I hate my neighbor.Submitted by enygma on Fri, 01/04/2008 - 2:57am.
That sonofabitch neighbor of mine - the one with the cat-eating pit bull - finally agreed to pay for half of the total vet bill. I went to their house, he said he'd go out and get the money orders and drop them by later. Later came, and my mouth was just watering to tell him off. I had it all planned out, the perfect parting words for my new foe. And the bastard sent his kid over with the money. His kid. Teenage. Boy. You have got to be fucking kidding me. I know, I know...my anger is my own, blah blah blah. It doesn't stop me from wanting to break his twiggy little wife over my bigfatknee or punch him in the groin for every dollar he didn't pay me. I'm not a violent person, I just have violent thoughts. I don't think I've ever wanted to punch someone's smug fucking face in as much as his. Well, you see we've already been through this with them. When it comes down to it, they make lotsa lotsa money and we live with my mom and have food stamps. I can't afford to fight myself, much less my rich ass, construction-company ownin' neighbors. I have to trust that either karma or a higher power will intervene and exact justice. And, of course, this is a learning experience. I shouldn't have been so naive as to think that when he stood in my mom's entryway and promised to pay for the whole thing that he actually meant it. My bad for trusting that people are generally good, particularly my richy rich neighbor good-ol-boy. What a bunch of bullshit. I'll just pay the vet out as I can. They won't get much from me, but they'll get a little and if they don't like it they can take me to court. Can't get blood from a turnip and all. But I've got plenty of vitriolic turnip acid to spread high and wide. |
here's a tactic: give the money orders back and sue him for all of it. call the police now, and report the incident.
or have a lawyer send a letter demanding all of the money, plus extra. he can haggle it down to the total vet bill.
p.s. i'm so sorry for your loss.
