Bloody snob twat of a neighbour

[TheDevilWearsPrimark]

Has just turned up on my doorstep to complain that our windows make it seem 'the house is full of squatters'. And apparently she has terribly important guests today who would no doubt be horrified to see this. They would probably think she lives in a slum.

Her house doesn't even directly overlook ours it's up a road just across from us. I can see her windows and she's got disgusting curtain swags but I've never really let that bother me before. I might write to the council about an offense on tasteful interior decor.

My crime? I've just been on a weekend away and took my few lovely summer clothes, washed them this morning and have hung them from the blinds/curtain rails in our five front windows so they can dry in the sun (we have no tumble dryer or garden).

I know there are a fair few poncos living around here, but this beggars belief. The worst is I feel I should move them now.

Don't you dare move them! Add some more. Can you find a tatty old pram to leave in the front garden too? And maybe a pile of stinking bin bags?

that is outrageous!! What did you say? I would be inclined to play very loud music just as her guests arrive and sit on the doorstep with a tinny

Leave them and go to the park - take a picnic and have lunch in the park with the DC

cheeky cow tell her to sod off ,then all afternoon sit on the front with a can of special brew .

Do not take them down

Hope you are feeling ok BTW

She said 'I know we haven't spoken before, I never realised you were northern, but you have a rather lovely accent, did you go to boarding school?'

Some people are beyond belief aren't they

stand naked at the window and wave at her guests !!!!seriously ignore her did u have a nice weekend? you were almost reported as missing u know!!

Step away from the window.

Don't move them.

How very dare she the cheeky cow.

Tell her to shove it where the sun don't shine.

you're Northern??

How far north??

mcdreamy, great plan! I have a few friends she'd probably consider scummy, dreadlocks and all, should invite them round, we can sit on the 'stoop' American style.

some people are just hilarious!!! You could have soooooo much fun with her TDWP

windygales I did indeed! reported missing, what do you mean?

So glad you're back, Devilwearsprimark!we were worried!

Boarding school? WTF?

What did you say to her?

Have you got an old fridge you can put outside your front door to add to "the look", along with the pram and the rubbish. Feed your children a load of fruit shot and Haribo to get them really fired up and send them out to play on the pavement outside your house too. Also, children armed with pavement chalks are especially good for these kinds of neighbours - they love them!

Bet she's got an estate agenct coming to value her property!

you should have said "No, but did you go to finishing school, shame they didn't complete the job"

What a bitch.

Do you have any bags of crap you could hang from the window outside so it looked liked you'd run out of storage - that could really wind her up.

I would move them tbh if they're going to cause her so much grief. Just isn't worth having stress with neighbours if you can at all avoid it.

FAQ it's complicated, born in Istanbul (to English parents), lived in Derbyshire and Harrogate and then in Paris, then London.

DO NOT MOVE THEM...wtf who does she have coming? the farking Queen and Prince Philip? what a cheeky cow... i would have told her you were squatters!

I explained that I was trying to dry my washing and got in a snide comment about how terribly fashionable it is these days to put washing in the sun to dry and would her guests not appreciate that.

ahh little further south than me - I'm from Cleveland (or North Yorkshire as my dad calls it, he still refuses to recognise Cleveland as a county LOL).

Right gotta go get DS2.

LynetteScavo, that's so nice, sob. lovely to see people care (and remembered where I was !)

I did consider posting to say I was actually going, but thought that would be a bit presumptious.

me too faq! stockton
devil, can you find an old mattress to leave out the front?

she sounds hilarious - when people start tslking like that, I get rougher and rougher and end up sounding like some old chav from Jeremy Kyle

I lived in a bedsit once and we weren't allowed to hang washing at the windows as the rsodents of the old people's home next dor didn't like it

(but really I agree with SSSandy2 - good neighbourly relations and alll that....

sssandytwo, really? I want my clothes dry and thinking about it, screw her and her snobby attitude. She obviously thinks as we are in a 'good' area we all get our washing 'sent out.

I've barely seen her before. I have brilliant neighbours either side and downstairs (after our previous nightmare neighbours) and they haven't said anything.
