You woke my cat!

Everyone has neighbours, well not everyone but most. Some you can live with and even become really good friends with (i.e my neighbour and one of my best friends Hannah), But not all neighbours are nice people. Some are annoying, angry, strange and some even too nice.

I have an annoying (old) neighbour, Mrs. Nixon, who lives behind us. She is normally ok, but everynow and then she will come around asking us to turn down the music or ask that we stop kicking a ball around for fear of it breaking her windows. We usually have to notify her when we are having company around so she can expect noise.

One time I was vacuuming the house as a favour to my mother who was out. After about 15 minutes I hear the doorbell ring, and surely enough it was Mrs. Nixon asking about the noise. "I was just vacuuming" I said.
"Oh , I was wondering if you could turn it down as you woke my cat." She replied.
"I can't really, all the windows are closed and I don't think vacuum cleaners have volume control"
"Mine does" she said, "it never wakes Sydney (her cat.)"
I didn't believe her story, but didn't want to blantantly say it so I asked if it was ok if I used her vacuum cleaner.
"Oh no, it's not working it at the moment."
"OK, then I will have to use ours then. Apologise to Sydney for me." I said hoping it would be the end of the matter.
"You could just vacuum at about 4, he won't be sleeping then."
"I'm sorry Mrs. Nixon, I will be out at 4." I said while closing the door.

She rang my mother later that night detailing how "rude" I was. We get this alot from her, we have just learned to humour her.

So I am asking do you have any stories to tell about strange or annoying neighbours?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Today another complaint from Mrs. Nixon. She rang my mum accusing me of kicking her cat. Which is partly true, but only because it was attacking my dog. It's goddamn vicious! I kicked at it to try and motivate it to leave our yard.

She really has been getting more and more obnoxious and senile.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

No use crawling, that's still too noisy. I think you might have to slide your way around.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

There are no more interesting cat stories, they were probably the most interesting. She really is a nice lady when she isn't fretting over something, but she is a racist, and in fact at times seems genuinely scared of other races.

I have quite a few Asian and Middle Eastern friends who come around after school sometimes. Mrs. Nixon would often also come around for afternoon tea and cake or something with my mum, but leave whenever me and my friends entered the house. She comes up with some of the worst excuses also, once she claimed she was late for a haircut and the next time we saw her she didn't seem to have her hair cut. So we queried her about it. She insisted that she had. She has since used the same excuse and we believe she got her husband to do a trim of her hair (he once worked as a hair dresser). She also used the excuse that she needed to sweep the driveway. I now try to ask my friends to come over anytime she comes around.

Also she gave her husband a bedtime of 9.00pm after he spent one night out late drinking at the pub.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
