To say I wish neighbours' husband was not WFH

[tulips27]

Nothing serious but following on from a couple of threads from disgruntled spouses of people WFH, I want to make my own complaint as a neighbour- it's not just spouses that are affected. My neighbour's husband is always hanging around, nothing wrong with the man but it feels like he is always there! I want to go outside in my own garden without someone always being there all the time! It's a lovely day today and I could be outside doing a bit of work but I feel I can't. I know what the replies will be but someone please tell me I'm not the only one who feels this way.

In my street it's become the thing to buy wooden chairs and sit outside in your front garden. The baffling thing is that for half the street there are great views from their back gardens, but from about 7am to midnight whenever I leave my house there will be neighbours just sitting there in chairs staring at the houses on the other side of the street. It's not picturesque, nothing to look at but brick houses and small front gardens. I live in the UK by the way. It makes me feel awkward to leave the house on foot. At least in the car I don't have to swap awkward hello's on the outbound journey and the return...

I would hate this too.

so you chose a house with low garden fences and you mind because you can see your neighbour?

Our neighbour is lovely, but she has such a loud voice and is on the phone in her garden all day every day in summer, working from home. Then she talks to her partner on phone/ video for another 2 hours every night ( he works away). I know far too many details about her work and private life. I do turn my music up but she just speaks even louder. The whole neighbourhood must know her life.

Not a shared garden, just a low boundary.

Plant some bushes or creepers up some trellis then

Surely your neighbours husband is your neighbour?

A low boundary doesn’t explain why he’s in the garden so much!

So you mean the neighbour is wfh and he looks out into your garden while working ?
Then put a higher fence up !!

True!
