Silly cow. It's a kids bike, a carriage and a dog blanket. They were out as I was cleaning the boot of the car. IABU to tell her to feck off? We're in a cul de sac. She has nothing better to do than look out of her window. Clearly.

What did you say to her, OP?

newnortherner111 · 18/05/2021 12:01

Whilst I think cows are deserving of more respect than to be compared to your neighbour, I think you are not unreasonable to be annoyed.

You can buy dilapidated caravans on ebay for a couple hundred pounds... just saying.

I'd make a shit busybody neighbour as I can't see anything out of place on that picture, even if I zoom in fully.

SuperSange · 18/05/2021 12:05

Undercarriage.

Please PLEASE tell me you told her to fuck off?? You didn’t move your things did you? She sounds like a pedantic idiot.

I can't see anything in that photo other than a drive.

Bobbiebigbum · 18/05/2021 12:06

@FatCatThinCat he's a close up for your delectation. Shocking I know.

Did you sneak up her drive to take that photo or did she take it and send it to you?

Nyfluff · 18/05/2021 12:08

My neighbour complained about my 5 foot hedge and cut it down without asking. I now grow it to 6 Wink

That's just appalling @Bobbiebigbum , take yourself to hell for your abomination as a neighbour Grin

Bobbiebigbum · 18/05/2021 12:09

I snuk half way towards her drive. It will be even smaller than that from her window.

The carriage needs a large teddy in a hi-vis jacket sitting in it.

Melitza · 18/05/2021 12:10

Get some of that police aware tape and section it off as a crime scene!

ToffeeNotCoffee · 18/05/2021 12:10

Loving the teddies doing housework on the lawn. Completely brilliant.

Loving the idea of year round Christmas nativity scene on your driveway too. (Not forgetting a ten foot high inflatable Homer Simpson dressed as Santa as well.)

As well as getting an old caravan to put on your drive.

Throw an old sofa out too and sit out with a bag of cans and a stereo. At least if will give her something to actually look at. Crazy cow

MrsWooster · 18/05/2021 12:11

Give her a Priti Patel apology: “I’m sorry you’re upset by seeing things on my drive”

queenrollo · 18/05/2021 12:12

This could be like a Mumsnet version of Pink Floyd's The Wall. You could add a piece day by day until she has no view at all.

UCOinanOCG · 18/05/2021 12:13

I definitely think you can have some fun with this!

halfhope · 18/05/2021 12:13

queenrollo - Just brilliant!!!

PineappleWilson · 18/05/2021 12:13

People are always offering free furniture on our Fb page. You could make good use of an armchair there, or even just a wooden bench, meant to be in the garden but just happening to block her view.

EuroTrashed · 18/05/2021 12:14

You have a palm tree for her to look at! She should enjoy that. And you should take the next aged and possibly broken fridge from freecycle and install it on the lawn

ToffeeNotCoffee · 18/05/2021 12:15

@BobbiebigbumBobbie

BTW, I love the tree at the front of your drive. What is it ?

(When are you putting tinsel and fairy lights all around it from bottom to top ?)

TokyoSushi · 18/05/2021 12:17

Well, this is definitely winning my favorite thread of the day! Are you in the UK OP? Your street looks a bit like Ramsey Street from Neighbours not seen it since about 1996, appreciate it may have changed

MrsBarnstable · 18/05/2021 12:17

Get your deckchair out, wrap some sandwiches in tin foil, make a flask and settle yourself down with a book for the afternoon
Handkerchief on your head is optional

Hollywolly1 · 18/05/2021 12:18

She's some sad old bat although I do think some nice slinky knickers would dry well on the hedge thereGrin
