ok, so here is the situation. My neighbors are grossly overweight ground slugs that leech every dime and service that they can off the system. Both are well over 300lbs and their 1 adult and 2 teenage children top out over 200lbs each. The father has undergone gastric bypass surgery (paid for by medicare) and it failed due to the fact that he did not change his eating habits. He is only SSD for knee, hip, and back problems due to his weight. The mother supposedly has a thyroid problem that makes it easy for her to gain weight, yet hard to lose it. She is on SSD for the same reasons. The adult son is perpetually unemployed and has no education. The daughter works part-time as a grocery stocker. The teenage son is on SSD because of his parents and was kicked out of JROTC for being too fat (and refusing to allow them to help him lose weight). Now in addition to the SSD, they get subsidies from the fed, state, and local gov'ts for heating assistance, food, and due to a spectacular state program, they had their house remodeled with new windows, roof, siding, and deck.
Here is the problem, the father (who my family refers to as fatman) is far from disabled. He hobbles around his yard always working on a vehicle or as he gets money from the government, remodeling his garage or building additions. The mother (who we refer to as fatwoman) is also not disabled, as she is usually hobbling around behind fatman screaming and swearing at him. This has become a said fact of my existance in my neighborhood.
Occasionally they do things that really set me off (last year they had an idiot friend of theirs cutting down trees in their yard and he cut one leaning over my property line that landed on my truck...after arguing over it they eventually came good for it), but for the most part I ignore them. TODAY however I watched as the brother-in-law (who is a convicted child molester that we call child molester) that lives up the road came down to fatman's with his tractor. They then proceeded to use it to lift fatman's boat off it's trailer and drop it on the ground...they then proceeded to chain it to the tractor and drag it down the road to the backside of fatman's property. All in all, I witnessed him do a buttload of extremely hard work and destroy a $1000 boat in the process. From what I saw after, they just wanted the boat trailer to turn it into a flatbed trailer for his riding lawn mower.
I am not one to covet my neighbors property, for I always manage to save up to provide for my own needs and desires...today though took the cake. Here is my neighbor living off the system, while I bust my azz to make it by raising a family and putting myself through college. Am I wrong to allow this to get to me? Today something snapped and I had all I could do from grabbing a video camera and sending it to the gov't!
