completely insane neighbor

Old Man · 10 Jul 2012 at 17:28

I live in a manor house which has been converted to 6 flats and there is this nice sized communal garden, which is for all to use and enjoy. My problem is that one person living in the building must be completely mental as she has at least 70 statues of gnomes scattered all around the yard, a couple of tables, benches and several huge (3 feet high) flower pots and multi-colored lights woven through the hedges which blink on and off at night.

Couple of additions: it's 9 flower pots 3 feet high and the landlord has approved of the mess already.

Anybody else have a completely insane neighbor?

Problem you say? If the garden is for all to use and enjoy, then you have some input on what goes on there surely?

"I don't like your statues and lights" would be a good start.

What is short, says 'please save us' and wears 70 pairs of red lederhosen?

A party of gnomes on the way to the market.

Get real.

I'll let a lot of stuff pass, but this is just a bit too much I would say for most people. She adds a bit more each day to the yard, so sure I'll take some pics.

Hahaha I hope you see the irony in your post... "I'll let a lot of stuff pass, but this is just a bit too much I would say for most people". How quintisentially Old Fart British.

There are people on this forum posting about insane neighbours that actually do make their life hell... physical assault, music at all hours... and you are like this because some dotty old woman has a lot of gnomes in the garden? Personally I love stuff like that, it's a touch of fun and a little eccentric. Stop being a Victor Meldrew.

My neighbour is completely doo dally, he objects to my lovely garden ornaments.

So far i've collected a number of lovely (and large!) flowerpots for anyone to use, as well as some exquisit statues. My neighbour didn't seem content so i added gnomes, everyone loves gnomes, and placed them strategically around our communal garden.

He's still in a bad mood when he goes out there... completely potty.

I'd be a bit annoyed if there was no room to have a bbq with friends over.
