We had the most bizarre experience today. (Edited down for clarity and bizzarro brevity... nothing sane and normal about this) 1. Contractor Guys come to excavate for sidewalk on neighbors yard 2. Guys pile stuff in my yard (inc. part of heavy equipment) 3. I ask Guy #1 to please move bobcat attachment 4. Guy #1 acts p*ssed 5. I go inside 6. Guy #2 later comes to my door 7. Guy #2 apologizes for stuff in yard (seems nice until...) 8. Tells me he's missing a part 9. I tell him I didn't see it anywhere 10. He acts angry / like he thinks we took it 11. Neighbor comes over 12. Neighbor is mad that we didn't want stuff piled in our yard 13. Neighbor also acts like we took whatzit 14. Guy leaves in a fury 15. Try to be nice with neighbor 16. Makes no dent on neighbors mood (suspicion coated with teflon) 17. Neighbor leaves 18. We're amazed. AARRGGHH! Theory I posit : This strange behavior is either entirely due to Minnesota inbreeding or the interaction between Minnesota passive-aggressive inbreeding and Hoosier "it's my yard so why should you pile your crap in it"-ism. |
