In today's Dear Annie column, Annie Lane advises a reader to speak up the next time their neighbor says something inappropriate.
Annie Lane tells today's reader that they probably aren't the only ones in the neighborhood who are bothered by a neighbor's "jokes."We have this wonderfully helpful neighbor who is always willing to help folks in the neighborhood when needed and quite often does. The only problem is he masks his sarcasm and insults as jokes and everyone laughs. This is directed at everyone EVERY TIME we talk with him.
The next time this man says something rude or off-color, call him out on it. It’s possible he doesn’t realize how what he thinks are jokes impact those around him. If he continues even after you’ve confronted him, limit your interactions with him. Perhaps a bit of distance will make him realize the seriousness of his words.
