That’s what I said to someone else on here. If someone asked me to check on their house but didn’t initially say how they wanted me to do that, I’d simple reply “I’d be happy to check, how would you like me to get inside?” It’s that easy.
But she did say she'd be happy to check at 11:30. You then should've followed up with, "Oh, thanks heaps, the code is XXXX" or "The spare key is under the mat" or whatever.
She replied and you fucked off for two hours because...?
You just go radio silent.
She shouldn't have to explicitly ask how to get into your house.
I mean, yes, asking that is the ideal response, but you come off as very hypocritical here because your reply sounded quite dismissive.
Right?? Then again, I'm not so perpetually online that I made it a point to be friendly with my neighbors well in advance of my ever needing anything from them. So the day I would need to text them something like this, we'd already be on good terms and able to communicate clearly and quickly about where the key is hidden, what the code is, etc.
It's so odd to me how many people on Reddit are just like "ew, neighbors. Eff them." Yet these same Redditors are complaint about a loneliness epidemic and having no "village" to help them with their children. They have no village because they're socially inept hermits who don't put forth any effort to interact with humanity outside of the internet. It's quite pathetic actually.

If I text this to my neighbor they would have just asked if the door was unlocked so they could go do it
