Neighbour has sent me a (second) message asking us when we’re going to wash our car. We ignored the first message.
It’s not muddy or dirty. The alloys are still silver. It’s just dusty because car washes have been closed for months. They’re good neighbours otherwise. AIBU to be irritated and to think I can decide when I want to wash my own car that’s doing nothing to them except sitting outside on the public road (and it’s not parked in front of their house, it’s parked in front of ours).

Why have your neighbours even got your phone number? For the most part mine dont even know my name. I would not message back. If she sees you and refers to it you could say "Oh I assumed such a cheeky remark was a joke!"
Im a great believer in keeping neighbours at their distance and in their place.
My next door neighbours are CF. However I only have one lot because I am on the end.
Shortly after I moved in the following conversation took place:-
Neighbour: whats your name?
Me: Jane
Neighbour: whats your second name?
Me: Bloggs
Neighbour: is that Miss or Mrs?
Me: well suppose you tell me your name before I answer any more questions!
Silence.
Me: its neither Miss nor Mrs. Its Dr. And my first name is for my friends. You may call me Dr Bloggs.
That more or less set the tone for our relationship since.
I looked them up on the land registry and not only do I know their name but when they moved in, how much their mortgage was for, their mortgage provider and a lot more besides.

"In their place"
Ohhh you're one of those neighbours who moves in and believes they suddenly OWN the ENTIRE street
