Emergency vacuuming...

[Longingforatikihut]

Myself and NDN have a short passive aggressive history. I do think she is troubled by something and I try to be reasonable even though I feel she rarely is.

In normal day to day cleaning routine I wouldn't dream of vacuuming/running washer/other noisy things outside 8am-8pm as we are terraces and noise travels. She has previously complained at me vacuuming on a weekend at lunch time and 'kindly' asked me to vacuum between 12-2 on Wednesdays as that's when she's not home (I have a job so ignored this ridiculousness).

I was just loading the dishwasher and dropped and broke a glass. I have uncaged pets roaming my home so quickly whipped out the vacuum to hoover up shards and save tiny paws from getting hurt. It was 5 past 8. It was literally on for a minute, 2 minutes max. It was turned off and packed away before she was even banging on the door screaming. I calmly told her what happened but apparently I am lots of foul words.

I don't think I am being unreasonable. It was a one time thing. Maybe I'm missing something? I'm currently buying my own home and I don't want to end up with a similar relationship with my new neighbors. And I doing something wrong?

Just to add, you should keep the vacuum cleaner in the hall plugged in ready for her for when she next comes banging on your door - you won't hear her over the vacuum cleaner .

Unfortunately now the folks across the road are fighting in the street. I feel like making a tally chart of days on the wall like a prisoner in the movies.

Hope your house move comes through quickly Longing

100% sure I'm not unreasonable now. She's all words under the sun.

It being a nice day I've had the back door open most of the afternoon. Giving my house rabbits ability to go out, but normally they stay snuggled in the house out of choice. She has ROW over the back of my yard. Sat in the front room eating dinner when I hear her and her young daughters voice "where are they mummy?" "Let's go and have a look!". It sounded very close so I went to investigate. They're stood in the middle of my kitchen and her brat shouts at me "where are the rabbits!? I want to hold one?!".

I told them to leave before I called the police on them for trespass.

"She just wanted to see them"
"Well last summer she tried lifting her dog over the fence to kill them so she can fck off and you can both get the fck out of my house and out of my yard."

I did swear. I did shout. I've had enough. Who the hell screams at someone one week and then waltzes into their home unannounced the next. Wtaf.

Jesus Fucking Christ!! She's lost the plot!!!!

I'd keep bunnies inside until you move.

Have you bought your house? When are you moving?

Tbf, they keep themselves inside. Hence why they thought they'd come looking. Nutters.

House is under my offer. Survey happening Wednesday. Gonna chase up searches with solicitors in the morning. Mortgage is just waiting to draw down. Fingers crossed things clear through fast. Can't bear living here much longer.

She is bonkers!! - everything you have done is quite normal. What would she do if there was a gas leak and the road had to be dug up- scream at them!!
The day before you leave the house give it a very thorough clean and possibly catch up on a few DIY jobs so the house is nice and ready for the new occupants.
If she comes around again ignore - if she become aggressive or intimidates you - call the police.
