![]() ![]() A whole TV show based on playing increasingly outrageous pranks on your grumpy neighbor to keep the audience entertained, and viewership numbers high. What would you do in this situation? Let us know in the comments below."Did you know that “Schadenfreude” is a German word defined as the concept of finding joy in someone else’s misfortune? It is also the main idea on which Neighbours back From Hell is built. "If I were you I'd just accept it now as a fait accompli and enjoy the new things and keep telling yourself it came from the right place, your feelings of shame and outrage will lessen over time so you may as well enjoy your revamped room. My sister once totally rearranged my mum's living room while she was away - I thought it was an absolute violation but I kept quiet. Meaning well is not the same as doing the right thing."Ī third added: "I would hate this too - have never felt comfortable with people in the house just the way I am. Incidentally, what made your neighbour think that you would welcome this idea? Have you ever told her that you were struggling and in need of a haven? What makes her think that your idea of a haven would match hers anyway? It was a presumptuous thing to do. "I don't think that anyone put on the spot like you were here is obliged to be automatically grateful. Incidentally, would your daughter be pleased if a ground of your friends, led by you, decided to go through her bedroom and have a total reorganisation while she was away?. I think I would start by saying to your daughter that if anything like this happens again, then she is to talk to you before letting anyone in. Someone else replied: "I can see why this has disturbed you so much. "There's not a lot you can do now, just hold your head up high when you're out in the street and remember it's come from a good place." Not the bedroom and I would hate that I didn't know first so that I can make sure they didn't see anything I wouldn't want the whole street to see lol, but what a lovely thing to do though on the other hand, it probably hasn't even entered your neighbours head that you are mortified. People in the comments were divided over the situation, with one person saying: "Ohhh it’s a tough one! Maybe they should have done your living room or something. "My teenage daughter let them in, I have told her she shouldn't have and she says I'm being really ungrateful but I actually want to never see any of these people again." The mum continued to say: "I was so shocked that I think I made positive noises but what the actual hell. ![]() ![]() It looks lovely but god I am totally mortified, strangers have crawled all over my bedroom, I had washing on the bed, including underwear and medication on my bedside table." I really think she thought she was doing a nice thing but it seems she has had a whip round from the neighbours to pay for this, new bedding, cushions, a rug, a blind, the lot. "She said she noticed I have been struggling and wanted to create a 'haven' for me so I can relax. "When I came back I was greeted at the door by this person who made me be blindfolded and did a big reveal type thing, flinging the door open. When I say 'friends' it was basically a neighbour who is a bit of a busybody has got a group of people together and taken it upon themselves to clean and decorate my bedroom as a 'treat'. "I went away for the weekend this weekend and when I've come home, my friends have given my bedroom a makeover. Asking if she was being unreasonable to feel this way, she wrote: "AIBU that my privacy was invaded like this? ![]()
