I don’t know if I’m being unreasonable so I just wanted some input really.

I find my neighbour quite over bearing and me and DP have come to the point now where we just say hello to her and don’t engage in further conversation with her.

We have always found her incredibly nosy and we know her Ringdoor bell overlooks our drive.

We know there isn’t much we can do about so we’re not to fussed about that in that respect.

She would only say hello to DP really it was me who she would see and start talking too for ages.

At first she seemed like a nice lady but then she started questioning us about our visitors which we really didn’t appreciate, asking personal questions, where we worked, how much we earned etc, in the end I just stopped at hello and would either go in or turn my back to her hoping she would get the hint.

She also talks about other neighbours which I don’t want engage in.

Only a few days ago she called the police on another neighbour who had been banging on her door calling her names after finding out she had been talking about her to others.

I saw her today whilst putting rubbish out and she was very upset and asked why I didn’t check in on her when all that stuff happened with the woman banging on her door verbally abusing her.

She walked off, but I feel bad, should I of intervened?

In the classic words of MN, not your circus, not your monkeys.

Of course her life is absolutely none of your business or concern. Just politely smile and nod and leave it at that. You don't have to be best friends, nor do you have to be rude. Just keep your distance. You don't owe her anything whatsoever.
We can't like everyone just because they chose to move to the same street as us.

I do say hello but she will try and start a conversation and I don’t really want to be talking to her like that, she is far to nosy.
