My new neighbor
A comedy conversation

I live in a small town, but I live downtown, so I don't really have a yard. I live in a house that was built in the 1840s. There is a duplex behind my house that was probably built at the same time.
I share a driveway with the right side of the duplex. The driveway is not my property, but I have an easement to park there. I also have a small side yard.
A new person has moved into the left side of the duplex, directly behind my house. His back door is about 10 feet or less from my back door (which I rarely use.)
I have noticed he has taken over "my" area. Granted, it's technically his land; I believe the shed attached the the back of my house is partially on their property. But he rents and doesn't know that!
He has fixed up his little back yard very nicely, and even mowed the weeds on the side of my house. I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand, I'm happy that the weeds are gone. On the other hand, I don't know if I like his presumptuous attitude. Also, I was going to work on my yard today, but I'm not going to now, just to irritate this anal-retentive person I've never met.
I just noticed today that he has a garden bench against the back of my house, directly in front of my back door. What the Frost?

I had a bunch of debris piled there. I don't know what he did with it, because I'm too lazy to walk back there and look.
He's really pissing me off with his behavior. I want to clean up my patio and de-weed the front area of my house, but he's being so neat and tidy that I just can't do it. It's the principle of the matter. I have to leave my yard looking crappy now because I know it's going to drive him nuts.
I've only seen him once--he's a middle-aged gay (maybe) guy.
I think I may start a compost heap.

On the upside, you don't have to lift a finger to "enjoy" the newly cleaned up back....on the other...he could start throwing parties all night long in "his" back yard...
Had a neighbor who tried to get extra property by tilling a 3 acre parcell of land between our property one year. He went down to the county to say 'I'm planting X on this land this year', they called me to find out if I'd given permision (I was out of town when he tilled and was getting ready to plant). He was very pissed off when I said "Frost NO!" and demanded he till under 1 1/2 acres he'd already planted. Best crop I had that year, 'cause I didn't have to pay to have it sprayed for weeds (he'd already done) or get gas for the tractor to till.
Good luck with your guy, maybe start tossing empty beer cans into the back space, and sunbath on the bench (since it's now on your property)

I've just moved into a nice little place downtown. There is a hot chick living in the front part of the yard and we "share" a courtyard. I've been fixing up the place nicely to impress her, but she hasn't even said "hi". I was hoping that if she came over I would suggest we sit on the little bench I got and maybe this could become our special spot...I also wanted to offer to fix up her garden but I think she is shy or just a recluse.....

That was Creedence Clearwater Revival who sang that song--NOT the Doobie Brothers.
I looked out my back door and he piled my debris neatly, behind his bench.
The people who lived there before him STOLE my big granite block that was next to my house. I was going to steal it back, but I hadn't realized they'd moved out because I'm a Shakespearety neighbor.
Now, I can't take it back because he has potted plants all over it.
Oh, and I know he's probably gay because 99% of the men in this town are.

Millie, bake him wicked awesome cookies and then when he think s you're a sweet and nice and stuff, tell him you wanted to be sure he isn't confused about where your property is and where his is...... You can probably get some on that bright orange plastic temporary fencing stuff at Home depot to give him a visual if he doesn't get it the first time around.....
Next step would be to bake him a cake in the shape of a person with a few fingers missing or a limb mangled.

I still haven't figured out how much I care that he has taken over my back door area.
The last neighbors hung party lights on MY house for their many parties. They asked me permission first and I said I didn't care.
They never invited me to a party, though.
I'd take pictures, but the battery in my camera died.

Dear Mr. Pubah,
Very pleased to meet you. As a lowly, fresh n00b, I meant no disrespect to the Hobo Community. However, I do have one question for you: Is it true that Bag Ladies are higher up than Alcoholic Benchwarmers, and yet lower than the Dumpster Divers? Answer that, and you may retrieveth whatever you'd like from my trunk, though I fear that all that remains of my junk are bones. Possibly from rodents.
Mind the knives,
SAVIORA

Savior Mon Ami,
All homeless dumpster dive. It's the most efficient way to acquire things (food, clothing, shelter, digital cameras). Bag ladies are higher on our social scale simply because they alway have something to sell (Didn't you watch the Jerry Springer "I Sleep with Bag Ladies: episode).
As for the junk in your trunk (please remove the razor blades. They hurt my probe), Your Pubah must see your trunk to determine what junk he wants to retrieve.
Again, I am selective.
Skin and bones streatched over organs,
Pubah

Chit, I don't like making friends with my neighbors. They always know when you're home so you can't hide from them. And when you see the on the way to the car, they expect you to stop and make conversation or something.
Too much pressure.
I prefer a quick wave and a "hi" as I jump into my car and leave.
And, if they knew me better, they would prefer that, too, I'm sure.
