Hey Y'all.
Some new neighbors moved in to the house next door about 2 months ago. (I use the word house lightly, it is made into 6 apts)
Well, about 3 weeks ago they came over and said "Our Dad wants to talk to you."
So I go over there, he's a quadraplegic in a body wheelchair. He tells me he needs some cash for his insulin, gives me a story. I do the right thing, I think. He has a few things, collectors items he says, take those, as i was going to just give him the money. i say that's ok, he insists. Whatever.
So fri night, i am at work and he sends his kid over again. Dave says, Pat's not here, she's working til whenever.
So I get home at 2:30am. At 3 am I hear knocking on my door. We had been mixing, so I didn't hear anything til then.
I go outside, the man is stuck in some sand in his wheelchair. I am like, Ok, what is it? The insulin again. This time a bit more cash, oh you will have it back sat morning. I do it. Well, It's tuesday now. Excuses, explainations. he gives me 20 of it back today, then asked me for more an hour later.
I said no, cause i didn't have it. So he gets sarcastic, and says, I'll jus have to die, then.
I am like, look, dude, i work part-time, and i have problems of my own, sorry.
Man, i feel terrible, but i think he's on crack. A friend just told me tonite about insulin and how often people need it, he knew about it. I am just really fried about this. I am not sure what to think, except don't you know if you need insulin before 3am?
Next time, I'll tell him, no, I'll drive you to the pharmacy and get it for you. Hah! I bet he'll say no. Tonite he asked me about 9pm, told me his pastor of his church would pay me back tomorrow, and that he was at a funeral tonite. yeah, at 9pm? I don't think so.
Man, I am so trusting, I really thought he needed insulin. I just hate to see someone need that and not have it. I feel mixed feelings about this.
Oh well, live and learn. No, dudes, i don't need any beachfront property in Egypt.

Reason: too tired
Thanks, guys, I really appreciate the fact you aren't telling me I am so stupid. I will be able to fend him off, believe me. I will tell him next time I am calling the police. I grew up in this house, but the house next door wasn't there, wish it was still that way, the other neigbors from the same house stole my land-lord's lawnmower and it had only been here for 3 days. We live in the country, but have a couple of neigbors. Or should i say, vikings, as they mostly seem to loot and pillage.
I feel for you and Dave, Pat as you know i have first hand experience with trouble neighbours.Don't give them anymore money Pat,they are taking the piss and don't let them,do you think they might want to exchange homes, mine for theirs lol

Thanks, guys. Yeah, Supa-K, I knew you could relate after what you have been thru.
I live in the united states of chaos, Mark. I will take y'alls advice and document this.
I wonder if these were the people who stole the lawnmower, I was thinking it was a different family over there.
I hate that house, we will hopefully be moving soon, can't wait to get away. When we lived in houston i began to see I didn't necessarily want to meet/know my neighbors, Austin also had some of that.
Then we move back here, and the small-town mentality started to worm it's way into our lives. Don't need to lock the car, (yeah right) get to know/hang with your neigbors, su casa me casa, take those ideas and put them somewhere else, right now.

Reason: just plain farking around
Well, update here-the wife came over last night, I drove her just down the road to get her son. Apparantly the old man was taking a lot of insulin, as it turns out he has an infection and is now in the hospital. I still think something is fishy, and the bottom line is, i can't afford to help them buy insulin or crack or whatever. so there is no more to be said as far as that goes. I do know now for a fact that a good friend of theirs is into crack, so i am just adding up the puzzle pieces.
1 plus 1 still equals 2 in my book.
