Out of Proportion?

 

I don’t know if I am  paranoid or just way out in left field but I do tend to project onto others what I would do in a similar situation. Upon returning to the house this morning I was approached by a hospital employee who was cleaning up some leaves on their property. Let me preface this by saying when they built the hospital addition next to this property they did NOT do it according to code as pertaining to property lines. Wonder who and why the city let that slip by. Anyway, she said the hospital was interested in the 

lawn ornaments (urns)  and the bird bath in my backyard. Well, first off, I do know the lawn ornaments are antique, and maybe they do not know that. I have a dealer who had asked for first right of refusal for the urns.  The hospital is in financial difficulty and just got the vote to start a hospital district to get funds in to help pay attorney’s fees from a lawsuit they brought on themselves. The birdbath is in not very good condition though, and I mentioned that to her. She replied “John (hospital administrator) looked at it as he was out here and walked over to see it”. Well, I would not walk into some ones backyard to look at items unless I had asked permission to do so.  The fellow they had doing their mowing this past weekend also ran his big mower down my driveway, through the back, to get to their enclosed area without so much as a by your leave. Already spoke to him about that and he apologized 

and said he would not do it again, but the attitude around here just drives me up a wall. There is no respect for privacy and/or other peoples property IMHO.

Maybe part of my annoyance is just received a bill from them pertaining to Mom’s final stay and it was over 3K for one day of observation.
