My neighbours sit outside their front door almost every waking minute. They have put a little table with two chairs there and it drives me and DP crazy because it’s next to our front door.
They both work opposite shifts with weekends off together and one or both of them is outside no matter what the weather conditions are with no shelter.
I get up in the night for a drink and they will be sat there, DP goes to work early morning and one or both are there, I get up to go out STILL there…
They occasionally go inside to eat but then come straight back, I had to mute my doorbell notifications but I worked out this weekend apart from a brief period between 3 and 5am the space was occupied.
They have young children who visit on the weekend but they just stay inside whilst their dad and stepmum sit at their table smoking and on a weekend drinking all day.
It can be pouring with rain but they don’t care, I have no idea why they pay for a property and don’t just live in a tent with a portable table and chair set, I saw a huge tv delivered once which was a waste of money.
On a separate random note I’ve never seen them bringing their shopping in, or any other neighbours.
The weirdest thing about this is that there is a huge beautiful garden they could sit in and have and give privacy, they don’t entertain that idea though!
I have many little quirks including - rushing into the house shouting “I came as soon as I heard!” Whenever I return home and DP is in.
Lifting the cat up and singing “circle of life” and presenting him to DP when he comes in for his dinner in the evening.
Both DP and I do the “cha cha slide” together sometimes randomly in Asda.
We both occasionally get Alexa to announce disrespectful phrases or quotes from films “keep the change you filthy animals” or “your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries” when we are in separate rooms or out of the house to make each other jump.
If DP pisses me off I put random little things in his shoes like buttons, little stones or gravel, potpourri etc…
It’s my little passive aggressive revenge so when he puts his shoes on he knows he’s wronged me.
I have OCD (diagnosed) I’m very conscious about germs but I wouldn’t wrap a hotel tv remote in a plastic bag because the rustling would drive me crazy. I do take a pack of antibac wipes to a hotel though and wipe down the remote and a few other areas.
I take any cushions and top covers off the bed and wear slippers instead of walking barefooted on the carpet. I’m usually drinking if i’m staying in a hotel though and too busy having fun to bring cleaning equipment or worrying about the kettle or doing my washing like some people mentioned!
