34. Because he lives on the block across the street

and I see he and his wife when I'm out walking my dogs. We live in a really civil neighborhood, and I'd like to keep it that way. I found out later, his wife is a hardcore Dem, and loves "cancelling" his vote in the regular elections.

I get in digs at people if they're rude, but not if their my immediate neighbors.One woman showed up last Presidential election dressed head to toe in red-white-and-blue, and said "I guess you can tell by how I'm dressed how I'm voting!" and I said "Why? Because you think Republicans are the only ones who wear red white and blue? I don't think so". She huffed off, throwing over her shoulder "Well! I still believe in American exceptionalism!!!" I swear to God, you can't make this shit up.
