We have old women widows living either side of us. One is intensely
nosey and spies on all people coming and going and the other keeps
herself to herself but has invested £0 in an obnoxious terrier cross
that barks at it own far**. Both run a conspiracy against us because
we don't conform to their lifestyle (eg we don't worship the selection
of wheelie bins we all have to feed and we don't seek to kill every
single growing plant in the garden and cover it in concrete. They
(not) unwittingly make our life hell on many occasions. We have tried
to be good neighbours and help them (in years past). It counts for
nothing now alas. We try to ignore them when possible.

Look up paranoid in the dictionary.
