I just discovered I like tormenting my neighbour

Great tactics, vampirequeen

Can't be doing with her type at all.

So carry on!

I love it VampireQueen brilliant tactics , pretending not to know she’s trying to ignore you ! she must be seething inside . Be careful she doesn’t step up the trouble though .

I can just imagine what she’s like . Stupid woman .

We have a neighbour in our cul-de-sac who, over the years, has written letters to the council complaining about all of us for one thing or another.
Even his wife used to say, "Oh god, he's off again."
When I became aware that I'd been his latest target I decided to treat him like my new best friend: every time I drove past him I waved and gave him a big beaming smile.
The confusion on his face was priceless ?

I think we have all had to deal with someone like your neighbour!
If she wants to be so ignorant, let her! If she's stupid enough to be asking above the market value for her flat, that is her problem!
The fact that you tidied the bit of garden in front of the flats will be working more to her advantage than she obviously thinks and next time she shouts at you for placing a pot of flowers somewhere, I'd ignore her - it's not her garden, she has no right.
All in all, she is probably just a sad, lonely woman, possibly in financial difficulty because she can't sell her flat but being very unfair in blaming you - she would have been aware when she bought her flat that the one below was social housing and probably got her flat cheaper than she would have anyway!

Hahah, you’ve made me smile VampireQueen and it’s morning, not my best time. I’d keep up with the greetings, that’s the way to do it.

That's the way Vampirequeen - aren't there some awful people in this world ?

..and, of course, you must offer to fetch any shopping while you're out, cos....neighbours helping neighbours is what it's all about these days? Try that on her, OP. She'll hate it

I see that V3ra has posted something similar...great minds and all that

Oh I love that Alishka. I'm very tempted to up the anti that way lol

She tried to turn other neighbours again us but it only worked with one. The others judge us by who we are not who they were told we are. And as DH is the go to guy for bike adjustments and jump starting flat batteries she was on a loser from day one with most of them

I’d put your lovely tulips back or some other lovely flower back, and scatter flower seeds everywhere.

vq.

I saw a guy on a property programme, once, asking a price he 'needed' to get rather than what he was told it was worth.
Silly people.

Well done vampirequeen! I hate snobs and as I’m a council house kid myself have never forgotten where I came from and don’t understand how folks make judgement calls on their neighbours based on whether they’re renting or not!

Keep up the ultra politeness and shame her!

Oh dear "Vampirequeen" the joys of sharing a communial garden you always find one who thinks it is their own private space don't you.?
When we lived in our HA 1st floor flat access to the garden was via double gates at the side of the property my husband put up a wirley washing line for me in line with our lounge window so technically our garden space the neighbour at the end had a right strop and said my washing made the garden untidy and like a laundry she also objected to my birthday party celebrations when all the other neighbours where invited between 2-6pm so called the HA and complained.
Although I loved living there and all my neighbours where lovely I was so pleased to be offered my bungalow with its own private garden

She obviously thinks you care enough about her to be upset that she is ignoring you - how conceited is that! Continue to be your friendly self - it will drive her demented .

A woman after my own heart, be ‘awfully nice’ there’s nothing like a bit of harmless sport.

I know! I have a couple of neighbours while being very reserved themselves and trying to ignore you, mentioned to another neighbour that I don't speak to them! Well ever since I go out of my way to say morning loudly and waiving, and yes they are in pain when they've got to reply!

Way to go ???

Good for you!

I think you have hit on the best way of dealing with her. Please keep us up to date with how it is going

Nothing more satisfying vampirequeen than being overly nice and playing the 'daft laddie' to someone who is trying to wind you up.

We lived in a flat with big communal gardens. I had a patch to call my own,being a keen gardener. Someone didn't approve, as I was between seasons waiting for the frost to finish. She " planted " a whole load of plastic flowers overnight. ........I was not happy.

plastic flowers can be moved

The little patch of flowers and plants is actually shown in her estate agent photos

Smothering her with love!

It's very difficult having neighbours who are not very cooperative, or even nice.
I find it actually makes me feel much better if I try and behave kindly towards them, whereas if I don't I am left with a bitter feeling which keeps replaying in my head.
It may not make them nicer but it definitely makes you feel better.
