“All he had to do was come over (to talk to us), but he chose not to do that.”
They ALL say that. Until you go over and talk to them. That’s when they get nasty, start swearing, brandish a firearm, and tell you to “Get off my lawn”.
Talking doesn’t work with most people anymore. They are an ass to you when you try to talk to them even about small things.
We have third world neighbors 2 doors down. They had a yappy Pomeranian that ran the street. I’d go out the front door and and it would stand in my front yard and bark at me. I ran it off at least once a week.
About 2 weeks ago I went out to check the mail and the teenage daughter came up to me and asked if I’d seen the dog. I said....oh is it gone? She said yes. I said....good! And turned and walked off. Lol
