Privacy fence and disliking ppl

It’s a shame you don’t live in England!! All gardens pretty much have 6 ft fences! For this reason 😂😂

@Kathryn we have a damn chain link fence that goes up to my waist 😒

Ugh this is why I don’t want to live in a subdivision lol I don’t want neighbors. If the landlord is hesitant tell them you’ll pay for it to be put up you just want the privacy.

I’d speak to her in a different language lol that’s a tough one but I’d talk to her about it…eventually accept It with boundaries unless you can afford to move or pray she does!! I LOVE my privacy but maybe she’s lonely as hell

@Jovana we just moved here 🫠 I know she’s lonely but I honestly don’t care.. we moved here to have a backyard and to enjoy it I want to be able to enjoy it without someone bothering me and my kid every time we step out.

Maybe she’s lonely but that does sound shitty. Either a fence or tall bushes that block her view.

@Kathryn and the bloody neighbours still tend to bug us!

@Kristine they do! 😂😂😂 when they can hear you …. The amount of times I’ve tipped toed away! 😂😂

@🩷 Patience 🩷 is HATE THAT! If I owned the house the first thing I’d do is put up a 6 foot fence!

we had a neighbor that would literally talk non stop for 30 minutes or more if you ran into her. soooo incredibly annoying 🫠🫠 thank god she moved lol. if you can get a fence

I’d definitely speak to the landlord and if she/he can put something up then you can blame them for it as well!

@🩷 Patience 🩷 I would definitely talk to the landlord before talking to the neighbor

I had an old lady neighbour like this and she would always steal our bins on bin day and we would have to go and get it from her house and get caught in convos with her, everytime we got a visitor she would ask them who they are, she was there for 3 couples before us and they all moved away. Needless to say so did we 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I would 100% ask the landlord for a privacy screen of some sort

@Olivia I lived in an apartment with a man like this Nextdoor and he is why we moved away. He was more nosy than this woman and would come out in just underwear lol but I still dislike it. I hate ppl like this so much. I know they are lonely but it really isn’t my issue and I know that makes me sound so rude but idc 🫠🫠

@🩷 Patience 🩷 I 100% feel you 😂 we even tried to tell her sons when they would come over but I don’t think they wanted to take on the burden of a nosey mum either 😂

Do you think if you start giving her one word answers/responses whenever she talks to you she’ll get the hint?

One of our neighbors is an old drunk lady and she's trespassed on our property countless times and even broke into our house when we were renting it out because "she was friends with the previous owners". We've been very blunt with her that we don't want to be her friend or socialize lol

I am very much introverted and hate that my husband talks to our neighbors because now they try talking to me. Even the kids in the complex. I just ignore or give them short answers until they get the hint. With the kids ive told them to stop talking to me but also like they shouldn't be talking to people they don't know. Hopefully your landlord can help out. But you might have to just set boundaries with your neighbor. Just like hey I'm trying to have a nice afternoon with my daughter, please give us some family time. Or something.

I swear I had your exact neighbor and fence. I HATED it. Even if you can’t put up a privacy fence you should be fine to use tarp, bamboo.. anything to block her view and get the point across

I had a neighbour like that nice enough but when I moved into my house it was like a small chicken wire fence it was awful I told her upfront about getting a fence soon she said I hope it’s not to big because I can’t see over and I enjoy speaking to you and well the old neighbours didn’t get a big fence I went no no ….. weeks went by next I slammed up a 6 ft fence 🤣 now she doesn’t say hi perfect 👌🏽 🤣 it was getting weird she would watch me hanging my clothes on the line and tell me she doesn’t do that way I and how I do it properly and pretty much commenting the way I hang my clothes up on the washing line 😅 we were thinking a head we wanted to start a family and have a dog so we thought more future now our child is 4 and have a dog haha

@Brittany I did that today even just not responding and she just resorted to talking to my daughter and asking for my dog to come out

They also have covers to put on the fence for privacy (not sure if that’s why you’re referring to). You could just get permission to put it up as they aren’t too expensive.

It takes a lot of courage to say, “Ok, nice to see you, I don’t want to talk anymore, we’re gonna do our own thing now. Please leave us alone.” It’s really hard. But it is possible to be really direct with people when they just can’t take a hint. It might save you the cost of a fence.

Oh man, I have no idea 😅 I love people and am so glad our neighbors are social haha! I do understand hating small talk though. Best of luck!
