This is cheeky fuckery right?

[MNpenisadvisor]

I live in a block of flats, one of my neighbours knows that my car is fucked and had to be recovered from the hard shoulder on Friday.
The recovery guy said what he thought it was but I wanted to know for sure so I booked (and paid) for a mobile mechanic come out to have a butchers.
Me and DH go out to meet them and neighbour comes out instantly and starts asking the techs loads of questions about his own car! Obviously the mechanics don't know he's just a random neighbour so they answer but I can see they're thinking erm you paid for us to do one thing not diagnose multiple cars.
I turned to neighbour and said oh you are a nosy neighbour aren't you and he pretty much huffed off. But that's a rude thing to do right? Or is it just me.

Hahaha, glorious.

Actually it’s *their time

I didn't no that. I defiantly need to spend alot more time learning grammer.

I see that also. Seems Key needs a little attention, and negative is fine as long as it's attention of some sort.

Think ur tone was a bit snippy with the neighbour.
He shouldn't have been pestering the technician but there's nicer ways of dealing with it.

People are people are people, its a free country/ not russia

Yep. Another CF.

nah you need sum wan to learn ya. 😂

Don't you mean written it?

There are times when someone's entitlement and situational awareness is so poor that they ask for a curt response. If they don't like it, they should go and learn some ettiquette and people skills.

My name is Kevin, and my brother's name is Gary. I like that.

Exactly. The mechanic was probably trying to suss out if he could make the neighbour a paying client/drum up more business

I was going to say the exact same thing...the mechanic could have politely told the guy that as he only had an allotted amount of time to deal with the car he was booked to diagnose that he couldn't spare the time right now to talk about the neighbour's car? This would have stopped the (I agree CF) in his tracks and taken the responsibility off the OP who, I do think, might have been a little more diplomatic and still got her point across?! 🙄

Because OP nipped it in the bud BEFORE it became an issue, Einstein.

Person asked mechanic advice, mechanic answered, simples

I voted YABU simply because you saying “you’re a nosy neighbour aren’t you” was a completely irrelevant and weird response to someone trying to corner the mechanic you hired to ask questions of their own.

the op says the mechanic didn’t know it was a random stranger. He sounds like he thought the neighbour was the person who booked. That’s why he answered.

it’s rude to take advantage of a persons time. The mechanic doesn’t have all the time in the world and the time they have is to fix the OPs car

@blubbyblub yes and the appropriate response should have been “get your own mechanic you CF.” Not “you’re a nosy neighbour.”

He was being cheeky but I don’t understand why you called him nosy unless he has form for getting involved in neighbours’ business. A bit more context would help.

Found the neighbour!

The answer is no. Your cf neighbour wants to grap your land. No no no ..get a good fence up

I thought what the OP said to the neighbour ('oh you are a nosy neighbour aren't you') was quite odd, passive and not relevant to the situation...He wasn't being nosy he was, as the OP suggests, being extremely 'cheeky' and very rude asking about his own car when he knew the mechanic was being paid to be there for theirs!! 🙄
I would have been polite but a lot more direct and said something along the lines of 'Excuse me Gary, but we have booked and paid for the mechanic and he only has so much time to sort out our car so sorry, if you need him to sort yours out you will have to make an appointment in the same way we did!' 🙂
If he didn't see anything wrong in what he was doing he isn't that 'sensitive' in my opinion and because so many people are just not comfortable 'saying it like it is' these CF's just keep getting away with things!! 😡
