We have lived in this neighborhood for 10 years and know most of the people on our street but not many on the other streets. The lots are minimum one acre so people in this neighborhood like their space. We do too.
Tonight my husband, two of our kids, and I were driving to dinner. My husband spotted a purse in the middle of the road (not our road). It was really strange, wallet, phone, keys, everything just laying there. I looked at the driver's license and the address of the lady was a couple of houses down. So I took the purse to her door. I rang the bell and waited a minute or two. I heard someone inside so I rang it again. No one ever opened the door and I never saw anyone through the glass. A lady started yelling at me. She was saying weird stuff. "Do you really want to do this?" "Who the f*** are you?" Everytime I tried to tell her that I found her purse, she yelled the same things. I was getting a bit freaked out. I tried to tell her that I was her neighbor on the corner and I found her purse. But she kept interrupting me with "Do you really want to do this?" And then she said, "I will shoot you! Don't think I won't!" I dropped the purse and ran to the car.
I am still so upset. I was terrified. My kids were scared. I probably shouldn't have told them but they did see me running like mad to get to the car. DH is quite upset too. Y'all this is a nice middle class/upper middle class neighborhood. WTH? I guess she's just crazy. I would bet she was under the influence. But this is just not right. I am not even sure why I am posting this. Really, what can I do other than avoid her? Strange and scary.
