They are real prudes, the wife is a lawn nazi. When she moved in she was on the riding lawn mower three times a week, no kidding.She soon killed the grass because it didn't have time to recover, it started turning brown. At that time, we didn't have the back deck screened in and I liked to sit on the front porch in the evening, drink beer and watch the birds on the bird feeder. For some reason, this pissed her off to no end. She complained to my neighbor about it so I enjoyed it even more.
Our insurance adjusters were buried after hurricane Ike so I couldn't start ripping out sheetrock until they came, we missed the FEMA pickup. I called the city and explained, the City Manager said no problem, just pile it by the street and they would get it eventually, many people were in the same situation. This drove her berserk, she called at least three times complaining about the pile of debris.(I know the city secretary)
It has been cold and my house faces the west. Last week I was sitting on the porch enjoying the evening sun as she came out to get her mail. Her mailbox is on my side of the street, when she walked toward our house she saw me, I smiled and she snapped her head down and marched to her mailbox. The neighbor on the side of me came out to get her mail, I shout "Hello Margaret." she answered very friendly as the bitch across the street walked back home.
I feel sorry for her husband. He can't even get out of his truck after a days work without her finger pointing. He can't even change shoes before he is leaf blowing, cutting limbs while the kids sweep the porch and sidewalk. Heaven forbid there might be a leaf on the drive during autumn.
