Some neighbors can be a pain in the neck. here we are trying to lessen our electric bill and here comes a teen neighbor friend and her mom who frequents our home to call on the phone and/or use the internet FOR HOURS!
The mom comes in unannounced, goes to our bedroom where the phone is and asks to use the phone. There she laughs and talks like it's her home. The longest is over an hour and I have to make an excuse to use the phone so she would go home.
Then comes her daughter who will shoo one of my sons (I have three) out of their pcs just so she could "do her research" for school work. She takes 3-4 hours per day! (Research includes Facebooking???) On third day, I told my sons to tell her that they are using the computer.
After a month, she comes again, bringing her own laptop, and woke up my son so she could connect to the wifi, while plugged into our own electricity, for 5 1/2 hours!
Unable to control my patience, though in good words still, I told her that we are saving on electricity so if she can ask her dad to have internet installed in their own home as it is not a necessity. My sons are so shy to turn her down, I had to tell her myself.
I don't know if she told her mom. But we are not millionaires. She couldn't take any hint, so I just had to tell her straight.
Was I rude? Hmmmmm....
