My Jerk Neighbor (Vanity)

Posted on 12/21/2014 9:11:27 AM PST by wgflyer

So, like, I’m a friendly person, wouldn’t hurt a fly, but when this jerk neighbor of mine said that global warming was a liberal fantasy I tried to reason with him. I told him the Arctic ice was melting, the polar bears were dying and the sea was rising but he kept spouting out stuff about records and trends and totally irrelevant things like water vapor, sunspots and volcanos. I’m well educated and I read the news. I never heard of any of the stuff he was throwing out. What B.S. How can you argue with a fool like that. I said “Whatever!” and left him to swill in his own stupid opinion and I’ve been fuming about it for days, now. I hate him.

Then I saw him talking to another neighbor, who I love, but who isn’t as attentive to current events as I am. As soon as I could I told her what an intolerant jerk he is and then gave her the facts. She thought he was nice and didn’t know how bad he is, so I filled her in. I think I showed her the real truth but I didn’t get to finish before she excused herself due to some appointment she’d almost forgotten about and had to hurry off to. She’s a nice person, but just not too switched on.

So, yesterday afternoon there was a block party and, naturally, the jerk was there. I can’t believe how gullible my neighbors were. They spoke to him. I saw them laughing. They seemed to like him, which was infuriating. Even the neighborhood minorities seemed to enjoy talking to him. I definitely had my work cut out for me.

So I made sure that I got them aside and let them know all about the jerk. I really filled them in on his flag waving, church going, racist, Republican voting ways and especially on his stupid climate denial. And when he had the gall to come up to me and say “hello” I said, “whatever”, and left him standing there like an idiot.

People like that should be thrown in jail. They are too intolerant to be among us. All they do is criticize, deny, and hate.

It is so frustrating to be so enlightened, and for so many around me not to realize it.

Did you at least spend an appropriate time in quarantine before coming in here, after being exposed to the liberal disease??

Be careful. If he has all those weird beliefs he’s likely to be a gun nut also!

I always ask them, well AGW can be summed up that the carbon emissions from humans although small, is enough to trigger a global release of other more potent global warming gasses causing catastrophic warming.

You believe in this, but you won’t believe that printing money and buying bonds won’t cause a global economic catastrophe.

Why?

I got it the first time, and I say “well done”. That is a perfect microcosm of leftist self-righteous hypocrisy.

LOL. You’re right about that! Of course, that’s what punctuates their enlightenment!

These people have been brainwashed by FOX News.

Rachel Maddow told me so.

I spent time at Breitbart and American Thinker, and used a mild disinfectant on my screen.

It’s a good thing your friend wasn’t a Hindu. He would have poured gasoline on himself and set himself on fire.

Dude, I can so much relate to you. I have neighbors like that too. For example, I was cutting my grass on Saturday morning this past autumn with my push-mower and raking my leaves so I could put them in the compost pile when suddenly my beautiful Saturday morning is disrupted by my most inconsiderate neighbor who fired up not only (gasp!) a GAS-powered lawn mower but then proceeded to rev up a very loud gas-powered LEAF BLOWER and spent over two hours walking up and down his lawn and blowing the leaves into the woods behind his house, absolutely choking the ability of the pine and oak trees in the forest to get water.

When he was done with his power mowing and his leaf blowing, why I just marched right over there and gave him a piece of my mind. I thought for sure I would make him feel all guilty about throwing all those carbons into the air and blowing all those leaves into the forest.

But instead, he copped an attitude and basically told me to mind my own business. He was such a brute about it. I hate him so much. I really, really hate him. I am hoping that he gets a very painful cancer and dies.

Then my other next-door neighbor, why he sits out on his back deck and smokes cigars. Sometimes when the wind is blowing right (or wrong), some of the cigar smoke gets into my yard, making my poodle cough and making my eyes water.

Well you guessed it, I marched right on over there and gave him a piece of my mind. But he wasn't apologetic at all. In fact, he used some very obscene words to me (that my poodle no doubt overheard).

Not only that, but he had a GAS grill fired up on his deck and he had all sorts of red meat on that grill. As a vegetarian, I was sick to my stomach. I told him that he really should not eat so much red meat and that he should consider changing his diet accordingly. Also, I pointed out that the propane gas heating his grill was potentially dangerous and not so good for our environment, as well as contributing to our global warming.

Instead of thanking me for my good advice, he got up off of his deck chair and said more obscene words and got really mean to me. He told me to get off his deck and never come back. To make matters worse, he then had out on his lawn yard signs for REPUBLICAN candidates! It's as if he was going out of his way to make my life a living hell. I hate him. I really, really hate him. I hope he gets lung cancer and has to get hooked up to one of those breathing machines and dies a slow, painful death.

I can also talk about the neighbors that live across the street from me and how I hate them as well. But I'm getting myself all worked up and I need to take a break from this computer for a while. I'm going to put some John Lennon on the stereo, make myself some seaweed soup and chill out for a while. I think I'll watch some Al Gore speeches on YouTube.

You nailed it. My son has an acquaintance just like this person. Our family laughs at this guys so called "logic." Our son can't wait to get home and tell us what the guy said "this time".

There really are people like the one in your story. Dumb as a box of rocks but for some reason they think they're so brilliant only they are enlightened enough to rule the world. Dumbasses through and through.

The saddest part of this entire commentary is how spot-on this depiction is of the pandemic liberal affliction.

Yeah! It's strange to think there are people who actually have garbage like that in their heads 24/7. Their world must be a real bitch to live in. They believe all of it.

***Just got off DU and felt inspired.***

You need to debrief, deprogram and decontaminate before posting on FR!

Good one!!

True story: I write a column for my home town newspaper (75% voted for Obama in 2012).I take a lot of heat here for my positions. The guy at the local lunch spot I frequent knows me and my columns. One day a guy came in with the newspaper and was reading my piece. He the started cursing, yelling at the paper and directing numerous profanities at me. The clerk decided to call the cops, as this guys was out of control. As he was about to dial, the guy left.

The story made my day!!

Unfortunately the clerk did not remember which piece it was that infuriated him.

I guess you missed the part where this is satire, written by the posting FReeper.

Like you said, “LOL”
