Original poster

My single neighbour has a woman round

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?

Yes I get now that she was taking the piss. As said, there have been so many people saying equally ridiculous things but not jesting it's hard to tell. The dogs should have given it away😂😂😂 I really do have a sense of humour but it's wearing thin being in an area that has been subject to tighter restrictions for months and now in Tier 3, and listening to people making up their own rules. Guess I should keep off coronavirus threads!

The bread and milk as non-essentials threads were definitely hilarious, agreed. The unbelievable thing was that these people seemed to actually believe the shit that they were spouting, which was worrying.

I think the “use cheese instead of milk” was a particular highlight.

Cornflakes with grated cheese, yum yum.

@MadameBlobby wtf!

Another highlight didn't someone get shouted at for not social distancing their car when they pulled up alongside at a red light?

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 10:35

I want you to imagine you were a single female living in a house where you are under constant surveillance from a male neighbour that seems to hate you. Where, on the rare occasion you brought a man home, you would get a policeman's knock on your door. What would you calll that man, and if it was a friend what would you advise her too do??

To be honest, I feel that people are guessing a lot about the people involved. If the man in the example asked me what do about the neighbour who was inviting boyfriends round, I would give the same advice which is to do nothing. But I am not sure I would call them an arsehole and a bitch without knowing more about the people involved.

In all honesty this has probably shocked & scared me more than Covid.

LilacPebbles · 26/10/2020 10:39

Omg imagine having a cuppa and getting the 'one lump or two?' question, about cheese! 😷

Eesha · 26/10/2020 10:41

Yikes, I went round to my boyfriend's this weekend. I didn't stay over as he was worried about his neighbours downstairs. I thought he was being silly but reading this makes me wonder whether people will report us!

Remmy123 · 26/10/2020 10:53

Do not report!! Wow I can't believe some horrible people out there. He isn't having a rave ffs

Topseyt
So your excusing the name calling posts, theres no need for using awful language directed at someone.

loobyloo1234 · 26/10/2020 10:53

Honestly who knew there were so many curtain twitchers until Covid. I cant believe people have this much time on their hands to be worried about one single adult having another single adult over. I don't even know if half my neighbours are single or not - I don't spend my life watching them funnily enough

4pence · 26/10/2020 10:54

If you have a problem hearing them from your side of the wall .....why not join them on their side of the wall ?

Sorry I am talking from the perspective of the person being spied on. If I was a female or my friend was in the neighbours situation I would find the OP creepy, deranged and frankly dangerous.

Cheeseandwin5 · 26/10/2020 10:58

@4pence

hahahahaha

Topseyt · 26/10/2020 11:00

@MadameBlobby

Thanks for the link. Another fascinating lowlight highlight I had missed. 🤣😃 I see that that OP had her arse handed to her on a plate and scuttled off. People really do think that Covid 19 is the only illness that now afflicts people, and that it gives them some weird sense of entitlement to poke their beaks in.

People have lost their heads, and I agree that worries me more than the virus.

I definitely don't want anyone spying on me. But one should be fair and say that if you live in a terraced house, say, you do naturally know about people coming and going from your neighour's house. You don't need to be spying for that. My neighbour is a single mum and she has people coming and going all day long breaking the rules. I learned that not from spying but just from being in my own house.

notevenat20 · 26/10/2020 11:03

Sometimes she has garden parties with lots of people. Her garden is tiny like mine and you can hear them talking from half the rooms in my house. We don't all live in mansions in the country :)

OliveTree75 · 26/10/2020 11:05

OP give up on the neighbourhood watch. The amount of people carrying out surveillance on their neighbours is crazy

Think it was this one @Topseyt

😂 This one was brilliant.

@Fawnfour

Topseyt So your excusing the name calling posts, theres no need for using awful language directed at someone.
I didn't excuse name calling. I didn't do it either. I just said that reporting them to the police would be a twat move. IF the OP actually goes ahead and does it.

You clearly have a bee in your bonnet about the word twat!

Cheeseandwin5 · 26/10/2020 11:18

I have to wonder if this is a troll because honestly I can not understand why a person would think they are acting reasonably when its obviously that they are not.
If on the off chance, this is true, than I think the OP needs to make some friends/hobbies. She strikes me as vary sad and lonely person. I think she is blaming her neighbours on the lack of happiness in her own life and whatever happens, I think she will suffer from it. No one wants to be involved with a person like this and I can only see other ppl distancing themselves from her, enhancing her isolation.
I can not image knowing what the outgoings and incomings of my neighbours for the last 2 plus years. I would honestly cry if my life had come to that.

Petportraits · 26/10/2020 11:27

None of your business? I would hate you as a neighbour listening in and monitoring my life. They could have formed a bubble. Would you not be unnerved if he was posting on a forum about your comings and goings and the company you keep?

Fawnfour · 26/10/2020 11:27

Not surprisingly the poster has removed herself from ignorant disgraceful behaviour. Mumsnet is full of it.

giantangryrooster · 26/10/2020 11:36

I'll bite Fawnfour you think it's not okay to call op a bit of a twat, when she is clearly trying to get at a neighbor she doesn't like. But it's fine she calls him an arse?

I think mn can be harsh, but in this instance I think op had it coming being spiteful and nosey.

No I can understand you would take an interest, but wouldn't the information fade away, unless you had a reason to hold it (bad behaviour etc ). Also, your example seems to be from a position to make sure your single mum neighbour is ok.
Can you imagine knowing with certainty that your neighbour last had a female guest two years ago? Or the comings and goings of at least three of your neighbours.
