Grumpy neighbour

I've lived next door to this person for 15 years but I've finally had enough and have decided to sell up and move on. I've never really had a proper conversation with them as whenever I've seen them at the supermarket or on the street they just glare at me and make me feel like I shouldn't even dare speak to them. Take today for example, I saw them come home on their bike, a typical sit up and beg style bike which they look absolutely ridiculous on with their full Rabobank kit! Anyway I thought I'd make one last effort and invite the grumpy fecker to my leaving party, I made up a conversation starter about needing the lend of a ladder but blimey, what a miserable git, far too busy he said. Honestly the sooner I can sell up and get the hell out of here the better.

    momentarily from the herd and thinks for himself.

    Can we all come to your leaving party. We can have it in the garden and make as much noise as possible. See if we can bring him to new heights of grumpiness.

    PARRRRRRTTTTTYYYYYYYY :D

    Why don't you lean over the fence in the period before moving and mutter often and with looks of consternation "I don't believe it". When you see them on there bikes "I don't believe it".... etc Have some fun at their expense.

    As a leaving pressie, slip a couple of bits of meat under the fence, cover them in a little soil and watch the bluebottles hatch.

    Well what a very strange day. I had a couple of viewings today and was feeling very optimistic that I was going to find a buyer and get the hell away from old misery guts next door, but it was as if he was determined to try and put off anybody from buying my property. I mean who the heck blares out Justin Bieber songs at full blast in the middle of the day? And then just as I was showing a very nice young family around the main upstairs bedroom who should appear outside the window standing on a ladder wearing nothing but a smile and some fingerless mitts? Yes the grumpy feckwit from next door who told me only yesterday he was too busy to get his ladder out! The youngest of the family screamed so loudly at this sight that I fear she may be traumatised for a long while.

    He's a very strange guy and his mixed signals are really confusing me. He ignores me for 15 years but the minute I look like I may be going he's paying me more attention than ever.

    He doesn't like you, yet he fears the thought of a new set of neighbours to have to ignore.

    Keep an eye on his behaviour, he might actually make it very difficult for you to sell.

    I had a dodgy neighbour a few years ago, he was a right tw@t and moaned about anything he could.
    We moved on and rent the house out and once a year pop back in a car that costs twice as much as his house. I give him a wink and leave.
    I know it's childish but it makes me feel good for half hour.

    Other than that, I've always had great neighbours. I couldn't imagine living next to someone horrid these days. I just want to get on and enjoy where we all live so I really do feel for you.

    It is illegal to actively try and hinder the sale I a property through various means so if it does become a pattern I would speak with the police.
    That is however a double edged sword as it is now a legal requirement to inform the potential purchaser if you have any known neighbour disputes.
