“Why do you always think the worst of people? Maybe she had some leftover plants and she thought you might like them. Just a generous neighborly gesture.”
Are you really that stupid? Did you not see the pristine white water can? Or read her Next Door “suggestions” about how some people are not doing their part to “beautify” the neighborhood? It’s clearly a declaration of war.
But instead of saying any of those things, I agreed, “Of course, I’m sure you’re right dear. I’ll be sure to thank her.”
Nothing says thank you like a three-ton delivery of manure.

There are those neighbours who just cannot stand the ones who don’t maintain the good look…. My neighbours must hate me when I do “No-Mow-May” 🙂

Yikes! What a stench for the whole neighborhood to enjoy! During my teen years, we lived across the road from a huge field that got the stinky treatment every spring and fall.
Three tons?? Well, there will certainly be enough for all the neighbors to share!

Now that’s a thank you message that can’t be misinterpreted. She might be sorry, if the neighbour sees it as a declaration of war. Watch out.
