a new young neighbour knocked to apologise for his boundary fence falling into our garden. I was so relieved that he was nice and reasonable that when he started talking about the things he'd had to do to his new home I began comparing notes and dragged the poor man in to show him around! The poor bloke mumbled something about 'nice house' and made a quick get-away! Why the heck did I do that? 
Shouldn't worry about it. He's probably gone home talking about how nice the lady next door is.

Because you are a nice person.
It's a bit like why do we say sorry when someone bumps into us, or somebody drops something and we pick it up.
I am sure he will be happy to know 'that mad woman' next door is a decent sort. Don't lend him any money though.
Did you come over all Mrs Bucket (bouquet).
