The woman isn't trying to help out her busy neighbors--she doesn't like the way they take care of the yard so she is going to "help" them! In my line of work I deal with a lot of what we call Mrs. Kravitz (from the nosey neighbor on Bewitched). These are the people who complain about every little thing a neighbor does that they don't agree with. Unfortunatly, some do more than complain!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-1151865161786597132006-07-02T11:32:00.000-07:002006-07-02T11:32:00.000-07:00Unbelievable!

I know her well from church and she has already asked me to cut down a thriving tree in my back yard because it shades her newly planted garden. My answer was a meek, so sorry but with these three lilac bushes dead my "husband" thinks it silly to cut down a thriving tree. sorry. Yikes. she left me a message saying that she was going to come over and fix my hose this weekend bc when she was watering she noticed how little of it actually went into the water and how much of it went onto the cement. yup-- so .... i am waiting. Wish me luck sunday, that is when she will likely try and talk to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-1151611796097310182006-06-29T13:09:00.000-07:002006-06-29T13:09:00.000-07:00the story just gets creepier and creepier . . . ki...the story just gets creepier and creepier . . . kind of like a stephen king novel. good luck, bethany!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-1151565332464291382006-06-29T00:15:00.000-07:002006-06-29T00:15:00.000-07:00I'm with Adrienne!

Then file a police report immediately. Damages have been done, and this is a criminal act. It doesn't mean that the person will go to jail. It is probably just a misdemenor, but the police need to know. Then if things get worse, then the police can take immediate action. If this person has mental problems, then safety could be an issue. A mentally unstable person with pruning shears is not a good thing to come home to. File a police report immediately. It won't take long, and it will help Bethany feel like they have a little more control in a frustrating situation.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03927629025241208365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10702380.post-1151505295302998042006-06-28T07:34:00.000-07:002006-06-28T07:34:00.000-07:00I think your suggestion is good.

I can't imagine a fully congintive person thinking those actions really would be a help to your sister. This might sound bad, but are there any mentally handicapped people near her? Seriously. Then I could understand the actions and zeal and good intentions and it would be really hard to be angry...Celia Marie (W.)
