[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would just wave and say, “hi Bertha; gotta run to a call/meeting now!” If she’s easily offended then maybe she’ll stop talking to you. [/quote]

1. I would do that.

2. OP, your neighbor is mentally ill and you will probably end up offending her at some point anyway. She might not go to the lengths she's gone with the other neighbor, or maybe she will, but you have no way to control that, so let it go and stick to a routine you can live with.

3. If her behavior is due to Alzheimer's or certain other forms of dementia, she will get worse, and might become more aggressive and vindictive, because that how the disease typically progresses. Again, there is nothing you can do to stop that. You need to stay vigilant and be ready to call the police if she does anything dangerous.

4. Sorry you're going through this. I wouldn't want such a neighbor either.  [/quote]

You’re making a diagnosis of mental illness? She could just be a lonely old lady or a friendly person. Some people like friendly neighbors! Geez, don’t move to Bethesda then - that’s how we all are. A friend visiting from North Bethesda even commented on how friendly and polite the neighborhood drivers are!  [/quote]
