Not All Quiet On The Homefront

After an eventful winter involving my next door neighbors that has left any and all friendly attitudes and neighborly giving burned like the biggest bridge imagined they still make me wonder in amazement.
After not only attempting to chop down and kill my hedges, not apologize, then blow me off when I attempted to have them cease, and have them yell “shame on you” at me when the police were finally involved - then proceed to walk by as if nothing happened with the only difference being their looking away in anger from me… they have done it again.Â
Since I’m home today I was watching the History Channel in the Tony Bennett Room. I began hearing some rumbling ever now and then for a few minutes from what appeared to be my backyard. I finally got up to look out a window, only to find mean old next door lady having her fold out chair in my backyard.Â
Thinking that she was planning a point of attack against my flowers and plants I quickly put pants and sneakers on to run out and surprise her in the act. As I went to get my cell phone I saw a guy standing just below another backyard window. He was fiddling around with the wires of either my phone or satellite dish.Â
“Can I help you?” As I opened the window fully.
“No, I’m just looking?” He said.
“No, seriously, what the hell are you doing in my backyard?”
“Checking your phone line.”
“My phone is working just great. The telephone pole is over there. Why aren’t you?”
“Your neighbors phone isn’t working right, so I’m checking yours.”
“Check it up there. Our lines have nothing to do with one another at the house D-Marks.” As I point to the telephone pole.
“If you want me to get off your property I will.”
“Please do.”
The phone company guy closes my box up, looks down in annoyance, and walks to go back over the four foot high chain link fence the the neighbors who I will never be neighborly to again.
As he walked I said, “Sorry for being mean to you, it’s just that I don’t like those neighbors.”Â
He chuckled, and went off.
Now I have to go out get a couple of big planters, and plant some roses or thorny bushes in the spots that they can come over - cause being green is neighborly!
