Neighbors...

[XXX-er]

New neighbor knocked on the door last evening as it was getting dark in the rain. This is New Hampshire, no one knocks on anyone’s door. I don’t know my other next door neighbors last name, they’re just Bill and Wendy. Never been in anyones house in the hood, northern New England is cool because no one gets in anyones else’s bidness. Her and her partner just moved from Seattle. So I hear the door and head out to look out the kitchen window and see nothing, reach into my shorts to scratch my ballz as I’m looking out the dining room window, I lock eyes with the new neighbor. Open the door and walk out into the entryway, neither one of us extended hands. Cool she wants to introduce herself. Excellent, welcome to the neighborhood. She then ask’s to exchange contact info. My wife and I, value our privacy, no Facebook, twitter, no bullshit, it’s so freaking nice. She wants to get to know us and have us over for tea, I told her straight-up, we have lived here for 20 years and have never been in anyones yard let alone house, and that we were never coming over for tea and that I hade no reason to exchange contact info with her. What say you?

just like you didnt have to say what you said and have them think they have moved in next to a miserable cunt

you didnt have to tell rest of the class that you acted like a miserable cunt

and then ever one has disagreed with you

but you insist you are not a bad guy ?

so what is a bad guy, what is a good guy ?

[buttahflake]

Just trying to get a feel on neighbors is all, you guys are all buddy-buddy with the neighbors? Fuck that’s weird!

[XXX-er]

No but I don't tell people in so many words to fuck off cuz there are so many things in life one does not have to say

[buttahflake]

Or, even better. Maybe get a lay of the land when you move from 3,000 miles away from a huge metropolis to a shitheel cowtown before knocking on my door and asking for my contact info.

[fatnslow]

That’s insane talk, where do you live? Northern New England prides itself on not reaching out, it’s just how it is up here.

I guess when you leave town for a few days and a pipe bursts with a river coming out of your house you'll be all good cause you have home owners insurance rather than having your neighbor shut off your water and give you a courtesy call ?
I don't care where one lives having a cordial relationship with your neighbors seems like a basic human behavior but WTF do I know.

[buttahflake]

I have bike/ski buddies feed the cats and check the house when we aren’t here.
I wave to my neighbors, how much more cordial should I be? I told you I hate small talk and gossipy bullshit. No Facebook think about that? Never had one, value your privacy fool’s

[BmillsSkier]

Yo Buttah, that King Arthur Pumpkin Spice muffin mix is the shit. Maybe send them a fresh batch to smooth things over with a little something from the heart, like a cross stitch.

[jono]

i think you should have just told them to fuck off

This was the right answer. If it's between that and taking DSM along for tea they'd probably volunteer to fuck off.

[XXX-er]

so who do you blame when you find dog poo under your door handles ?

Dude. You. Get. Me.
King Arthur is a staple in this house.

[Buster Highmen]

This again?

[yeahman]

I agree with buttface that it would be better to live in a neighborhood for awhile before asking neighbors for contact info, let alone tea. Seems a little weird to me.

Impressive gatekeeping.

I've been trying to reach you about your expiring car warranty.

Nobody has yet asked the important question: what's your wife think about how you acted?

[buttahflake]

They only thing that really bothered her was the ball scratching incident

[gravitylover]

Haha

I did exactly that a couple of winters ago. The STR next door, whose owner doesn't stay there and who I detest, had water pouring out. I called him and I called the water company.

When there was smoke pouring out of my BBQ because I put a brisket on it after taking it out of the Texas crutch to crisp the crust my MAGA neighbor who knows my leftie politics came rushing over with a fire extinguisher. And he did the same thing when MY fire extinguisher next to the BBQ exploded and he thought it was smoke.

You don't have to like your neighbors. You don't have to entertain with them. You don't have to even know them or know their names. But you have to look out for them and they for you.

I mean, you normally get a bit of a pass during your first few weeks, also good to know who's yard to have your dog shit on based on first impressions. It's almost weirder to come by a few months later in my opinion.

The "not meeting your neighbors" thing doesn't surprise me. We ran into a neighbor on our road (cul de sac end with 6 houses total, each on multi-acre lots) recently and said "new around here?". We've been here 8 years and have never seen him before.

i think you should have just told them to fuck off

Pretty sure that’s how it went down.

Jeebus Buttah.
Be human. Or at least fake it until you make it.

[BmillsSkier]

That must be the tea...

[MTT]

My neighbors on both sides of me are paid by the federal government to surveil me

Not imagining it
With the oversight of the DoD

It’s my life and you don’t want to be in it

That's harsh. But, we are left with few options.
