- 0:02Speaker 1: And if you've ever left a note on somebody's car,
- 0:04Speaker 1: whether it be an angry one or angry one, really
- 0:11Speaker 1: angry one, most people don't leave polite messages in that
- 0:14Speaker 1: type of situation, unless you count the woman we call today.
- 0:18Speaker 1: She anonymously left what she thought was a nice note
- 0:22Speaker 1: to somebody in her neighborhood suggesting they re park their
- 0:25Speaker 1: car because the back end of it was sticking out
- 0:29Speaker 1: into traffic. So she was just trying to be helpful.
- 0:33Speaker 1: You know who did see it that way? The most
- 0:35Speaker 1: passive aggressive neighbor you'll ever meet. His name is Jerry,
- 0:40Speaker 1: and he's in your phones out right now. Well, Heidi,

- 0:55Speaker 1: the other day.
- 1:00Speaker 2: I'm sorry?
- 1:00Speaker 3: What?
- 1:01Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw your little parking note and just wanted
- 1:05Speaker 1: to call and say, bless your heart and thank you
- 1:07Speaker 1: for pointing out my little fiddly wink there.
- 1:12Speaker 2: Uh oh ah.
- 1:14Speaker 3: And you're right, You're right. I could be better.
- 1:17Speaker 2: Yeah, sorry, I didn't. I'm sorry. I'm just a little
- 1:21Speaker 2: thrown I didn't realize that.
- 1:23Speaker 3: Don't say sorry.
- 1:24Speaker 1: And by the way, I recognized you from my ring
- 1:27Speaker 1: cam your grace right.
- 1:28Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
- 1:32Speaker 1: My name's Jerry. I live just down the street. It's
- 1:35Speaker 1: nice to meet you, friend.
- 1:38Speaker 2: Nice to meet you too.
- 1:39Speaker 3: Absolutely I went action.
- 1:42Speaker 1: I took a second gander at my park job, and
- 1:44Speaker 1: I thought, well, paint me purple and call me a grape.
- 1:48Speaker 2: She's right, Yeah, just like you said.
- 1:53Speaker 1: Instead of six inches off the curb, I was probably
- 1:56Speaker 1: what seven?
- 1:58Speaker 2: I mean, I think it was a little bit more
- 2:00Speaker 2: than not. Sorry. I just I was worried maybe somebody
- 2:04Speaker 2: would hite your car.
- 2:05Speaker 1: Well, listen, that nice of you to go out of
- 2:07Speaker 1: your way to tell me to move my car.
- 2:10Speaker 2: Oh, I just meant more like to repark it because
- 2:14Speaker 2: it was just sticking out, you know.
- 2:15Speaker 3: I sure, yeah, that's great.
- 2:17Speaker 1: And you know, speaking of helpful advice, while I've got you,
- 2:21Speaker 1: since you gave me such great neighborly feedback, I wanted
- 2:25Speaker 1: to pass along a couple.
- 2:26Speaker 3: Of little notes for you.
- 2:29Speaker 1: What do you mean, Well, like, that's a real cute
- 2:33Speaker 1: brown color.
- 2:33Speaker 3: It shows for your house there. It's pretty brave.
- 2:38Speaker 2: I wasn't trying to be brave. That's well, just.
- 2:41Speaker 1: Not everyone is confident enough to say, yes, this does
- 2:45Speaker 1: look like a band aid, and now it's my home.
- 2:50Speaker 2: This feels like more like you're trying to be rude
- 2:53Speaker 2: than don't get.
- 2:53Speaker 1: Me started on the color of your front door so
- 2:57Speaker 1: daringly unexpected.
- 2:59Speaker 3: It's like flirty he meets foreclosure.
- 3:01Speaker 2: Okay, I don't really think you're trying to be helpful
- 3:04Speaker 2: right now. I'm sorry if you were offended by my note,
- 3:06Speaker 2: But just giving you a little.
- 3:08Speaker 3: Bit of neighborly advice like you gave me asking you.
- 3:11Speaker 2: To repark your car is different than asking me to
- 3:13Speaker 2: repaint my entire house.
- 3:15Speaker 3: See that's where you're mistaken.
- 3:17Speaker 1: I like band aids, and I have a lot of
- 3:19Speaker 1: them on my body.
- 3:20Speaker 2: Okay, so then what's the issue?
- 3:23Speaker 3: Well, no issue.
- 3:24Speaker 1: I sure would like to give you some advice on
- 3:25Speaker 1: your landscaping though.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Got something to say about that too.
- 3:30Speaker 1: Yeah, you got a real natural look going out there,
- 3:32Speaker 1: like you just let mother nature do or thing and said, ah,
- 3:36Speaker 1: she'll figure it out.
- 3:38Speaker 2: Okay, I don't really know how you want me to respond.
- 3:40Speaker 2: I'm not going to change all of the old things.
- 3:42Speaker 1: No, No, it's a compliment. That's what I do with
- 3:44Speaker 1: my bikini line. Just let it grow.
- 3:47Speaker 2: Okay, this is starting to feel inappropriate.
- 3:49Speaker 1: Well, I've always believed that honest, neighborly feedback is the
- 3:53Speaker 1: foundation of any emotionally robust community.
- 3:56Speaker 2: You're not understanding. I was trying to help you. Like,
- 3:58Speaker 2: that's a safety hazard that you're doing. Okay, the color
- 4:02Speaker 2: of my house or what my garden looks like is
- 4:04Speaker 2: not really any of your business.
- 4:05Speaker 3: You know what else shouldn't be my business is your
- 4:07Speaker 3: front porch.
- 4:09Speaker 2: That's enough.
- 4:10Speaker 1: It's got that cozy, lived in vibe, like you just
- 4:13Speaker 1: walked away mid smoke break and never came back.
- 4:17Speaker 2: All right, Well, you've totally trashed my house and my landscaping,
- 4:21Speaker 2: and it feels like you're just trying to get back
- 4:22Speaker 2: at me for something.
- 4:23Speaker 1: So oh no, are you taking my helpful tone in
- 4:27Speaker 1: a stern way, because that's not my intention at all.
- 4:30Speaker 2: I see what you're doing, and like, I don't want
- 4:32Speaker 2: to play this game.
- 4:33Speaker 1: Well, it's just a couple friendly nudges from someone who's
- 4:36Speaker 1: learning to park better thanks to you.
- 4:38Speaker 2: Okay, Uh, you've been your point. Please don't call me
- 4:41Speaker 2: ever again.
- 4:42Speaker 1: You bet your friend. But one last neighborly advice.
- 4:45Speaker 2: I don't need to hear it.
- 4:46Speaker 1: Well, if I was you, i'd be careful about letting
- 4:49Speaker 1: your husband listen to those rascally morning radio shows, or
- 4:53Speaker 1: you might try and do a silly prank call on
- 4:54Speaker 1: you get.
- 4:55Speaker 3: You all riled up for no reason.
- 4:57Speaker 1: No what Yeah, your husband and grant he sets you
- 5:02Speaker 1: up because you're actually on the radio right now on
- 5:03Speaker 1: a show called Brook and Jeffrey in the Morning. Wait
- 5:07Speaker 1: what what this is a phone tap?
- 5:10Speaker 2: Oh my, I was so annoyed. Oh my god, I'm
- 5:14Speaker 2: gonna kill him.
- 5:16Speaker 1: Yeah, your husband told us that you left a note
- 5:18Speaker 1: on somebody's car about their crappy parking job I did.
- 5:21Speaker 2: This was a dangerous parking job. I thought you were
- 5:25Speaker 2: a really guy, though, when you were insulting, like you
- 5:28Speaker 2: knew everything about my house, that was so weird. And
- 5:30Speaker 2: I haven't met my neighbor yet.
- 5:32Speaker 1: I was just trying to be a good neighbor and
- 5:34Speaker 1: compare your landscaping to my perfectly trained bikini line.
- 5:38Speaker 2: Ow. Oh god, I can't believe I felt for this.
- 5:43Speaker 3: Week up every morning was phone tap weekday mornings on
