I cannot sleep....

[Hepburn]

...and this has been pissing me off ~~ so I will off load:

There is a mega bigoted female who lives across the street from me and she fakes being ill to get people to do things for her ... FREE. There is a neighbor ~~ Hispanic ~~ and I see this neighbor go over to the bigot's house almost every morning and she picks up the mail, waters the plants, walks the dog, delogs the lawn from the dog logs, etc. Well, when the Hispanic neighbor leaves, the bigot gets spiffed up and goes to lunch with her pals ~~ all white and just as bigotted.

I found out the nice Hispanic lady ~~ from Mexico ~~ has been doing these chores for free because she thinks the bigot is really, really ill. The bigot behind the back of the Hispanic lady ~~ so I have been told ~~ makes a lot of nasty remarks about Mexicans and other ethnicities and races. And the anti-Mexican remarks are specific to the neighbor that helps her.

This just angers me to the max and I would love to out the POS bigot...but I don't think that the Hispanic lady would believe me. So...I think I will leave it alone ~~ and just blow off some steam here.

:mad:

That POS really, really angers me and the way she is using the nice lady and then talks sooooooo freaking bad about her.

1. Ah, it's so common. My experience on this planet has shown me

that there are more of these things than not.
No, the lady wouldn't believe you.
Are there not 1000 such frustrations in life? Or is it 1 million?

2. Well...that sucks...

I wouldn't say anything to the woman who helps out, though. It's her mission...

3. Good advice. Do not say anything to the lady that helps out.

I have had experience in that regard. I said something, and the first thing they did was go to the person and tell him what I said.
It worked out ok, as the guy turned out to be a really nice guy, but it could have been unpleasant.

6. Expose this lady's sham and tell the hispanic neighbor she's being screwed by a bigot.

8. I checked in to this thread cause I have trouble sleeping tonight

Not sure why i'm feeling so..spiritual.. today..
I think the Mexican do gooder is burning up negative karma by doing good things out of compassion.
I think the bigot could be a user of people, a bigot, and a person of potential tremendous growth..

Perhaps there will be a learning / teaching moment.
(the Mexican sprains her leg. Bigot checks in on her (perhaps cause chores are not done), notices the Mexican is catholic (Christian!). Perhaps bigot learns something about mankind or his Mexican neighbor.

Ya never know..

7. thanks for blowing steam off here..

let karma do its thing in your neighborhood..
sounds a little like driving miss daisy..
could turn out that the bigot can be reached, if the Good Lord wills..

9. This would bother me too.

I might 'innocently' take the opportunity to compliment the Mexican helper on her work, say that I've been thinking about looking for a reliable helper and ask what she charges. Then go from there. You wouldn't even have to mention the bigotry part - just that your neighbor is taking advantage of a kind soul.

10. you should allow the bigoted neighbor to open up to you,,,

when she spouts out with her bigoted crap then you will be justified in saying something to her. You have a chance to be a positive force in your neighborhood.
