Bloody snob twat of a neighbour

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.

The clothes are all dry now. And no longer in the windows.

what about the gimp suit? I think that needs a little longer

Quick go and pop a note on the windscreen of each car - please only park here when using "the services" in the street......

StealthPolarBear · 12/05/2008 14:34

Or can you quickly knock up a poster for a nearby strip club?

Gimp suit!! Love it.

Saw a bit of Madge on the TV - those muscles are incredible! No bingo wings for her.

StealthPolarBear · 12/05/2008 14:38

She's had the gimp suit in the window since noon when morningpaper sent her out to buy one

I used to live in N Oxford, and it was a byelaw that you weren't allowed to hang washing in teh windows. Very shallow, I thought.

TheDevilWearsPrimark · 12/05/2008 17:50

She has been over and pushed a note through thanking me for taking it down. I didn't do it for her, it was because it was bloody dry.

oh that would really annoy me
she'll assume you've seen the error of your ways

TinkerbellesMum · 12/05/2008 18:01

Put them back up I'd have deliberately left them their to annoy Mrs Bucket!

Wisteria · 12/05/2008 18:04

this thread has brightened my day , I can't believe anyone would really come round and say that!

dwp, I would have deliberately left it there for days - you are a better person than me!

Fullmoonfiend · 12/05/2008 18:05

Thye all do it simoutaneoulsy on a sat afternoon. If we washed our car, it would fall apart.....

I would be tempted to sit out on my step with a bottle of vodka or buckfast, old bat!

pointydog · 12/05/2008 18:21

I lived in a HA flat for a while and there was a rule that no washing was to be hung up outside.

You could improvise with a couple of bin bags and tin foil?
