Just had an argument with the guy upstairs about my pampas grass blocking out the light. He says its tacky and very 1980's and that I shouldn't even have a windowbox on the sixth floor.
His wife smiled, whispered she thinks she knows why I grew it and said she would be down to discuss it later after the old man has gone to the working men's club.
At least she seems nice. |

I lived in a building once where my Polish neighbours thought I controlled their boiler. They'd always leave me angry notes in broken English, saying how bad I am at boilering. I'd knock and say I can't help, they need to speak to their landlord.
Off topic, just made me think of them mad bastards. |

"I told my mum about pampass grass being associated with swinging and she promptly ordered my dad to dig it up. Two days later she asked me how I knew.  "
I had no idea this was a thing!
Good luck tonight OP. Keep us updated! |

I don't know if it's an urban myth or not but it was supposedly used to secretly advertise yourselves as swingers back in the 70s. |

"I remember growing up my aunt dug hers up because the neighbour asked if they were swingers that was the 70s !"
They didn't like publicising it back then. Some things don't change |

Pampas grass indicating swingers,
a box of OMO washing powder ( not sure if they still sell it) was an indication that the Old Man Out, that one was an old Navy wives tale.
Anklets for Hotwives!
I'm sure there are many more! Just need to know the signs I guess! |
