i m real agitated right now,borderline rant mode. just got off the phone with a friend,same one that wants the puter built. he lived in another house next to the one he just built. before he bought the lot he just built on,he asked his neighbor if he wanted to go halfsies on it to keep someone from building back there. the neighbor said no,i ldont want to. they were good friends at the time. so tom buys the lot by himsefl. then he thinks aobut building a house on the lot he just bought and sell the house he is in. so he goes to his neighbor and talks to him aobut it and makes the offer agian abouta the halfsies. he said no,so tom asks him if he minds if he builds a house on it. neighbor says no prob,and they even discussed the layout between them.
right in the middle of planning,nighbor changes his mind,or i think his aggressive wife changed it for him. he did a 180 and wouldnt even talk to tom any;more.
so we build house,about 2 yrs ago. and the negetive neighbor recruits another neighbor oover to his side,so now tom has two families mad at him. the recruit is always calling tom a no good mofo and saying he s gonna kick toms a$$ and that nobody in the hood likes tom anymore. well,tom is about the best neighbor you could ask for,keeping his place clean and picked up. he lives alone,so its real quiet.
i was over there yesterday the recruit and the other neighbors wife, are leaning on recruits pickup right a t the end of toms drivewa;y. i asked tom what they were doing andhe said they sit there once a week or so and trade tom stories.
i want to help tom with these jerks,but i know i must stay out of it,or i may make matters worse. but.................i couldnt resist this.
while leaving his house,with those people at the end of the drivewa;y,i putted by and around his truck as slow as possible,attempting to establish eye contact with either of thesse people,but no one would look at me. so when i got past the truck i accelerated at a high rate of speed down the street.nothing reckless,cant go very fast with my work truck anyway
tom told me today,about 30 sec after i left,the recruit came down and stood by the propert;y line and told tom "tell your f*****g boyfriend to watch his f*****g driving."
i sure woudl like to talk to this fellow alone for about 10 min. just 10 min and i m sure we would have this eratic driving all smoothed out.
thank you for the oppertunity to let some pressure out of the boiler.
i dont feel like dragging the guy out of the house and doing great bodily harm to him anymore. time to kill him with kindness if it kills me(easier said than done !)
