My dear neighbor, I just wanted to write to let me know how 'appreciative' I am for you pointing out how uncourteous we are. I mean, being naive like myself, I would have NEVER known that having a car parked in front of my house at times was 'un-neighborly', as you called it.
Silly me...I thought being uncourteous was avoiding eye contact and ignoring waves of your neighbors who have lived close to you for almost two years. Who would have thought that the COURTEOUS thing to do would be to approach a neighbor after 2 years, without introducing yourself, and tell them what they are doing wrong?
I also didn't know that the neighborly thing to do was to stalk the make and model of cars and even the race of the car's owners who were visiting. I apologize for having a friend over ONCE a week to go walking with me in my neighborhood. How rude of me to want to be healthier.
I also apologize for thinking that since we BOUGHT this house, it was ours. I should have known that YOU, being the courteous, helpful neighbor that you are, know what's best for me and my family.
I'm also VERY SORRY that you spoke to my husband, and not me. I would have wanted to express my thanks to you firsthand.
And please understand, that WHEN there is a car that happens to look a LOT like mine parked in front of MY house, it surely was an accident.
Sincerely,
Naomi (yes, that's my name. Sorry, I would have used yours, but you haven't introduced yourself.)
P.S. I should also apologize for doing a free photo shoot for my neighbor who just had a baby. Oh, and also for making her homemade rolls and dinner. That must have been very un-neighborly of me. Don't worry, I'll never make that rude mistake with you.
P.P.S. I can't WAIT to meet you. Maybe this time I can show you just how COURTEOUS I can be.

I wish my neighbors were that courteous! ...or not! I hate that for you guys... nobody needs to deal with that!cocent
Hahaha....wow! What is up with the neighbors lately? My sister's neighbor put bleach in her vegetable garden, among other things, to "thank" her for having cars parked in front of her own house. ?????? What is wrong with people?
I will say, though, I love your rendition of the events...hilarious!
Jerk! I'm so sorry! Isn't it sad that there are so many people in the world that are so unhappy that they want to make others unhappy too? You guys are too nice for that!!

That truly sucks! I am sorry you ended up with neighbors like that!!!
Hideous people.
