Weird neighbour

[GinisLife]

He's painted his drive swimming pool blue !!! It clashes with his recently painted garage door (which is actually a really nice shade of sage green). He sanded the paving slabs before he painted those as well. I see it as soon as I get out of bed in a morning and I can see the blue if I'm stood in my kitchen. It's hideous. He's a laughing stock. Everyone walking past are talking about it.

Nothing wrong with a bit of eccentricity!

@WhoAmIWhoAreYou

Hahaha. All those people that are saying they love it etc.. are full of BS! They wouldn't "love" it, if they had to look at it every bloody day.

Well, as I don't spend my time standing by my window staring at my neighbours house, why would it matter what colour it was painted?!

@MissMaple82

I think its hideous! And I think most of these people commenting on how fun he is would be pissed if he lived opposite them!

Why? Do you spend your days at your window staring at the neighbours?

Handy as a focus point for directing couriers and deliveries. I quite like it!

The houses look like Privet Drive (Harry Potter)

Loving all the comments pretending there's nothing wrong and everyone is being judgey: these liars would HATE it if they lived next to that and we all know it.

GTFOH

I WOULD happily live next door to that drive. So you can fuck off with assuming we're all like you.

Did the photo get deleted? I can’t seem to find it

Yes, it's the "message withdrawn at OP's request" post.

Yep OP has finally had a pang of decency and had it removed.

Better than greyge I saw, with horror, an article where a woman had gone so lockdown stir crazy that she'd taken the grey obsession out into her garden, with various grey slabs a bench a wall etc.

I can't stand the houses in complete dingy monochrome, so miserable. At least he's brightening the place up.

Meh! I couldn’t even be arsed to give a moments thought to how my neighbour paints his outside space.

or to add to BargeBill19, his inner Lifeguard

He so needs a penguin 🐧 bollard or too for his swimming pool 😂
Maybe you can be the stealth Banksy in your street? A different marine creature each time? In chalk of course. How long before you get caught? We could take bets... 😂

This reminds me of an excellent book, "All Quiet on the Orient Express" by Magnus Mills about an elderly chap and a bet involving cans of paint!

You need to read 'The Big Orange Splot' by Daniel Pinkwater. Best childrens' book EVER! He's your neighbour.

I hope he paints lanes on it. Or does a life size “Bigger Splash”. Tell us, does he have floppy blonde hair, a Yorkshire accent and big round specs?

Someone I know is about to install purple AstroTurf in their front garden.

I didn’t even know it came in purple.

"Everyone walking past are talking about it"? Your grammar's a laughing stock OP!

The best thing about owning my own house is that I can do wtf I like. Mind your own business Hyacinth Bucket.

Live and let live I say

Need the pic!?! Its gone. PS I agree with you before I see it! I love bright colours but over the years have toned them all down in the house and exterior so they look classy and calming. Stick to bright colours for kids or if you're trying to look youthful 👀🌈🏡x

Ha, I love that book! The Restraint of Beasts is excellent too.

Nobody else has ever heard of it though

Can you buy some whole fish from the supermarket and fling them on the drive?

@GinisLife either we are neighbours, or this is a very strange coincidence. Someone one our street has done exactly the same...
