To think it’s weird that they keep asking about where I live

[Starbright9]

Recently moved into the village and I got talking to a school mum and they keep asking about which road I’ve moved onto and then trying to figure out which house I’m at and asking if I know my neighbours etc and they keep saying they never see my car there. They live about a 5/10 minute walk from mine and they have no reason to go onto my road apparently but have said they’ve walked up there a few times and not seen my car. Aibu to think it’s strange that they’re so bothered about where I live

I understand these CFs exist , I'm just shocked by how many people in the comments think they’re forced to oblige or placate them

Omg village life sounds terrible!!!!
if I had any ideas to move out of the city, this thread as shut them forever

I live in a village and I think repeatedly walking u0 a road they’d not normally to find your house is very odd and over the top. People did uses to ask where we lived, and we’d say and they’d know the house or the previous owners, but if someone was wondering round looking I’d be thinking they were weird.

Sounds like the village I live in!

In my experience (admittedly limited to just one Suffolk village) this is typical of village life - nosy people, with some quite backward ideas - obviously not everyone but certainly a fair number. That's why I prefer city living.

This made me laugh enough to register & comment!

We live in a village which sounds similar. Unless you can trace a village-connecting family lineage back 3 generations.....you will always be the outsider talked about!!

I tune them out now 😂
