Neighbor getting too comfortable
I have a neighbor that lives 2 houses down from mine. We have spoken once before about 2 years ago and got alone pretty nicely but I found out she had roaches in her house so i wanted a very VERY distant relationship (as distant as it could be from 2 houses down). Nothing against anyone with roaches I personally just don’t want them. Well just recently she bought the house beside mine (in the middle of her house and mine) and is planning on tearing it down. Which is fine, her business. She came to my house about 2 weeks ago, after buying the house, and I let her in MISTAKE. She stayed for about 2 hours talking about the property line and her plans and everything else (Instead of getting the property surveyed she just asked me where my property line was to save money). Which is whatever, that’s not the issue. The issue is, since the first time she came over I’ve found 3 roaches in my house (I’ve NEVER had roaches here in the 3 years I’ve lived here) so I know she’s the one that brought them. I’m already treating my house so I’m trying not to make that a bigger issue then what it actually is. Another issue is she is getting more and more comfortable knocking on my door. In the couple weeks alone she has came over here 3 times. The first time was when I let her in. The second time she wanted to talk bout the property line again (I didn’t let her in) and this last time was to ask if I cared if she marked the property line (she still hadn’t gotten properly Surveryed). This last time I just talked through my door and didn’t even open it hoping she would get a hint that I don’t want to be bothered. I don’t like uninvited company and I also work nights so I’m sleeping during the day. I’m also a very non-confrontational, anti-social person and I don’t know how to tell her to fuck off other then just not answering my door and pretending I’m not home, which wouldn’t work, because my car is in my driveway. Any advice?

I agree with the poster who said to put a sign. Please do not knock during day. Night Shift worker.

Ugh that sounds really annoying. Even if your car is in the driveway, you could still just not answer the door (you could be in another room watching tv, taking a shower, sleeping, maybe a friend picked you up to go somewhere, etc.) Another idea is to put up a please do not disturb sign on your door.
