Yes indeed, it's genetic!
Sorry, Orange Blossom, I couldn't resist! I'd love to give you a considered answer but I'm too whacko from my own button being pushed, punched, zapped - yet again - by my across the street neighbor. Grrrrrr.
He always says things in such a nice, syrupy, sweet voice, but the message is always about whatever he doesn't like. Here's a list of some of the things he has said to us in a 5 year period.
- When are you going to mow your yard? (I had just had surgery)
- Why don't you hire my landscaper?
- Why don't you get a new car?
- When are you going to buy a new car?
- Looks like you need a muffler.
- Why don't get your car washed and polished?
- When are you going to paint your house?
- Have you ever thought about moving?
- You driveway looks better when you rake it.
- Why don't you use a blower? (I was using a broom)
- Why don't you just go buy some plants? (I was dividing iris!)
- and yesterday...How long are you going to park your car in front of my house? (it's a public street for cripes sake and that's the direction it's headed!)
Pompous a-hole.
Thanks, I feel better!!!
