I used to live in a trailer park, and those houses are really close together. I had some next door neighbors that where nice people, their lifestyle was a little weird, the lady would come out and talk and talk an talk so much that even the polite "I have to go my dinner is ready." didn't work she would then say, Oh we had the best dinner the other night....and then I would have to sit and talk with her longer about stuff. Lots of times I would make the mistake of almost getting out of her clutches and then before I knew it I would ask her a question! After asking the question I then realized I would be there for another hour hearing about her health problems that she has told me about a million times. She had talked her family to death so they were gratefull to see me talking with her. My kids finally had to just start saving me by coming an telling me that I was urgently needed on the phone. Thank God for smart kids....anyway they also had a habit of asking me for money and one time I loaned them some and after that it was a nightmare they would watch for me to pull in (I had to go past their house to get to my driveway) sometimes I had to sneak into my house from around back, or plan not to be home until I wanted to deal with them. Part of it was my own fault for not standing up for myself and flat out saying NO. I have since moved from there and they don't bother me anymore I do get a call once in awhile from the man who lives there to ask if I need my lawn mowed but other than that I haven't heard from them since I moved.
