Speaker 1 (00:00):
It's a fresh show. It's risy honorable. Oh yes, he
is in the building. You ready, I'm so ready.

Speaker 2 (00:10):
You just had a clear my throat, you know.

Speaker 3 (00:12):
Yeah?

Speaker 4 (00:12):
All right, okay, all right, go all right, let's hit
this gabble. Let's get into the case. It says Kiki,
I hate it here. My neighbor is the most annoying
person on the planet. I bought my home three years ago,
and that's when my neighbor nightmare started.

Speaker 1 (00:28):
Excuse me, he choked up about this one.

Speaker 2 (00:30):
I am because I feel very passionate. We'll get to him.
We'll call my neighbor Cheryl.

Speaker 4 (00:36):
Okay, she's a forty nine year old single woman who's
obsessed with me and my family. Every time I step
out my door, Cheryl appears. I try my best to
be nice, but it is so draining. I feel like
a prisoner in my own home. My husband is straight
up rute to her. When he comes home and he
sees Cheryl talking to me in the driveway, he'll just

(00:57):
say to her, Cheryl, your home, missy.

Speaker 5 (01:00):
You.

Speaker 4 (01:01):
Things took a turn for the worst a few weeks
ago when Cheryl took it upon herself to surprise us
on our spring break trip. Just in casual conversation, I
told her we were driving up to our lake house,
and she took it upon herself to drive up and
surprise us to spend the weekend with us. My husband
was furious. I didn't have the heart to tell her

(01:22):
to drive three hours back home. But now it's causing
a problem in my relationship. I did make her leave
the next morning, and now she's trashing us to the
other neighbors.

Speaker 2 (01:32):
What should I do?

Speaker 5 (01:34):
So this woman just invites herself to everything, thinks she's
an extended member of the family. Comes on, you know,
weekend vacations.

Speaker 1 (01:45):
You gotta move.

Speaker 2 (01:46):
No, no, Cheryl Hrow. She needs to go to jail.
She needs to go straight to She need to go home,
straight to jail.

Speaker 1 (01:53):
Yeah, what are you going to kick you? Key? What
say you straight to jail?

Speaker 2 (01:56):
Straight to you?

Speaker 4 (01:57):
What kind of crazy person are you to invite yourself
on my spring break? You show up to my lake
house when my husband and kids are laying and you
think you're supposed to be a part of our family vacation. Lady,
what is wrong with you? And I can't you know?
I love neighbors are good people most times, right but
you have to read social cues. When I when you're

(02:20):
telling me a story and I say that's crazy, that's time.

Speaker 2 (02:25):
To wrap up, wrap it up?

Speaker 4 (02:26):
Can you come visit me? And Fred, I say what
you headed next? It's time to put your shoes on.

Speaker 5 (02:33):
Go yes, because I'm off and over at your house.
And you'll say to me like three or four times,
like where you headed next week? I got nowhere to go,
And then I just keep eating here chips and dip
that you got at the show.

Speaker 4 (02:45):
But when I tell you that, Fred, it's time for
you to go. When I start asking you, you know
what time you got to be at work in the morning,
that's the cue. It's time, man, I got to get
up early. I gotta get up early. That means get
the hell out of my house immediately. So yeah, charl
is out of pocket. She's out of pocket. I don't
know if you guys have ever had a neighbor like this,
or if you grew up around a neighbor like this,

(03:05):
But I hate a chatty neighbor.

Speaker 2 (03:07):
Like, let's wrap this.

Speaker 6 (03:08):
I mean, like, I love my neighborhood, I love my block,
but like and I like I talk to my neighbors
when they're outside, you know, but like it's always about something.

Speaker 2 (03:16):
Or you know, I know when to end that conversation.

Speaker 6 (03:18):
But sometimes it's like I got nothing else, you know
what I'm saying, Like they want to keep talking. I'm
like I'm out of word right, Like I use all
my words this morning on the radio. You know what
I'm saying, like oh yeah, I ain't got no more,
or like I'm busy doing something with Ashland, And then
this is like priorities, man, you know what I'm saying,
Like I'm here, I'm trying to teach my kid how to.

Speaker 1 (03:37):
Ride a bike.

Speaker 6 (03:37):
I don't need to know about whatever's going on in
your life, you know what I'm saying.

Speaker 1 (03:42):
Okay, but what do you do though?

Speaker 5 (03:44):
Like, Okay, we all agree that this woman is overstepping,
we all agree that there are boundaries and was to
do about it.

Speaker 1 (03:52):
Because that's your neighbor.

Speaker 5 (03:53):
And I feel like if you, you know, get really
firm and you're like, hey, stop coming over here so much.

Speaker 1 (03:59):
Stop.

Speaker 5 (03:59):
You know, we're needing to respect our space and you're
not invited on our weekend vacations or whatever else, I
feel like you run the risk of developing an enemy, right,
on your block a Valerie.

Speaker 1 (04:12):
Oh wow, Valery, Hi, what do you do Kiki's corn?
What say you?

Speaker 7 (04:16):
Hi? I think that the neighbor, first of all, needs
to have a very serious conversation. I think what the
husband's doing by making those comments was good, but clearly
she did not take it well enough set some firm boundaries.
If the boundaries are then violated a conversation with dare
I say the police? I don't know. I was just
saying I watched Baby Reindeer on Netflix about stalking, and

(04:39):
I feel like very passionate about this.

Speaker 1 (04:41):
This Baby Reindeer.

Speaker 7 (04:43):
Oh my gosh, Fred and everybody there, you have to
watch it. It's on Netflix. It's about a real story
about a director. He's a director and main actor and
he it's all about how he was really stocked in
real life and like this this crazy woman.

Speaker 8 (04:56):
You have to look into it.

Speaker 7 (04:57):
Everybody listening should watch it.

Speaker 1 (04:59):
Wow. Okay, Valerie, Well thank you have a good day.
Do I need my own account for that?

Speaker 6 (05:04):
Or do I make share with somebody to make a
new account?

Speaker 5 (05:14):
If you would just just send us over your your
password and when you get the bill two step authentication thing,
just hit yes. It's just one of us watching have
a good day. Thank you? Eight five five five nine
one three five. Why am I a stucker?

Speaker 2 (05:28):
Oh?

Speaker 5 (05:29):
I think friend's is stucker too? Why am I stuck?
I do what I have to do with this? I
don't know Cheryl. I don't know Cheryl. Well, I do
know what Cheryl. She ain't stucking me. I'll tell you that.
Oh okay, So what are you supposed to do though?
Like what do we see you have a conversation? So
you say, you say to this woman, look, hey, like
you're welcome to come over here, but can you text

(05:50):
us first see if we're busy and you can't come
on our trips like these are family trips, you can't come,
but will.

Speaker 4 (05:56):
See me in the situation to have to have the conversation,
like we all all need to respect social kill like
don't pop up, don't to drive three hours to come
to my family spring break without consulting me, Like without
having approval for me first is insane, Like no, you
need to go to the police.

Speaker 5 (06:16):
But then again, now you've just first of all, I
don't know where the police are going to do you
get a protective order? Like you've been now made an
enemy out of a neighbor. I don't know what you
do it like, there's got to be a cordial way
to do this before you take that step.

Speaker 2 (06:27):
I made the enemy or did she make the enemy?
By literally no, she's.

Speaker 1 (06:31):
In the wrong.

Speaker 5 (06:31):
But it doesn't mean you still won't make an enemy.
So you gotta be you gotta handle this delicately. I
cannot go into the witness protection program.

Speaker 2 (06:41):
You that should have to do that in my own home.

Speaker 1 (06:43):
I agree, that's horrible. Abby. How you doing, Abby? Good morning,
Good morning?

Speaker 8 (06:48):
How are you? Hey?

Speaker 5 (06:49):
We're doing okay. Kiki's Court. What do you do about
the nosy neighbor? Charrelle?

Speaker 9 (06:54):
So we hadn't just like this growing up in central Illinois.
And uh my dad finally had to talk to the
neighbor and threaten to call the police. So our neighbor
would just open our sliding glass door at dinnertime and
walk on into our house and sit down at the
table and talk to us.

Speaker 3 (07:14):
Whoa you take food off the table?

Speaker 9 (07:17):
And yeah, we actually wound up living next to this
neighbor for like ten more years and never really had
an issue. We just think we don't know what his
problem was, Like he was a. He was a doctor
in town and not the type of person you have
think would be like that at all, and rightly boundaries.

(07:38):
So we just finally my dad just had to like
pull him out of the house and be like, listen,
it's family dinner time. You can't just walk into our
house at our table eat our food. You can't you know,
wait on our back patio until one of us comes out.
You can't read your newspaper because you would do that.

Speaker 5 (07:53):
You like, wow, just make himself at home. So you
had a conversation and he kind of faded away.

Speaker 9 (07:59):
Then yeah, she faded away. But if this woman doesn't
just like fade away, that's fatal attraction stuff.

Speaker 5 (08:06):
For long, you're going to have like, you know, animal
carcasses on your lawn and god knows what else.

Speaker 1 (08:11):
This is crazy.

Speaker 5 (08:12):
Cherrelle, Thank you have a good day too.

Speaker 1 (08:16):
I really hope we made up a name for her.
Is it really Cherrelle?

Speaker 8 (08:18):
No?

Speaker 2 (08:18):
No, no, the lady she put will call her?

Speaker 3 (08:20):
Sure.

Speaker 1 (08:21):
Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 6 (08:23):
Sometimes it's like it's like you don't know how long,
Like you said, this person has been in this neighborhood
for three years, but you don't know how long Cherrelle
has been there, and how many other like, you know,
how many other neighbors?

Speaker 2 (08:35):
Is like allow her to do this?

Speaker 6 (08:37):
You know what I'm saying, right, So it's like maybe
the other neighbors allow her to just yeah, right, and
then you're just like, man, you need some privacy at
some point.

Speaker 2 (08:46):
And she did say that. Now she's trashing her to
the other neighbors, right, she sent her home, so she
must be cool with the other you know.

Speaker 6 (08:52):
So now you look like the bad guy in the
block because you don't let Cheryl do whatever she wants
just because she's been there the longest.

Speaker 2 (08:58):
Yep, you know.

Speaker 6 (08:58):
So I don't know, like you can't, like it said,
you can't be a prisoner in your own home, Like
you can't be scared to go outside because that's your house.

Speaker 4 (09:04):
You live there. You pay time, right, not me? But
they do well we know you don't pay. Yeah, and
Sorrell knows that too. Don't tell the feds.

Speaker 6 (09:15):
If you don't behavior Sorell, single friend, go go go
talk to Serell.

Speaker 1 (09:23):
Eight different things. The cherrelle I know is not hanging out.
Not tell you that.

Speaker 5 (09:29):
Hey, tiffany, how you doing morning?

Speaker 1 (09:33):
Hi?

Speaker 5 (09:34):
So just to recap here if you're just tuning in
Kiki's cord as a neighbor that's just a little too comfortable,
hangs out at the house, won't leave, shows up on weekend, vacations,
won't leave.

Speaker 1 (09:43):
What do you do? How do you?

Speaker 5 (09:45):
How do you handle this in a way that is
say yeah, yeah, and the wait, it's this copea setic.

Speaker 10 (09:55):
My opinion is the wife needs to set more think
social cues. She needs to be more direct with the neighbor.
I think that if she appeals to this neighbor's humanity,
something along the lines of, Hey, my kids really miss me.
I need to go back inside. Hey, it's good to

(10:15):
see you. I know that we haven't had a chance
to catch up, but I have to go back inside.
There's a way to make it more concrete of a
boundary and less of a zig ooh, what want this
person to be mad at these? So I'm just going
to let her walk all over it.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
But at the same time, like you saying that you're
still a prisoner in your own home, Like anytime this
woman comes by your house, like.

Speaker 1 (10:41):
I gotta go inside, then you don't want to go inside.
You want to be outside.

Speaker 5 (10:45):
Like I wonder if she has any family, Like I
wonder if she maybe has there's something not right, maybe
psychologically or something, and maybe she has some family or
someone you can advise it could help. So there's you're
not it's not that you don't like this woman. It's
you just need boundaries, like because you need your own
space and you developed thing it dislike for this person
because they're not respecting your space.

Speaker 10 (11:04):
And chances are this happens with more than just this
neighbor in your caller's life. Yes, yes, across the board. Yeah,
so by working on things with one neighbor, it might
help this person to be more assertive and concrete across
the board.

Speaker 5 (11:24):
You know what's happening to the neighbors, Tiffany. The other
neighbors are going, you know what, you should go over
to their house. They're like, you know what, I'm busy
right now, but you should go over to there. All
the other neighbors have ganged up and they're like, you
should go over to this chick's house, like she was
actually just asking about you. You know, they're sending her
over there.

Speaker 9 (11:40):
You know what, that's smart.

Speaker 10 (11:42):
That's what your caller should do. Send them all over
to Jane Doss just.

Speaker 5 (11:46):
Bounce her around. Just hey, go over there. You're right,
thank you, Tiffany, have a good day.

Speaker 6 (11:51):
Yes, Kevin, you should do like the person should do,
like a oo reverse. They just start going over to
Cherl's house and just bothering her.

Speaker 2 (11:58):
Oh, she'll probably love it. I'm starving in all the
food and all the stuff, you know, I'm are you
gonna go over there? And I've locked up?

Speaker 1 (12:06):
Have you ever seen that movie?

Speaker 5 (12:07):
What's the movie I'm thinking of with Kathy Bates?

Speaker 1 (12:10):
Misery? That's a misery?

Speaker 5 (12:14):
Hey, Tanya, good morning, Hi, good morning, welcome to the show.

Speaker 1 (12:18):
What do you think of that? Kiki's cord?

Speaker 8 (12:22):
Kiki's awesome? I love you understand.

Speaker 5 (12:26):
Oh I didn't ask what you thought of Kiki, but
I what you thought about the story. But you can
go ahead and tell her that's all right, Yeah, that's okay.

Speaker 8 (12:36):
I have a story to share. My mom's neighbors, which
is the biggest talker, and she used to blame it
on herself that she's alone and she needs friends and whatnot.
This is an elderly neighbor too, like from seventies or whatever.
Every time we go, she will knock ten twenty times
on the door, because she knows we're there. The door's

(12:59):
long to a call and you have no option but
to open. So you're at the beginning, you were nice,
but then now we've started to kind of be rude
to her. You know, don't come in. We don't like you.
You don't just come in and join our family like
this is a party, you know whatever. She like started

(13:20):
crying front of my mom one time, and she's like,
you got to understand, like you're not my family. Oh
she finally backed off a little bit, or you know,
we're like, oh my god, we can finally breathe, like
we're together. She's not here, And is this crazy to
have some people, you know, take it upon themselves to
just invite themselves everywhere. I don't know.

Speaker 5 (13:39):
Yeah, no, it's it is sad because this one has
some kind of an issue, either it's loneliness or more so.

Speaker 1 (13:46):
You know, yeah, no it is.

Speaker 5 (13:48):
But you have a right to have Yeah, you have
a right to have, you know, peace in your own home.
Thank you so much, Tanya for colling have a good day.
But at the same time, it can be I gotta
think that's a dicey situation because you don't have it properly.
Now you got an enemy who lives right next door
to you. You don't even do anything wrong. Hey y Sennia,
good morning.

Speaker 7 (14:07):
Hey guys.

Speaker 1 (14:07):
Hey what say you?

Speaker 7 (14:10):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (14:10):
I love you guys, but I think that everybody needs
to stop taking things so personal. If that lady is
bringing discomfort to your family, you have chas you know,
overstepping her boundary, Like tell her what's up, and it
is what it is. If you're outside, then.

Speaker 8 (14:27):
I'm outside with you.

Speaker 3 (14:28):
And if you've got a lot to say to your neighbors,
well then let's call it a coffee subtle it. I
tried to be nice and you know, showing you away,
but now you're doing too much.

Speaker 9 (14:36):
So we got to handle it how I need to
be handled.

Speaker 5 (14:39):
Okay, so ya Sennia says, take a straight up approach,
just be blunt.

Speaker 4 (14:44):
Yeah, that often wins. It's not a comfortable thing to do,
but it wins.

Speaker 1 (14:48):
Until you guys flaming trash at your front yard.

Speaker 6 (14:52):
They just do a party at their house and be
like invite her over. Then it's an intervention with all
the other neighbors.

Speaker 1 (15:00):
You all, we brought you here to tell you to
get out.

Speaker 5 (15:02):
Actually, we sold your house for you. You live somewhere
else now, thank you. Yesenia, have a good day.

Speaker 3 (15:13):
All.

Speaker 5 (15:13):
They invited me over something you know. Actually, while you're here,
they're moving everything out of your house. When you get home,
there'll be nothing there, and then an uber will take
you to your new house with your new neighbors.
