About 6 weeks ago we had a BBQ. We invited all the neighbours, only one couple couldn't come as the wife was drunk.
Through conversation we found out that only one couple cut the grass. (We share a garden) Anyway Derek spoke to the bloke and said he would quite happily help. Over the next weekend Derek cut back trees, cut the grass and generally did a major tidy up. Other neighbours thanked him. The only neighbours that said nothing was the woman who was drunk that night. It was her hubby that used to cut the grass himself.
I hope you followed that:roll:
Last night at 9.55 someone knocked on my front door. The neighbour...drunk again. She asked if she could talk to me. Giving her no encouragement I asked her what it was. She asked if she could come in and I said no as I was busy. She then went on to say she had been thinking. She could hardly talk! She wasn't happy that we had had 2 BBQ's and once singed the grass. I said that it had been an accident and that Derek had cut the grass since then and it had grown back fine. She said that she had lived here a lot of years and was used to looking down on lush grass. At that point I told her if she had anything to say to me to come back sober and at a decent time. I promptly shut the door.
The grass is knee long at the moment!!!! Derek was going to cut it at the weekend. When we moved in it was even longer.
I was really annoyed. I told Derek when he got home and he has said the only thing that's lush here is her!! He has no intention of doing anything else in the garden which is a shame but we still have the fenced off bit in the middle.
What do I do? Do I go and confront her today? or do I just leave it?
