Sazz1006 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I moved house last week to a lovely bungalow after 4 years in a flat. On Monday, my brother came round to do some bits and pieces, including putting a rotary airer in the garden. Within seconds, my doorbell rang and a woman was ranting on my doorstep about not wanting to look at my washing out of her kitchen window - I didnt know who she was, where she lived or anything but she was almost abusive. She had obviously been watching everything that was going on from her place 3 doors away. Sh has a weird kitchen extension with a picture window that looks sideways up across everyone's gardens I was completley taken aback - she suggested impractical places to put it and said how ridiculous to have a garden as nice as mine then put washing in it! Silly me took it down but now I am sooooo angry that she could turn up, not even introduce herself, not even say welcome to your new home and make me feel like some sort of idiot for wanting to dry my washing outside! Any thoughts anyone, is a rotary airer a carbuncle on the gardens of Beauchief? I feel she could turn into a real harrasser (if that's a word) and am really quite upset Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tess Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Tell her to sod off, its only for a few hours a day and if she doesnt like it she shouldnt have built an extention which allows her to see into other peoples gardens! I feel so sorry for you to have to put up with someone as awful as that. Oh, and welcome to your new home Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poppins Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Sounds like she's testing you, tell her off and nip it in the bud before she gets any other big ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pk014b7161 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 well i agree with tess only i would put something a bit stronger than sod before the word off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Talker Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 I don't believe there are any laws against hanging your washing out, even in Beauchief! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neeeeeeeeeek Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Take her an old newpaper and some tape round for her window so she does not have to see it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unrecordings Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 yep - completely out of order... ...but a handy little ice-breaker to get to know your next door neighbour who is probably pig sick of her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Put it back up if you want. If she whines again, just tell her that your family are of Austrailian decent, and one of yer distant reletives invented the rotary washing line and that you take offence at her belittling your forefarthers contributions to the evolution of the world. She'll either be dumbfounded and hopefully speachless or so confused that she'll wonder off trying to work out if you were takin' the wee or not.

Unrecordings Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 i think nee...eek has the solution - a charitable person might even use old copies of people's friend in this situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
