Wierd neighbour thinks she's me.

A woman who lives near me and my family copies everything I do. I changed my car a few weeks ago and I watched as she walked past my house, she looked so annoyed and cross. She went bright red and I thought that she was going to burst.
Yesterday, I had my hair cut into a short Bob. I saw this.....person who was staring at me but as usual she wouldn't speak to me and later in the afternoon she flounced past my house with a newly cut short Bob. She was staring at my window grinning.
I have never spoken to her but she copies the silliest of things like a change in lipstick colour.
Do you think I should worry? Or is it just that I am such a trend setter?

mumoftwo - what, your neighbour had the same nightdress and knickers as you?

Thank god she moved. In fact, if she hadn't, I hope you would have called the police.

cadelaide · 04/06/2008 14:10

mumoftwo, she bought the same nightdress and knickers?

I'm going to check what was in my lunch.....

DirtySexyMummy · 04/06/2008 14:10

Great minds cadelaide..

Was going to mention Single White Female before the thread went pear-shaped. Damn it would have been really funny too.

Wisteria lane, the desperate floucing MNer

mumoftwo37 · 04/06/2008 14:12

Yes Exactly the same - apart from mine were size 10 and hers about size 18
I did joke with DH that I was going to buy some PVC crotchless ones and see if she copied those too!

Rowlers · 04/06/2008 14:15

sorry but how on earth would you know if someone had the same knickers as you? did she pull her trousers down to show you?

DirtySexyMummy · 04/06/2008 14:16

Ah.. and a pattern emerges.

'She copies me, but she is still not as great as me'.

Is this how it goes?

mumoftwo37 · 04/06/2008 14:19

No Rowlers she pegged them on the washing line like I did.
DSM I was actually making a joke (better than calling the police me thinks like you suggested.)

LynetteScavo · 04/06/2008 14:20

Well I know someone who tryed to buy our house when it was on the market, bought exactly the same car as me, then when she found out I was pregnant, got pregnant herself. Now I think that is extreme.

I actually really like her, by the way!

DirtySexyMummy · 04/06/2008 14:21

mumoftwo - my police comment was (fairly blatant) sarcasm.
I was aware that your comment was a 'joke'.

cadelaide · 04/06/2008 14:23

I can confidently say no-one on earth tries to be like me.

cadelaide · 04/06/2008 14:24

Except you DSM, are you copying my posting style?

Enid · 04/06/2008 14:24

maybe she was cross when she saw you had a bob because she had already booked her haircut and was gutted she was planning something that would make her look like the curtain twitcher over the road?

StripeyKnickersSpottySocks · 04/06/2008 14:26

Oh yes, your "real life, non-internet" life sounds sooooooooo fascinating. You must have so much to keep you busy

mynameisbond · 04/06/2008 14:27

I can't understand why your neighbour doesn't seem to like you. You sound like such a lovely person........

colacubes · 04/06/2008 14:29

lol funny funny funny!

Goober chill out, you cant start a thread about being "wonderful, everyone wants to be you", and not expect someone to ask, whats so wonderful about you!!

I doubt shes so obsessed, I would assume that you are, a self indulged egomaniac, who truly believes she is as wonderful as she thinks she is...

But ultimately, you are no better than anyone else, you too are a mn, with a pretend virtual life, so welcome to the club, we are happy you are here.

Dont give in because you took some heat, you are not wonderful on here darling you are invisible, so your words have to be your strength not your house or car!

WowOoo · 04/06/2008 14:29

Hee Hee. That was funny!
D'you know, I got pregnant at the same time as someone else and I hate someone a bit coz I'm a bit jealous. What a mad world, eh?!!

I might come on here again though as I love to PROCRASTINATE. It rocks!

WowOoo · 04/06/2008 14:30

P.S Am not really jealous of anyone else. I love my cellulite and wobbly bits to bits...!

MrsThierryHenry · 04/06/2008 14:32

Please STOP!!! Stop making me laugh on this thread because I'm meant to be looking for a job and if I don't find one soon my DH is going to go ape!

Poor Goober. Bless.

Damn! Am meant to be looking for another job too...
Ms Henry, you are a killjoy! Tell DH there are far more important things in life than money, jobs, power....OH no, don't bother actually. Will do it too now.

GreenElizabeth · 04/06/2008 14:37

I agree with DSM

If people copy me I wouldn't be quite so quick to notice.

And a bob?!???? trendsetter and bob in the same sentence

savoycabbage · 04/06/2008 14:37

Now WowOoo is copying my wobbly bits. Just cos I have got wobbly bits now you have got some!
