirPods in as I was listening to an audiobook. He came into his garden and was pottering about. I realized he was there but decided not to speak as I was in the middle of hauling/chopping up the branches to make a tidy pile. Think he got huffy as he started banging about with tools ( although I could hardly hear over the audiobook) and kept coming up close to the garage where I was piling up the wood. Eventually he backed his own car out of his garage and drove off.
He often comes out of his house when I’m in the garden or just when I’m taking out the rubbish, it’s abit odd. I’m usually polite but not overly friendly- should I always speak to him? I don’t want to be actual friends, I don’t think he’s a nice person! There’s a fence between our gardens but it’s not v. high.
