I bought my first condo. I thought my neighbor was just an OCD loser. I have now learned (by way of discovering his box of propoganda in the storage area) he is a wackadoodle right wing extremist. Read: Timothy McVeigh. Ask me anything about my experiences with my neighbor. ---

Is he rude or loud? I wouldn’t mind living next door to Timothy McVeigh if he was quiet. ---

Heh - after owning a house for around nine years, I can see myself being interviewed; “He killed 10 people? Well, he was quiet, he never had parties or parked in front of our house, and he always mowed his lawn and shovelled his walk. He wasn’t _all_ bad.” ---

He does data entry. And runs the local Republican committee in town. He carries his lunch in a cooler and his gym clothes in a bowling bag. He lives upstairs and complained to my neighbors across from me about their tv noise: “oh this won’t do” (who talks like this?) He sits in his car in the parking area with his cd’s cranked about “the lord punishing the wonton woman!” I felt like going out and saying “just tell me to my face, asshole.” ---

So far, all you’ve given us is a Republican who dislikes your passion for Chinese food so strongly that he communicates passive-aggressively through religious music. That’s not a neighbour from Hell. That’s not even a neighbour from Heck. More like a neighbour from Kansas. in case it’s not obvious: the jokes are that “wanton” isn’t spelled “won-ton” ---

I wanted to make the wonton joke… > [@Cat\_Whisperer](#): > > Heh - after owning a house for around nine years, I can see myself being interviewed; “He killed 10 people? Well, he was quiet, he never had parties or parked in front of our house, and he always mowed his lawn and shovelled his walk.

What do you have against us losers with OCD? What literature does he have? Names etc., so we can judge how crazy. ---

I meant wanton. Hussy like. Spellcheck fail. Well, he has an ample supply of literature from the John Birch society. At 11:45 pm on October 14, he knocked on my door and told me “you have 15 minutes to remove your air conditioners per association regulations that all units are removed by October 15.” ---
