    We moved into our house a couple of weeks ahead of neighbours, invited them over and they had a look around. Since that time they have copied getting in an island, same postbox, light fixtures, wallpaper etc. Havent spoken to them recently and they are definitely not invited back, has this happened to anyone else, i know copying is the best form of flattery but sheis not impressed.

    Dig a moat and you can have one too

    Break into their house one of the nights and stand over them while they sleep.

    When one of them wakes up and stares at you just say in a slow, creepy voice:

    "Have you been stealing my wallpaper?"

    Rip some off the wall and then leave.

    That'll stop them from copying ya!

    Should anything ever happen to your stuff you'll be glad your neighbours had the foresight to have replacements ready for you.

    Your wife should be chuffed, you both obviously have good taste.


    When we moved in we got extra storage in our kitchen our neighbours came in for a cup of tea and wondered why they never thought of it so they went off and got the extra storage too (like an island but its attached to the wall, sort of like a breakfast bar) An island would have be too small to us.

    We also brought a house in the same estate as our landlady's son and we got a sneaky look at their house, fell in love with their wardrobes and got the exact same ones in all the bedrooms :D they were really really nice.

    Most of the people who moved in around the same time we did have all the same appliances as they were on offer at the time. Hotpoint : cooker, fridge freezer, washing machine, dryer and dishwasher.

    Get this gnome:
    Meet Randy, Randy the Rude Gnome. He's Rude and Crude. The garden gnome meets and greets your guests with a cheeky little line, well, maybe more than that. Put him at the front door for a giggle and a good time!

    With a friendly wave and a bright smile he greets your guests with all of the hospitality and warmth that they deserve with winning lines such as those below:

    Listen here buddy - I'll give ya twenty bucks if you can get your wife to show me her t***ies
    Hey You..... F*** Off
    You take one step closer and I'll chew your 'kn knee caps off
    The dogs.... get me a f*****g umbrella
    I'm 14 inches tall - and I bet I STILL have a bigger d*** than you!
    Suck my tiny salamic ****
    (Explosive fart sound) Ohhhh - I've been holding that one in for three hours
    (More farting) What???? I can't exactly run to the toilet.
    You can't be 'kn serious - NO WAY are YOU gonna fit throught that door
    Hey you... My b***s are really itchy, but I can't move... would you mind?
    The best thing about being a garden gnome is I'm always hard - heh heh
    Hey you... Lean down, I wanna tell you something.... Closer... Closer.... NOW P*** OFF DIPS***

    Randy's motion activated! He measures approximately 27cm tall and requires 2 AA batteries which are included.

    Brand new and packed in a presentable box. It is excellent novelty gift for friend, work mate. Put it at the doorway and show your guests just how much of a classy guy you are!

    When people say they have problems,is this the kind of thing they mean?


    People are idiots.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,129 ✭✭✭✭ejmaztec


    Just wait for the neighbours to sneak into your garden to nick cuttings off the plants that you paid hard cash for, or steal buckets of gravel from your driveway - thieving cunts.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,366 ✭✭✭micropig


    Prosecute them under the SOPA law for infringement of copyright:p


    Then ride his wife

    We didnt mind the first one or two things but just so much being copied it was a bit OTT, no just wondering did anyone else have this problem and how they dealt with it

    Ah, so now you're looking to copy what someone else did in your position? For shame.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 954 ✭✭✭acidskiffle


    Tell them unfront that you're sick of them copying you.
    Then watch the look of confusion on their faces as they wonder how anybody could have an issue with something so trivial.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,089 ✭✭✭marketty


    First the household charge and now this. It's always the little fella gets screwed in this country

    Invite him to watch.

    Hilarity ensues.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,219 ✭✭✭woodoo


    Getting an island isn't really copying you. They just thought it was a good idea. A lot of people have one.

    I can't see what you can do about it really. Other than take a step back from them.

    he'd probably just copy and then it would lead into a gangbang between the poster,his wife and the neighbours.Next thing you know they're dogging around Dublin,the wife has a child for the neighbour and bang! jeremy kyle.

    What do you think should be done? Contact the commitee? Perhaps An Board Stop Copying me?


    You bought stuff you saw and liked. They saw stuff they saw and liked.

    Man up and stop worrying about trivial things. People know your houses are different. No one gives a flying fornication who did it first.

    Make sure they didn't leave surveillance equipment in your house though. That'd be a bit ott.

    What you could do, is wear out some of your **** stuff, and then when you get invited over, start swapping stuff around. Maybe after inserting / wiping your old stuff off something amusing.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,075 ✭✭✭Wattle


    Just wait until they get plastic surgery to look more like you and your wife. That would be the time to move.

    The second they saw the island they loved it and said they were unsure as to wether a 6x3 foot island would look ok in the kitchen but after seeing ours i would say they ran home to get quotes.

    If your neighbours had a dog that barked day and night, or if they were throwing parties into the early hours or were engaged in illegal activities you might have something to complain about. Here at AH, we only deal with hardcore issues ;):D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,678 ✭✭✭I Heart Internet


    OP's problem is the greatest injustice in the history of the world.

    After slavery.

    This should be in the dictionary beside the words "first world problem".


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,205 ✭✭✭Bad Panda


    So...your wife says your neighbours are 'copycats'?

    Did you marry a fcuking 10 year old?

    Sometime between lunchtime and arts and crafts by the sound of it


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭xflyer


    I would only be worried if they started wearing the same clothes, buy cars like yours and starting turning up in places you like to go to like following you around the supermarket and seeing what you buy. That would be worrying but on the other hand it would be a good basis for a story to sell to one of those trashy magazines sold all over the place. 'Help! My neighbours copy everything I do?'

    Of course they might copy that too and sell their story about their unreasonably paranoid neighbour.
