Common Courtesy Ain't Dead Yet

[EssOne]

I was sitting here a few minutes ago when the phone rang. The gent on the other end of the line was my next door neighbor who asked if we are having a family get together this afternoon. I said "no' and he said: "OK, I just wanted to know before I cranked up my pressure washer and blew off my deck. I didn't want to fire it up if you were going to have folks over this afternoon."

 

Boy, after getting the crap beaten out of us all week by Baltimoregate, Billarygate, copgate, Iranbombgate and all the other gates, that one little act of kindness lifted my spirits and made it all go away. Funny how an ounce of honey can outweigh a gallon of venom, y'know? Yay for honey.

A good neighbor is a valuable asset. I have several and try to be one in return.

A good neighbor is a valuable asset. I have several and try to be one in return.

And crappy ones should just disappear. I have two neighbors that are the worst people I have ever met.

 

One neighbor is my father and mother. I would not piss on either if they were on fire because of everything they have done to my son, my wife and me. They are miserable people who are jealous of anyone who they think is doing better than them. And when they become jealous they do what they can to grief those they are jealous of. I have seen my father call various government agencies to tell lies about neighbors in an effort to get them in trouble. He is an abusive drunk and my mother is the perpetual victim who tells lies constantly to try to garner sympathy. Problem is the lies she tells often affects those she tells lies about. Both have stolen from my wife and I as well as tell anyone who will listen that we attack them despite the fact we have not had any contact with them in over 5 years.

 

The other is a drunken, mouth breathing, knuckle dragging inbred fuck stick who's parents were obviously very closely related. He was the one who came on my property and started cussing with kids present then cussed at my wife when she told him to leave. He said we should not be shooting and said he was going to call the cops to tell them I was shooting illegal machine guns. Since then he visits his property and shoots guns thinking it will bother me.  He tells neighbors that I tried to kill him and that the bullet barely missed his head. He also told the neighbors I was shooting at the neighborhood kids as they walked home from the bus. He also sits at the end of our drive honks his horn and squeals his tires because we put a gate up so he can't drive onto our property.

There are a lot of good people out there, it is nice to come across them and restore hope for humanity.

Bad neighbors suck!

Yep, it's nice to have good neighbors.  Thankfully, after 7 years the mean old bastard next door finally moved away back in the fall and a super nice couple moved in.  Other than beginning to feel like a retirement community, we're in good shape now.
