Really dislike talking to my neighbour

[joffjaffa]

Another neighbour one sorry lol.

Basically I really dislike talking to my neighbour l, she is so nosy and when she seem’s me she will proceed to talk for at least 20 - 30 minutes and often whilst I’m gardening.

On first impressions I thought she was really nice but after she would start asking persons questions which made me and DP uncomfortable.

By pure coincidence my parents, DP’s mother and my aunt and uncle visited on the same day on Wednesday.

On Thursday when I was watering my plants she came out to ask if everything was OK and that she had noticed that a lot of people had visited the day before.

I replied “why wouldn’t it be OK?” and made a joke of it but it really annoyed me.

I never ask her questions, or question her about her visitors, I just hate talking to her now

I am not an unneighbourly person either, I take bins down when neighbours are at work, I take in parcels etc but I like my privacy and definitely don’t want to be saying more then hello to her.

DP never says anything about anyone and even he agrees she is very nosy.

My other neighbour and I just say hello and carry on about our business which I prefer.

AIBU to feel like this?

Just googled shoebill, what a looker ! 😍

This. And change your story each time.

‘Hot tub? No, you must have misunderstood me. I’ve just started a cult. Those were my first recruits. We’re going to do primal screaming in the back garden on Tuesdays and Saturdays. Very good for the mind.’

’Cult? Where did you get that idea? I run swingers’ parties!’

I completely ignore my next door neighbour. I have my reasons for this.

You can do the same? It's really easy.

YADNBU to feel put upon. Neighbours who enjoy knowing the details of my life are off my Christmas list, I'm afraid. You might live next door but this isn't a commune. If we are friends, then that's different, but simply living near someone doesn't give you the right to pump them for information about their lives.

I would be tempted to talk to them about putting up a 6' trellis fence, then get a nice evergreen climber. Just say you want more growing space.

In addition, big headphones. Definitely.

.

I would like to just completely ignore her if possible and to not even bother with even acknowledging her to be honest.

I have noticed last few occasions when I have had visitors she has been listening to our convos as I have heard her baby cry on the Ringdoor.

I dont want to be friendly/ neighbourly her I just want to be left alone.

Thankfully I have not seen her for past few weeks but I will make a point of just blanking her from now on as any kind of interaction with her encourages her entitlement to think she has a right to know everything about us and what we do/ about neighbours.

Its not just me she is like this with other neighbours as well who have all mentioned the same issues with her.
