Not to bag on smokers BUT
Not to bag on smokers but this is just my venting moment…. Please forgive me if I offend you or anyone:
Boy do I have to vent tonight. I am sitting here in my home with the windows open to smell the fresh rain outside. But all I can smell is all my neighbors’ cigarette smoke. This sucks. Gosh! One of my most favorite smells is after a rain just how fresh everything is. I looked so forward to it. Today has been the first rain of the season and I looked forward to waking up and everything is so nice and clean from all the rain. But NO… No I can’t smell the fresh rain over the smoke of my neighbors. Do you think it would be rude of me to ask the neighbor not to smoke right next to our fence? It sucks. I can not even think of keeping my windows open to enjoy the freshness in the air. I am so sick of being around the Air Conditioned air. This really has been the first nice week that we can truly enjoy the open window and the fresh air. But NO Not us. Now I have lived in the Bay Area where everyone lives right next to each other like rat cages but never did I feel like this. This is causing me to think why Johnny and I both woke up the last few days with migraines. Since neither of us are smokers and can not stand it could it be while we are sleeping and enjoying the fresh air we are actually inhaling second hand smoke from our neighbor. I would love to say they we have the best neighbors in the world but since the day I met her we have had all sorts of interesting issues with each other. It seems to really bother Johnny at times and others in our family and I myself at times would love to just move away so I did not have to deal with some of the off the wall issues she has with us. She told us when we first met that she did not like people to park in front of her house. She does not want to look out her window and see cars or anything… Now if the person was just so anal about that then why oh why would she just now start parking in her garage after 2plus years? She has always bitched when anyone parks in front of her home but here are the facts. We live in a community that has curb and gutter. We live where we all own the street it is not just one person’s private parking area. I happen to have kids that drive and they all have their own cars… this means that there are times that we can not all park just in front of our house. Same with other neighbors and we all can understand and work with each other. But damn it… first gripping about cars, then about gardeners and then about this and that… NOW I have to put up with Cigarette smoke… YUCK! I know that when Johnny comes in from out in his office he will take one smell and then probably go out side and say something rude so that it is with in ear shot of her. I hope she has her hearing aids in She grips about us all the time… but she also grips about all the neighbors. Nothing New… I wish she would move and we would get other neighbors. Our neighborhood is pretty cool. Everyone gets along with each other. Never any real problem. But it seems that on occasion she seams to stir things up from calling the cops about cars that stay on the street for longer then 3 days to bitching about garbage cans. Just you know a really nosey butt of a neighbor. I have to say that we all the neighbors around her have all had issues and this is just something that I know is going to just go by…. I just needed to vent. I can not stand cigarette smoke. I drives me crazy…. Can you tell?

Don't you love those crazy neighbors. I'm a property manager and we have a tenant in a condo whose 'crazy old neighbor' called the police because of a buzzing sound that she thought was coming from our tenant's unit. When trying to resolve this issue, the 'crazy neighbor' kept calling me everyday for a week apologizing for calling the police. (sigh) Just one of those things that makes life interesting, I guess. Don't sweat your 'crazy old neighbor'. Just spray febreeze in her general direction, LoL.
