My single neighbour has a woman round

287 replies

Neighbour is an eternally single batchelor - he appears to have pulled a woman and is getting her drunk in his living room (naaaice). He does this from time to time. I can hear them through the walls.

Without going into details he’s a selfish arse - should I report him? If I do l, he’ll surely know it’s me. Will anyone actually care?

Ewww. Just being this involved makes my skin crawl a little.

FFS - leave them alone you curtain-twitcher

It does seem as though it is someone he knows, though lockdown doesn't mean go visiting. But it would make a worse nonsense of lockdown if 'working girls' are going house to house though.

An unfortunate thing has happened to the postcard adverts for jobs offered and wanted. Various domestic cleaners have found customers are assuming the word 'cleaner' can be misused in the way the word 'masseur' was.

And, who could have guessed it, the first thing m.p's did was declare cleaners were exempt from lockdown law.

You sound like exactly the sort of neighbour that nobody would want.

Actually I’m not particularly pleased to have him as my neighbour.

He doesn’t do this often. The last time I’m aware it happened (quite a few years ago) the woman sounded upset with him when she left and his response sounded very threatening. I don’t know what happened and what was said but it didn’t sound like a nice situation. I don’t think he actually likes women all that much.

You’re coming across as weird, creepy and pretty nasty. I wouldn’t want you as my neighbour. Besides, if he’s on his own he can form a support bubble with another household, even in Tier 3. If you report him you’ll be wasting police time and making yourself look ridiculous. Keep your beak out.

ClaireP20 · 25/10/2020 23:15

I has my mum over for an hour today. She isn't in my support bubble because she doesn't live alone, although my dad never speaks to her or leaves the house. Would you tell on me? Things aren't always black and white op x

giantangryrooster · 25/10/2020 23:15

Surely you are joking right?

MadameMeursault · 25/10/2020 23:17

@BumbleFlump

TBH normally I wouldn’t give a fig. In fact other single elderly gentleman two doors down frequently has his lady friend round but he’s lovely.

The only real reason I even considered reporting my immediate neighbour is because he is in fact an arse, like I said.

So people you judge to be nice can have their girlfriends round, but people you judge to be an arse can’t. Jeez OP do you realise how badly you come across. There’s only one arse in this street from what I can see, and it ain’t your neighbour.
Aquamarine1029 · 25/10/2020 23:17

You sound unhinged.

Flowersinthewindowstill · 25/10/2020 23:17

He's not had a woman over for years and you're thinking of reporting him Confused You sound obsessed OP.

BumbleFlump · 25/10/2020 23:18

Secondly, don't raise the stakes in an uncomfortable relationship with your neighbour. You have to live there!

Yep he’s already an arse, I definitely don’t want to make him any worse

FortunesFave · 25/10/2020 23:18

What do you mean "he's getting her drunk" ?

I'm sure she's participating in that via drinking the drinks. So she's at his, getting drunk with him.

bewilderedhedgehog · 25/10/2020 23:19

You are ridiculous. You say he did this a few years ago - leave the man alone!

raddledoldmisanthropist · 25/10/2020 23:19

I'm genuinely unsure whether you're trolling us or not

I did an advanced search fully expecting to find no posting history and press report. Terrifyingly OP has been posting for a while so presumably this is real.

We all do crazy things for love, OP. Give it a few days then get nicely drunk and go round in a long coat and nothing else. You only live once and at least (whatever the outcome) you'll be cured of the obsession.

NeonGenesis · 25/10/2020 23:23

If the noise is the problem then just bang on the wall, or go and knock on and ask him to quieten down.

All this informing on our neighbours shit is getting a bit much

Crankley · 25/10/2020 23:24

Can these busy body threads get any more pathetic? Hold the front page! Single man has sex with woman! Hmm

PickAChew · 25/10/2020 23:27

He's getting her drunk? Are you saying she's not consenting to being there and consuming alcohol?

Whatwouldscullydo · 25/10/2020 23:27

Hang on hes not had sex yet. Has he?

They could still be at opposite sides of the room...drinking and distancing

BumbleFlump · 25/10/2020 23:27

Quite honestly surprised by the quality of MN responses today. I have been accused of being a troll yet jumped on by those who behave in that way themselves - how bizarre 🤷🏻‍♀️

But yes the truth is I just don’t like him and that’s not a good enough reason to report. In fact my lovely neighbour on the other side has had her equally lovely sister here this weekend (although those two are basically a support bubble) and it never even occurred to me that they were doing something they shouldn’t.

@BumbleFlump

Just for clarification we are in an area where households aren’t allowed to mix inside
You can still have a support bubble.

Mind your own business.

WhatifIfeellikeacat · 25/10/2020 23:28

Are you going to be paid for reporting?

BumbleFlump · 25/10/2020 23:30

acerred this brings new meaning to ‘support bubble‘....He already has an elderly relative who’s he’s bubbling with

stevalnamechanger · 25/10/2020 23:31

She might be in his support bubble ... get a life

thepeopleversuswork · 25/10/2020 23:33

You sound small-minded, bored and vindictive. And disturbingly over-invested in the private life of a neighbour.

NC4Now · 25/10/2020 23:34

I don’t think being an arse is illegal. Not yet, anyway. Maybe when we move to tier 4.
