[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Neighbors can be tricky.

We used to live in upstate New York and every Spring would rent a wood chipper from United Rentals to clean up a year’s worth of fallen branches and debris. We had to outfit our car with a trailer hitch, pay all the rental and insurance fees, and haul this thing into our backyard. Lots of work and expense. One year one of our neighbors (mid 40s) asked if they could borrow the wood chipper to use on their property. Another year, a different neighbor (mid 60s) asked if we could bring the chipper over to their yard and chop up a bunch of their branches. They actually expected us to do all the work.

It’s not like either of our neighbors was ineligible to rent a wood chipper of their own. Just saw an opportunity to bonus off our investment and hard work. Some people are just wired this way, OP. [/quote]

Your situation is a lot more clear-cut. OP's is different. He or she owns the machine, and has been given lots of example in which neighbors help each other out. I agree that the way the neighbors insisted is rude. [/quote]
