i've got the nosiest neighbor in the world. drives me nuts. we're on a 'smile-but-don't-like-you' basis.
she gives my kids her older kids hand-me-down clothing, which sounds nice, but the stuff is crap. i mean real crap...so it makes more of a hassle for me to throw out. she once gave me two sun hats for my girls, but the hats had her kids names sewn into them. what the hell would i want with that? why would i want my daughter to have a hat with the name JENNA in big bold red letters across it when her name is carlie?
i was doing some target shooting in my fenced in backyard with a bbgun with plastic pellets. i was shooting into a container made to capture pellets, and the direction of the shoot was towards open grass, so even if i missed, the pellet goes nowhere,.....nowhere near her fence, and she poked her head out of the window ..."what on earth are you doing?"
i said "target practicing"
she said, "oh my! why would you do that?"
why?
? gee ...i dunno... ummmmm, 'cause some people like to . maybe it's a hobby? what kinda question is that? she even asked if it was legal. yeah, my husband is a cop, so as if i'd engage in illegal activity. she probably thought it was a 12 gage shotgun! dummass!
normally, i'd be more respectfull of someone who was generally inquiring, simply out of concern, or interest, but this lady is a freak. here's another example about her paranoia:
you know those syringe things that dentists give you when you've had a tooth extraction? you fill them with water, and they have a loop-like pointy end to them to rinse out the cavity with water? well, i guess i had an old one and my kids were using it to fill with water, and squirt it. well, my neighbor found it on my lawn, and ran in and told her husband that we had syringes on our lawn! doesn't even resemble a freakin' needle. yeah, me and my cop husband are your new herion-shootin-crak-smokin-grow op.- neighbors! wanna buy some drugs?
i mean, granted, just because my husband is a cop, doesn't make him a saint, and there are cops who do illegal things, but com'on.... get a grip lady!
