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.

The neighbour at the bottom of me came round once to ask me to move a 6” plant pot which was under my thick conifer hedge, very much my side of the wire mesh at the base of the hedge.....because she didn’t like seeing it......

I’m dreading her reaction to the 3m wide shed I’m about to have erected!

Cover that shed with 3" plant pots - like some sort of horticultural acne.

Get an old knackered caravan and put that on your drive.

Op
I have 3 words for you

Take your inspiration from him. I can’t wait to see the pictures 😂😂

Obviously you need to leave a lot more stuff out the front from now on 😂

None of her business.

I wouldn't mind but they have seven cars, six barky dogs, five shitting cats, two motorbikes and a sunblocking conifer tree. We have never once complained!

I'm surely not the only one mentally singing this to the tune of "The 12 Days of Christmas"?

No, me too😁

I heard of someone who kept complaining to a neighbour about them parking their white work van outside her window, in the street. He was legally allowed to park it there but she didn't like looking at it through her window. He told her she was being stupid and he would carry on parking it there. It bothered her so much she persuaded her husband to move. They moved to a house with a bigger mortgage, he had to work overtime and this meant he had to drive the works van, which ended up parked outside her window. True story!

Put some fairy lights on and leave it. There is. I way I would move it for a couple of weeks, even if I wanted to.

Buy a caravan :)

Your neighbour is ridiculous.

The carriage made me laugh 😁. Presumably not horse drawn.

Fucking hell is she looking through a high powered telescope?

OPs garden

Neighbours previously used to mow part of our lawn without our consent, at first I thought it was neighbourly nice. I have since put some hedge saplings on that space, and for some reason mentioned neighbour had to mow half of the already short grass and bash the sapling guards. Not very nice, and it's no mow may! We're in a cul de sac as well. Wish they'd bugger off.

is it strewen,been there for weeks rained trampled on n walked past repeatedly.realitically ...that would be unsightly
realistically that would also be f+kin tuff. keep eye out at poundland for a kalediscope n drop one round for her.nice to be naice init.

How about a nice zombie theme in the garden?

Tell her it's an installation by the latest hot young British artist, and you can't move it till the Turner Prize judges have been to look at it.

Sounds like time for building the most huge massive cardboard fort you can, one that's really really big and blocks everyone's view.
But I'm petty like that.

You need a sign that says, "if you can read this...you are too close, so fuck off"

If you live near me I could offer dp to bring round his 3 motorbikes and sidecar, she would love that!

Tell her to fuck right off as far as she can go, and when she gets there to fuck off some more. You don’t have a legal right to a clear line of sight and she’s just a massively entitled busybody.

People are bonkers about their rights to a view from their castles sorry houses. Do you mean one of those cycle carriages ?!

@dentydown

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!

Ha ha ha, this is hilarious. Is this a British thing with snobby nosy neighbours?

You could, and should - have so much fun with this.

Please.

Tbh, it depends how long it was there for....you haven’t really said in your post. But my neighbours leave all sorts for months...glasses on the wall, empty cans! Their pram (left out in the rain with no cover) but I don’t say anything so she sounds like a bit of a busy body tbh!! If I were you though I wouldn’t have argued back l!

I said something like, what stuff? The car. Then she said no that stuff. I said I was just clearing up my car. Then I said that's life. Then she said, it's in my line of sight.
I was too stunned to say more. I ended up saying something noncommittal and shut the front door.

Seriously, tell her to FUCK OFF and get a life !!
