Trump in My Backyard [View all]

Just shoot me now. I had major ankle surgery last month and am just now getting around in a boot with crutches. The hubs and I thought sitting on the patio surrounded by the flowers in the backyard would improve my mood. It did ... for a while.

Our back fence neighbors were out working in their yard. They are a despicable pair, leaving brush piles, standing water, etc. in their yard. We've had to call the city multiple times because the mosquitoes got so bad. Let's just say they are not our favorite neighbors. Anyway, the wife turned on what we thought was talk radio. That was bad enough. It sounded like an evangelical preacher doing his thing, which would be normal for a Sunday, I guess.

I commented to my husband that the noise was distracting and I guess she heard me. So, she turned it UP. She's like that - bitchy and vindictive as hell. Lo and behold it was no preacher, but the orange insurrectionist apparently giving a speech in North or South Carolina. Every once in a while she'd scream "YES" to whatever he said like she was in church. I thought I was going to puke.

I figured two could play that game, so I talked louder, sprinkling "con man", "grifter", "liar" and a few other choice words in the conversation. The more I talked the more she turned it up. It got so loud our side yard neighbor came out on his deck and yelled at her to turn it down. She turned it up MORE. Side yard neighbor called the police, who were there in less than 5 min (our popos are VERY responsive). They told her to turn it down or they'd write her a citation. That didn't go over well. She started screaming at us and the other neighbor about her "rights" at which point the police took her inside the house. Disgusted, I crutched my way back inside and ate a donut.

You can't even sit in your own backyard anymore. I told the hubs next time this happens I'm bringing the boom box outside and playing classic rock to drown her out. Or maybe I need to record some Biden speeches??
