Neighbors had an epic fight this weekend

[gozf]

Holy smokes, guys. It was LOUD and BAD.

Background: the house next store that is not attached to ours is home to 4 adults and one 4 year old, whose name is Nevaeh.

Nevaeh's mom, her fiance and another married couple live there. The married couple seem to have some combination of mental illness and developmental disability. They're strange and markedly inappropriate in their conversation (i.e. begging for our window air conditioners -- the ones that were IN our windows, or describing in great detail how the woman's mother has gangreen "in her butt," which I'm not even sure's possible, but I don't want to research it).

"Normal" fiance and Neveah's mom get into it. They're screaming at each others. She's calling him a pussy-ass bitch and telling him to "suck a big black one." He's telling her that he don't need her fat ass no more, etc etc etc. "Special" female roommate is basically acting like the other girl's hype man, running around throwing her arms up, getting in the guy's face and ACTUALLY SAYING "OH SNAP!"

This went on for about an hour, and I finally determined that Nevaeh's father came by and new fiance got into it with him. New fiance "put his hands on his neck" but, it wasn't his fault, of course. He's dealt with things that none of them could dream of.

It was awful. It's like Jerry Springer Live is happening right there. I really hesitate to use the term "white trash," but that's what it was.

Maybe they'll get evicted? Please? All of my other neighbors are lovely.

[gozf]

I feel sorry for N., too.

And yeah, I know what you mean. I'm not a yeller or a name caller, so half of me was appalled. The other half of me, the half that loves watching Maury was like, "Oh my god, this is the best thing I've ever heard!"

Omg. On one hand,mim sorry you had to be exposed to that. On the other, it's like having a trash tv show play out right next door!

I feel sorry for Neveah, and not just for her name.

Yes. Poor kid.

[Deleted]

That's crazy. And sounds kind of like the fights our neighbor's daughter used to have with her boyfriend before they moved out.

I hate hearing about stuff like this when there are little kids stuck in the middle of it.

Is she for hire?

I'm sure. Just pay her in air conditioners and patio furniture. I'd really love it if she'd stop asking for mine every time I see her.

Does it make it better or worse that she was wearing a hot pink, bedazzled tshirt that said "Sexy Diva"? (Note: she is NOT a sexy diva.)

Better by 1000%

Was the kid home during this?

Maybe I don't want to know....

[gozf]

Yes, she was home.

But let's not dwell in the sad part. Let's talk instead about how the fiance has a really low hairline. Like, really LOW. Like, right above his eyebrows is where it starts. And he shaves it back several inches, to where a new hairline would be, except he gets 5:00 shadow.

[lkoenig]

ugh, sounds like it was entertaining and horrible all at once

They need a reality show.

EW, 5 o'clock hairline! I'm trying to imagine what this would look like and wow.

[karmasabiotch]

Call Child Protective Services.

[gozf]

They're always trying to bum smokes off of Thor. At first, he'd oblige, but now it's every day, and he just flat out says no.

[Mrs.Beagle]

When can I come visit?

Any time! We can sit outside and eavesdrop!

Saturday night was a happy time. They were just drunkenly singing along to some country music at the top of their lungs. That was less entertaining.

[mamasaurus]

Note to self: when it comes time to move, screen neighborhoods based on whether there is a child whose parents named her Nevaeh or whether anyone sports a 5:00 hairline.

[blueshirt2003]

I laughed at the "oh snap!" comment.

I hope the little girl doesn't live in that environment for too much longer. Hopefully the parents move out and get her away from the mess.

[speckledfrog]

Why didn't you call the cops?

Seriously? It was loud but not physical, and it was the first time I've heard it. I'm not going to call the cops the first time I hear people yell at each other.

LOfL.

I hope CPS gets involved if this is a continual problem. A kid shouldn't be involved in stuff like that. Unfortuanately it's not CPS worthy for removeableness unless there are multiple calls and multiple incidents but it can happen. Hopefully her dad's house is a haven and not another shitstorm since it sounds like it was her mom and mom's fiance that were the ones getting into it.

On to happier stuff...5:00 hairline is the stuff that makes me giggle like a little schoolgirl.

[speckledfrog]

I wouldn't have been able to stand the screaming. My heart would have been pounding and my stomach in knots. And for an hour! It wouldn't have been entertaining to me in the least.

Well, congratulations on being a better person than me. Rest assured, I'll rot in hell. Probably next door to these folks for all eternity.

[speckledfrog]

I didn't say I was a better person. I was saying why I would have wanted to call. You didn't feel the same way I did. No need to get pissy.

ok

[speckledfrog]

Let me try again - It's hard to read tone on here. I didn't mean to imply that I was better. I was just trying to express how icky I feel when people fight. I would have wanted it to end immediately and would have called the cops. If you didn't feel the situation was that bad then I can see why you didn't.

[gozf]

Lol, it's fine! It IS hard to read tone, and I appreciate your explanation. I probably wasn't being as pissy as I sounded. I like to overstate things, because I think it's hilarious, which is what happened there.

I know I'm not a terrible person, and I was pretty sure you did, too.
Cool?

Your baby is cute.

I'm not just saying that b/c I feel like I have to say something nice. I've been meaning to say it for a while now. That's a really cute baby that you have.
