Naw this ain't about Mother but it's about the old lady I got for a neighbor...she could be Mothers sister from he11....for 2 years now this has bin simmering...she is abrupt to the point of being rude...and the only time I ever see her is when she has some kind of complaint to make to me...and the usual opening remark is, "Come over here I want to talk to you."
The opening gambit 2 years ago was that she wanted me to pay for 1/2 the block wall they built before I bought the house....I demured due to my law suit..........the latest complaint has been about a drainage pipe that was stubbed out just over the property line during my repair work...she threatened to call her attorney if it wasn't moved....iI refered her to the construction co, and they moved it....
So we come to today..I finally get the Construction company to come back after 6 weeks to finish their cleanup....I am waiting for the Foreman to get off the phone to talk to him about the slab of concrete that borders her property and that the fall of the concrete allows water to drain onto her property and that a Deco Drain will have to be installed to prevent it...When she comes out of the house and says the usual salutary greeting..."Come over here......" I said "No , your the one who wants to talk to me." So she walks over and says, "What are U going to do about the problem." I says "What problem." 'You know what problem the cement." I said, "Talk to him he's the Foreman representing the contractor." and I turned to walk away.."She said don't walk away your responsible too." I called the Foreman over and teld her to explain to him the problem which she did...finally asking him for a business card or piece of paper to write the number down (I had given her a card previously to contact the construction company). So she walks off to her mailbox...when she cames back I told her,"she was one rude old lady." She accused me of being a "Cheat" because I didn't pay for 1/2 the wall, I said "I was just about to talk to him about the drainage before you came out and were rude as usual" She replied your "Sick" and I replied I would be happy when she moved away (her house is for sale). She then said, " I'm going to talk to my attorney." I said, "Sue me.. your a rude old lady and I'm done with you." turning and walking away...to which she replied... "Your a crazy old B@$tard."......
Now this exchange upsets me to no end....I know I'm 'SICK" everybody here has told me that in no uncertain terms and that I'm "Crazy" too....I freely admit it all.. but what gets me is the "OLD" part....I have a hard time thinking of myself as being old...and thats coming from a woman who was around when Christ was a kid.....
