I Hate My Neighbour

[jamiesona]

Y'know, some day -- after I've moved out, once my career is in motion, once I own my own home -- I hope that my next-door neighbour and I will have a really terrible relationship. In fact, I hope we're bitter, bitter enemies. Because I think this would have some great sitcom-style comedic potential

The only good thing about the warehouse was the people.

I fucking hated working their full-time and I only did so for 2 weeks...

*shudder*

Re: Sitcom - If you're thinking black comedy, I'll be that neighbour.

I actually enjoy the work, for the most part. I don't know why you hated it so much...

And most of the people there are cool too, save for a few.

Didn't you say you weren't going to put up Christmas lights awhile back?

And not to nit-pick, but chances are if you owned your own home - in the suburbs! - you'd be married, and as such the attractive neighbour across the street would not appeal to you.

I dunno if I said that. I might have. I think I said that I'd only put up a couple strings, rather than go all out. But you know how competitive I can get, so that would all change if I had an evil neighbour to compete with.

Also, just because I'm married does not mean I become asexual, and thus I'm sure the attractive neighbour (and any attractive female, for that matter) will still appeal to me. My apologies to my future wife.

Well, wouldn't it work if you substitute in "townhouse", or "condo"?? I mean, it'll be trickier to put up lights etc in such a confined area, but... you know... it could work... yes...

Personally, I'd rather have a neighbour that I despise than an acquaintance. I'd hate making small talk with some schmuck only out of the default etiquette. That and going over to his house to chat around with his family--fucking gay. I hate people.

Hmmm...I might know a good option for that neighbour ;)
