Wacky things my neighbor says...

whimsy515 · January 2014

My neighbor is a middle aged woman, with 5 full grown kids and a couple of grand babies. She's a bit crunchy granola, hell I can be to sometimes. She's nice until she speaks

So the other night, I was out with my dog and she came out. I could tell she was really sick. Turns out, she had the flu, and got her elderly mother sick with the flu (they live together). I mentioned how I wouldn't get too close, but that thankfully I got the flu shot. (I know, different strains blah, blah, blah) She freaked out on me, and told me over and over to NEVER get the flu shot. How it's so bad for me. I told her it was the mercury free kind, but that I seem to be ok. That didn't shut her up, basically I'm a terrible person for getting the shot. She told me she never gets the shot, and I couldn't help but think, and you got the flu and infected your poor elderly mother. Whatever...

Around Christmas time, we told her we are having a boy. I asked her if she had any advice on boy babies (I'm clueless). The ONLY thing she said was, "Get him circumcised!" and walked away... Well then. Ok? I firmly believe that it's no one's business. And that wasn't the advice I was looking for.

NBR, she found out that I have many gay family members. Some are blood related, others we took in. Well, she began using the the term flamer, which really upset me. But then she mentioned how she's a great Christian. I politely said, "I don't think Jesus would approve of you calling gay people flamers." But what do I know?

It's not as crazy as some of the posts on here, but I felt like sharing. What are the crazy things you've heard this week?

Yikes I think I would try to avoid her!

I would avoid talking to her. Sounds like most things she says are pretty ridiculous.

We have a neighbor that told us there are microchips in our cars so the govt can watch us. She also built a pond so she will be ready "when the Sh!t hits the fan".

What will a pond do?

Hahah, maybe so she can have murky drinking water?

Lady (old!) at church today asked how I was feeling and then before I could open my mouth she told me that I must be fine because I was at church. Then she asked how far along, when is it due. Then if we knew what we're having. I used an upbeat voice to say "a little boy!" She cut off my next part (about yay for brothers) with oh it should be a girl and you must be disappointed and on and on.
Punching old ladies in church right after taking communion is really bad, but maybe it would have been ok that time?

That old lady totally needed a punch!

I didn't get a response to that though.

My neighbor says some outlandish things, but usually nothing insulting like this. I'd keep my distance, flu or not. Or Maybe she will be keeping her distance, now that she knows you carry the "flamer" gene and she might catch it!! Ggrrrrrr!!!

We have this neighbor that nobody likes. He likes to start fights for no reason. Mae bought our house Oct 2012, and in the spring my ILs were getting out vegetable garden together and the guy came up to the house and asked them to ask us if we can change the color of the house because he doesn't like it. Really mister, my husband and I happen to like the color of the house. Also he asked my ILs what kind of dogs we have, and they told him a pitbull and pitbull mix. He flat out said he doesn't like Pitbulls. That's fine everyone is entitled to their own opinions. So whenever my husband and I walk our dogs and we run into him he asks us, every single time if they are friendly. Yes my dogs are friendly all they want to do is lick your face. But it makes me mad, he pets my dogs but are still scared of them. Dude just tell me to my face that you are scared of my dogs and we won't stop to talk to you when we are out with them.

One of our neighbors has said some pretty awful things. When my daughter died she told me that I should just forget all about her, and that God knew what was best for me when he took her away. When she found out I was pregnant this time she told me everything is fine now because I'll be able to keep this one.

Why do people seem to think this is an appropriate topic of conversation/questioning? I have been quite surprised with how many people have asked me about this upon finding out we're having a boy. I tend to just awkwardly stare at them, but I'm about to start just being really rude. I'm impressed that you didn't throat punch your neighbor.

That's terrible! Just plain terrible!

Not necessarily BR, but my mom's neighbor has always been a peach. She once said to my mom "I don't understand why you had all those kids if you're just going to work all the time" to which my mom replied "same reason you have a degree and don't use it". This woman also home schools her youngest two, and calls her oldest son's GF a whore, simply because she is his GF. Yup, they're all religious like too. We had a talk one night, her and I, about god and our difference of opinions on the subject. To each their own, but I most certainly don't go running around preaching one thing and acting another way "because the bible says.

There are no words for how stupid your neighbor is. Throat punching is too good for her.
