Entangled Thoughts [Neighbors & Such]

in FreeCompliments2 months ago

It's a bright Thursday, yay!

We have a neighbor across the street some 100 meters from the yard and they have been burning trash (probably plastic and stuff) yesterday afternoon. The smell was unbearable (similar to a burning tire) we had to shut all the windows and doors because the smoke and the bad smell were coming into our side, creeping into our little abode.


It was not the first time they did such and they seemed unbothered by the stink of what they were burning. It made me wonder how they take it since the pit is just a few feet from their front door. The husband was pissed he nearly stormed into their yard and killed the fire himself because I was already complaining of a nasty headache, lol!

"I think this is not the ideal place we would love to stay for a long time and permanently retire at," my mind drifted somewhere while conversing with the hubby. He looked at me with a question painted over his face, maybe thinking it was all because of the neighbor down the road.

"How sad it would be to die in here. We don't have any relatives around and our closest neighbors are utterly inconsiderate." I said half-jokingly. The truth suddenly came to me and I could not help blurting it out. "Well, I was thinking about that too," the husband agreed. "Where do you see us then?" he asked.

"DD has its charms but not enough to keep me for life. The Lil Kingdom would be nice too but like here, our loved ones are a bit far away. My heart speaks of our first house," I replied, picturing the all-glass-walled extension I've been building (in my mind) for quite some time now. It's where I see us, spending our golden years together.

"Let's cross the bridge when we get there..." the husband's voice disrupted my thoughts after a while. He knew of my desire for an extension and agreed to it, but he was unaware the budget was ready. I already asked Dad's permission for more space and he said yes, even giving some suggestions on maximizing the rooftop for future use.

With my parents already in their golden years - Mom's physical disabilities after suffering from strokes and Dad's recent surgery (and some further procedures expected), the thought of going back home to our first place is becoming an ideal option.

I'm quite torn...

I know exactly how it feels like to live next to an inconsiderate neighbor because I have one as well. Every time something happens, it makes me long for the peace of being back home with my family. I hope we both get to enjoy that quiet life soon.

Sorry to hear. It's not funny when we are inconvenienced due to our neighbors but yes, hoping things will change soon.

I remember what my Dad used to tell me, "Man is the cause of another's problem". Most of the discomfort we encounter during our daily lives is as a result of fellow man's actions.
I'm happy you guys are already on a plan to make life better. All I hope and pray for is that your parents live and see their days.
Thanks for sharing friend.

Your Dad is right. Thinking about it, I hope we are not causing any inconvenience to our neighbors, lol!

Thank you for your wishes for my parents. I appreciate it a lot.

It's so unfortunate you have to put up with such inconsiderate behavior by your neighbors at your present abode. I believe you will find ways to work things out. Maybe return to your previous home. I'm sure before your golden years arrive you will have a nice place to spend it together. I pray the health of your parents will improve, especially your dad. Thanks for writing and have a nice day.

It is indeed. We are thinking about letting them know about the inconvenience we are experiencing and hope they will make adjustments and not burn their trash anymore. Returning to our other homes is on the plans but not soon as we just moved and still need to supervise some work being done here. Thank you for your good wishes and prayers. I appreciate you :)

Feeling bad to hear the action of your neighbor. It's very irritating and I think staying in such a place for a long time is not good.

Yeah. We are hoping they won't do it anymore because it's unhealthy.

I thought it was already prohibited sis. Yung pagsusunog Ng plastic at basura. Go back to where your hearts belong sis someday.♥️

It was but here, they seem to be lax. Kainis din haha. Sakit sa ilong at ulo yung amoy.

When there are problems in daily life, then a person starts living in mental tension, so it is better to live in such a place where there are good neighbors.

That's true. It's not good when neighbors make us unhappy, hehe :)

Burning plastic?

Like a campfire or something?😂

You don't know how ironic it is for me to ask but can't you just call the authorities for pollution or something?😂

And it's also ironic that we don't know their laws regarding burning trash in this town, lol!

😂😂😂😂😂

Inconsiderate neighbours could be a pain in the neck and it's so unfortunate that things have gone awry just when you got here.

Haha yeah, they make our blood pressure rise, !LOL

Hoping things improve though.

That's a nasty behaviour, the smell of plastic burning can make me throw up. Please consider talking to them about it and see if things improve around there.

It’s sad that some people don’t care about others
That’s so wrong because they never cared that the smoke could affect you people

Unfortunately, we live close to some people who are like that 😂

Thanks, !LADY
