(8,361 posts)but, yes, I did explain carefully to them why they should not take things without permission of the owner. I asked if they had permission. They said that their grandmother sent them to pick the fruit. They would not stop arguing with me. My neighbor had been having his fruit stolen every year. He was so angry about it, he finally cut the tree down so no one could steal the fruit. I only told them I'd have to call the police when they argued and refused to leave. I can't believe they were so "DISRESPECTFUL" as to argue with a strange adult about taking things that did not belong to them. So I told them they must stop or I would have to call the police. Do you think I should have allowed them to continue to steal, when they refused to listen? In fact, when they first saw my car coming around the corner, they actually ran to hide behind a bush, so they knew they shouldn't be taking the fruit.
You seem to be a quite nasty person yourself to say such a thing about me, who you do not know at all. I watch out for my neighbor's property when they aren't home, just like they do for me. Knowing nothing about me and deciding you would never have respect for me - well, what does that say about you?
I have no idea why you wanted to start a fight with me about such a simple thing as there being more than one kind of respect. Sorry you don't think I'm using the right terminology, but I'm done with you. You are on ignore, unless you'd like to argue the differences between dark blue and navy.
