Reply to: Woman next door is ignoring me

I imagine, given that this site is for techno-nerds, that there are a lot of radio hams on here - it's an allied hobby.

Sorry, I'll PM the callsign, cos it can be used to get my real name and address.

Thanks for the helpful suggestions. I'm not desperate to sort it out, given that I've just found out she can be a moody cow with other neighbours too.

Are you going to stop sleeping with her on the sly or not? Might make a difference!

One shouldn't tulip on one's own doorstep. If anyone else would like a go though, she's no oil painting but OK, and as everyone knows moody cows can be enthusiastic when they are on their game.

Always manage to fall out with my neighbours. Its amazing how childish some people come be.

Got a shared driveway with 2 other houses (we're in the middle). End house kept constantly letting their visitors park and block us in so we had to keep knocking the door if we wanted to park/go out. They just thought we were being unreasonable.

Although, they used to go out on the piss on a saturday night. Teenage sons would bring about 20 mates around for a 'jam' session on the guitars/drums in the garage while they were out. Same neighbour thought I was being unreasonable when I pointed out nicely what was going on when they were out.

Terraced house? Shared drive?

Pauper.

I had similar problems with two lads who live across the street from me they are nice enough but they kept parking in front of my house and they each have a car. If it wasn't them it was one of their mates, I was laying a new patio so I decided I'd had enough I took a concrete block onto the drive about a metre away from the car and preceded to cut through it with a stihl saw and ensured that I aimed it so that his car was covered in concrete dust. Suffice to say I haven't had any real problems since

"I'd like to offer advice but I never fall out with my neighbours and I just ignore them from the start".

Words of wisdom !

On my first day, I started putting up an aerial (I'm a radio ham)

Neighbour: "What's that?"
Me: "It's a radio aerial"
Neighbour: "What sort of radio?"
Me: "A business radio"
Neighbour: "What sort of business radio?"
Me: "A none of your b***dy business radio"

Result: Five years of peace and total silence :-)

It might be less confrontational if your wife spoke to her woman-to-woman. Or maybe speak to her husband with your concerns?

CAT FIGHT!!!!

You should have realised her hubby was in the closet with the camcorder. You will know for next time.

Give it a few days she may just calm down, if not ask the husband if you have offended.

After 5 years of happy and cordial neighbouring, the woman next door has taken umbridge with me and Mrs Styles.

I think it's because we had a skip outside our house for two days last week while we had some garden work done. She complained to the workmen that she couldn't get her car past the skip, they pointed out that the lorry that dumped the skip there managed it, so she should be able to.

Anyway, she may have seen this as rude, and by association blames us. Her husband is fine, he said hello to me in chipper fashion only yesterday.

However, there might be another reason. This work includes planting shrubs which will prevent her various visitors from tramping over my lawn to get to her front door, something I've never complained about, but which she's never put them right about. As she's a bit of a social climber, I suspect she's been telling them it's her lawn.

Never having fallen out with next-door neighbours before, I'd appreciate some advice from the experts on here. Should I just ignore her, or carry on saying hello and ignore her ignoring me, or something else?

I'd like to offer advice but I never fall out with my neighbours and I just ignore them from the start.

On the flip side though, my new house building project does appear to have upset the neighbours with lots of curtain twitching and someone coming out to tell me I can't build here as it's her carpark. As it happens it was a little joke, because fed up with being watched on our every move at the weekend, my mate & myself when measuring the house thought it would be funny to measure the car park(which is not mine). Lo and behold it took about 1 minute before said neighbour appeared all flustered.

I suggest you ask Wilmslow.

Wilmsloooooow!
