Etiquette Question

[Toxick]

Do you want to make friends or do you want to be the weird hermit guy the kids tell stories about at Halloween?

Some from column A - some from column B.


I want to be a good neighbor. Just asking the etiquette. Like I said - this niceness was unexpected and new to me.

 

[Toxick]

So should Tox tie his note to a rock and throw it through their front window?

Let's not rule anything out just yet.

 

[Gilligan]

I expected nothing less, honestly.

Last time I asked advice, I got 4 pages without a single piece of helpful advice. At least this time, some good answers are peppered in there, so I'm ahead this time.

Yr welcome, of course.

 

[Kyle]

Yr welcome, of course.

And I offered my best suggestion too.

 

[Gilligan]

And I offered my best suggestion too.

Why of course you did.

At least I apologized and said I'd never do it again.

It was noted - and as I said, I'm not ruling anything out.

That wasn't shade I was throwing.


Just an observation.

 

[Toxick]

turned it in to an AirBnB and all the fun is gone.

You didn't just say that.


I'm sure the renters will be an endless source of fun and adventure.

The last time I rented a B&B ....



...Well, let's just say that 2 farm animals, a spatula and a vice-squad were involved, including helicopter.

Ha...so you and Kyle must be related, right?

Make sure you use blue masking tape so it doesn't mess up the door paint..

We had one particularly large and noisy group stay there last summer. What killed me, though...they had an immense array of food brought in. Apparently didn't want to cook for themselves. Big trays of seafood, meat platters, cheeses..on an on. We let the neighbor's cleaning crew use our large dumpster and the Monday after the crowd left our dumpster was half full of half-eaten high-end food platters.

So, SGI get a bonus in food that Monday?

There's an art to being friendly without being friends

Ha...I wondered why he was late that morning...and I heard the lids on the dumpster open and close.
There must have been a quart of shrimp alone...

That's just like ceviche from a truck.

I might - that's why I was asking what the etiquette was. I feel weird doing that.
I'm not shy, and I like meeting people... but to just cold-knock on someone's door. It feels too forward somehow.

But hey - they initiated the interaction I guess.

I'm just wondering what - if anything - is expected. Should I return the gesture by bringing treats myself?

It's really NOT necessary, nor do they expect it most likely. However, if you wanted to bring them a unique gift of food or drink, for example, that might be nice. Not sure whereabouts you live, but maybe a special wine from a winery nearby, a local honey, cheeses, or something like thatis always nice.

Maybe he lives where a nice fat blunt and a bumper of Colt 45 would be a better choice for gifting...

Tie a bow on a bottle of Knotty Head.

So with four pages of experience you knew what you would get from us. You know what they say about the definition of crazy...
