Neighbour From Hell Part 5
Earlier this afternoon I was making my front door close a little more easily when my neighbour comes out and, surprisingly comes over to me.
More surprisingly, she friendlily asked if I was called ‘Stu’.
I’m not so I said so, and the conversation continued roughly thus:
“So what is your name?”
“I’m not sure I should tell you, we’re not really friends are we?”
“Oh, why not?”
“Because you play loud music at unsociable hours.”
“You didn’t ask my question.”
“What?”
“You didn’t answer me.”
“You didn’t ask a question.”
“I don’t play music.”
“Do you remember when you last played music?”
“Er.. (music starts from her house) now.”
“And when else did you play music? At night, when we’re trying to sleep - my girlfriend and I have both got jobs, …”
(Interrupting, getting up) “Oi…”
So the mention of jobs obviously upset her, but is that my problem?
As she was having difficulty participating in a simple conversation she wanders off, toddler in tow.
Later we discover that she has thrown eggs at our house. It’s sad that this is all she can think of, but it’s sad that she causes the anger in the first place.
Update
I spoke to some other neighbours and was told two things:
- She went into a shop run by one of the neighbours and declared herself to be “The Neighbour From Hell”.
- There was a nasty physical fight between a couple of guys who came from her house the other night.
