A horrified mum has taken to social media after discovering her neighbour has been taking pictures of her house. Posting on Mumsnet, the woman described the creepy moment that she noticed her neighbour, an actor, had taken images of her house - and captioned them on Instagram claiming she'd spend six months doing the cottage up.
The mum describes the woman's own house as "a mess" because they are currently doing it up. The unnamed woman took to social media to ask users what they thought, reports the Mirror.
She wrote: "My next-door neighbour posted a photo on Instagram of the front garden of my cottage, including the front porch, with the caption that she had spent six months doing up this thatched cottage She is a minor actress and next door where she lives (it’s actually the newest of three homes that she has) is a mess since she is doing it up but there is not one thing in her photo that is her cottage or garden. It is all mine.
"Am I being unreasonable to think this is really cheeky? And is it worth saying anything? My husband says not to fall out with her but I just think it’s really cheeky. What do you all think?"
People were equally confused at why the woman had posted the cottage that didn't belong to her. One wrote: "Cheeky! I'd ask a friend to comment that it's not hers. That's just weird, why put up anything at all!"
Another agreed, saying: "I would not hesitate in commenting on the post, that's outrageous!" Someone else commented: "Get a friend to comment saying that looks like my friend's house if you don't want to be too direct."
One Mumsnetter hilariously wrote: "Just type: OMG! I am so happy you love my house and my garden, followed by many heart-eyes emojis. Happy to share some tips!"
"I would 100% have to comment asking her to take down photos of your house", one fumed.
