Then, one of them asked:
Do you teach in the Summer?
Me: No
He: Then you can help me with the lawn....
I think: "@#$%!"
That's when you don't say nothing and burst out into laughter. Just don't laugh to loud you don't want to be a dick about it. That's what I do when they ask me if I can wash their car after mine. I am tempted to say sure, do you want to vacum my house and mop the floor in exchange because that is what I am doing next.
Or better yet say, sure neighbor let me give you a referral to a great lawn service.
I have 1 old lady on 1 side. She is old, arrogant, and condescending to my wife and I. When we moved in she saw me mowing our lawn and said to me it's great to have neighbors that cut my lawn. I replied, wow you are lucky, maybe they will cut mine too!. I say that about her because we nicely wrote her a note to turn off her sprinklers because it was become winter time. She got hostile with my wife and said she didn't have sprinklers in the back when she pointed out on the side of the house where to shut them off! Oh well maybe I should cut her a break. She may not have it all upstairs. :eek: Sad really, he son now lives 2 miles away and he doesn't come over to visit. I wonder why.
My other neighbor, she is lazy and doesn't want to shovel snow, but refuses to buy a snow blower. So when we had the Denver blizzard at Christmas, she doesn't shovel for 2 days, we had be shoveling 3 times a day for 2 days at that point, and then she says oh I have no husband home and no kids home to help me. I just ignored her. The nerve of some neighbors. Ok slacker let me come over and do your chores, I think not. This was after my wife offered to help her move a mattress and she puts it down and directs my wife and her daughter to move it while she stands there and does nothing.
Anyone want to buy a house?
Just kidding, atleast they are quiet neighbors.
Point being, don't feel bad I have had issues with my neighbors too.
