My neighbor bought the house next to me about 2 years ago. A nice young white couple. Couple weeks after he moved in I had them over for BBQ. Since then I've loaned him tools and helped out from time to time, like when a storm blew a tree down. He's also someone who gets bottles of wine that I brew. I get to test new recipes on them. Either way, I get a text from him yesterday asking if I were home, but I happened to be at the hardware store. Told him I'd be home soon and asked why. He didn't respond. I get home and find a large package on my doorstep with a note saying thank you for being the best neighbor ever and for all my help. He noticed I had a compost pile that I turned with a pitchfork, but no barrel turner so he bought new one for me as a thank you/early Christmas gift. He left it before leaving town for the day.

Then I get home after work today and find a wine box with empty bottles in it and a note with a $50 gift card in it. It's from an older neighbor couple on the other side. Saying thank you for being a good neighbor and sharing my wine hobby with them. Telling me I have a knack for my "hobby".

I don't get emotional very easily, but I'm touched. I don't do things because I expect something, I do them because it's right. I treat others how I want to be treated, until you give me reason otherwise. 2 days in a row?! I'm feeling humbled.

Where I'm from we'd simply say "that's mighty White of you." We should bring this statement back in style.

I hope they will stay on their own side of the property lines and mind their own business

Good luck if they have black hair/eyes. They will find every way possible to trespass onto your property in ways that annoy the shit out of you, but aren't technically illegal. Don't you like smelling their 24x7 laundry perfume bombs when you're gardening? You'll love the light inside your bedroom when you're trying to sleep and they have 27 light fixtures in the back yard that run from dusk until dawn. The nigger pitbulls barking at all hours adds ambiance to the neighborhood. It's fun when you want to relax by the pool and they helpfully serenade you with nigger mumble rap from their outdoor stereo system. The broken sprinklers are a joy, too. All that free water that washes the mud from their yard onto your sidewalk is nice. Even better when they build a "granny flat" in their backyard to rent to more shitskin invaders to double up on the noise and other annoyances. The kids will love how they park the 18 cars in their driveway blocking the sidewalk so they can't skate and ride bikes. Finding random pieces of trash in your yard that have blown in from their yard is an almost-daily bonus you will look forward to, too.

Fuck I hate blackheads.
