I kid you not.

There is absolutely no grass to mow but there she is, riding around, mowing.

During the summer she mows her many acres every other day. Good thing her husband owns a gas station so he can supply her with the gas for this craziness.

I called the cops on the guy when he was burning some trash in a fire pit that was close to my wooden fence and there was also some dry brush nearby. The cops talked to him and told him to keep doing what he was doing. The flames were taller than my fence which is six feet high.

Then I heard him say "stupid bastards" twice from my side of the fence. He didn't know I was there. I feel like making large cutout letters with a jigsaw in wood and putting them on top of my fence saying "WE ARE STUPID BASTARDS".

I have three degrees, terminal degree a doctorate in law, and my hubby has three degrees, terminal degree a master's degree in physics/math.

And these people have a big cross in their yard with white christmas lights on it.

The wife was in our house and insulted my piano playing (12 years of lessons and I whipped through a Chopin waltz from memory) by calling me a showoff.

She also said "Buddhism is VOODOO" and crossed her forearms in front of her like she was holding up a cross to protect herself.

Both complete idiots. Ignorant and proud of it.

I scoff at their pitiful christmas decorations.
I scoff at their shitty shutters. They have fake window shutters that are not as tall as the windows. Extremely cheesy looking.

I fart in their specific direction.....

And, anyway, it's just silly to think a sign could keep anybody awake: everybody knows that what keeps people awake is beaming evil thoughts into their houses at night

The other day as I was pulling in, one neighbor is walking the dog and stands there and waits for me until I got out of the car to say hi to me. That startled me.

You mean one in the hallway kicking the door and howling gibberish while the other one pounds the wall adjoining our kitchen so hard it makes the dishes rattle while screaming "YOU WHORE" over and over. At 345 AM.

And when ya go out in the hall to tell him to STFU or the cops are coming you get the googly meth eyes. He did slink away though, at least he's a peaceful tweaker.

I've got the home theatre system from hell - speakers the size of refrigerators and the power to push them.

One house is empty, the guy on the other side doesn't give a damn. The guy two doors down is deaf. Across back they're all stoners and get off on it. Across the street are all party houses so they're louder than I am.

Last time I was nude suntanning in the back yard, behind 8 foot solid fences, the news chopper started shooting footage from overhead.

He needed to be checked into a care facility, but never got in. He'd been a long-term drunk and when he got sick enough, they dried him out and strangely, he seemed to be even farther out of touch. He'd stand on his porch and chant our names and those of the other neighbors on the street. I tried to help him as much as possible, but when he kept peeking through our windows calling out for a "lost" daughter (long grown and estranged), we had to call the cops hoping that would help with the quest to get him help.

While the paper work was going through, tragically, he died (actually choked on a banana). He wasn't really a good guy from what his family told me when they came to clean and sell the house, but no one deserves to die alone and be haunted by their phantoms. Both my wife and I were shocked to learn that he was our age, we thought he was at least 20 years older (late 70s maybe).
