Fluffy sock problem

25 replies

Twittoowoo · 12/12/2023 13:06

I fell out with my neighbour some time ago but we've made up now.

She has given me an Xmas card but I am going to give her one back as well as a pair of socks.

So... Green with one large reindeer with large antlers?

Or red ones with lots of small antlers?

Aibu green pair
Ainbu red ones

I'm more impressed you have neighbours you actually speak to and give presents to. That must be a mumsnet first

Usernameundiscovered · 12/12/2023 14:21

I really think you should tattle on her and tell us why you fell out

Oh it was because she's incredibly loud and kept on coming round 😆

But then she had a family death so I dropped her round some flowers and we made up.

She really is so loud that yesterday I heard her screaming about something she needed from the shop and I got it as I was going anyway.

I've decided on green socks as the reindeer looks friendlier 🙂

I think you should find some festive tiger socks personally.

This is very cute
Give her one of each and keep the others for yourself then you can be matching besties?

🤣 I think that would look a little odd!

If she is loud you should call the police now! Or get your ducks in a row and look to move

DragonScreeches · 12/12/2023 16:12

Call 101 and ask them to decide?

🤣🤣🤣🤣 no she's a bit noisy and intrusive. We have made up so don't want any further problems. I have decided on green reindeer socks. The red ones looked like a bit of a computer game anyway so I'll keep those. I always keep in a few boxes of chocs and things like socks for small gifts.

I hope you don't hear her screaming about the crappy gift you gave her for Christmas.

Who was she screaming to?

Don’t buy her stuff when she screams, it will make her just scream for more.

Nchanged89 · 12/12/2023 17:01

Mmm how old is she, screaming out of character like that could be a sign of early onset dementia, just be kind to her.

Iwantmyoldnameback · 12/12/2023 17:06

I think you should be very careful or she will be dropping round again.
Are you giving her some hot choc and marshmallows too?

I haven't so far! When she had a close relative death I hesitated and thought obout it then decided to leave some flowers and a note outside her door.

She really is so noisy that I could overhear her screaming "it's from the bitch" but just rolled my eyes a little.

I do empathise with a family death and we keep in contact by email now. May have to buy some earplugs however

Have you considered going NC?

My advice is to stick to Tattle.

You forgot the matching Xmas pyjamas.

GalileoHumpkins · 12/12/2023 19:31

Does the gift card read
To : my lovely neighbour.
From : the bitch ?

Twittoowoo · 12/12/2023 19:57

Hahaha! Actually I did think later on this week I should write Love, the Bitch.

She does make me laugh as well as being insanely noisy. She is not a nasty person just her noise function is not average. I'd rather get on with her so we both have to adjust

Have you ever heard her screaming about sock preferences? That would help

CatOnTheLap · 12/12/2023 21:19

What if the neighbour has non-standard size feet? Would receiving socks make her feel that it was a deliberate attempt to highlight her different dimensions?

Lord, hope not! I just buy bumper packs of socks, soaps and chocs as small Xmas pressies.
