I decided to take advantage of the "town-wide" yard sale. I was moving stuff in the garage, and fell. I thought I had just bruised myself, but when I stood up, there was a gash down to the bone, bleeding profusely. My neighbor took me to the ER, and I had 7 stitches. Still, wanting to complete the yard sale goal, I got up at 3 a.m. in the dark and hauled out all the stuff. I expected "throngs" of people, but there was just a dribble, and I made about $175. The sale was advertised by the town as from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. I was so tired, and so few people were coming by, I was taking intermittent naps on the sofa. The time of 2 p.m. passed and I was thereafter outside at 2:30 moving stuff to my outbuilding. My MEAN neighbor came out several times to observe me. A nice mixed race couple came by at 3 p.m. while I was moving stuff, and they actually bought several major things from me. My MEAN neighbor came out on her porch...I'm serious!...and yelled at us....several times..."You're a lawbreaker, *****, the sale ended at 2!" The nice couple looked at me and asked , "what the??" I have to add, nobody abides by the 2 p.m. closure. Some people leave things out till evening! The wife of the couple, who was a big strapping woman with tattoos, looked at me and said..."That's harassment! I'd be over there beating the crap out of her!"
After the couple left, I called my nice neighbors to help me move the rest of the stuff to my outbuilding.
I'm afraid of my mean neighbor. She's unbalanced.
