o noz...i piss off a neighbor

Yep, I pissed off a neighbor, enough that he came and said the speed limit on this street is 25 mph and you blew past me like blahblahblah...guilty as charged, i was going...gasp... 32mph! he said did you see my kids by the side of the road? i said no, mainly because they weren't there , they were behind a fence, but if he wants to say that it's fine with me. I said ok, i'll watch it...nothing deflates a person faster than agreeing with them. Also he should know that a sportscar small car always looks like it's going faster than it is, he used to own one himself. So I will cool it on my little counrty lane, and be very happy when I move, if we ever sell this house. I really wanted to ask him if he wanted to duel, since he was armed with a shovel, I would have obliged him with my post hole digger! He was in the right, I know it, he knows it,so now i hope he is happy and drops it, otherwise, i might be forced to send him a cocktail...heheheh.

Jesus sometimes people doing 32mph down our road would be the slowest thing going... don't start me off on a rant about that... :-)

However I do agree with you - when busted just own up and don't try to defend it I have found that one of the best techniques to deflate any situation

Last time a neighbour questioned my driving down our road I just said "Hic"......;-)

No terrorist action against the neighbor. We would miss you too much! You handled it well - hopefully the fantasy of a duel and puncturing his puffiness will suffice!

My neighbor is upset me with me because he overheard me telling "H" that I would appreciate his discussing any major changes to the palm trees with me first - only I said he was married to me not neighbor - oops - about screwed myself on that one, because neighbor does the edging of the grass in our yard....and I should be so very grateful because "H" would not do yard work without the neighbor's prodding - guess I'm a control freak - I know what kind of fertilizer I like to use, what shape I prefer for my trees, etc......

Neighbors on other side - we had to give haven to a beaten up girl friend and when the police came to investigate that - they arrested the gang for drug selling - so we definitely aren't popular over there....

But as a general rule, I will eat dog poo to keep peace with neighbors - in fact, I just babysat three kids for one neighbor ----- oi
