The anger is what's in them, it's nothing to do with me- so yeah, unless she finds another outlet it looks like I'm gonna be the one on the receiving end... Honestly, it's better to just keep yourself to yourself I reckon. Lesson learned. She's feeding on a reaction to her actions. (which you're currently giving her a buffet of for whatever reason) Cut that off and she will get bored with you quickly. It's all about ego. Genuinely that's exactly what I've tried to do- I've just ignored it all hoping she'll get bored. Not feed into the drama, just stay zen and not react to it. But it's been two weeks now- she started calling my phone at 6:45am this morning- it's a sunday!! Then a load of abusive text messages threatening me with the police... it's literally mental. If I'd done anything to rile this woman up, I'd hold my hands up to it. Simple fact is, I haven't and she's batshit insane. Every cell phone has a block number feature. You're the one driving this. I think you secretly need and want what she's doing, to have something to complain about so you can be a victim. Psychological suplex right there, lol. The Abyss stares back...

Ask the man behind the counter if "Tobias Van Smelt" has been by to pick up his cheese. He will respond, "Don't know the man and there is no order under that name here" You respond, "Do you have any fresh Brie?" If you have a green light he will respond, "Come with me and take a look" A secret door will open in the wall behind him and he will usher you in, closing the door behind you. Then walk with him in the underground tunnel until you reach the room at the end with 2 doors. In that room will be a man named "Mike" who be wearing a yellow hat and seated at small table with an accordian. The cheese man will leave you then and "Mike" will ask you, "Ever hear of a man playing an accordian with no arms or legs?" You respond, "Yes I have, His name is "Matt" If you have been green lit, "Mike" will respond, "Ok, give me 100 quid" DO NOT GIVE "MIKE" 100 QUID" Take the yellow hat off his head and leave the room through the door you DID NOT enter through. The tunnel you now entered will take you back to the street. Go back to the cheese shop wearing the yellow hat and wait outside by the south facing window for instructions from the appropriate actioning team leader. That's the best we can do on short notice. |

I can't fix her, but it's weird that she's projecting such a strong emotional reaction onto me...

Over time, you get chatting, you let them into bits and pieces about your life and before you know it they're inviting themselves round to your place, asking to use your wifi, various 'neighbour' shit like that. Anyway, the tide has turned. I do know she's on anti-depressants and drinks a lot, plus smokes weed and does whatever else at the weekends. She's got a great house and a good job so I assumed she was relatively normal, but I had to draw a line under the 'friendship' when she decided to come over to my house at 5:45am the sunday morning before last, banging on my windows and doors shouting about twenty quid which she'd lent me and told me to give her back on the tuesday. Obviously I was fuming, went up to the cashpoint, posted the money through her door and told her to leave me the fuck alone in future. Well, she won't. I've been getting countless abusive, threatening text & phone messages... honestly starting to think she's had a psychotic break. Or she's demonically possessed. I'm also a female, btw, so unless she bats for the other team it's not some spurned lover shit. Seriously- how do you handle something like this? When someone is clearly mentally unhinged and insistent on causing you as much grief as possible? It's been two weeks, I've ignored all communications, and she's STILL at it. Any advice from fellow GLPers? FFS. Catch her between work and dinner when she's sober. Bring or buy food and talk with her. Say you are sorry about being a jerk the other day. See how that goes. You can't fix her. Ypu do know we always attract people at our own level and when we get embroiled with them it means we are like them. fix yourself and she will lose interest in you. Unless the neighbor is a psychotic Organic Portal, then that person won't care whether or not the OP fixes herself up. Seriously, I don't know why the OP isn't just calling the police....? Really do appreciate the advice- I guess I haven't called the police because it all seems a bit surreal... At the moment it's threatening texts and phonecalls and I wasn't sure if that warranted police intervention. I also didn't want to escalate things, hoping it'd just settle down, she'd get bored and move on etc. When someone is obviously not 'all there', you don't want to trigger them by involving the ineffectual police and invoking their rage any further. These things are happening when she's off her head on drugs, it seems to me... |

cosmicgypsy User ID: 74619032 United States 07/08/2018 01:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I've noticed this a lot with single women in their forties... tend to drink too much and have a bag full of issues. Quoting: Know.Thyself This woman lives around the corner from me. Met her at a local music festival a few years ago, and ended up becoming acquaintances... Big mistake. One of those things where they're obviously a bit lonely, and the 'friendship' is pretty one-sided.

The second part in bold: Are you even "listening" to what you're writing?...if the woman goes "off her head," then she is mentally UNSTABLE. Mentally unstable people are capable of ANYTHING. Call the police now, today. Get your head in the reality of the situation you're in. You don't seem at all prepared to deal with your neighbor on your own. Few of us would be...heh, at least not legally. You never change things by fighting the existing reality.

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 76443301 United Kingdom 07/08/2018 01:20 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok this is what you do: Quoting: GLP Operator 76431462 Go around the corner in one hour to that cheese shop you know. Ask the man behind the counter if "Tobias Van Smelt" has been by to pick up his cheese. He will respond, "Don't know the man and there is no order under that name here" You respond, "Do you have any fresh Brie?" If you have a green light he will respond, "Come with me and take a look" A secret door will open in the wall behind him and he will usher you in, closing the door behind you. Then walk with him in the underground tunnel until you reach the room at the end with 2 doors. In that room will be a man named "Mike" who be wearing a yellow hat and seated at small table with an accordian. The cheese man will leave you then and "Mike" will ask you, "Ever hear of a man playing an accordian with no arms or legs?" You respond, "Yes I have, His name is "Matt" If you have been green lit, "Mike" will respond, "Ok, give me 100 quid" DO NOT GIVE "MIKE" 100 QUID" Take the yellow hat off his head and leave the room through the door you DID NOT enter through. The tunnel you now entered will take you back to the street. Go back to the cheese shop wearing the yellow hat and wait outside by the south facing window for instructions from the appropriate actioning team leader. That's the best we can do on short notice. Fuckin lol |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 14385938 United States 07/08/2018 01:21 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I had a situation like this one time.. very similar circumstances, etc... I do hope your situation resolves better than mine. Unfortunately for me, my 'friend' knew my schedule and my home and she became real destructive. We lived in the country and I was quire secluded down a country road. So she would come into my property (my dogs knew her) and mess with things. She had to drive by the turn in to my property every time she left her house so I guess I was always on her mind. Our properties were close enough that when we were friends we would walk across the back pastures to each other's homes, so there were lots of ways she could get to my house. But she accused me of trying to steal her 'boyfriend', some guy she was with for a couple months. And then it was one thing after another... said I intentually screwed up her hair, I owed her back a pressure cooker we'd traded for, just any and everything, every conversation became a fight. So I'd had enough and quit answering the phone or the door. And she got furious. One time she turned on an outside faucet and flooded out my garage. Terrible destruction, since I had just emptied my parent's house out and had put it all in boxes in the garage. Lots of sentimental stuff and a couple valuable antiques destroyed. Emptied out my well and ruined my well pump, very expensive and she knew I couldn't afford it. Another couple times she unlatched a gate and let my livestock get out, another horrible situation which resulted in a huge vet bill and other calamities. Other times, I could tell someone had been in my house. Or something like finding a favorite shirt hanging in the closet with a cigarette hole in it. My toilet completely clogged up and I'm pretty sure she poured something down some drain and ruined my septic system. I had some electrical outlets which were shorted out.. water stains on my hardwood floors. Obviously, I initially could not prove it was her. I ended up having to put in a cattle guard and a locked gate. Very inconvenient for me and my customers who had to come to my home (I did hair) not to mention very embarrassing. Of course, I put up security cameras and let the whole town know and it pretty much stopped. Then she was diagnosed with hepatitis C. I think it had been messing with her for a long time, the urea in the blood and in the brain. I almost felt bad but for all the viscousness. She died a horrible death and was not found for two weeks outside in July. I was the one who called the sheriff because I smelled a terrible smell when the wind blew from the south . I helped her cousin clean out her home. So many things I had given her or we'd gotten together when we used to go garage sale shopping in town. I hope it turns out better for you. |
