Did you ever have one of those neighbors that you really just can't stand? I do. She lives across the street from me. First thing she did to annoy me? After they moved in, they put up a hideously ugly carport that looks like a good wind will take it down. I don't know why, but that thing really bugs me, I hate it. And it's right outside my living room windows. Every time it storms, I wonder if that's the day it's going to finally come down. But it survives. Just to piss me off probably.
I did my neighborly duty and waved to her when I saw her. Then her hubs came over to chat with me and my hubs when we were outside one day. He's hot. He works out. Not to shabby to be looking at. So, when he wants to get together, I'm on board.
We do dinner, they seem nice enough. Then, after dinner, all of a sudden she thought she was my best friend. She called all the time. She came over unannounced and knocked on my door. I disliked her more and more all the time. Then we both get pregnant at roughly the same time. Being pregnant agreed with me about as much as the Republicans agree with Obama. Not such a happy glowing lady in this house. Being sick, she backed off, I didn't see much of her.
Time goes by, we both have our children. Then she decides it's time to be friends again. The calls and visits resume. I'm tired. Oh so tired. I do not have the energy. One day, my son had been up all night. Finally got him to sleep in his swing in the living room. I slept on the couch next to him. Soon, my phone starts ringing. Hubs, in his downstairs office, shuts it off. Sometimes, I love that man. Then, the doorbell starts going. I look outside, it's the neighbor from hell. I ignore her and pray she does not wake the boy. As I ignore her, she attempts to open my door and prance right into my house. WTF? Back off bitch! Then she goes back to her house and leaves me a nasty message about how she needs help, and she knows I am home, who do I think I am to ignore her? Oh, now we are going into stalker territory here.
Never spoke another word to her again.
They recently got a dog and it seems they want it to be an outside dog. They leave it chained up outside all day and all night. All night long, with the weather in the teens and the wind howling, they leave this dog tied outside. It barks. It yelps. It whines. I can't stand it.
People, bring your freaking dog inside and learn what it is to be neighborly!
She just needs a good smack upside the head. Why doesn't he? Because he's hot. He gets a pass.
