No, no...you had every right to feel like crap. I was being flippant.
It's easy for me to (unfortunately) assume your neighbor meant "bipolar" as in "crazy" not as in the clinical term "bipolar disorder."
Yes, it's frustrating and demeaning. I've gotten older and crankier; I'll tend to ask someone "Do you mean she truly has bipolar disorder?" And look them straight in the face.
If the neighbor is put on the spot and tongue-tied I'd let her squirm for a bit.
But then I've been angry for 3 days.
