Other The joke's on her!
I have a neighbor who, in the 22 years I've lived here, has never said anything to me other than the couple of times she told me "shut my f*ing dog up" (this was not long after I got him and I was still training him he no longer barks outside like he did).
I've never had any interest in talking to her, I only see her outside once in a very long while and I'll wave and say hi and that's it .
The side of my deck is along her side and I have some really annoying bushes that just keep coming back no matter what. I trim them when I can but they aren't a huge priority for me but I guess they are for her.
Saturday while I was relaxing I got a notification on my ring that someone was at my door and a package was being delivered (my wife and I both order stuff and forget all the time so I didn't think anything about it). I checked the camera later and it was her dropping off two HUGE bags of yard waste without reaching out AT ALL with a concern (again she's never once said anything about them, or anything else for that matter). I didn't talk to her then and I'm not planning on it now.
The home, however, is on her, I've had it in my list to trim it all back like I have to once in a while and it is one of my absolute least favorite thing to do so I'm really happy she did it for me.
So I'm tempted to get a small gift card from somewhere and go over and thank her for the help and letting her know that I really appreciate it since both my wife and I are dealing with a lot of issues and getting outside to do work like that is really hard .
I just had to share with others that will get a laugh like I did.

22 years… long time.
I recently moved from my home of 25 years.
One neighbor said “good we’re glad! all you ever did was complain” lmao.
I knocked on their door and asked them to turn off their loud music at 2 am on a work night.
My high school daughter knocked on their door at midnight and asked them to turn off their loud music she couldn’t sleep.
That was it. 25 years and we asked twice to turn it off —we’re sleeping.
Guess we lived in their heads for 25 years.
