Reasonable request or out of order?

Our neighbour works from home, as do me and my wife I hasten to add. Now as some of you are aware it is the school holidays, bear this bit in mind.

We don not get on with our neighbour, not our choice but that is the way it is. A couple of weeks ago she complained about noise, we were having new bathroom floors and the fitter cut the tiles outside on his machine, she suggested in future that we run by her any DIY and the like we were having done, why I am not sure but she did. The thing that irks me about this is that fact that about a month before she had exactly the same type of work carried out with the fitter she employed cutting his tiles outside on a machine it did not bother us in the slightest.

Today she has asked if we can keep out daughter in the house during the day, 9am until 5pm if possible. Being fair she has not singled us out she has also asked another neighbour who has a boy the same age as our daughter the same thing.

To be honest we are a bit taken aback by this and think it is a little unreasonable, they are not overly noisy children, they are just children playing.

So, is it a resonable request or is it over the top?

She's being completely unreasonable and if she chooses to complain to environmental health doesn't have a leg to stand on.

I would ignore all of her requests and live your life as you see fit, not as she's trying to dictate.
 
Slinwagh.... TAKE DOWN THAT CORPORATE MACHINE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

My opinion is the same as most others on here, she is being ridiculous. If the kids are not running around screaming at her through 10000W PA systems then just laugh in her face.
 
We've got someone like that in our street. Everyone tells him to **** off now and ignores him. He's got everyone annoyed with him as complains about every scrap of noise he hears with his super hearing. The other month the next door neighbours teenage daughter was having a party and he came out of his house and started shouting at them for making a noise. 3 things annoyed me, 1, he was shouting at a 14 year old girl, 2, I couldn't hear them and I had my windows open and 3, it was 10pm :rolleyes:

Just tell your neighbour to **** off and ignore them.
 
I work from home and there are kids next door, but there's no way I'd complain about it, they're just kids playing.

They can be noisy little beggars sometimes, if I need some quiet I just shut the window and put the radio one, problem solved.

Sounds like she's just a miserable cow!

First of all -

1. You do not need to run any DIY work by her and she has no leg to stand on if she trys complain to an outer body.

2. she cant make your kids stay inside, if they are very noisy children she has a right to ask you to keep the noise down. Other than that she can go fly!!!

it is unreasonable, yes.

My upstairs neighbour has a wee lad who runs riot during the holidays. Whenever they are going out in the car he sits in the front seat and jams the horn for about 30 seconds. And she is forever shouting at him from her window. *sigh*
 
Crap in an envelope, place it on her doorstep, set it alight and hide somewhere with a Camcorder.

Upload to Youtube for all to see her stamp the fire out only to find she has a squishy present inbetween her toes.

Joking!
 
Our neighbour complained because of where our Wheelie bins were situated. Her mother was visiting her one day (80+) and knocked on the door and said "Elizabeth is not very well, you know, and the last thing she wants to see when she looks out her window is your dirt and rubbish"

We told her to do one, and then we got a letter from the council asking us to move them. We never did.

Just thought i'd mention it. She might send a snotty letter to the council. Since its a ludicrous demand, i wouldnt worry.

Kill her dog.

I had a similar thought....

Get a brown paper bag...then get your whole family to independantly take a dump in it. Fill it up reaaaaal good.

Then, take it outside her front door, set fire to the top of the bag, ring her doorbell and run like mad.
 
I had a neighbour who smacked on old man coz his dog barked once.... i grated blocks of bright orange cheddar through his letterbox for months! Just push the block through and it grates as it goes through!!!! lol
