re: Next door neighbor horror stories

We had a divorcee living a couple of houses to our right in our cul de sac. Her husband got tired of her drinking and left her. She weighs maybe 90 lbs but would have two cases of Bud Light delivered to her house every 2-3 days. She had joint custody of their youngest son who was around 11 or 12. Evidently when he was staying with his Dad, drunk mother would call him every night. She loses her phone and then starts coming to our house to borrow my phone to call the kid. I felt sorry for the kid so I kept letting her do it.

Finally, she knocks on my door while I am working from home during the day and says she needs to call her ex-husband because she is having a heart attack. I dial the number for her but no answer. I tell her if she is having a heart attack I am calling an ambulance which hauled her off. She was not having a heart attack but just suffering from alcoholism. She sold her house a couple of months ago so that problem is gone.
