Mine and Not Yours.

Why do these threads always get personal? Same with the Rural Driving thread.

Not sure, but didn’t it start off personal? Not like it was a mechanical -tractor type post. But I don’t think there was any disrespect intended.

Thanks Moss.

No, it was a rural living neighbor rant.

Interesting thread... Original post is something I wouldn't get excited about but not everyone has the same experiences in life that lead them to be the way they are. Also it depends on where you live. In some areas this is totally acceptable like where I live and in other areas not a chance.

Yep. Here the personality of driver's changes depending on time of day. I understand that. I try to stay out of the way of those with a "mission", getting to work, doing their work, etc.

I go to town midday. Lot less stress on the roadways. Evidently a lot of other residents of my community do the same. I may follow a poker 5 or 6 miles simply because neither of us are trying to be somewhere.

Perhaps the neighbor thought you had friends over taking down a tree and came to help, then realized that they were paid professionals.

This is a tough crowd to play to.

Nope, nope, and nope.

The tree crew was here because we hired them not the neighbor across the street.
He was carrying, forgot to mention this, a chainsaw so we thought at first he was another worker.
I'm not a social bug as some are but then I'm not anti-social either.
In the brief conversation we had, rather garbled, he said something about having worked as part of this crew in the past.
I want to be friendly, I want to be neighborly. But that was a poor start on his part.
And if you are saying you don't mind people, neighbors or not, just wandering onto your property to treat it like it's their privilege to do so I cry BS, you are lying.

So the guy that used to work with this crew, came over with his chainsaw to help out for no cost, and that is concerning to you? Sounds neighborly to me.

We got a new neighbor 6 months ago. Very nice house on the corner of the main road. My property and driveway borders his 4.5 acres. I wasn't home when they moved in so stopped by a few weeks later. I introduced myself, told him my name, and welcomed him to the area. He never gave me his name. I asked if he needed anything, and he said, nope... I had my tractor out one day pruning some low hanging branches when I saw him coming up the road; I waved and he didn't... Haven't seen or heard from him since. I guess he wants to be left alone. I got the message and will honor his wishes.

Ok Chuck your neighbor just popped in and then went home?

Be grateful you do not have a neighbor like Steppenwolfe.

A woman and her BF, that were just closing on a neighboring property, put a chain across the road on their easement that is on my property. I went over there to camp and saw that chain...I was miffed. I called the real estate agent and said they better get their chain down or I will cut it myself. They lived maybe 2 hours away and showed up later that night. They apologized and are now great neighbors.
Their title company figured out there was no documented easement across my property. I figured that out when I bought the place but the old timer that lived there at the time was a great neighbor so I said nothing about it. He passed away a couple years later and I wanted to buy it but his widow wanted about 2x what it was worth. She eventually realized her kids weren't interested and called me back maybe a year later wanting to know if I was interested and I said no.

You will be happier if you don't ascribe improper motives to otherwise normal behavior. I don't know if the work area was on the way to your house, or if he was just interested in some aspect of what they were doing, had questions, offered to help, or whatever - but I would not be upset by what you describe.

Over a few months of visiting my daughter I continuously noticed an older guy working really hard on a top to bottom gut and remodel. I did not know if he was the owner or a worker. I walked over and complimented him on his work ethic - saying something like you are putting all us older guys to shame as hard as you are working. We had a nice chat and then I left. I found out later he was the owner. Didn't matter.

Without reading past the first page... I see nothing wrong... Neighbor Guy comes over to say hello... how can he know which person owns the place or is site boss. So he speaks to the first person available and finds out. Friendly neighbors are and should be welcomed.

Agree. He could be missing out on a great friendship over a misunderstanding about nothing. I wouldn't be back so perhaps that was the actual point of the OPs post.

Specially if the neighbor reads tractorbynet

A Friendship is a terrible thing to waste.

You should have read past the first page. It was explained later.

I had much rather make a friend than make an enemy. I would go out of my way to be friendly to folks.

The Wife and I have been considering a move back to West Texas. 57 years in Alaska is enough, we've been thinking. Tired of the cold, darkness, exorbitant prices for everything, and lousy fruits and vegetables. We hope we would be accepted in to a new community or what's the point? We would bend over backwards to get along.

Doofy consider the Ozarks. Good weather and mostly friendly neighbors. the only ones watched closely, usually have Michaign plates
Bought a small plot of land next to our property. mostly to get the old trees for timber.
after the survey met the next-door neighbor and he had lived in a shanty type home .nineteen years and I had never met. didn't even know anyone was living in the house. Had to explain to him his underground storm cellar was not on his land but to continue to use if needed. just don't lock the door should I need to find a hidy hole if in the area.
Been 2 years now and have not seen him since.
I like quiet neighbors.

 

[Frankenkubota]

I agree.....with your wife

All I can say is I am glad Chuck isn't one of MY neighbors.
