Odd Neighbours / Neighbour Problems #3

No idea if it’s recorded or just being nosy outside our window, but twice this week they’ve quoted something very niche that I spoke about on the phone to a deceased relatives partner who lives across the country. Not even my husband has been privy to that conversation. The first time was a red flag I passed off as a strange coincidence to use the same turn of phrase as I had the night before, but tonight they slipped up and quoted a very specific financial figure in conversation, and from my shocked reaction they realised they’d fucked up and scarpered quickly.
Going back to my very first house I had a neighbour who did the same. She used to listen in and brazenly told me that she did to see if we were talking about her!! She did have lots of mental health problems, she actually ended up killing herself years down the line after I'd moved. Some cheeky bastards just can't help themselves though . I'd purposely chat rubbish about them with the window wide open, pretend to be on the phone and say what a nosy head they are 🤣 the house I live in now, you can hear absolutely everything so you have to be careful if windows are open etc. It is so annoying and rude though when people listen. It's creepy 😳
 
Mine have a camera in their garden and actively use it so they can come outside when I’m out to talk about what I’m doing, how fat I am, laugh that I don’t know about gardening, comment on changes I’ve made.
What??!!! This is f*cking insane behaviour!!
What is the age difference between you and your neighbours? Just out of interest!
How dare they comment on your body! I'm gobsmacked !
 
I too have some fairly odd neighbours, it's a small Irish housing estate of 28 houses with 2 large greens, Myself and hubby moved here 16 years ago. I'll give you a run down so. No.1 always bought by elderly people and well there's been 3 deaths in it, not linked. No 2, total oddball, rarely seen, has a daughter who's 7, rarely ever seen, never allowed out to play with the other kids, when they knock the door is angrily slammed in their faces. No 3 totally obnoxious rude and looks down on us all, no 6 bought a house in a town and in an estate and constantly complains about having neighbours. No 9, the nice house as its known, total OCD. Everything perfect even the grass each blade is exactly 10 mm. No 11 she's moved but was the crazy lady feared by kids hated by the rest of us, didn't cut the grass rubbish out in the garden. The new landlords are very odd also. No 12. Woman in her late 40s lives alone brilliant job but her parents come and clean her house, cut her grass and make her dinner. Even do her washing. She is also obnoxious. No 18 a young husband and wife newly moved in, she's very friendly, he is not. They've gotten the nickname the twins, they look so alike and at first we all thought they were brother and sister, finally No 21, the wife beater. He's so smary like butter wouldn't melt but they row constantly. Screaming at each other at all hours both professions but some of us have gotten together to make sure she is OK and to know we are here if she ever needs us.

Sorry can't believe I forgot no 18, he lived alone, comes from money but is an alcoholic he supposedly works in a bar. This year he took in a Ukraine under the itish scheme, I was surprised he didn't need the money. She's much much younger than him but loves to get dressed in front of the window with the blinds up and curtains open. Also likes to stand fully naked in the window. She thinks she's a super model. There is kids playing outside and have seen her. She knows exactly what she's doing. Creepy guy next door used to come out and watch her. I told her landlord she needed to stop. He said I wasn't the first to say it to him and finally she's stopped.

The neighbour across the way was back again stark naked in her window. I thought at first maybe she didn't realise but the fact she does it when everyone is coming home from work so she's get a full audience is bizarre. Who showers at 5 in the evening. She doesn't have a job, she's there most of the day. Can I report this? I find it uncomfortable because my 8 year old and other kids have seen her. I don't mind my husband he's a grown man he can look or not but my daughter I don't like it
 
Have some friends round, sit outside, few can# of beer, glass of wine, nibbles…
Then start discussing you4 neighbours. Loudly

We did this accidentally some years ago, one of our friends objected quite forcefully (with some extremely fruity language) to us questioning his PhD - followed swiftly by the neighbours retreating inside 😄 The neighbours are incredibly soft, though (as is the "Doctor" but we let that lie these days).
