(15,613 posts)in Texas, when we lived there. When they moved in, my husband went over to introduce himself and the man asked him where we go to church. My husband answered we don't, and that's the last time he ever spoke to or even looked at any of us. We thought it was funny most of the time, but it was very sad in one way. The wife was very nice, always smiled and waved at us - unless her husband was there with her. Then she would studiously ignore us the same way he did.
He was a jerk in other ways. He used to pile his tree and shrub trimmings and his trash on pickup day in the street instead of at the edge of his yard, because he didn't want them to mess up his precious lawn. They would then be a hazard for drivers, especially after dark. I called the city on him every time and public works would come remove the debris from the street. Eventually they ticketed him and he stopped doing it.
