Sorry I probably shouldn’t have used that word. We keep our property fairly clean, by no means are we perfect but we care about our neighbors. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve helped them which to me comes with living next to someone. This guy put the soft voice on like he’s Mr. Wonderful and just does whatever is good for him and no concern for his neighbors. Over the short time he’s been here I’ve saved him thousands of dollars in repairs on his house and at one point I spent a couple hundred dollars fixing an insulated window, really pulling favors from a company I deal with to get it fixed and he didn’t reimburse me the money for almost 3 months. I had to call him and tell him to pay me back. I didn’t make a time on it but saved him 2500 dollars to replace it. He has a hundred trees in his yard and blows all the leaves into the street which all, all end up in my yard. I had to tell him to stop. It takes me hours and hours to clean them out of my bushes then I see he’s doing it again. It would take him a 1/2 hour or so to pick them up. I called him at one point and said just tell me when you blow them out in the road, it’s easier if I pick them up out there than in my bushes. One time they were away and I paid to have a friend clean their yard. 🙄🙄🙄
Thank you Tom, I’m definitely a work in progress. I wasn’t happy calling him for my lousy 200 dollars after 3 months. At the 1 1/2 moth point he actually brought it up to me, and said I don’t have the money now but I’ll get it. Did I tell you he’s a PCP…..
You’re going to love this one Tom, he’s a primary care physician!! House prices in Mass. are crazy!! Zillow shows our house from about 800-900 thousand, crazy!!! I bought this house in 1999 for 235 thousand I think. There about. I may take Fritz Dahmus’ suggestion and move up to NH…
No he does work and he has two young kids that probably keep him busy. But that doesn’t mean you treat your neighbors badly. Many younger people have no etiquette, many didn’t learn it from their parents. I’m old school.
So, does the doctor have a WIFE? In any event, you would think he would have hired yard maintenance people - and well as a home handyman - which clearly he is incapable of handling either chores himself.
Yes he has a wife and I think they’re about in the same mindset when it comes to doing the wrong thing as far as the treatment of a neighbor that keeps helping you….
I did call them the bus company. My neighbor leaves his cars in the street so when the plow goes by there’s a big berm of snow around them. Water runs down and fills inside the snow banks and it’s like an ice skating rink with a snow bank around it so the bus and the kids can’t get near there. He also put paper bags filled with leaves after the town stopped picking them up all along the road. So those are there all winter rotting away. They don’t pick them up until June I think. It looks like Tobacco Road over there. 😒😒
I have a older couple (late 70s) who came here a fee years ago from Iran. They speak about 5 words of english, and the wife has severe handicap with her legs, and the husband is just old (according to the wife). I make sure their sidewalks and driveway are done so he doesnt wind up a statistic of shovelmania heartattackkius, that happens to people. Both (i believe) are jabbed, so i do my best to keep them alive,
Neighbors think cause their from Iran, theyre terrrorists. Im sure Iran sends their finest handicapped octogenarians here to kill americans
Although, I know little about you, on a personal basis, but if I had to guess? I would bet dollars to donuts, you are a way better neighbor than I could be, even on my best behavior
Wow JG...it's been quite a while since I've heard the word "Slobs"!
Thanks for the reminder...for the world has fallen victim to just that old phrase.
(sorry slobs...but you know who you are by now)

You truly have the patience of Job, James.

Couple things, James, - what is 'PCP'? Also, any idea what that property was selling for before your slob neighbor bought it?

THAT is amazing, James... A DOCTOR! Holy cow! Something strange going on there. But life is too short to put up with that shit.
I was wondering if you slob neighbor was a Section 8 recipient courtesy US taxpayers.
No he does work and he has two young kids that probably keep him busy. But that doesn’t mean you treat your neighbors badly. Many younger people have no etiquette, many didn’t learn it from their parents. I’m old school.

What a shame!
Walls do work.......even in yards......and buses stop where the kids are. Call the bus company.
Move to the country. I did. Peaceful.

A total SLOB! 🫣
My husband goes around the neighborhood when it snows and snow blows the neighbors driveway and sidewalk.

Your a good neighbor T
Although, I know little about you, on a personal basis, but if I had to guess? I would bet dollars to donuts, you are a way better neighbor than I could be, even on my best behavior
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve plowed my neighbors driveway. I hate to say it, they make it hard to want to help them. It frustrates me
Sometimes neighbors can drive you crazy. It sounds like you are being an extra great neighbor. Some people haven’t been taught to say thank you.
Buy a bigger blower, and the two of you could go back and forth blowing leaves at each other. If your blower is more powerful, you win !
8-)
LOL!
No no no it's fine.
I totally get the picture and you have the right to exercise the word "slobs".
It maybe goes back further than ancient Rome as a description.
Not just your ordinary old global slang word.
Maybe James could have gotten more modern and called them a "couple of dildos" ?
That would bring us up to at least the 1980's, no?
I'll need to double check the Urban Dictionary on that.....or tiktok.
Yes...the game show authorities say that is acceptable!
Definitely sloppy and inconsiderate neighbors! Ugh! 😩
