WWYD? Neighbor rant

[*iluvskipper*]

i don't like your neighbor. he sounds ****mEaN****!!!! (and annoying)

Did you explain that you were on the way back with a poop bag? I just find that with people like this its best to ignore them. If he disturbs you at night with his car call the police.

Is your yard fenced in?

If not, perhaps you can fence it in (if you own the house) so your dog won't go over to their yard anymore. I wouldn't want them to hurt your dog. Not sure if they're the type of people to do something like that. Also, that would keep their kids out of your yard. Not sure about the cats. I think there is a spray that you can spray your yard with, that keeps cats out but doesn't have an effect on dogs.

I'm a firm believer that fences make better neighbors.

I wouldn't call the landlord because they might find out you called and do something mean to you or your dog.

Good luck.

That's what I was thinking too. Even as far as calling the police about the noise I would hesitate because around here you have to give your name if you lodge a complaint and I wouldn't want this guy mad at me. I hate confrontations too. I had a next door neighbor for years that I couldn't stand. The first week they were here they complained that they found dog poop in their front yard and assumed it was my dog's, and it actually was the dog across the street who had done it and I knew that. I didn't even bother trying to explain. I figured that when you are here one week and already complaining things are not going to get better.

I guess you will probably have to grin and bear it. For years I lived next to these ignorant people and eventually they moved to Florida. I feel sorry for the folks down there. Hopefully your neighbors won't be there too long. It sounds like they aren't the kind to put down roots.

Next time you find cat poop fill the bag and send it home with the grand brat . Maybe a nice ribbon on the bag would be a nice touch.
I fix barking dogs buy tape recoprding it and calling at about 3 am and play it back truck noise would be good too.

that's a good thought too - lol
cept I don't know their names (don't want to) so I don't have their number.

yea I don't think they will be here long either.
The goofy neighbor I mentioned at first has 2 dogs that run the neighborhood a lot especially the younger one - he has gotten caught so much by the dog warden that he just brings him back and chains him back up. His dogs get into my trash and string it all around my yard and his dogs poop in other's yards too - I am sure that even I keep Keeg out of his yard or pick up after her we will get blamed. Keeg isn't going to get to enjoy her yard much now since she just assumes that it is all "her's" and she isn't welcome.
The next time one of his grandkids rides their bike thru my yard tho - I WILL say something -
I have a pretty good relationship with the most of the cops in this town due to work so I'm not worried about retaliation and you don't have to give your name for a complaint. Actually one of the cops lives just down the street from these yutzes so its possible HE may have already said something to them about the noise and that is why I haven't heard it much - that's what happened with one family that lived there - b/n the revving of the engine and the loud music coming from them - he ended up saying something to them - not that it helped. I should have stepped up to the plate when those people lived there but I fell into the trap of 'not wanting to get involved' it will be something I regret always. I heard him screaming at his kid he was "f-ing stupid" for making a mistake while they were making a SNOWMAN! And then my other (good) neighbor heard him calling his wife's daughter an F-ing B-----!!! I should have called the cops or children's services then but hindsite is 20/20. I regret it to this day.

No I didn't I guess I assumed they would be smart enough to figger it out -
he he - guess I was giving them the beneifit of the doubt they don't deserve.
Donna - I was afraid of what would happen to the animals too -
No the yard isn't fenced as much as I would love it - I do own my house and property but a fence is a considerable expense that I can't afford at this time.
Funny how when I am home those are the nites they don't cause a lot of noise - its apparently when I am at work.
Actually I was going to pretend to want to rent the house and mention that I had pets and ask the policy and then say well the people there have a bunch of them. Then give a fake number. Immature I know...

Shaismom,

They all sound like a bunch of whackjobs. I'd let this biatch know what you've got on them as far as the "no pets" policy is concerned. My biggest concern would be what would happen to the animals if they should get evicted. I'd be afraid of them moving out in the middle of the night and leaving the animals behind.

As far as the idiot revving his engine, there are noise ordinances. Everytime he does it, call the cops.

Good luck.
