Hmmm…my grandpa used to bring home stuff from the dump like that for free.

Your negotiation skills need honing, I think…but I can appreciate the goal of the bar mirror. I hope you get it after all you’ve been through.

delurking to point out the obvious! he’s bribing/desensitizing you for when he rolls out those really stinky 50 gallon drums in the middle of the night … the ones with arms sticking out …

Our neighbors are moving and every weekend they have a junk sale. It’s all the same junk going in their garage and then coming back out. I’ve never seen anyone over there looking at it, besides me.

First of all, no one wants your junk and second of all, no one wants your junk when it’s 117 degrees.

As an aside, I have a feeling that when these people finally move, they are going to leave their cat behind and then what am I going to do?

And just so you know, these weren’t little delicate sniffs….no, it was like that scene in Scarface where what’s-his-name sticks his face in a big bowl of blow.

THAT kind of sniff.

I don’t know why, but this post reminded me of the time I saw my mailman (not my current mailman) sniffing packages of Pampers in a far corner of the Port Covington WalMart. I guess because it was next to a large display of discounted baby gates (which were probably on a recall list, hence the “deep discount”). But anyway, yeah — there he was in his USPS uniform, sniffing away.

As the mother of an infant, I complained at the post office and he left on an “early retirement” because of a “back injury”. Hm. Must be hard work…being pervy at the freakin WalMart.

I wish your neighbor would clean out some of the rooms in my mom’s house. I’m thinking she may have 5 or 6 bar mirrors back in some of those rooms.

Our neighbors clean out their garage on a regular basis (they’ve been trying to sell their shitty house since we moved in). Shit comes out of that garage like it’s a garage-sized clown car. Pool tables, mattresses, sets of weights, more pool tables, half cars… nothing good.

Desk Job beat me to the Arachnophobia comment. I watched that movie once. I tried to watch it again and could’t stomach it. I don’t know how I made it through the first time.

I have so much crap in my garage including the majority of a ‘67 chevy nova - I keep threatening to give it away along with the guy who owns it.

Nice arachnophobia reference.
I think Mokie was looking for a babygate.

Ya know….if you actually helped him clear out the shed, you might get that beer mirror sooner. Just a thought.

Last summer my neighbor cleaned out his shed. Turns out he was hiding bodies in there.

I feel your pain you poor bastard. If only my wife was as adept at cock-blocking philanthropic neighbors as yours is.

You suggest that danielle get a baby gate only to have own mysteriously show up on your porch? Oh, your neighbor gave it to you? Riiiiight. Does this have anything to do with why you’re banned from Babies R’ Us?

i have this affliction, too. u should see my basement. i have a lifetime’s supply of nails and screws inherited from the previous owner of the house, who likewise couldn’t throw anything potentially useful away, but luckily for me was moving to a smaller place.

hey, weren’t u just telling me i needed a baby gate for gizmo, to keep the devil cat away? but u might need to cage babies on ur porch if there are zombie babies. sorry, just watched shaun of the dead.

Take the Lead is an awesome movie. It has lots of Antonio Banderas. And Antonio is HOTT. Actually, except for the eye candy it’s a totally lame move.
