Can someone answer my question?? I know this is long, sorry. We have never been real fond of our next door neighbor. My husband is trying to be a good christian neighbor. So for the past 3 1/2 months, at least, she has been using our electricity by an extension cord. She is always asking for money. Which alot of times is for beer, and cigarettes. She has only repaid us $9 out of all the money we've given her. She is living with a man and neither have jobs. They both had a job for a couple of months maybe, but not anymore. We are a family of four, who live paycheck to paycheck, with 2 kids to take care of. They both have family, I know that for a fact. So it's not like they don't have anywhere else to go. I am not a selfish person at all. I LOVE to help anyone with anything as much as I possibly can!! But, come on. How long is this going to go on for? When is the point when you can say enough is enough? I am feeling like we are being taken advantage of! I told my husband a couple of weeks ago I don't want to know anymore when he gives them money, it just makes me so angry. Am I wrong for feeling this way? My husband makes me feel like I am a horrible person for feeling this way. We have gotten into a few arguments over this.
They were sitting their trash out with ours, because they haven't paid their trash bill in forever. A day or two ago the man that lives across the street, who works for the trash company that picks up our trash, said if the neighbor gets caught putting his trash out with someone else, both parties will get fined $1000.00. <......No, that isn't a typo. I had no idea!!
So, now I'm worried that if that is illegal,is it illegal to let them use our electricity also? |
