I think I spooked my new neighbor(s)

[Lil Missy]

The gal that moved in next door is here every day, often more than once, because her boyfriend didn't come home and has the cell phone with him.

After 3 days of this, I gave her a ride across town she requested. And some smokes, and bus money to get back home, because he left her high and dry with no change. I politely suggested the possibility that he might be cheating. At the very least, he says he's running an errand, and doesn't come back for a day or two.

(Smell jerk, or loser, anyone?)

He has been back, and coincidentally my mailbox got trashed and mangled. I saw him today, and just waved at them while I went off to run a few errands.

Later, she knocked on my door asking for a cup of sugar. (I know, how cliche.) I told her I was rather disturbed about my property being trashed, and subtly wondered if he would do something like that since I helped her out.

Absolutely not! She says! And told me his car got vandalized and the tires slashed too. So must be someone in this area. Well, excuse me! He never came home! So he didn't get vandalized around here! (If that happened at all.)

I just told her there'd better nothing ever happen like that to my car, or property anymore. I think she took me seriously.

And I don't know if it makes a difference, but when she referred to my ex, I corrected her to make it known my ex was a "she". So she knows I am gay. I've noticed a definate change in tone. I just hope her boyfriend is not going to be an asshole about it.

2. I hope that you are not about to be sucked into a vortex of couple drama.

:hi:

4. That is exactly what I am thinking.

3. Ever see the movie "Citizen Ruth"?

I believe they filmed it in your area...anyways the neighbors you describe remind me of some characters from that movie in some way.

6. I was going to put it on my Netflix list. But it is satirical, and frankly, ridiculous.

8. Car looks fine, no knocks on the door. I guess the asshole next door stayed home tonight.

I swear, if that freeper gives me any trouble, he can kiss my queer ass.

I don't do damage. I just make Police reports.

9. I dunno, you think I'm worried for nothing? I'm just feeling a bit suspicious now.

10. I think I would extract myself from dealing with them if you can help it

It's nice to help people out, but that dude might not be stable.

11. He's certainly a jackass.

And he's gotta know that I realize that now.

Who goes to run an errand, and not come back for a day or two? He's done that at least twice this week. He leaves her with no cell phone, transportation, smokes, or change enough to ride a bus.

Sorry but only a jerk and a loser would do that. He's a jackass.

I just hope he is not a jealous jackass, and would have extra ire towards me because am gay. He sure seems like the type.

If my mail post gets mangled again, I'm going to go over and ask him politely to fix it.

If my car gets vandalized ...

:nuke: :nuke: :nuke:

12. If his tires got cut up and his car bashed I'd say it was all directed at him.

Is it possible that your mailbox got nailed by mistake--like maybe they thought it was HIS? Like maybe the OTHER woman got pissed and came to create some drama?

The other possibility that I'm wondering about is the woman next door doing it because she was pissed at you for even suggesting he might be cheating. Had it occurred to you that she was maybe kinda pissed that you even made an oblique reference to him cheating on her?

:shrug:

This kind of relationship crap is something I'd steer VERY clear of if it was me. 95% of the time you can help out somebody and feel like you did something nice, but there IS that 5% of the time when they are ALL f***ing nuts and they get mad at you for even being anywhere near it.

Stay safe.

13. i don't believe the gal would cause any damage. My instincts just don't feel that.

I just went out to take a look at his car. They must be gone right now, or at least he is. I don't recall seeing any damage yesterday though.

After I mentioned the possibility of his cheating, she did come back here again. I think she is a victim here.

Sorry, but going out on an errand and not comimg back for a day or two, and a couple times this week, stinks to high hell of cheating to me. Or at the very least, getting drunk with the guy buddies, and not able to drive home.

If so, take the girlfriend with you! She could use a night out too! Unless you're a cheap bastard, and don't want to pay for her drinks. In that case, you can't afford to go out if yo can't pitch in for her too. I think he's probably just an asshole.

My dad taught me manners. If you cant afford the tip, don't go out. If you can't afford your date, don't go out. And if you can't write a check for at least $50, you can't afford to write a check. Don't go out.
