Addendum to Snitty Neighbors

Snitty was in her driveway yesterday, and since the judge deemed our disputes *not* harassment, I saw no harm in trying to speak to her. So I said, “Elaine, if you have a problem, please come to us and not call the police.” None of which she even heard, I was thinking, as no sooner did I say her name, she slammed her car door shut.

Last night two officers showed up and did the blame the victim game. If you stop provoking her, we wouldn’t need to come. I wasn’t in the mood. Sure, it’s my fault. The crazies do whateverthehell they please while the sane get blamed. The past three times I’ve been as quiet as a church mouse. Doug too. Even Doug was more animated this time, and didn’t like the tone and tenor of their implications. I see no reason why I have to even speak with them, but hey, I didn’t go to law school. Waiting for her to do the right thing and put up a fence. I am so naive…

car selfie. Slightly pissed off.
