Logged-in during the wildfires... regarding your new neighbor story, I must admit that if I was the 'newbie' in the neighborhood; it would be SO nice to be welcomed by the established residents. Why so defensive? Why didn't you take this opportunity to meet your new neighbor? You could have easily turned this situation into a win-win. Wah-Wah back. Enjoy your site.

Hopefully it is a lesson for both sides of the fence, driveway or cubicle. I have a next door neighbor that appears to have a simulator disposition to your neighbor. I was warned about her by other neighbors. She just look angry no matter what. She is often out in front of her house (she has to keep a look out) One afternoon a few months after moving in and shortly after the warning, I walked up to her and handed her a bouquet of flowers. I said "I just wanted to thank you for being such a lovely neighbor." She was stunned. She could barely respond. This was her first real encounter with me more then polite "hello." I have lived in this house for three years and have never run into any issues. She has been nothing but polite to me and my family. Nasty neighbor, co-worker, customer...The morel of my story "Kill um with kindness." Cheers Recruitnik http://recruitnik.net This is a great post.
