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.

I can remember when we lived in a flat and had a washer/dryer that was so crap at drying. Ended up putting our big sofa throw over the living room window to dry it. Old bat downstairs told me 'oh dear, we just don't do that around here. It really ruins the look of the building'

She also bollocked me for feeding the neigbours cat outside in the COMMUNAL garden 'oh but we don't want to encourage them do we dear'

She lived alone.....no surprise there!

Nice to know when we bought our £400'000 fecking maisonette we would have to pander to our snobby neighbours tastes.

I am indeed remebering our flat in an alley in paris where we had a communal washing line between our windows that we could draw in and out. It added to the character of the place.

Same all over continental Europe.

I'm annoyed enough she was probably one of the ones who refused to let us paint the facade an interesting colour, seaside style. Why not? they are all now a tasteful off white.

what a loon

she must be thick

get a st georges flag and pin it up

Moronic bint. I'd go and buy some huge y-fronts from a charity shop, cut a few holes in them and hang them up in your window. Or as MP said, a gimp suit- but not pvc, or it'd melt.

gggirl that's the best plan, and age it with tea so it looks like it's been there for ages. Might rope lovely elderly neighbour in too (she's got a great sense of humour)

Although slight flaw, no flags and nowhere to get any.

And smear some choccie spread on the Y-fronts too.

Perhaps their very important guests are potential buyers? Take them down, they might sell their house and fark off!

Say to her that you need the clothes all dry today, so if she really doesnt want them in the wondow then can she take them in and tumble them for you? She could iron them as well while shes at it lol

Silly cow!

I've decided to clean my windows now so I can nosey at who her guests are. Her curtains are closed at the moment, ooh er.

DWP - print some St Georges flag symbols off the internet and pin up in every window....not the same as a flag but should still have the same effect....

I would also have a VOTE BNP poster for added effect...but then I am a sh*t stirrer

The house doesn't seem to be for sale so I doubt it, plus I'm not pandering to her. My dress is dry at least so I'm now wearing it, the stuff upstairs is staying there.

Crikey that sounds a bit much, but thank you for brightening up the morning with this anecdote.

I love the idea of the St George's flag. It would no doubt have curtains fluttering.

TDWP - I'm afraid I've just had to laugh out loud at this! I just can't believe someone would A) feel the need to say something and B) be quite so rubbish and awkward at saying it! I hope that you find out juicy gossip with a little 'Neighbourhood Watch'!

She must be pretty boring company if she thinks her guests would rather be watching your clothes dry than paying attention to her

Don't be sorry I'm laughing too.

Closed curtains...ah that sort of party

When her guests arrive go out and take photos of your drying clothes. Tell them it's installation art.

i think you are being a little bit unreasonable. some neighbours who rent in the same street hang their towels over the railings on their front windows, it looks awful. dh has had a word and it does lower the tone of the area.

Tell her you'll take them down if she lets you use her tumble dryer.

open your windows (without moving the clothes) and blare out the collected works of the Macc Lads
all together now "Well she wore big knickers and sh worked on't' sewage faaaaarm, got me 'and down 'er jeans and nearly lost 'alf me aaaarm...."
didn't know you were northern.........wanker.

hifi, it 'lowers the tone' are you serious?

So you expect everyone should use a tumble dryer, and neatly fold and put it away in size order?

note use of "rent".......

the nouveau c**nts round here only started talking to us when they realised we owned the gaff
fuck 'em

It would "lower the tone" more if everyone used tumble dryers and the Thames started to flood up your street due to global warming.

I would be sooooo cross in your position TDWP. The person in this story who has something to be ashamed of is her and not you.
