Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 My neighbor is upset because she came into my house (uninvited, she comes over frequently...) and my youngest, who was on the computer, didn't say hi. She did say " busy " and went back to what she was doing. (Just as she's frequently seen me, her mother, do) The neighbor is fuming about how rude my child is and saying " I don't care if she has Asperger's or whatever, she can be polite and say hi. " Well... one of the reasons said child is homeschooled is the fact that I kept getting accosted at the school she attended by the " etiquette Nazis " who would say " good MORning " really loud if I failed to acknowledge their hallowed presence. Therefore I took my daughter's side but declined to explain why, knowing this woman would cut me off and sure enough as soon as I said that I was siding with my kid she said " well then, I'm not going to ever come over your house again, because that's just plain rude and... yada yada yada " Finally I hung up on her in disgust and the whole episode left me feeling justified in my comfortable hermitage ensconced in my little nest of favorite things. Ari... I don't know how you stand to be around such sanctimonious individuals day in and day out.
