laumk7 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 How do you feel when someone close (family, neighbour or work colleague) copies you? I know imitation is the greatest former of flattery but arghh The small private hospital right next door one of the nurses has got a new fiesta in white...added the dress up kit....added no painted the wheels white! My husband even when he first saw it thought it was me! My brother looks at what bits, bobs and gadgets we buy and often buys himself exactly the same thing! As said I know it's flattery but I find it annoying , how do you feel if someone 'close' (see above) does it to you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisroberson99 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Time to paint your wheels pink. :P Our neighbour always seems to copy our colour scheme from our house, she had no idea on style! And since we got our 207 my family has since got another two Peugeots (three actually but one was written off) and two of mums friends daughters got the same one as ours because it looked "cute" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Find the cheapest, tackiest and most easily reversible things to do to your car and see how long it takes to be copied :D As for your brother, get hubby to casually drop embarrassing gadgets into conversation with him...things like "I hope she remembered to order that solid gold (adult toy) for me! It really does help with the constipation, you know!" Edited December 15, 2015 by alexp999 Made SFW 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WES180 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 We bought a dump of a house and refurbished it right through. This included new windows, one of which the size was altered to make it the same height as the other1st floor window across from it to give the house a more balanced look and to let more light into the box room. The next month the neighbour opposite had the exact same style windows and doors fitted, same render too and the icing on the cake was the same door number plaque albeit with a different number obviously! We had the whole inside replastered, so did they, new kitchen, so did they, new bathroom, so did they. I put security lights up, so did they. All im waiting for now is a black Focus to appear on their drive. Total weirdos as they hadn't touched their house before we did ours! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Back in the early 1980's :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
