I got pretty annoyed by it because it is not his place, but I'm even more upset because I said nothing back other than okay, good to know. My husband doesn't care because he thinks it bothers our neighbor more than us, so we don't need to get upset. Am I too sensitive? We are not even that close with that neighbor. I just need to vent it out.


Yes. It is very rude and I would not wash car for a couple weeks to drive him bonkers.


I’m guessing OP has already washed her car in the 4 years since she posted.

Dang it! I applaud folks like you for paying attention to the date. I should be better about it before commenting.

Our neighbor actually washed our car once, now that was pretty awkward!

I haven’t washed my car since 2021 and I hope OP hasn’t either, just to bother the neighbor!

I think it would be rude to tell your neighbor to wash your car. However, from the description of the events, it doesn’t sound like that’s what he’s doing. Maybe thought he was being helpful but it came across a bit awkwardly, but I don’t see where he told you to wash your car.

I bet OP has washed their car since this was posted however many years ago.

+1

He didn’t tell you to wash your car. You are most likely going to wash your car, right? He was trying to be helpful.

You’re an example of why people can’t and don’t socialize anymore. You’re so overly sensitive and take offense to everything.

Sitting here being mad about the neighbor's dirty van, kinda sounds like they aren't the sensitive party here.

Next time OP, just say "thanks. Not a priority for me right now" and let it go

Was he trying to seduce you?

Neighbor and I share a driveway they have a white van they don’t drive that is filthy. I wish I could tell them to wash it. People are so sensitive.
