So, I’ve had words with my stoner jerk neighbor for the second time in a week. He seems to dislike the neighborhood kids and, since mine live next door, he seems to have the biggest problem with them. We lived side by side for a year without exchanging a word. Now, he’s a grouchy bastard every time he smokes up. I tried to talk to the guy to ask him to just take it easy and not be such a prick when the kids come around our area, but it was no use, as he was too much of a chicken to actually have a conversation. I didn’t think that I’d come across another such gutless mouth off in my life time as one fellow that I met about 6 or 7 years ago. But, they seem to be around here and there.
There’s no use for you to totally “run away” from a verbal communication by going out of your way to avoid eye contact and begin walking away when someone (who you’ve never really even spoken to) wants to discuss something with you in an adult manner. But, “good neighbor” can’t seem to do that, I guess. I think that part of it is because he’s too stoned to coherently put together one word, let alone a whole sentence, but still!
Its frustrating, to say the least. All I want is to actually have one exchange of words that gets the understanding across that, “We don’t ever have to talk again, but please stop giving me dirty looks, you jerk.” I hope that, although he refused to participate in the conversation (making it seem like a monologue), that somewhere in his fried little brain perhaps we can go back to just not talking. The whole thing sucks.
