The nog kids will become pieces of shit guaranteed
The nog kids will become pieces of shit guaranteed
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.
