Amen and Amen to that one brother. Firstly, I figure if they wanted help, they would ask for it. Secondly, they may resent your idea of "help".

Don't borrow any tools, don't give them your phone number, don't try to sell them anything (especially a CAR!!!!) and stay out of the way and let the police respond to burglar alarms.

Another one I've learned recently is if you are male, keep any interaction with their wives to a minimum. About as far as you should go, is "Hello" and "How are you?" while your walking into the door of your own abode and end it at that. Some guys do not like any man talking to their wife for any length of time and get really really jealous.

If they're insecure little pricks, then maybe their wives will get bored and start looking elsewhere in short order. Hmmmm, this may be a good way to get laid (as long as neighbor is someone who you can beat the living crap out of if he comes at you )

Thank goodness I am not a neighbor of yours. Where I live neighbors help each other.

Depends on what type of help they want or need and what type of help I want or need. Again, when it comes to a tripped home alarm system, I know of more than one instance where the friendly neighbor "do gooder" got himself in the cross fire and SHOT DEAD. All because he was trying to "help his neighbor out".

You and me both.

The more my wife talks to men the less she talks to me. Good trade.
