War of the Neighbours - Part 4
Well, as much as I appreciate your trying to do me a favour, I would still like to be asked before having signs posted on my property. Twice now you have posted signs and attached a basket without asking me first. I don’t see how that is treating me with respect. My property is not for you to do with as you wish. That includes stepping onto my front garden and cleaning up garbage. That is called trespassing, incidentally.
Secondly, the first minute we met, you told me that I should be appalled and ashamed of myself for the crap in front of my property and on my property, just one week after I moved in. You did this without introducing yourself first. It was not exactly neighbourly of you to talk to me that way.
Had you take the time to ask, you would have learned that I spent an entire week scouring out the insides of my apartment from dog hair, cob webs, dirt and grime that was embedded into my floors, walls, ceilings, windows, kitchen cupboards and bathroom. On top of that I was working 70 hours that week and taking care of my child. So that was why I didn’t immediately clean up the property the second I moved in. Also, renovation was going to be done anyways, and more dirt would have fallen on my property. I would have rather waited until that was done before taking the time to clean it all up. It would have been futile to clean up when more bricks and dirt was going to fall anyways.
I was not told the brown garbage bin was mine. It is certainly not mine at all.
And lastly, it was kind of you to say that my neighbours are educated and I am not. You have no idea of my educational background nor of my life or where I come from nor where I have lived and how. But I can assure you that I was certainly brought up well enough to demonstrate better manners and more courtesy and respect than you have shown to me. My fence does not belong to you, if you would have like to post signs, all you had to do was talk to me first and see how I would feel about it. I would have much preferred discussing ways to resolve those issues with you than walking out my front door and seeing a stranger affixing signs and baskets to my property without my prior consent.
If you had issues about garbage around my property, you could have spoken to me about it in a civilized manner instead of telling me that I should be ashamed of myself as you did when we first met.
All it would have taken for us to be good neighbours is for you to introduce yourself and express your concerns about having a clean neighbourhood. I would have been glad to collaborate with you in your efforts.
But because you deem it “educated” and a “good attitude” to trespass on my property, post signs on my property without my permission and furthermore introducing yourself by telling me right off the bat that I was a bad neighbour and should be ashamed, I don’t necessarily feel encouraged to establish some semblance of a friendship with you. Especially not now, after having received your last note, the tone in that note was anger and rudeness without apparent justification.
I will take care of my property when I can during my free time and I would appreciate not receiving any more remonstrative communications from you,
