Don't you love it when you spy neighbors who annoy you loading their shit into a moving truck?
The neighbor in question annoys me simply because he's always invading "my space." He's probably in his late 30s or early 40s, always in a hat and out-of-fashion shirts, pasty white, glasses...and FOREVER smoking a cigarette out front late at night when I'M trying to enjoy the wee-hour solitude!! I WANT to sit on my front porch ALONE...and here he is -- 2am, middle of January, for example -- lurking a mere 2 houses down. He makes me feel incredibly self-conscious...as I'M just SITTING, gazing up at the sky. Now and then, i'll also have a smoking prop of some sort, but generally, my fingers are clutching nothing. I've long contended that one needs a cigarette, dog leash, or, lately, cell phone in hand in order NOT to look shady while loitering. I've actually faked cell calls when people walk by me at odd times. Yes, to me, the cell phone's best reason-for-being may be as Manipulative Prop. I gesticulate and everything...where's my Emmy? But this man is now loading his things into a big ass truck...YES! I've even had a couple awkward encounters with him at ShopRite, where I pretend not to know him. Such a pain in the ass. I've said hi to him a couple times, maybe, late at night when i've walked past him after parking the car...but don't recall him ever saying hi back. Thus, HE'S the weirdo, and my actions are totally warranted. WHO doesn't say hi back?!?! WHO?! Well, today or tomorrow, I'll be rid of him for good! He'll be the latest of a bunch of agitating neighbors who've moved away. Praise Jesus! Get the FUCK away from ME!
