[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hah! Reminds me of the time a neighbor asked to "borrow my ladder." I brought it over and then he tells me he's afraid of heights and wants me to climb the ladder instead. [/quote]

Yep. That plus the ingratitude mentioned elsewhere. You need someone to take you to your weekly hair appointment? Sure! You want me to do it in the middle of the workday and to take you to do a bunch of errands on the way home? We'll need to talk, and by talk, I mean I'll tell you what I can manage in the months to come, and if that doesn't work for you, taxi time![/quote]

I am shocked that there are so many elderly neighbors like mine! My neighbor wants us to bring groceries, stuff from Home Depot, etc. When we suggested she could order online, she said she is afraid of hackers on the internet, so she would rather have us shop for her. We have plenty of extra time and gas for that![/quote]

OP here I LOLed at this. Yes, mom refuses to order online too for the same reason. It's not a completely unreasonable fear, but you take the risk so you don't advantage of neighbors.[/quote]
