Just moved house - unwelcoming neighbour

[cruxtilIdie]

if it was my garden it would be looking like an offshore wind farm now. Tell her to get down the stable and put her hight horse away.

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

 

Cheeky moo how rude !

 

I have mates in the police force, i could ask them to come and prod about in your garden and examine your patio - that would give the deranged old harridan something to think about LOL .

 

Or tell her that her nets are yellow, and she is welcome to use your washing line any time she likes should she feel the need

 

Ignore ignorance such as this, and enjoy your new home

Tell her you don't particularly like the idea of her constantly looking in your garden anyway, and if she doesn't like what she sees there, she can always look at her own garden instead.

Most people would like to be able to get on with their neighbour but this woman isn't exactly being friendly dictating what you can do or put in your own garden. I'm afraid I'd try and ignore any bad feelings she's generated in you and simply put the rotary back out. If she comes back again without you getting upset merely tell her to go away and it doesn't concern her, hopefully when she realises you can't be browbeaten she'll simply back off.

I must admit if it was me I'dd be tempted to do as some-one else suggests,and give her something to look at, teensy weensy undies comes to mind, then sit back and giggle.

stick to your guns sazz 1006 dont back down ( ps want time are you hanging the racey underwear out)

[Sazz1006]

Thanks again everybody. I shall be out there tomorrow - nothing offensive, just a bath towel - oops that's not what I'll be wearing, that's what I will hang on the line :-)

 

If she comes round I shall say I have taken advice from several sources (SF!) and that she has no right to dictate what I can or can't do in my garden.

 

As several people have pointed out, this isn't the sort of person that I would choose to spend any time with so I'm not worried about spoiling what may (or may never!) have been a life long friendship.
