I am not yelling at you...

Maybe its time to consider a move? Just saying Tony

 

Well this is how it goes sometimes at my house. I say something nonconfrontational to my wife while she's distracted or not listening. She says "What?" I repeat it a little louder. She still doesn't understand, so she says "What?" I repeat it a little louder. She says, "Well you don't have to yell!" I say softly, "I wasn't yelling." She says, "What did you say?" I say, louder now, "I wasn't yelling." She says, "Yes you were and you just did it again." Sometimes you just can't win . . .

 

Happily single for a good reason. Just saying ....

 

I have similar smoking neighbors. Sucks when you wake up in the morning to the smell of cigarette smoke and the sound of hacking. And the dummy wife insists on throwing her butts down the sewer that drains directly to the river. She also does this weird thing where she smokes one, then lights another and puts it out after one drag.. might as well just burn your cash and eliminate the middleman.

Some people are just aholes. I'm not going through the hassle of moving to get away from them. I'd probably just end up next to some other ahole anyway. It could be a lot worse. I could live next to the guy who refuses to fix his sewer line, so it backs up every couple of weeks....

 

My drug dealer neighbors are being evicted.

 

Does this mean you will have to drive farther to get your stash?

Closest neighbour about 100yards, next closest >1 mile don't hear any yelling (although the coyotes get a bit noisy some nights)

 

Our neighbor has someone staying with him, who seems to spend a LOT of time aimlessly wandering up and down the sidewalk, smoking, and dropping his butts all over the place.

Sigh.

Usually, at our house, it's laughter that gets out of hand... oh, and we usually have to remember to shut the bedroom window, or else the neighbors give us "those looks"... and then they smoke more, too.

 

That alone would tend to make me leave the bedroom window open WIDER

I once had very annoying neighbors that were nosy too. I solved that problem by putting out my tighty whities to dry, along with my girlfriends hot underwear.

For some reason, they started to mind their business after that. Maybe it also had something to do with me stepping out onto my deck one warm summer morning just in my tightie whities, with the girlfriend just in her bra and panties

Don't discount shock value. It really does work

 

Not long before my wife moved out I was sitting at the dinner table about to enjoy a meal which I had cooked for us all. Honestly I mean't to say, "honey could you please pass the salt?" But I blurted out at the top of my lungs, "you f###ing bi### you have ruined my life!" What was that about?

 

Sometimes, those feelings and thoughts that we keep stuffing down, and stuffing down, and stuffing down, will bubble up to the surface.

It's all for the best :hug:

 

Now, that would drive me completely insane. I'd be over there with an axe after about 10 minutes. Mind you, I seem to have the ability to hear certain strange little noises. Digital clocks that hum, fridges that click and whir, water running in the far corner of the house....

...and yet, my wife seems to think I'm deaf. It's the strangest thing.

 

Pat, seek help. You will live a longer, happier life
