neighbor from hell
i only have a few neighbors but the new one is a piece.
here is what i think has fueld the fire. they bought the house behind me and had to do a lot of work on it. while working on it, they left garbage outside. my dogs do go over there all the time because the previous owner played with them, and all the workers working on the house play with them, i guess you know where it is going, but, my dogs did not get into their garbage. we have a lot of wild animlas around and there and there are also 2 other dogs that must have gotten into it because i keep my dogs inside and those dogs got the garbage out of the back of my truck. well the b^&*) came over and complained to my 12 year old son and threatened him saying we need to keep our dogs tied up, we kinda live in the country. well, this happened again except the dog schredded styrofome all over the yard. not ours again. the other neighbors dog can be destrcutive. we had asked earlier if the kids could continue to walk thru their yard to get to their friends house and they said yes. well that all ended the other day. he( he is a very nice guy and i think this is all from his girlfriend) said the kids can no longer go thru his yard. his insurance will cancel him if there are kids in the yard and his girl friend (and him) dont want them in there. now the big problem is there is one girl that walks thru his yard and mine to get to the bus stop, otherwise it is a mile walk for her. they said tough, she cant go thru. yesterday me and the wife walked around and down their road. my dog followed but went thru their yard, the lady came out and yelled at my daughter to get the dog off her property. they have lived there a week and have the 4 or 5 neighbors she has close by hating her. she also told someone down the street my wife is a ***** when she has only talked to her once, and that one conversation my wife was telling them about the damage the previous owner did to the house. the guy is a real nice guy though. he would not look me in the eye when telling me this, and after i went at cut out his grape vines for him, i tell ya, it soooo hard not to do things back, but some people just bring out the bad in ya. i have told the wife to be nice, maybe his eyes will be opened before he marries her. |
My experience is that good fences make good neighbors...
|
Yep. What pwd72 said. I have a neighbor from hell who decided to tell me what he would and would not do on my lot next to his. I put up a fence and sent him a letter telling him to stay off and what he planned to do would now be a crime.

Approx. 250 feet of fence completely solved my "bad neighbor" problem. It was expensive, but worth every penny!
|
adding a one mile foot commute to kid's walk isnt cool.

go buy him some nuts...
watch your dog... Rika |
A fence seems like the best solution. Make it really ugly on their side.
It's a good idea to keep your dogs on your property. A neighbor spent many $$ on vet bills after his dog got into trash at a construction site. The workers had tossed a bunch of KFC chicken bones out on the ground. There was no malice intended on their part, but it isn't their responsibility to do what's best for your dog. If you've got a dog hater in the neighbor hood, malice might be intended. |
here is there house and the the damn that connects them. the guy was out there try to cut down that ugly grape vine with hand snips and a wood saw. so iwent over with the chain saw and cut the stuff out for him.
he is a really nice guy, i think the girlfriend is just one major *****. thing is, she does not look nearly good enough to be that big of one, although compared to him, i might be able to see why it puts up with it. but who knows, she might be nice to him......yea right. she does not want anyone on her property but she will walk over on the other neighbors property adn feed their horses, without their permisson, and tiffany does not like people feeding her horse. http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1356545071.jpg http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1356545095.jpg |
OJU, OJU, where are you?????? We need a fence REAL FAST in baby poo green and Mr. Snuggles to stand guard and supervise......Si!:D

i only have a few neighbors but the new one is a piece.
here is what i think has fueled the fire. We recently moved into our new house; we had to do a lot of work on it. while working on it, we were forced to leave some construction trash outside. Apparently our neighbors dogs are -very familiar- for some reason with our house, and wander over here all the time. They're nice dogs, and we pet them, but it is a bit tiresome every single day. i guess you know where it is going, but, the past few mornings we've woken up and the garbage has been strewn all over the property. I'm not sure if it's wild animals or my neighbor's dogs. One thing I do know, however: It's not MY dogs. I just feel that the road to a solution for our garbage predicament starts with ALL the neighbors controlling their dogs for a while. I walked over to the neighbors and tried to explain my feelings to the neighbor boy. He's only about 12 and he just stared at his shoes and then ran inside. Apparently his parents weren't home, otherwise they would have come out to talk. I hope to try again in a few days. So, the next night, guess what? Garbage cans turned over again and styrofoam all over the yard. My neighbor with the dogs running loose denied everything, of course, and blamed the other dogs across the street. Again, I'm not sure yet, but what I DO know is that it's not MY DOGS. I DON'T OWN ANY DOGS. I'M TIRED OF DOGS EATING MY TRASH and making a mess all over the yard. I don't want to buy a $500 lockable dumpster when my neighbor could just control his dogs. Funny thing is, we've tried to be really accommodating to this neighbor. He asked if his girls could cut across our property to get to the bus stop, and we said "of course, that's just fine." Unfortunately, we need to wake this guy up about the dog problem, so for now we have told him the kids can no longer go thru our yard. In addition, I don't feel comfortable with the girls walking through the woods; If they get hurt, I could have an insurance problem. There's also another neighbor girl who cuts through the yard to get to the bus stop, so to be fair we've had to put a stop to that for the time being as well. Yesterday this neighbor from hell and his wife were walking down the road with their dog and, what do you know? The dog immediately started walking through our yard, headed straight for the trash cans. Neighbor didn't think anything of it, and gave me a nasty look when I went outside and asked him to control his dog. It's almost like he's just being a prick and doing it on purpose now. We've only lived here a week but the stress is overwhelming. I feel like everyone hates me. In fact, the dog-neighbor lady came over here and was telling me about all the things the previous owner had done to damage the house. It was a really strange conversation. I thought it was so strange that I mentioned this to one of the other neighbors. Apparently the dog-neighbor man was also talking to my fiancee' and complaining about what a bad person I am. I guess the other neighbor I was talking to must have told the dog-neighbors how upset I was. So maybe we're about even in that regard. I feel like this is some fcked up version of "Desperate Housewives." I don't understand how grown people can act like this to each other, regardless of fault or blame. |

Shouldn't this thread be merged into the "Concealed or Open Carry" thread? :)

+1 on good fences. You cannot have it both ways. If that girl has to walk a mile to school, that's life if she can't walk thru somebody else's yard. Then her parents will have to drive her. Hate to stereotype but most of the a....h....s in our neighborhood are women. Some day your neighbor may come to his senses with that b...ch. But probably not. I don't get it. If the woman is a b....ch, then I would stand up to her but not everybody is like me. Many men suffer in silence living with strong women who rule the roost and abuse the heck out of their man. :eek:

I hope a cartoon reenactment is in the works.

Yes your dogs should be fenced in . I would not want dogs roaming around on our property coming from somewhere else. I see both sides. Try and see it from the neighbors point of view.
Robert Frost was right on. |
as someone that has not had dogs until just a few years ago, i AM the same way. animals should be controlled. i have had more dogs in my yard than i care to think about, and mostly taking a dump, but i look at where i live, more or less in the country, and i am about trying to get along, so i lived with it. when it comes down to it, some battles are not worth fighting.
my dog is OCD when it comes to a ball, and they have played with my dogs, so now what do you do when they have encouraged my dogs to come over and play, then they turn ***** about it. if there was something within reason i could do to keep my dog in my yard, i would. i have too much property to put up a fence that would keep them in, and im not going to chain them up. (the one was abused when we got it. if you put her on a chain, she stands there and shakes in fear). if my dogs had gotten into their garbage, i would have gone over and cleaned it up, but she had no proof, because they did not live in the house at the time. we also have an overabundane of coyotes, who is to say it was not one of them. as for the girl walking to the bus stop. she lives at the end of that road behind me, so i dont think there is even any place for a bus to turn around. i juist dont understand why you would not let a girl walk through your yard to the bus stop, its not like they have an award winning yard, in fact, where she walks was a road a few years ago. part of this thrread is, i just dont understand her. why make so many enemies when you first move in? where we live we do things for each other. i cut the neighbors grass, work on their AC, fix things, fix fences, i even cut down that mess for him, and what do we get in return? |
that property is HUGE!! i bet a dog takes a dump out there, your chances of even finding it with the bottom of your shoe is remote.
is "taking the high road" an option? i mean, go over there with a tray of food..or wine and talk it out. maybe she is just being a total beotch because the stresses of moving are wearing on her. (i rarely take the high road, just saying) |
Look into More than a dog fence, it's freedom & safety - Invisible FenceŽ Brand
how much of an area would your daughter transverse to get to school? offer to lease it for x many years and to add it into our home owners? Mean people suck. I'm sure that she will find out more things to complain about |

you guys arent getting the issue. they did not have any problems originally , then the girl gets her panties in a wad over something that my dogs did NOT do, so she is being a ***** about everything she can think of and one of those things is not letting the kids go back and forth. we talked about the dogs before they noved in, they had no problem, we asked if the kids could cut through their yard, they said not a problem. if she had come over and talked to me instead of complaining to a 12 year old boy, i would have explained that our dogs stay inside at night and that jack is the guilty party, i might have even suggested she put her garbage in a can instead of on the ground. i could even understand if she said keep the dogs out of my yard, which i would have respect for, but WHY punish the kids? |
How are those horses corralled?
