    I think you are the crazy neighbor

    Yesterday, I had someone lodge a complaint that one of the condominiums I manage was putting something in the water that made their hair fall out. Today, I've already had another complaint that their neighbor had an iPod in their driveway.

    Me - You mean a storage pod, like to put furniture in? I can send a violation letter for that.

    SC - No, the electronic device that kids listen to music on.

    Me - ...

    SC - Well, someone should go tell them that it's there before it rains and gets wet.

    Me - Yes, that would be the neighborly thing to do.

    SC - Oh, I couldn't do that! I don't know my neighbor, they could be crazy!

    Paranoid much? Good Lord, no one is going to bite your head for saying, "Excuse me, but . . . someone left their iPod in the driveway."
    They say that God only gives us what we can handle. Apparently, God thinks I'm a bad ass.

      I don't interact with my neighbors much (a large portion of them are either drug dealers or really are crazy), but damn, even I could knock on their doors to let them know about their iPod if I had to. Sheesh!

        *sheepish grin* I would have pawned the iPod. But then again, I'm a jerk.

          Do you live around here?

            I met some new neighbors last week when I opened my door to get the mail and there was a 2-year-old on my front steps. They were moving in and he took advantage of his parents' momentary distraction to explore the neighborhood.

            I'm just glad he stopped at my door, since I'm the last house before the busy cross-street.

              Pick it up and put it on their front porch, or in their mailbox, if you don't want to actually talk to them. Geez.
              Seshat's self-help guide:
              1. Would you rather be right, or get the result you want?
              2. If you're consistently getting results you don't want, change what you do.
              3. Deal with the situation you have now, however it occurred.
              4. Accept the consequences of your decisions.

                I'm one of those people whose brain goes when I first meet someone, but even I'd want someone to tell me my iPod was in the driveway, or better yet, come to my door and hand it to me.

                iPods are not cheap devices.

                  Was I the only person who wondered if this was a reference to the ipod or the small child?

                    Nah. And so long as they aren't crazy, putting both on their porch would work

                    Tell him a bench has wet paint on it and he’ll have to touch to be sure.
