Mad neighbour

I'd stop winding yourself up by telling her the deeds say.... It's not working, she doesn't care and you are left frustrated.

Next time you see her say something like 'lovely day' and keep walking, she will soon move on to the next thing to moan about.

Remember she is old and will soon be shouting at St Peter for not opening the pearly gates. So when she moans about the gate post, X, Y Z just say your glad she noticed 'said item' you think 'said item' is lovely but then we are not all the same one mans water is another mans wine and all that.

Your neighbour will always moan about something but if she thinks you don't care she move on to the next person who she thinks she can upset more.

She cant get into a shouting match if you just ignore her. Move her bin, get in the car and drive over her, sorry, drive off.

Can you block her in by the way? Not that you should, but if she tries to get out one day and finds her door bricked up, she might think twice!

There isnt any point in talking to (or trying to), so just either ignore her or do as much as you can to make her life awkward! Wont do any good but you might feel better for it.

As said before, Take the wheelie bin out for a walk, Or I'd take her out for a walk and "lose her".

I used to live next door to someone like this! It's not the same person, as my neighbour died about 10 years ago, not long after I moved out.

As others have said, you can't reason with someone unreasonable. All you can do it vent here, move the wheelie bin with a wry smile and remember that it is probably the most important thing in her life right now. Soon, someone else will upset her and you will be flavour of the month again.

My dispute started when I asked her politely to stop feeding the pigeons in the back yard. My yard was ankle deep in pigeon droppings and it was disgusting. She also used to feed a disgusting yowling tom cat which cr*pped everywhere. She held my request against me for years. It used to get me down but then she drove everyone else nuts too. We used to set off bangers in the back alley, run like hell to the front and sit round the front of the house chatting when the thing went off. Once she threatened me with a hammer in her hand :eek: and she was the only person I ever knew to be banned from Tesco.

But I wasn't all horrid and DH & I saved her life twice when she had messed up her insulin. If she wasn't eating properly she was more crazy and after a bonkers episode, we would keep an eye out for her because twice we and the police had to break in when she collapsed on the floor.

Jemima, good luck and don't worry. She's probably just jealous that you are making her place look dowdy by comparison.

How is she going to be able to cut off your access, and enforce that? Putting a wheelie bin in the way is not going to stop you, just move it out of the way. She's an old lady, she's hardly capable of physically preventing you from doing so.

Quite, just move the bin I have found yoour comments regarding MAD and a NIGHTMARE to be rather offensive, seems to me you have an elderly not quite with it neighbour who probably needs some understaning and compasion rather than the rant you have put on here

I take it she owns her house, and isn't a tenant?

Any evidence of younger relatives visiting at any stage?

Any evidence of council social workers or carers visiting at any stage?

Tend to agree with a previous poster, if she's at this stage now, it may not be long before she either departs for a more 'caring' home with those of her own age, or makes a more permanent departure. Wouldn't wish anything bad upon her, it's just the way of things at her time of life.

Meanwhile, smile, keep a cool head, and keep the moral high ground by merely wishing her 'Good Day', 'Good Morning' or whatever, and if she moans about anything, excuse yourself with 'Got to dash - late for a business meeting' and shoot off. Fingers crossed next time she sees you, she doesn't remember the conversation.

Just carry on using your legal right to access. If its blocked,photograph it then move it. Keep notes in a diary, be low key,dont make a big scene of it. If you see her in the street,push her over....sorry no,,shouldnt have said that.

Thank you for making my night by making me giggle and forgetting my house troubles for the first time all day!! Thank you!!!

Oh and just remembered - my old slighty crazy great aunty once saw her neighbour pour a glass of water over my aunty's cat - next day my aunty took a bucket of water and poured it over her neighbour!! NOT making any suggestions but remembering it made me laugh!!!
