Needy neighbour; again

Update:

She now has a bike.
No escape, as she can keep up when I try to get away!
(Feel sure she has never taken a Cycling Proficiency Test.....)

But in between dodging her (in and out, in and out, in and out),
I had a much better Saturday this week - I went to a book signing and met
Sara Davies (Dragons' Den) - and ended up discussing boob sizes and being a very late starter at crochet.

The I drove through the countryside in the sunshine singing Barbra Streisand,

Jeez people. Pile on much?? Poster comes on here to say what a nice day she’s had. Reminds people who she is. In a friendly remember me?‘Sue from the baby-group’ conversational pleasantry-type way and she gets this crap? Really. Is that who we are? I’m shocked. I really am. I thought more of us.

WTF is this thread even about? Scrap that, I probably don't want to know. It doesn't make any sense and I've no idea which way to vote. Unless... yes...YABU for wasting my time.

Well, that thread about the needy neighbour, referenced in this thread's title, was only started a few days ago.

It is a familiar story, not that you will be able to find it by searching as the new search function is shit.

Better Saturday this week than last is what I meant, when the majority of it was spent defending myself on here.
Although the NDN has been up to her tricks this evening and afternoon, I managed to dodge her.
Mostly.

I did think that maybe some of those who commented prevously might read, without bringing the old threadback up, or linking it. If not, it mightn't make much sense to someone who hadn't read before. If so, it would, be easy to bypass. It's not that interesting; except to me of course😏

So this is a TAAT?

picklemewalnuts · 01/05/2022 08:25

Not really.

I can see why OP would want a fresh, light hearted start, to muse on the weirdness of life and neighbours.

It's not unreasonable to mention 'it's me, weird neighbour situation, much better day today though, as I dodged her despite her having a bike!'.

I think it was slightly confusingly written though, so the need to interpret has irritated some people's brains and made them tetchy.

Oh dear - if I get tetchy, I don't post (and HAVE posted on other threads and "been ignored" [shrug]).

TAAT? (Is that like PAAT - a music track I used to love in my car - pre-Barbra😊)
Some of the acronyms do go - like my humour/irony for other people - over my head

Humour? There is absolutely no humour in your threads, your situations, actions and the way you write. But that goes right over your head. Pretending not to understand why you are having the problems you do, that you cause. It isn't entertaining, its awful. But keep up the good work and your 'wry smiles' eh, not sure what you want from MN. Then wanging on about it endlessly on here for pity. So now we get treated to a bit of mock light hearted too? Give it a rest.

Good Lord.
It wasn't "mock" - it was actually light-hearted 😀
Why not just leave it? It can't be doing your "MH" much good, such vitriol.

I don’t think you appreciate how noticeable you and your threads are. I’ve seen you on here under various user names for several years and trust me, I’m not the only one who remembers them. I’m not going to list details or your previous user names because I think that would be a bit mean but your writing style is unique, and instantly recognisable, as are the situations you post about.

Incorrect re. "years". I joined in May last year, in fact, with a thread abut this situation (shame on me). The name then was Dumbest Blonde.
I have never had any other usernames, or posted prior to last year, I absolutely swear.
You would really need to prove what you are alleging - and on here is fine by me,

Well I'm glad you had a nice day. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I don't know why there are so many posters who feel compelled to post sour and snide replies when they see a thread and poster they don't approve of. Why don't they just ignore it. It's very strange.

I can't imagine getting so wound up

by some random person posting on the internet that I have to go out my way to try and put them down and make them feel bad and to do so when the person may have mental health issues is disgusting.

You can disagree with an OP but if you can't do it in a way without belittling them then you shouldn't bother.

LoveMyPiano · 01/05/2022 09:25

@OuchitHurtstoomuch

It does say more about the people who choose to post in that manner, than it does about the topic at hand, or me - actually.

Me having (or not) "mental health issues" does make it worse, I must say. I hope that they feel better for venting though 😉

I looked back, and saw that your posts were deleted (I printed at least one of them off), as "not in the spirit of Mumsnet".

@CMajor not sure how to add a link on iPhone sorry !! I did a search on that user name and it was there, Maybe someone else on here can find it and post. It might not have been the same person but seems a coincidence!

I see it now. The thread is 2013, but I only see a reply from dumb blonde in 2021.
Their history seems recent.

LOL. It can a bit of a cess pit though. This thread and the other especially.
