I like to tell you about my friend Rick, He had this crazy ideal that he and his wife Pam, Jen, and this other due, Sherry and I could buy a house together and live in it. No he couldn't get the hint that it wouldn't work.
"No, I said "It won't work," "Everyone will want something different". I declared
"We can compromise" he exclaimed but he didn't get the hint I didn't like the way Jen and that other behaved, So after saying about seven time or so, I came right out and spelled it out for him which was a big mistake.
" I don't want the neighbors thinking were running a group home."
" I don't care what the neighbors think as long as were good neighbor." he said. Then I made the mistake of telling him that
I didn't want the neighbors calling saying "Guess what I see on the front lawn".
"Jen and Dan, might be marred and thats their business". He had a way of twisting my words
and I didn't appreciated it one little bit. For one think he called my Dad and told him everything and when my dad go on the phone. I really didn't appreciated having him call my dad and twisting my words at all. There was Pan his wife in the back round backing him up.
"Lecturing."
"I said I don't the neighbors calling. but if I was really higher function I would of said that I was moving to Florida dad said. I once read in a magazine were a couple decided to make out in pubic, one of the place was on mattress in high traffic department store and half the people would tell them to get a room the other half would complain to a manager. Only in Rick view to say anything it was called meddling. these two were total slobs.
Even thought she 21 she acted like she was some kindergarten all of the time the way she played with her silverware, the way she sucked her thumb,
He was picking up application for her and one of the place is was at the place is were I was working. you see her she wanted to quick the job she working
at. because everyone was given her a hard time.
When I asked "why they were given her a hard time."
He, said, "Oh because she is young." I didn't want her to work were I was working, because I felt that it would give some of my co workers a lower opinion of me.
"The weird part was is that we were going out to dinner. Will one thing it was the only social life I had. I guess you could say I was socially starved. Now I haven't seen anything yet, but if I had niece and she came home from kindergarten and some grown man did anything to her. me and my meddling shot gun would have lots of question for him and his parents, but in all honesty I think people should keep their sex life to them self and not shove it down
everyone else throat.
