Are they elderly? If so I would guess its more descriptive than anything else. Ie they dont actually care that your lesbians, but its the one thing that seperates you from the couple at number 34 (who are a mixed race couple and are enjoying a wtf moment at their envelope as well!).
Still funny, you need to send thier card to “the old neighbours” with a smiley face, they will get a chuckle 🙂
Well…thats…nice? of them…
“can’t say lesbian my nana she’ll burn if she says lesbian”
It’s not inaccurate.
I suppose “the lezzers next door” might have been rather less welcome.
At least you have neighbours who are friendly enough to send a card, even if they don’t know your names.
I am gay and this made me chuckle and it’s nice that they tried but would have been better if they just addressed it to your house number 😂😆
Is that the name of your house
ah yes, Roommates.
but I love the handwriting.
We get one from our neighbour saying “to my girls”
Tbf Could be just a way to differentiate between you and the other neighbour if they dont know your names
*2 roommates
I’m wondering what the other neighbours received now. “Neighbours – lonely sod”? “Neighbours – one with funny eye”? “Neighbours – noisy one”? “Neighbours – nice bloke w/ grumpy wife”?
Feels like a slight mix up on their behalf. We have nicknames for households we don’t know the names of. “Beagle-man” for example as he walks, well a beagle! Probably just written than on the envelope rather than your door number.
My closest friend is gay, and I’ve addressed her card to ‘Bird and Mrs Bird’. I suppose familiarity is key, however.
They may not know your relationship status. Could be roommates, lodger and landlord, sisters, cousins etc.
We get one from our neighbour saying ‘my lesbifriends’
10/10 for observation. Don’t know what the issue is really
Opening act for Boyz II Men?
Preferable to “the spinsters”, I guess. It’s the thought that counts. They’re probably in a quandary and don’t want to offend or presume anything.
Better than “single queer weird woman” which they’d have to write on mine 😭 😂
I’m surprised we don’t get one with: ‘the noisy fucking dachshunds’
You need to tell us how you’re addressed inside the card now!
My wife uses the title “Dr”, when a lot of people assume that in a couple, the Doctor is the man.
So when we book a table somewhere (Dr and Mr), they often assume we’re a gay couple until we arrive as husband and wife.
I get the feeling you’ve never spoken to your neighbours
It’s almost like one partner said to the other “address this to the two women next door”, and s/he wrote it down verbatim.
Maybe kindly say thank you and introduce yourelves, then they can use your names next year? Or just send a card back to them with your names on and put your house number underneath… sorted.
I doubt it was malicious. I mean, are there two of you who live there? Do you both identify and/or present as female? And you definitely live next door? Therefore you are indeed neighbours, and two women. Kinda sucks that they don’t know your names but not everyone knows their neighbours well.
If they don’t know you’re a couple for certain, then the polite thing to do is not assume.
I sent a card to our neighbours, but they are polish and I couldn’t remember all of their names so I addressed it to their dog and his human helpers – I included a dog treat.

Technically correct.
