    a funny thing happened...

    I have next door neighbours. A married couple and two high-school aged sons.
    They are always screaming and swearing at eachother.
    They're all so horrible.
    So yesterday I'm sitting on my porch smoking and i hear...

    Mum: aren't you beautiful today
    Dad: Who's my precious girl?

    So I'm thinking 'God they've gone to a couples retreat or something!'

    No they're talking to their dogs.

    The mother finished with "Mow the fkn lawn ya lazy bum!" to hubby.

    Some people ey?

    That's too bad, but hopefully it means the dogs are treated decently.
    We had neighbors that screamed and yelled, doors slamming, and worse, I'm sure. It was foreign to me at that time and I can just be glad it was. They did not last long before the owners of the house got tired of them and sent them packing.

    My wife and I only scream and swear at each other when we're drunk, which is quite often. Eventually, we sober up -- and no harm done. Basically, you just need to mind your own business.

    I just love the concept of treating people like dirt and dogs like royalty. Good for a giggle an quite common!

    The sort of thing that gives a nice twist to the end of a story when you realise who is being spoken to.
