"Don't sell it to heathens" |
That's what my neighbor told me yesterday, the first day my house went
on the market. It was a struggle, trying to decide if I should respond
the way he deserved or if I should laugh it off. He's a nice enough
goofball so I opted to ignore it by promising no devil worshipers, but
still it's awfully tedious that there are such people in the world. If,
rather than moving out I had been moving in, we would have had to
discuss it, but there's no point in correcting something like that on
your way out. *sigh* I'm so sick of people like him.

I guess, unless he offers to buy the house from you, you might as well tell
him to FO!

Do you think that it might prejudice the new neighbours before he has
even met them if you did that ? Never give an intolerant bigot any
opportunity, let him start with his new neighbour from square one.
I knew somebody who moved to live in southern England. One of
the neighbours called round to welcome him to the neighbourhood
but as soon as he realised he had a Yorkshire accent the smiles
and wecome disappeared and it was made plain that he was not
welcome. Can you credit people like this? Our newspaper delivery
'boy' happened to be a Carribean man in late middle age between
jobs with a southern accent, but as he was a nice man we soon
started giving him a friendly smile and 'good morning' when he
called. He eventually got himself a job as a welder. His religion?
No idea, not my business.

Quite justified. The neighbour was thinking about the next ten years of
having to stand the guy pints in the local. Short arms, deep pockets.
Now, if he'd had a Lancashire accent, the welcome would have been
totally different, them being known and renowned the world over for
their warmth and generosity. Especially when in the local.

Depends, what if he was from Blackburn, had a receding hairline and a

As far as I can tell I'm the only person on our block who's ever just
walked up to someone and introduced myself, so I'm not concerned he'll
ambush anyone.

That's completely bizarre. I've taken an instant dislike to people
before, but they had to actually do something. I can't imagine just
reacting to people's accents, or to any other single aspect of them.
Even annoying religious types have to have been rude before I dislike
them.

I would have told my neighbor, "Okay". Then unless a potential buyer
came to the door and said, "By the way, I'm a heathen", I'd sell.
After all, I work with Christians, (and non-Christians), who believe
in astrology, numerology, dream interpretation, alien visitations and
abductiions, yeti's, crop circles, (makes you think, doesn't it), the
Loch Ness monster, ELVIS PRESLEY IS ALIVE!, (this one believed by an
agnostic supervisor with advanced college degrees; if you don't agree,
you become his enemy for life. Sadly true). Ghosts, goblins,
poltergeists, (what are those, supernatural chickens)?
And if a buyer said he/she is a heathen, I'd sell it to them anyway.

Elvis <is> alive. I saw him and Jimmy Hoffa in a drug store in Ames,
Iowa. They were buying a rectal thermometer. This was about six years
ago, but I'll bet they're still around somewhere.

A friend of mine lived in a house that was on an odd lot. His rear bedroom
window opened onto his neighbors front door.
Said neighbor was a typical Paradise, California religious nut. When ever my
friend got a bible thumper at his door he explained he was busy, but he gut
one house over was worth talking to.
Then he would go sit in his bedroom and listen and watch the often heated
exchange.

Most of my neighbors are renters. They're the nice ones. It's the fellow
owners I dislike, which is why if I won the lottery or something, I'd be
sure to take a good ***** long time finding the most offensive qualified
buyers I could. Muaaahahahaha!
The neighbor I get along best is a 70+ woman who lives across the
street, next to the heathen hater. When I told her about his comment,
we had an interesting conversation that began with her saying, "As one
heathen to another..."

I recently allowed a co-worker to use my computer to get his web-based e-
mail. He noticed one of my "favorites" folders in IE6,
"Religion/atheism", then we had a nice discussion about the idiocy of
Christianity. Turns out he's an agnostic. I never knew that, and I've
known the guy for 15 years. You just never know...
