I can certainly relate to having bad neighbors.
I have a lot of horrible stories about our neighbor Beatrice, the "witch." When I was younger there was a rabbit that would constantly come into our yard, and would let us pet it. He quickly became our own stray little rabbit (it was really neat. I assume he had previously been owned.) After a few days of not seeing him, one of my neighborhood friends came over to tell me that Bea had beaten it with a broom! I couldn't believe it (actually.. I could.)
A few years ago I was outside with a friend of mine, who was doing construction work for my dad. The neighbors were outside, and he told me Bea was staring at him and making rude comments about how loud he was the entire afternoon. We decided to pretend to be interested in the VERY large trees on her property, and that didn't sit well with her. She immediately started yelling at us that those are her trees and we can't look at them! We just laughed at her and told her we could look at whatever we wanted...
Like I mentioned above, these neighbors have huge trees right next to our property. We have a personal alley that separates the two houses, and we park in a section back there. This year, she decided that she was going to rake all of her leaves into that section when we weren't home! When my dad saw it the next day, he used the leaf blower to put them back where they belonged. The following morning they were on our property again! As I was leaving, the other neighbors stopped me to tell me that Bea came out at 5 a.m. to rake them back! That *****! |
