pesky neighbor

...he's too "friendly"... always asking favors, overly familial.... truth be told he's an officious snot. Wife is nice, their 5y.o. twins are hell on wheels - constant tantrums - we call 'em demon spawn.... we share a driveway and our houses are 10' apart so don't want to start any sort of a feud.... but he's really getting on our nerves.... any ideas?

Eat a lot of beans, and fart a lot when he's around.

Get one of those apps for your phone. When he is around have the app "call" you and then say OH MY GOD, look at him and say I have to go. If he asks you about that later act like he is crazy and you have no idea what he is talking about. Then yell our a random word like elephant! and go on like nothing happened.

Just say weird crap to him when he tries to talk to you then he'll ignore you. That what my neighbor does to me so I ignore him.

Make up a new total gibberish language off the cuff. Like Latka on the old Taxi series, or speak only in Klingon!

Be polite and professional but distant in your dealings with him. Set clear boundaries. Don't be overly familiar with him and don't let him get overly familiar with you. Don't sit around chit chatting with him or exchanging favors. Do not let him encroach on your boundaries, physical or metaphoric. Don't be afraid to say please leave now, I have something I want to do alone.

And hit on his wife on Facebook.

Tell him you are a Pastafarian and share the Flying Spaghetti Monster with him. Be sure to wear the colander helmet.

Invite them over for drinks. Then have lots of religious literature laying around and say grace (holding hands) before eating.
