Busybody neighbour asked me to move stuff off my drive as its in her line of sight

[Bobbiebigbum]

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.

"In her line of sight"?

Did she mean she could see it?

Bobbie ASDA do huge vulgar ones

Our neighbour Bob, was asked by his next door neighbour not to dry his underpants on the washing line as “his mother in law was shocked and offended”. Bob promptly did an underwear wash, and told the guy not to be so ridiculous!

sorry x-posted with winging. DH will be so thrilled an OP agreed with him!

Oh do go completely overboard on the noisy outdoor halloween decorations and flashing Christmas lights this year.

@castemary

What amazes me is that 4% of MN things YABU.

They're probably some of the same people who think parking legally on the road outside someone's house or legally getting a refund for something they've changed their mind about are cheeky.

Definitely my neighbour...she called our estate agent to complain i left aldi bags on drive while cleaning car. yes, she specified aldi

Is that hedge behind the bike carriage yours?
Maybe it would look good penis shaped 😂

My NDN stalks us.

If we're doing anything whatsoever on the front even mundane stuff like getting into the car she hides behind the door in the front bedroom so she can watch out the window;she thinks we can't see her.......

She likes to patrol her front and back garden and have a good stare into our windows to see what we're doing.

If we're in the back garden she stands in the back bedroom trying to hide behind her curtains with the window slightly open to listen in to our conversations.

And if she's out in her garden when I am she'll made passive aggressive comments about me to her husband that are uncalled for.

Even my kids are fed up of her.

Yesterday when myself and my 15 year old daughter were sitting outside together chatting about her day at school as she'd had an important exam the NDN remarked to her husband "wouldn't it be nice if we could sit on our bums outside when we wanted to" (she can,she's 83) to which my daughters snapped back "wouldn't it nice if we could all sit out in the garden without our creepy ass neighbours watching us again".

Honestly the woman is absolutely batshit and due to some recent behaviour I think she has dementia setting in :(

@WingingItSince1973

This is hilarious. I remember Asda used to do a family of giant gnomes. I would have to buy some and have them stare at her from your drive.

The Asda giant gnomes are still for sale at £20

She would love me, we’re having a clear out and I do keep leaving random stuff out on the end of the drive with labels on that say ‘free please take me’. Books, games, toys, baby stuff 🤣. It always goes.

Three pictures later and I STILL have no idea what a “bike carriage” is!

My NDN is the self appointed judge of what is and is not acceptable in our close. His house and garden are immaculate at all times (eg. he he cleans his driveway every time he has driven up or down it, sometimes multiple times a day). We are convinced he has done a course/read a book about how to encourage people to do what you want as he never actually says anything to us about our less-perfect garden/drive but comes out to praise us every time we do the 'right' thing. Eg. Oh, wingsofsteel, aren't you doing a good job of weeding! Isn't you car looking lovely! now you've cleaned it for the first time in a year

I'm same as @Mellonsprite currently got a bathroom suite on our front lawn... always something out there!

Nice tree. Similar enough to a palm to put sand in instead of what looks like decorative stone chips?

Add a tiny tiki bar straw hut type thing, couple of deck chairs, a colourful parasol and festoon some nice solar powered strings of lights àbout. Back it with some waves cut out of plywood and painted in lovely blue green tones. Maybe a paddling pool. Summertime is party time.

Place an empty toilet on your driveway with a bunch of flowers in the bowl

YANBU! Buy a camper and see how she likes that parked there

My neighbour sneaks in my garden to move things, rearrange/knock over my plants, steal or mess with my washing, massacre my trees etc. He likes his concrete and spraying weed killer. He sits in his back garden staring at his zen concrete and focuses on stuff that he can complain about.

I once had to explain to him that the leaves in his garden weren't from my trees as my trees were conifers. And I don't have a cat. I don't drive, I don't smoke.

I've seen the pictures of his garden before he moved in and it was a huge selling point - it was beautiful - until he ripped it all out and concreted over. He recently tried to sell his house and all the other houses on the street with gardens are selling but his hasn't. The estate agents suggested he improved the kerb appeal and put some plants in pots in the front garden. He sprayed an acrid, eye watering, throat irritating concrete cleaner everywhere instead and killed off plants in both mine and the other neighbour's gardens.

Oh dear, an ndn leaves bagged dog poo at the end of her garden, am I being unreasonable to wish she'd put it in the rubbish bin?

My neighbour a few doors down. asked me to move my car ( it’s a council lay-by where you can park where you like) so he could park his third vehicle as there was no where for that to go. I declined.

Jesus you should meet my neighbour. Every time a stray bin bag makes its way into her wheelie bin she writes to her MP claiming I am to blame. Literally.

Why do people like this live in busy areas? If you hate other people that much you owe it to society to take yourself away from them. Just get a life.

Glad somebody has suggested the hideous massive Asda gnomes, they would be perfect!

What? She is bonkers

@PandemicAtTheDisco that bloke sounds terrifyingly sterile. Wanker!

Many horror stories on here.

@HaveringWavering, I think it’s one of things you attach behind a bike for transporting toddlers in.
Maybe there are kids’ versions for dolls and teddies too.
