These guys are technically customers, so I am putting this thread in here.
We love our next door neighbours, so we were very upset to learn that they were selling their house and moving away to be closer to the rest of their family.
They had sold the house and were all ready to go. It was literally a couple of days before they were due to move, when they got a call saying the people who were planning on buying their house had dropped out. Their reason was that "they didn't think they could afford it anymore." Something that should have been worked out before they even agreed to buy the house!
So the next door neighbours were understandably annoyed. They had literally packed up everything they owned, and didn't have a scrap of food left in the house (we had to give them some of ours to see them through a few days). They put the house back on the market, and waited for a new buyer.
Three months later (now) they get a call. The original buyers have decided that they can afford the house now afterall, but they would like to come and have another look around. As soon as they get in the house, the new neighbour lady pipes up.
NNL: Those aren't the same curtains you had the last time I looked! Where have the nice ones gone?
ON: I took those down. They are my good curtains. They are coming with me when I move.
NNL: Well, I wish you'd said! You know, I think you should knock another £1000 off the asking price! It's only fair!
Old Neighbour agreed. The only reason she agreed was because she is now at a point where she desperately needs to move. They have a new house that they are paying for that is empty, and they really want to move into it.
NNL wandered around the house, commenting on everything.
NNL: I am going to knock this wall through, it's horrible...
NNL: All of this is getting ripped out.
NNL: I can't wait to get rid of this wallpaper!
ON couldn't take anymore.
ON: Could you please keep that to yourself? This has been my home for 30 years. I don't want to imagine it getting torn apart.
NNL: Hmph!
NNL looked out into the garden.
NNL: And I hope you are going to leave me those nice lawn orniments!
Later in the day, ON came over to my house with a massive box of lawn orniments and told us all about it.
ON: I was actually going to leave these behind when we moved, but I want to make sure that bitch doesn't get her hands on them. I want you to have them.
I thanked ON a lot, and then gave her an evil idea.
Me: Make sure you take out every single lightbulb when you move, and the curtain rails.
ON: I love it! Yes, I will definately do that!
These jerks are going to be my new neighbours
