You missed a spot! - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

For some reason my neighbor finds it hilariously funny to yell across the yard at me EVERY TIME I wash or detail my car that "You missed a spot." This last time, I just wanted to walk over to her porch (garden hose in hand) and ask her "What, THIS spot?" and blast her with the hose ... water coming from the garden hose is still pretty cold this time of year.

Is it just me, or does that get annoying as hell?

just trying to be neighborly I suppose. My neighbor is always yelling "do mine next", I tell him to bring it over and I will.

Or my other neighbor wants to mow grass when I start washing the car. Be glad they are only talking to you instead of mowing.

I have a grumpy neighbor who I swear waits every time until I break out my stuff and once I get done washing he starts to mow his dirt and just's drives his riding mower back and forth blowing up dust. I'm like really? I mean I have never done anything to this dude he is just a Richard (insert nickname) Head. My other neighbors want me to wash their cars all the time also I tell them if they can beat me in a street race I'll wash their car, no takers yet.

I know. And it's not like the start on the far side of their lawn, or the back yard. They want to start mowing right beside of where I am washing the car. Just zero respect.

Yesterday, my neighbor was out front of his garage working on his bike, and his wife was laying out sunning beside him working. I mowed the back yard and the front and stayed away from them enjoying the beautiful day. I will mow that section today. No problem, and was glad to give them some respectable distance.

A very nice older lady in my neighborhood always stops and says "you're going to wash the pint off" b cause I wash the car pretty often. It's kinda fun, when people stop and say "can you do mine next" I always say bring it on over... With a mischievous grin... They never do hahaha

scandata · 04-18-2016, 03:59 PM

That "do mine next" never gets old to them. I used to just shake my head and roll my eyes at them, but that's pretty rude - they actually think they're being friendly and neighborly. So now I just sing-shout back, "take a number."

Maybe she wants you to wash her spot.

Nice to know i am not alone. I deal with the same type of neighbor. Like clock work no matter what time of day I decide to wash, with in a few minutes of washing I hear the mower fire up.

I had someone drive by on a motorcycle and yell it at me one day. It's really no fun when you can't even respond.

It's the wife's best friend and she's rather large, so there's more chance of me trading my Camaro for a Chevy Spark

Besides, I know she's just doing it to be annoying ... and it's working

Does someone ever yell "you missed a spot" while washing the mini van? Take them as compliments and smile back

jrhagen · 04-24-2016, 09:07 AM

People who say Do mine next get a standard response. I charge $100 per hour.
