Nope, they balance out my life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You mean pessimistic people!?

You mean like people who find only negative aspects when given something 'good'!? Criticize while you want the person to be happy!?

Not really, there are all kinds of people, plus, everyone apparently may react that way sometimes depending on their mood, etc!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!. My neighbor is just that type of person!.

She uses the public street she lives on!. But it has too many parked cars in front of her house!. (It's public!)

The local elementary school is right behind her house!. She and her husband bought that house so their kids could walk there!. Other children, in her mind, ALWAYS cut through her yard and do things like tear the bark off "all" of her trees!. (The trees look very health, mind you!.) Therefore, the school is too close to THEM!.

And the list could go on forever!.

But I like her! In between pessimistic sentences is a very smart and friendly lady!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
