I am a dick and can be sarcastic on the board cause I dont have to live next to you!
On the other hand, this guy has no self worth or pride. For God sake, there are trees growing out of his gutters. And I live in an older yet nice neighborhood.
I understand that people are who they are, but when someone older than I can't get it, I just withdraw and bite my tongue. I have said to him in the past regarding the condition of his lawn and yard, yet, still does not sink in. The guy ripped up ALL of his shrubs and landscape because he said it was too much work.
Just a lazy [censored] who wants to blow his money on everything other than his house and to alleviate any investment, he borrows my [censored].
Telling him no or making an excuse is a dick move, explaining why (blows his money on booze) rectifies my position.
Or I can just rent the stuff out to him...1/2 of what Home Depot rents for. Just bites my [censored] that I loan a clean pressure washer and I get it back empty and dirty when I loaned it with a full tank. Will $2 in gas kill me? No, it's the principle.
