A mother has been left furious after her neighbors ignored her while she was asking them for help.
The woman took to Mumsnet and said that she was about to pick up her daughter from school but had been having problems with her front door.
“I moved in a month ago. I needed to get my 10-year-old daughter from school, but there was an issue with my front door not closing,” she wrote.
The mother continued: “I could have gone out the back but there was still the issue that the front door would literally not close.
“I knocked on houses to see if someone could keep an eye on my door for about 15 minutes. I could see some neighbors through their windows completely ignoring me or peeking back at me and then disappearing.
“The neighbor across from me I couldn’t see, but while I was phoning my mom to collect my daughter for me, she answered the door for a parcel!”
The woman said her neighbors’ actions were rude and she’s now convinced that they are treating her in a negative way because she ‘doesn’t fit’ in with the area.
“I’m beginning to think it’s because my face doesn’t fit, if you know what I mean,” she continued. “Next door but one completely blank me and have crossed the street when they see me coming. I didn’t bother knocking on theirs.
“One of the neighbors across from me was initially friendly, so I thought. He came over asking who my landlord was, then preceded to blank me every time after. I feel like moving again.”
People on Mumsnet were quick to share their opinions, with one person writing: “I would hate to live on a street where neighbors do not answer their door. Awful.”
Another said: “How rude and very unneighborly of them. It must be really dispiriting knowing that you live in such an unfriendly area.”
