He mows my lawn, paints the run down siding on my house, shovels the snow on my part of the sidewalk, plays catch with my son.
She cooks nutritious meals for my children, pulls all of the big weeds in my shitty-looking flower beds (and occasionally plants flowers), consoles my always-crying wife.
What's wrong with you people that you can't get along with your neighbors. I don't want to be harsh, but maybe it's not them; maybe it's you.

(1,928 posts)What sorts of neighborhoods do these people live in? I mean, my neighbors take care of me, and I don't do anything. In fact, it almost seems like I do worse than nothing; it's like my house is the shittiest on the block, but my neighbors just keep making it better. They are great.
Sure, you may ask, "Well, liver, what do you contribute?" Well, my general bad-assery inspires everyone, I think. So there's that.

(14,881 posts)I'm always cooking extra for his poor, hungry kids and ever since I found the missus with a big black eye and swollen crooked nose, I've been taking care of her too. I'm hoping if I weed out his lawn and plant some flowers, it'll give that dump enough "curb appeal" to attract a buyer so I can be rid of them once and for all.
He thinks we get along great, lol. Little does he know about the log I'm keeping and the camaflouge game cameras strapped to my side maples, aimed squarely at his house.

(3,220 posts)Him and his wife are annoying busy bodies. He's a bully and I told him to fuck off to his face. Every time I see that stupid, shit-eating look on his face when he walks by, my soul dies a little. He's also a mega-weirdo that stares at me all of the time. I'm convinced that he might be a serial killer.
Needless to say, I wouldn't want any nutritious meals from him for obvious reasons. Every avoided interaction with him lessens the chance of ending up dead in a ditch somewhere.
My other neighbors are cool.
