Couch

So our couch and loveseat came (very nice) and while the movers were really good about putting the furniture where we wanted it and unwrapping it, they were not so good about removing the wrappings from the front walk where they tossed them. So we had to wrangle all the plastic wrap and padding and corrugated cardboard into a managable pile to dispose of later. As we were doing this, a guy passed by slowly riding his bike on the sidewalk, almost stopping, and openly stared at us as he rode over to our next door neighbor's house where another guy was in the front yard. Then they both stared at us, folding and stomping down the cardboard and pushing the plastic wrap into a bag.

Quiere algo? I yelled at them.

No, the guy on the bike yelled back.

Okay then, I said.

When we got back into the house Mr. Coqui asked me what I had said, and I told him it meant "You want something?"

"You should be nicer to our neighbors," he said.

"They were staring at us!" I said. I'm not going to not say anything if they're going to be all rude and stare at us like that.

Am I wrong?
