Do you have a neighbor who keeps borrowing things from you?!

haha...simone, i always appear to be funny on you? hehe but yeah i know i am...and not only that...aside from my eyes nbeing wide open...you will also see my eyebrows raising so high! haha and my hair becomes even more curly out of too much irritation! hahaha really? such a big family! what kind of place are you living? a subdivision? coz in our place, its just kinda normal borrowing something from each other coz houses are really close to each other...(sometimes even 'dingding lang ang pagitan') and most of our neighbors back then are also relatives... anyway, i think its really not a good practice to be that dependent to our neighbors... okay, there's nothing wrong in helping but when its being too much... or maybe your family is just too kind and pity them... still i can't believe that those kind exists...too much!

hahahaha your reaction is so funny. i can imagine your eyes wide open. throw it on their face while the iron is still hot. Actually, there are lot of stuff they borrowed, too many to mention.hehehehe As i observed there are more than 4 family living in that house, too crowded. And only few of the members have a regular job. They are too dependent to their neighbors. It's okay to borrow stuff but not the extent that they return it with damage and often denied that they borrowed hmmmm... they often claim our kitchen utensils. here's a thing, they also borrowed our toilet pump!yucks!!! By the way i like your avatar! cool!

hehehehe you're so so so funny! you're kwela like my partner's private nurse. A happy person. We're living in a village but not as exclusive as before.(frown)i miss the life we have before. you know what i hate this place, i hate the environment, i hate everything here! this place is so borrowing. It's okay to borrow but not to the extend they're going to borrow everything and being dependent to others. They really exist,kath!(i hope i mentioned the right name) and guess what, they are family of big mouth. By the way how are you?

Show your mom this thread. Most people here agree that they are using and abusing her kindness. They have their own business which tells me that they are not destitute. they use your refrig for their food which tells me that they are not without food and yet they borrow your food???? Washing and drying clothes at your place does run up the electric bill quite a bit. I know because at times my daughters come over and borrow mine. Borrowing her clothes and then adjusting them to fit themselves is not just using her. It is so disrespectful that I can't think of the right words to describe it. She must get agitated with all of this. What next? Is she going to let them into her bank account? They are pretty much having her support them and she is going right along with it and letting it happen. These types of people just prey on people like your mom that don't have the gumption to say "no". As for what they say about you when you do say no.......who cares?? Really ....let them talk. Anyone that matters is not going to listen to them. If I cared about what people said about me then I'd be more embarrassed for them to discover that I'm letting people like this walk all over me. She's really ok with giving to them like this??? It doesn't bother her to tell you that you can't eat because she fed them???

Hi, there. yeah! she is also responsible why all these things happening. I keep telling her that they are abusing her kindness. What i really hate most is when they got nothing from us they start making up stories. I told my mom that everything has a limitation and she should know that. She never listen to me. she got me wrong, as always.(frown)This is one one things we argued. There's now a gap between us because of this pesky neighbors!

im right with you on this my neighbors wont stop either ,so i will stop them but the parent are the stupid ones they send the kids over to get stuff all the time and it is bad so i may hurt someones feelings but i has to be done. i really dont mind helping the ones that are trying to help them selfs.but the others can hang it up.

If they are not listen, my friend. Just says a words that have a little peppery to touch their ego. That kind of neighbor should not be tolerated because it ruin the relationship of the community...

HI, there. nice to see you again. Thank you for dropping by. I don't think they will listen. I recently found out that their former neighbor complaint because they borrowed air bed and for more than 2 years they haven't return it. they are like really born being leech!

Hello, xannebell! i guess there are people who doesn't what shame is. It's already in their blood! Their face are thicker than the callus on their feet. If you are in our situation you probably die young.hahahhahah Oh, God! The nerve! Thanks for commenting. Have a great day!

hello, again. Nope. they are totally strangers when they start borrowing things from us. Actually it's my first time to encountered people like this. they don't really know the word "shame". yeah! i know. its my mom fault why they keep abusing us. I wished we live in other street.lol This neighbor is a leech to our community. They are too dependent in their surroundings.

My mom doesn't know how to say "NO" to them. I talked to my mom several times and complained but she keeps tolerating them. I also an e-mail my dad regarding our situation. I just hope things would change as soon as possible.

Its so nice to have foreign neighbors. we used to live in a place so opposite in our current situation. Well, i guess i have to learn and love my neighbors though there are shameless. i just hope this coming new year God will bless them.

Hmmm... let me clear... my mom is the one who keeps tolerating our neighbors. last night another neighbor came to borrow my headset for she has no headset to use to converse with her chat mate. When I refuse my mom to lend my unit she frown and walked away. I don't want other person to use my headset because its unhygienic. Its a personal thing.

They really were. It's innate to them. They are not only shameless but also when they talk they keep shouting even if the the person is next to him/her. I hate this family so much. they have everything, everything about negative. Shame on them! TSk!

Hi, Barbara. my neigbor make sure that they say it directly to my mom or i'm not around because they know that my mom wont say no. They are also aware that i get pissed off. I decline them several times so they never dare asked me again a favor.

hahaha my neighbors are immune to that. they already have our electric fan, though it's damage but they ask for it. I guess there are people who doesn't know the word "shame". Well, i just hope they survive on that kind of attitude. Thank you for participating anniege.
