Recently a neighbour, has comented on what time i go to work and times i come back, different each day, sometimes with tools and sometimes with just a book and tape measure, when doing estimates.

He also coments on when i go out on the bike and where do i go, and also if i didnt go out that day.

He also knows where everyone works and their hours,

Final straws last week when i left a note for a neighbour in the comunal post box of her block, and he read it and asked if i had left the note,even though i hadnt signed it(nothing personal on it),

and he even comented the postman must be tired after delivering lots of mail to me every day,even though he shouldnt have access to our block.

Sounds like he's lonely and probably a pedophile.

I'd say they're bored and lonely, spend a lot of time lookign out of their window each day and are desparate for someone to talk to.

They then talk to you about you because they feel they know you because of your comings and goings.

You should point them at stw, they'd be fine 😉

Alternatively, next time they talk to you start askign them about what they do, show a bit of interest and maybe mention that it feels like they know more about you than you do as 'a joke' they may get the point…

ring the social services and tell them he buys vast ammounts of sweets and hangs round the local kids play areas,should keep him busy for a while,or you could nail up his door and whitewash his windows.

That's what people used to do before the internet.

Sounds like he's lonely and probably a pedophile.

Is this him?

Yeah, he's after your feet!

Seriously though, a bit intrusive, but at least if you are friends with him he will know when you are away and would hopefully keep an eye out for your property…

Is that picture after he had died?

At a guess, he's retired and bored shitless. If you days consist of Crap in the attic and the likes, you've not got much to talk about other than what you observe out of the window.

but at least if you are friends with him he will know when you are away and would hopefully keep an eye out for your property…

That's all very well until you come home one day and he's sitting on your sofa wearing your dressing gown and slippers. 😉

Yeah, OK, but you know what I meant!

I hated people knowing what we were up to when we lived in town, but now I feel differently in the sticks.

If it was me I'd be candid with him and tell him that you feel like he's stalking you and intruding on your privacy and generally making you feel uncomfortable. See what reaction that gets and if it doesn't stop you could always just wee in his shoes.

Bonus points for doing it while he's wearing them.

on the other hand he's great neighbourhood wacth when your bikes get nicked.
jeez, you lot are all so cynical.

Tell him you are an MI5 operative and need him to write down the number plate of every car that drives along the street. For National Security.

lonely

Wwaswas has it right here I think, you might be glad of him one day if he spots someone coming down the stairs with your bike.

Lonely doesn't give you the right to check other peoples things.
Personally he sounds like a serial killer…
If you have the time, chat to him if you want to be his friend.
I wouldn't have time for myself let alone chats to people in this busy world but he sounds like the person who tops himself and you'd wish you had done more etc.

And you probably should get a PO box…extra locks on your door, scan for cameras in your room and see if there are any tunnels in your basement…

😯

Got one like that in my street – retired farmer who wanders round the houses like he is checking on his flock/herd. I've even seen him looking in bins when he thinks everyone is at work !

as ^^ very good as neighbourhood watch and handy for taking delivery of shiny bike bits when at work. Bit odd but I'm sure it's jst boredom.

Screw with him. Go out one day in a clown's outfit, come home wearing a bright pink tutu, and then deny all knowledge of it when he asks you.

Knowledge is power, and this is war!!

Start going through his bins and keep some sort of spreadsheet

Exposed yourself to him and if he says 'yes I've seen that before' you then know hes got cameras/wire in your place.

If he freaks and calls the Police then the gamble failed.

Never saw a car being nicked, another car broken into, and numerous other things going on.

Nosey ****, who probably thinks you're on benfits and wouldn't think twice about shopping you.

Got a neighbour here who "notices" everything, but when things are going wrong (yoofs in cars last year) he suddenly sees naff all and usually finishes a conversation with "didn't see anything, doesn't bother me, you'd better sort it". **** even saw a neighbour getting beaten up by a local thug and did nothing.

Maybe he's Autistic or something similar. When I was in my teens a neighbour had their autistic son live with them in a granny flat an dhe knew everything that was going on, The only way he knew how to interact with people was by commenting on seeing what they do.

Its sad that we always asume someone is upto no good.

IMHO Just say your hello's and get on with your day.

PLUS ONE ,aspergers

He's doing no harm.

Does he have a large and obviously fake beard and a heavy Russian accent?

Be thankful he's interested in you.

What ever you do, don't say here he thinks your the dogs bollocks. Or that he is a retired cokehead Canadian ex underwear model.

Joking aside.

How old is he? is retired? I would hate to retire and be old, no friends but most of would do something about it while others -depressed suicidal crave company etc. Joking aside, put up with it unless you are really uncomfortable. Just have a quick natter here and there-get to know him while in your comfort zone. He'll get used to how long you chat and respect your boundaries.
