My OH and I are really the newbies on our road, only been here a few years and although we speak to everyone, check up on them if they're poorly etc (just like everyone else does around here) we do not visit anyone on a regular basis, for coffee etc.
This morning, OH and myself were setting off for a walk when one of the neighbours called us over and asked for a bit of help, him and his wife wanted a piece of furniture moving and he couldn't do it alone - his wife is quite frail. It was absolutely no trouble for us and between the three of us we got it moved to where they wanted it quickly and safely.
We stayed chatting for a few minutes and another neighbour tapped on their door and walked straight in - something we would never assume to do tbh. Her face was an absolute picture when she saw us two standing in the lounge - if looks could kill I wouldn't be typing this now.
Seemingly, she goes over at the same time on the same day every week and does not like the other couple associating with anyone else but her - I should add that she was not the kind of person to help anyone move furniture either. She is possessive and obviously of the opinion "they're my friends so back off"!
On the way back from our walk 'she with the face like thunder' was in her garden, we said hello very politely and she totally blanked us.
OH is of a mind to drop in next week just before Mrs Sulky Knickers as he has named her, to taunt her yet more.
Does anyone else have a neighbour like this? What makes people be of the opinion that people can't associate freely with whom they like?
