"You people are are weird...?"

[Luv Bunnies]

So my husband and I were outside today and our neighbor from across the street came over to chat. We were putting up the lights on our house and mentioned that we would not be putting up all of our lighted reindeer, etc. since we would be leaving in less than 3 weeks. He asked, "Where are you going in 3 weeks?" We replied, "Disneyworld!" What does he say? "You people are weird." I promptly told him I would be passing his little comment on to my friends on the Dis Board and he shouldn't be surprised if he has some bad luck in the near future (I made it sound like you guys could collectively hex him!).

So then he went back to work on his lights and we kept working quickly on ours because we always try to beat him and get ours lit first.

Then he comes back and guess what? He said he blew a circuit breaker in his garage! Not only can he not turn his Christmas lights on, he can't even close his garage door without pulling it down himself. Is that karma or what?
I told him it's because he dissed our Disney trip and he just laughed!

So now our lights are blazing and his are still dark. And we're weird!? Seriously, this guy is a good friend of ours! He claims that putting our lights up isn't a race but we still try to secretly beat each other every year. And we watch each other's houses while we're on vacation so he'll be getting our mail for 10 days! But, I can't help but laugh about his breaker. It's not funny and it's a big pain for him, but he did make that comment.....

It's totally karma!! And have fun on your trip coming up!!

When someone says I'm weird, I simply say thank you and smile.

Okay, so I guess I'm weird, too, because I don't see what is weird about going to WDW in 3 weeks or what is weird about not putting up some of your lights since you won't be home to enjoy them. Oh well.......

Don't mess with the DIS.

 

[PaMom001]

He got Dissed by the Dis.

"Instant karma's gonna get him.
It's gonna knock him right off his feet..."

Well, I'd rather be weird than rude (no, wait a minute - I'd rather be both!) but while it's too bad he blew the circuit breaker, I have no sympathy for him having to operate the garage door by hand.

 

[I'mNoPrince]

I bet right now he wishes he was heading to WDW and not having to look at your lights all lit and bright from his dark house.

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

Ahhhhh...Life is good !!!

 

[pixie dust 112]

Tell him we're not weird we're just in a cult!

He He He!

 

[betsywdw]

When you mess with the Dis...you will learn

 

[TheDisneyGirl02]

What goes around, comes around!!!! HAHAHAHAHA!

Thanks for the laugh and have a great time at the parks!

 

[dgboos]

I wish I could get money for every time someone has said that to us about Disney. When we keep going back they always reply,"Again?" Uh-yeah-duh!
It's Disneyworld. Then it's the,"Don't you get sick of it?" Uh-duh it's Disneyworld. What don't they understand? And we're the weird ones, go figure I'm just glad my DH and I have become part of DIS so we could be part of the clan

 

[bubba73]

I would rather be weird and know that I can look forward to a trip to the World than knowing I have to stay home and go to work!!

 

[luvgrumpy]

Serves him right. Have a fun trip!

 

[Mischa]

You guys sound like me and my dh!

Our next door neighbor is always trying to beat us with the lights (and out do us too!) This has been going on for a few years now. This year we weren't planning on putting up any lights since we leave in 14 days for WDW, so I guess they will win this year.

Funny that your neighbor's circuit breaker broke!

The dis definitely rocks!!

 

[Smooshdog]

Disneyworld rocks the house! We are leaving in about 18 days! Nothing weird about that!
