This could have been her way of trying to make ammends with you. How would "screwing with her" solve the problem you have with her disturbing your peace? :confused: I think it could make matters worse.

I really think....
 
that this troublesome neighbor has an AGENDA....

Everything she does, is creating a REACTION in people.

Everytime you REACT you reinforce the behavior.

IGNORE, is what needs to be done here.

There are ACTORS and REACTORS in our psychological world.

If you are being manipulated into reacting.... you lose...she is the one holding the cards for HER agenda.

It is very human to want to get even, but doing so in some circumstances is a very bad idea.

The screams, the theft of the print, the public behavior in the street... are all actions that the tenants are reacting to.

I just said I "Feel" like screwing with her. That doesn't MEAN I will actually DO anything. I am just finding this situation kind of humerous. ;) I probably wouldn't DO anything to complicate things. I don't have to. Some people make a lot of commotion over nothing anyway. I don't NEED the added trouble of intentionally contributing to more of it.

I'll just Watch what happens next. I really don't have to DO anything.

Next to the cops coming into my house last night, this thread is the most fascinating thing I have ever read.

This person sound completely out of touch with reality.

Sadly, I have seen this in the workplace... I won't go into details here, but it is not "new" to me.

When I first encountered this type of behavior I was surprised, but I am no longer.... it is a form of intimidation and manipulation. When in the workplace it is to destroy productivity. It is especially heinous when medications that can KILL someone or make them sick are involved. The screaming also was employed...anything to startle and upset a coworker.

In a residential setting, it must have another motive.

That is why I suggest caution.

I too have seen this all too often since I moved to Central U.S. All I can say about anything BEFORE this is just White bread. ;) I guess IF I grew up with this it wouldn't bother me like it has. I've been here 20 years and sometimes the things they do STILL upset me, it's MEANT to. Some "Ilk" just CRAVE attention.

MelodyL 06-20-2008 05:02 PM

People who feel the need to "manipulate" their surroundings must have some kind of personality disorder, don't you think???

Who are "they?" Why is this woman's race a factor? I've seen people of all colors crave attention - it's not specific to a certain race. What is it about black people that upsets you?

WTF?

WHOA!:confused::confused::confused:

Where did that come from???? Did you mean a specific heritage/race, Wiix??? Use of the term "white bread" in my experience means only that things were bland. Am I just a Pollyanna??
