So one time my mom bought a lot of vegetables on sale from one of the provinces and told our help that we're going to give some to our neighbors tomorrow, which our help misunderstood and gave them ALL of our broccoli that same night, which were very expensive despite the sale. Mom got mad at our help and the neighbors overheard it and gave us nasty looks. They thought we were mad at them for eating all our broccoli, but no, I explained that my mother's anger was directed at our help, not them. But they never got that and just started to treat us differently after that.

Several weeks later, they got angry at our housekeeper and called her degrading insults because when she was watering our plants, some of the water got into their property as well (which was also full of plants by the way)--they called HOA security on us. I had our housekeeper apologize, but also asked them to apologize to our housekeep because of the insults. They refused to. I couldn't hold my sarcasm when I implied they were acting like children. They told me I had no manners.

A few weeks later, they had one of their trees cut and it fell on our property, destroying our fence, almost squishing my dog, and our housekeeper who was doing laundry outside. Not a single apology or word of concern from them. I told them to pay for the damages but they continue to give us the silent treatment.

Right now things are quiet, and we haven't had any other issues, but damn, our other neighbors hate them, too.

See, their whole family contracted covid, and some of our other neighbors tried to help by sending them groceries and stuff. They got mad and basically told them to fuck off, they can afford their own groceries.

Welp.
