Do people make you into a jerk on purpose?
Here is what I can’t stand.
We have a neighbor across the street that we rideshare children to school with every day. He drops them off in the morning and we pick them up at the end of school day. About once a week he is not home when we get back from school with his six year old daughter so we are ...[text shortened]... late without calling or be passive aggressive and beat his windshield out with a hammer?

lastly I think you missunderstand passive aggresion as passive means without energy and so would be diffrent from beating people up with hammers.

we have nightmare suburban middle class hell in the house opposite ours. they send the children out to play up and down the street, but are sat inside with the door well and truly shut.

GAWD!

What better way to send a message to a rube, than to give his children those things he cannot give, in loco parentis? Teach his children respect for themselves and authority, how to throw a ball, play chess, read, think logically for themselves, etc.

In fact it seems that you are living in a rough neighbourhood I'd seriously think about moving, If I were you.
So it's ok that he does not call or answer his cell phone to say he is running a little late. What if his being late makes me miss an important appointment?
I take it that you feel that your time is more important than other peoples time. It is sad that you think that 15 minuts is no big deal to hold up some one elses time because of things that ...[text shortened]... y fault if someone is being late, but I am the one made to be inconvienenced not them.

To answer this would imply that I am a jerk.

We have spoken to him about this on several occasions and ask that if he is going to be late to please call us from his cell phone (which he does not answer on the days he is late) and let us know. {snip}
The problem is that he does not call and is a jerk to my wife about it when confronted.
I would take this as a sign he is having an affair he doesn't wish you to find out about. Silence is easier to maintain than a web of lies.
Originally posted by RingtailhunterThat was the moment she realised he was having an affair.
Here is the kicker. We pick the kids up from school get home and his truck is gone and he is not answering his cell phone or the phone at home. about 45 minutes goes by and we call the house again because the lights are on...his wife answers (my wife was on speaker phone with her and it was everything I could do to not start berating this dingbat) M ...[text shortened]... want your daughter? Why was your husband late? why didn't you call?
Big silence...........

Originally posted by RingtailhunterYou got a choice, Drive your kids TO and FROM school, or just drive one way, and keep the kids 15 min. I dont really see the problem. If it was me, I would drop the kids off at their house (without the parents) , unless they are really young, then I would put them to work pulling weeds or somthing at your house. You seem to complain that you have to babysit them for 15 min. but would you rather drive your kids to school everyday? it looks like you got a good deal to me.

And no one is responsable for you being a jerk, except yourself
It is not polite for your neighbor to be late without calling, however It isnt your responability to keep everyone "polite"
