Dear Neighbor, You Are Not Invited to My Party

From the same blog that brought to our attention how to pay for an outstanding balance with a spider drawing....

We bring you: The Uninvite.

David Thorne puts someone's wits to the test again through an exhaustive e-mail exchange.
As the site describes:

Last week when I checked my mailbox, I found that my new neighbour had left me a note stating that he was having a party and to let him know if the noise was too loud.

The problem I have with the note is not that he was having a party and didn't invite me, it was that he selected a vibrant background of balloons, effectively stating that his party was going to be vibrant and possibly have balloons and that I couldn't come.

Admittedly, the resulting e-mail thread is a bit menacing, but really, it's too hilarious not to appreciate. This surly neighbor would most certainly be invited to my party.

I don't like neighbors assuming that they're your friends. If I recieved an invite like this I'd be grateful that he's not assuming we'll be best friends forever just because of our proximity. Neighbors are just that, so be glad that he's polite and thoughtful, rather than browbeating you to join a bunch of strangers that you'll probably only see in passing in the future. Privacy is important to me, neighbors are something you'll nearly always have, so make the best of the situation and accept the fact that he's polite.

It's not like the guy was a long time neighbor or anything. I think he was being courteous by letting his new neighbors that he didn't want them to feel angry if it got to loud, but keep it to themselves and then hold hostility to the new neighbor for years to come.....instead, the new guy is just saying "hey, please let me know if my party gets to loud, I don't want to start out on the wrong foot" ..I'm with the new neighbor.

Let's see if I have this right. The neighbor sends a note courteously requesting notice if his party is too loud. This wanker neighbor gets mad because he doesn't want to invite a stranger to his party just because they live nearby? Or no, it's because the balloons suggest the party will be fun - unlike the premise of most parties? Do people use common sense anymore, or do they just whine and b!tch each time there is evidence the world does not revolve around them?

How many of you morons actually read the entire exchange. It was meant to be comical. Now get up and back away from the computer and go out and GET A LIFE!

Wow
David is a jerk.
The new neightbor didn't have to give him a heads up about the party at all, he did so as a curtesy. David. Yu are a lonely, egotistical prig. WHY in the world would you be invited to a strangers housewarming party. Did you welcome him into the building? I bet NOT.
Dude - get over yourself. You are a an arse!

Dear Offended,
The note was totally appropo. The sender was not being rude. He was letting you know ahead of time that his friends were going to come over for a house warming and he wanted to be considerate of his new neighbors plus be given some courtesy back if there was some noise. He wanted to start out on a good foot with the new neighbors. The person complaining about the note needs to back off and keep silent.

Dear Jessica,

I am actually shocked at some of the responses on here. Not exactly reddit or digg is it Jessica. I am guessing the average AOL user to be middle aged, born without a sense of humour (or at least have had it beaten out of them) and probably work in accounting or a shop that sells paperclips or something. Bahaha®

While the comments sections of other sites that have posted the Matthew's party page have made me laugh, the sheer mind numbing stupidity of the mainstream comments on here have had me in hysterics.

Regards, Tabitha.

This was one of the funniest things I have read all year. I woke up in the night laughing at some of the dialogue. It's surprising to me how serious some people were about this exchange.

He was being curteous. In a time of rude people you would think someone would appreciate it but none does. He is having a house warming party, not an open house, not a getting to know you party. You want to go to the party that bad, then don't for get to buy a house warming gift.

I would and have appreciated the thoughtfness of Michael. I had a neighbor who is VERY VERY quiet. I received a similar note stated that they would be having a family renunion in celetration of the grandfathers 90th b-day and ask the same of me. Please let them know if the noise was too loud. I totally appreciated it. Grow up, not everyone in the world is going to invite you to their parties.
