Great read! Very Funny As Always! I feel the same way. The older I get, The less I want to be near any human being. Thank God for Cats & Dogs! Can I be your neighbor? Lol

Oh, wonderful to read this! I found it very funny and ... recognizable! Really wonderful to see this experience, that secret thought we all have about our neighbors, being brought like this. "For a MILF, you're not bad!" (LMAO!) But also this part that sometimes you feel like everyone is watching each other, there are moments that you notice that more than others. Very funny, very much enjoyed reading it. Thanks for sharing!

Your wife is probably the only thing standing between you and a disorderly conduct ticket. Unfortunately my wife was no help in that regard.

That was awesome “Grumpy Stud” 🤣 You are sly like a skunk!

“I am Howard Grumpy Stud You heard to much about, Father’s keep their daughters in whenever I come out. People say I am crazy for the crazy things I do, I am Howard Grumpy Stud so who the Hell are you!”

Oh man,

This took me back to the days when we lived in a condo townhouse and had to pay $340/month in condo fees. I remember spraying vinegar and sprinkling cayenne pepper on the grassy 'common area' directly in front of our house one neighbour insisted on taking his dog to do it's business on. Asking him nicely not to take the dog there hadn't worked. It had only made it worse. I still have a mental picture of this dog gagging and choking as the idiot keep dragging it onto the area I'd spiked.

I think you just gave me an idea for a story my friend. I can copy and paste the Google review I left the condo company after we sold and moved on.
