for example... this lady in our neighborhood (president of our home owners' association).
i don't understand why every time she talks to people about problems, she always seemed to be super pissed with a tone of belittling you all the time.
a week ago my parents' friend came to drop off the dog. he parked his car outside of our garage for just a few minutes, this lady came ringing our doorbell and chewing me off about the car parked outside of our garage. i mean, what was i to do??? the guy was just there for like 5 minutes!!!
and this afternoon we discovered that the pipe outside of our house was leaking so i called the plumbing service. the man came around 5:30pm (which i didn't think anybody would come out this late in the day... things kinda get quiet after 4/5ish). he's pretty friendly and looked at the leak and was waiting for his supervisor to come to give us a quote of how much it would cost to fix the problem. so i just chit chat a bit with the man. but eventually i decided to just come back in and wait... when i was sitting inside the home, i overheard this lady's sharp voice talking to the man outside.
woman: "what are you doing here?"
plumber: "trying to fix the leaking pipe.. waiting for my supervisor to come..."
woman: "(blabber something about the landscape and plants)... you know this is not their property but the community's property... (blabber something more...) if this is what they decide to do to fix this, it's their decision and they've got to take care of everything (meaning the cost to fix the landscape and plants and such..)"
so as the supervisor came, the plumber took me aside and told me about the conversation and said.. "she was a b*tch. pardon my french"
sigh... why can't people just be nice?
and now we are spending a bomb to fix the leaking pipe outside of our house...
