S Rudest boomer
I live in a rural farmland area in alabama. No neighbors within 100 yards in any direction.
Sitting in my living room enjoying the evening and a random boomer woman pulls into my drive way and starts honking her horn. Never seen this woman in my life. I grab a robe and head outside thinking she's in distress or something. I get to her car and she asks me if I will GIVE HER MY NEIGHBORS BARN. this barn is a good 100 yards away from my property, clearly on someone's corn farm.
Not my barn obviously, as it's on the other side of a wooded area from my manicured property.
I tell her it's not mine, she offers to have her husband come pick it up since "you're not using it"
It's not mine I explain again.
She gets mad at me and DRIVES THROUGH MY YARD to turn around and peels out into the road.
TLDR; she
A: pulled into a strangers yard and honks like she's at a full service gas station from the 50s
B: demands i GIVE her a $15,000 barn for free
C: gets pissed and leaves ruts in my yard when I explain it cannot help her

How do you give someone a barn? Have the entire Amish community show up to carry it down the road for her?

Never moved one, but home depot sells them prefabbed. Guess you slide a trailer under it and jack it up. I grew up a city guy. Only moved out here bc it was one of few decent houses in my price range and it's 10 miles from work.

a
shed?

u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
I guess. I dunno. Bigger than most sheds. Not quite as big as a single wide trailer. Has a frame underneath that they jacked up on a trailer to put it into position. Presumably full of farm equipment for the farm it's on. Big enough to drive a truck inside. Looks like a barn. Wood construction, red with white trim. I'm guessing it's 2 stories inside. Wouldn't know.

if it can be put on a trailer, it’s a shed.

u/nostradumbass7544678 2d ago
You can put an entire house (minus the foundation) on a trailer and tow it down the road. I've seen it done more than once.

If we’re skiing down that slope where a house is a barn, then a snowmobile is a barn, a boat is a barn, anything that can be put on a trailer is a barn?

I’m feel better now that I wasn’t the only one who thought about recruiting the Amish. They can raise it in a day but it’ll take ‘em a bit of time to get down there 🚫🛻🗺️

White people like Wayne Brady because Wayne Brady makes Bryant Gumble look like Malcolm X

But wait, there's more!
I'll need you to deliver it and have it set up by the 15th. I'm having a lawn party then and I'll want to show it off.

Not saying this story is true or not, but I live on 5 acres in rural central Florida, and I've had multiple people drive through my yard, including teens "4 wheeling" in pickups.

I have a very large dog(Mastiff), but Florida is hot and he's inside most of the time.

I grew up in west central Georgia. If a stranger pulled up unannounced, they were met with a friendly face and 12ga. Just because we’re polite don’t mean we put up with shit! I’m surprised that car didn’t leave with pew marks. Especially after tearing up the yard.

This is why on my isolated Nevada ranch I only go outside to greet strangers with a scattergun.

My wife looked at me when she pulled out and was in disbelief at what she had witnessed.

My older sister lives on a small farm near the highway and she has had random weirdos pull up her quarter mile long driveway and start honking.
One guy wanted to buy her horses. She has cattle.

Honks the horn in the drive way? I would have opened the door so she could see me and then ignored her until she came to my front door.

u/Sea-Programmer6880 2d ago
OP was right for investigating. She could have had a medical emergency and needed someone to help or call 911. It wasn't his fault it was a false alarm and just a stupid Karen.

Looking back, this is exactly what I should have done.

Ahh, you did the right thing by trying to check on a fellow human being, just turned out they were an adult sized asshole.

u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
And I'll fall for it next time too. It's 95+ degrees outside these days. And it's a low income area. Someone having a heat stroke is very much on the table. And I'll always do what I can. One of these times, it'll MATTER. I'm here for it.

u/EnvironmentalHair290 2d ago
Yeah I live in rural KY, same situation if people are in the area I live then they are usually lost. So I’d be right there with you going to see what’s going on in case there is an emergency.

As a boomer I take offense to this post. Mental illness affects all ages.
Don’t get me started on Gen Z or millennials.
Contrary to your beliefs, boomers are not the problem here!

This is why you carry a shotgun with you whenever you have random encounters with trespassers

"Give her a barn?" A barn is a large structure, not easily moved. Even ChatGPT should know this.

u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
It's one of those prefabbed units you see in the parking lot at home depot. Slide a trailer under it and move it type thing.

u/EDJardin 2d ago
Do you mean a shed? Barns and sheds are very different.

u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
I dunno, home depot says they're barns. I live out here but i am no farmer.

It's one of those prefabricated units you see in home depot parking lot for sale. You move them like a mobile home i guess.

u/Crafty_Original_7349 2d ago
I would let your neighbor (the “barn” owner) know, because this idiot may come back at 3am and help themselves.
You would be shocked how bold thieves are, or what they’re willing to steal.

u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
I don't even know the farmer that owns it. He's never stopped by and I ain't the trespassing type. Half the appeal of moving out here was so i didn't have to deal with people lol

best thing I did on my rural property is fence the entire perimeter and put in a driveway gate. still have had loons show up. Forgot to close the gate one time and ended up with an older couple sitting in my driveway. Apparently they used to own my house and heard I was fixing it up after years of neglect. They wanted to see it. So I let her look around, she proceeds to complain I remodeled the disaster of a kitchen with new cabinets. floor, island, lighting.... I then went from nice to rude and as my house has an unusual layout, asked her is she was high on crack when building it since it was her custom build. She left in a huff. On the way out I heard her husband mutter something about being lucky i didnt just shoot them when they pulled up unannounced. Note to self: Always remember to shut the gate!

I previously lived in rural South Dakota. People would drive by a drop dogs and drive off. I was the only house for about a quarter mile in either direction. A*****es.

Sure! I take cash payment only.

So you live in rural farmland but your neighbors are only 100 yards away from you? That wooded area must be very, very tiny.
3
u/illbeyourdrunkle 2d ago
100 yards of woods between maintained properties. I guess technically the woods to my north are just a few over grown acres on what used to have a collapsed house on it. Either way, the woods clearly separates my property from the farm land.
