Thanks for reminding me why I have AR on ignore. He needs to fuck off with the homophobic shit.

We've actually become pretty good friends with our neighbors. It's nice to be able to send out a text message on a Friday at 4pm and say "bar's open" and have someone show up to have a drink and shoot the shit with in the backyard.

I'll be watching the football game outside tonight and I'm sure a couple of them will stop by. We're a friendlier folk up here, I guess.

It’s twenty fucking miles, you ain’t walking there!

Where I grew up the neighbors were so friendly that when I brought my GF into the house while my folks were away the lady next door knocked on the door 10 min later and asked if my mom was home. But I've lived with 10-30 neighbors and not in the forest like the subject here. I have had neighbors that lived a life holed up in the house and liked it that way. The rest of us partied a lot.

Yeah, don't get stabbed.

Or hook them up with his "guy" for wood and whatnot. Could have done two solids for the price of one. That's probably what a "very generous guy" would have done.

Honestly though, I think buttface is full of shit and this whole encounter didn't happen like he says. He probably hid and didn't answer the door.

My guy is multi-generational dairy family from town, he hates flatlanders moving here, it’s a sweet town, really beautiful, no one wants to see it changed into Westchester county. I at least don’t hate them, but I totally understand not welcoming people bent on change. He would be pissed if I gave them his number, if he wants the business he will go introduce himself. Not my deal, why should it be?

How long have you lived there ?

**buttahflake** · 09-08-2022, 03:00 PM

20 years in town, two in the next town over, and up in Campton/Plymouth/Holderness before that since 1986. I grew up less than 100 miles from this town. I know how it works here, we don’t knock on doors and ask for someone’s info, we just don’t.

My mom gave me this bit of wisdom. "If you think that all of your neighbors are crazy, it's not your neighbors".

Wisest woman I ever met.

The part you're missing is that isn't the point. I and surely many others in this thread believe you, that what they did goes against local culture. That doesn't mean you weren't an asshole to them.

**Buster Highmen** · 09-08-2022, 03:13 PM

You know, it's been said that online personas are not a reflection of a person in real life.
And since we're all neighbors here in our little grotto of the innert00bs, I'm as surprised as others.

**riser4** · 09-08-2022, 03:14 PM

100 miles, eh? So you could be from, NY, CT, or VT. Were you even born in NH?

He's the enforcer of all things local.

I play drums sometimes.. AND my dog is yappy, really yappy in the back yard fairly often.. Neighbors fucked up my fence burning bamboo. I'm happy enough about them finally getting that fucking bamboo under control that I'm good with them only sort of fixing my fence.. with scrap wood. Fence is 20 years old..

Pick your battles. It's gotta be BAD, REALLY BAD before I'll escalate beyond friendly chat across the felce..

At what point do you go get your gun stored in your locked car and enforce justice?
