How would you have handled this neighbor

[70 Mach 1]

we been living next to this guy over 25 yrs. I did a lot of favors in this time.
I wired his whole basement, hung ceiling fans, wired up his pool and did some light carpentry.
he paid for the materials and I just gave the time and experience
Even snow blew his driveway during a few monster storms. I changed flats for him.
got calls 11PM that the boiler is out. I get that fired up.

A few days ago my back was hurting. we had about 3" of light snow.
I text him about 10am and ask he if can send Jr over to make path from my door to the street. just a path not the whole driveway. about 35 feet.
Then put some salt down that i have in the garage.

Now Jr is 23, single, not is school, no job or GF . I was going to throw him a $20 anyway. looking at 10 minutes of easy work

he text me back and says hes sleeping and I dont want to wake him. i told him Ok it can be done later.
He text back and says he can come after dinner but wants $50.

now im pisssed but didnt text him back.

if the shoe were on the other foot ida threw my sons fat ass out of bed right then and there or done it myself to help.

This morning I caught the father in the driveway and ran over there and gave him a serious piece of my mind in not so nice English

so now Mrs 70 says im the asshole and lost a friend. i said what friend. A friend would have been there for me no questions asked.
No skin off my back. now I know where i stand with these people. never again will i lift a hand to do anything for them.

so now Im Plainview NYs newest asshole, To bad I dont feel that way.

You don’t need friends like that. Fuck that guy.

I absolutely don’t do favors for anyone that would charge me for one. You should completely ignore him and be very dickish when you can’t. Eventually he might ask you what’s wrong. Be sure to tell him, then tell him to kiss your ass and never speak to him again.

Exactly. Kids these days are spoiled. Sounds like Dad A.) didn't teach his son right and B.) doesn't respect thy neighbor. Fuck him.

PS: I think you need to add an "I" at top before time and materials - to help your story.

 

[VonBonfire]

Like father, like son.

You've been doing freebies this whole time for a guy I assume is able bodied himself? What am I missing here? Is he a cripple or something? You made yourself available to be taken advantage of by some lazy ass and now you're mad his kid is also a lazy ass? You still owe me an argument from that drunken thread the other night so get typing bruv.

While I understand your point, I have found it important the older I get not to do favors for people with expectation of anything in return. At best, you will always be mildly dissapointed.

It's amazing how easy it is to get rid of someone just "borrowing" them $20. You'll never see them again. A deal at twice the price!

I’m lucky to have good neighbors. We all leave each other alone until we need something.

One side of my place has a good dude, the other side is a guy who is a good dude but a snitch, so, not a good dude. Across the street lives a Karen and next to her is a good dude that rents. Mixed bag. Fortunately I have distance between me and them.

I think you should shit in his yard so he can find it when the snow melts

Not a bad idea but he could also try the upper tanker. You upper tank him by using his bathroom and shit in the holding tank instead of the bowl without flushing so the next time he uses it the shit chunks and brown water will just keep appearing. Learnt that from a thrasher skate magazine about thirty years ago.

I don't think I would have torn him a new one. It probably wasn't worth the effort and fell on deaf ears.

I would have waited until he asked for the next favor and said I'll do it for $100. Double that if it's after hours or on a weekend, you're on overtime now.

Though I like @Aynirar27 idea, but take it up a notch. Throw a bag of shit on his car window where it splats everywhere. Now he'll have to chisel frozen shit off his window. The wait until summer and do it again, but add to that putting Vaseline on his wipers.

Or you can just say fuck it and go nuclear by murdering his entire family while he's tied down and forced to watch. Then crush the bones in his in arms and legs to dust where the only thing that can be done is amputation. That way he has to live the rest of his life as an invalid with no one to help him.

LMAO!!! I don't think there can be a better reaction than that.

He would be calling 70Mach1 as soon as he got out the hospital for some help. Didn't you read the OP?
