The Anal Retentive Next Door

The owner of the property next to us is fixing up his place to rent. He inherited the house from his grandmother after his uncle died that lived there all his life. The anal retentive is a retired engineer and all he has to occcupy himself with is fussing over his new property. How anal retentive is he?

He had the house painted to blend with ours and the one on the other side of him. The color was one of the generic browns to match the tan of ours and the beige of the other. We were tired of browns and tans and just after that, we had our house painted yellow with green and white trim. We didn't even think about color coordination with the rest of the hood, just to make ours look good and a bit different. He was upset that we didn't use a brown to match all the other browns. Then he had a cement slab poured for a patio in the back of his property, a fence put up but not on our shared side. I had agreed to go in half but he decided not to at this time. He hates the bamboo. So do I, and wanted to remove it all but can't until the fence comes down so the gardener can dig the bamboo out that is along the fence.

Right now he is cutting the bamboo on his side. Of course it is leaving gapping holes between the property so that there  is a big loss of privacy. But that doesn't bother Anal Retentive, he doesn't live here and so far, no one has rented his place. What's funny is that he complained about the people who put up the fence. They used green wood according to him, because now the wood has shrunk and has left a small gap between the boards. If you get your face right up to it and look, you can see inside. So why cut the bamboo so severly? You sure don't need to get up to the bamboo to see inside, you can sit in the patio and do that.

He's pissed at the people who poured the cement. There is a small hairline crack now. He's pissed at the people who put the sod down and the seed. He's pissed at anything anybody does that he didn't do for one reason or another cause he is anal retentive. I don't think he can pass a watermelon seed his asshole is so tight.
