The Neighbor

[james t kirk]

You know what's funny? I actually have no fucking clue who the Prime Minister of Canada is....

Maybe you should open a newspaper instead of making yourself look ignorant.

Just a suggestion. If you like looking stupid all the time, well, hey - whatever floats your boat.

Being informed is usually considered a good thing.

You forgot to mention that sh*t is also sold in large quantities for people to buy to lay out in their soil and gardens. Manure can be expensive sh*t.

Yes your right . Lol Your better off buying it in bags from a store . Getting it from a farmer for your garden is not a good idea . That stuff is laced with seeds from the fields and then you'll have all kinds of different weeds growing in the garden . Some of those weeds or field plants can be hard to get rid of .

I have that problem now because of my neighbour.

I got a neighbour who found out i'm in the concrete flooring business and started asking advise about his concrete basement & garage floor problems and how he can solve it. i start giving him advise and all. Basically, he wanted his garage and basement floors to look like mine. And he knew I did it myself (I'm in this trade). he end up screwing his floors (i don't know what happened there). came back asking me more advice on how to fix it. I will continue giving him advice. But unless he's going to hire me ($$$) that's all he's getting.

Well talk with the next door and he’s pissed call in a plumber last night and the bill for fixing a leaking valve and replace an elbow was just under 3 bills….lol. (Spelled it out for him weekend work OT and parts mark up etc etc) Told him next time plan the work would be a lot cheaper in the long run and I told him that he KNEW I was in the states till Saturday so WHY did you start this project? It finally dawn on him to back off and shut the fuck up.

PS told parts cost maybe 10 bucks money well spent...he learned something last night

If I was in your shoes, fixing the problem for him would depends on one thing.

If he's the kind of person who try to make up for your efforts I would fix the problem for him. If not I'd probably tell him to fuck himself. If I'm not sure then I would probably fix it for him anyway to see what his response would be. You never know if you're gonna need help from him some day.

I have the opposite problem. I have neighbours who are or were in the trades (not all my neighbours are lesbos) and they are always offering to help and often decline money. Makes it a bit awkward for me to decline their offers of help. One time my neighbour caught me using a stranger roofer and he was quite upset I didn't call him.

I wouldn't call that a "problem". These days most neighours wouldn't get off their asses to help you if your house was on fire.
