Today we have a great courtesy to our longtime friend and neighbor Heinz: He was yesterday unexpectedly on our doorstep and asked if anyone of us knows well about computers and software?
My dad pointed to me and I found out that he has some problems on his laptop and that some software has been reinstalled - but he does not see through software installation and usually has someone to help him, but he was positively disappointed by him never came even though he had assured him.
In a nutshell: My neighborly help extended to a good 2 hours of work. And when he asked me all seriously, "And how much do you get for your work now?", I was shocked that Heinz thinks I would take money from neighborly help from good friends!
I answered him that I can't accept that. Whereupon he invited me and his parents for lunch on Saturday with his wife Anna.
Therefore my question to you: How do you judge my decision?
I'm for my work colleagues and neighbors also the contact person as far as mobile phones and computers are concerned. I never ask for it, but I accept things that they impose on me…
For example, my colleagues sometimes give me a lunch or a neighbor baked some cake for me. If you still want to invite to eat, then it's quiet… I would not have asked for money in your place.
Well, if he wants to give something of himself, then you can accept that calmly. Unless it's really thick.
But otherwise it is not wrong if he puts you NEN 20. Das das schon.nachbarschafts hilfe or not.
Things cost money in life. Except he also does a lot for you. Is always a give and take in life.
because otherwise you come to people who only take and give nothing if you do not tell them.
But eating for 100 euro is a bit over the top.
Please do not misunderstand me now, but with the following statement: "that's all right Neighborly help or no…, & things cost money in life", I could start a policy discussion with you!
Because I'm certainly not greedy! And neighborly help is with me: Heinz and Anna definitely stay for free!
And further we help each other Mutual! There are several things where we help each other out! It has also happened a few times, where the car of our neighbors for a few days in the workshop was and I must say that the two are already retired and only this own a car and Mama offered with their car the two to the supermarket in drive the next town!
It always depends on the situation and the circumstances. I do not know your relationship. But in the end it's your decision. It's from the outside for someone who does not know you swiftly to judge. I just meant it basically, and that has nothing to do with money cool.
I also have an older gentleman than neighbors, for whom I drive or with him somewhere. And there it is not wrong that he refueled. My driving service he gets like that, but the car has to be refueled.
According to your speech, I suspect that you are a little younger, and have not yet learned how people really are. I can write you a book.
Thank you. Something like lunch or coffee and cake, I think that you can accept so that the friends are not completely offended.
If you want to know it honestly: I will on 17.06. 17 years. And furthermore, I'm glad that all around we have nice and good neighbors!
Unfortunately, I hear again and again that people with their neighbors are constantly in dispute. And I just think that's a pity! Because if not even the neighborly help something counts: What then?
Yes, such values are no longer valid today. The people are funny. And get upset over small things out of envy or malice.
That's what you experience over and over again. That's why you can judge the best how it is with you. And if it is ok for you, so does not speak against it.
In your old age I also repaired the radios and so on. There were no pc's or handy's.
I tell you quite honestly, I ask for many things no money or expect it, but since I'm currently unemployed, I'm glad about every cent I get. But if it does not then I'm not wrong. But I do not want your future, then it was still anderest, but in the last time everything was worse, and you have the whole life before you. I'm with my almost 50'm soon rum.ich I do not want to scare you. But remember in 15 years of what I wrote. You will not recognize the world again.
Well, you will see and if I will recognize the world in 15 years!
Can also be 20 years. Heheheh.
Yes, who knows if I will live then! Hehehe
Because an accident like an electric shock often happens faster than you can dream!
What. If you are not climbing on trains, you will live a few more years.
No, certainly not on trains! Because the train that goes to us to Puchberg Diesel is driven!
But I mean broken cable drums in the summer! I know how an electric shock and cardiac arrest feel with near-death experience!
Well then you must have baarfüssig sure in a puddle, and the circuit was not protected with a FI circuit breaker.
I was barefoot and the meadow was wet! And why the FI switch has not triggered, is still a mystery to me today!
Yes then be happy. I used to be an electrician earlier, I have often had electricity. Luckily never got stuck.
Yes, I'm too! I, by contrast, got stuck on the drum and shrank like a delinquent on death row!
I can tell you: that was pain!
Totally normal.
If you like to give, but expect nothing, but still get something, the reward and thanks are enough.
Here neighborhood lives daily as you describe it in a small individual case.
You help yourself and everyone gives back what they can do.
Money is not everything, shared time and shared time brings the necessary closeness to develop understanding for each other.
