Stupid Neighbors
 

So I recently moved into a new house, and know the majority of my neighbors. This one guy directly next to me, never says anything to my family and basically ignores us...fine I get the message no problem, everyone else has been great.

So yesterday my landscaper came and got my property ready for the spring/summer and completely re-landscaped and cleaned the entire property.

Today Im watching as this guy is using his leaf blower to blow all my new mulch and all the debris from his property onto my driveway. It goes all over my previously completely clear driveway, and three cars in the driveway...one which just got back from the car wash.

Im trying to be a good neighbor...so I go over to the guy while he is still blowing stuff right into my driveway, and I say excuse me, could you try to refrain from getting it directly onto my cars and property. He replies...too bad, your landscaper blew it all over my property two weeks ago, so thats why I did it. You should have told them not to blow it onto my property...Which I wouldn't know because im out you know WORKING...if you weren't a freaking complete socially degenerate moron you would know that, and speak to me like a decent human and not a total piece of garbage. So I ask if this is truly how he intends to reply, and he just laughs, so I called him a **** and walked away...I was just going to ask him to stop doing it, but this is ridiculous. I wanted to get my leaf blower and blow it right back, but instead I swept it into a nice pile and put it right in front of his driveway neatly.

Wondering what you guys may have done in a similar situation.

Unlike an apartment where you can pack up and move at the end of a lease I would try my best to ignore him. Some people are nuts nowadays, some just trying to cope with life, bills, stress, health issues etc. As a non confrontational person I would just let it be. Dispose of the leaves and be done with it. You now know what your working with. Sweeping them up in a neat lil pile in front of his driveway just says I can be a butthole too...now your turn. Crap like that never ends. Dont get me wrong it woukd piss me off too. But just trash the leaves and go about your business. You and he are there to stay a bit so make it work by ignoring childish stuff like that. Just my $.02. Your 370Z neighbor who doesn't wnat to hear of you being shot over a few dirty cars and leaves in the driveway.

Well i has the best answer.

I see that you have fast intentions CBE and ART pipes.
Well wait till about 3 am , get your car lined up in his drive way and well you know what to do.

Good luck OP.

I'm a huge believer in killing with kindness, positive energy is really hard to fight with. I would have asked if I could help him with the cleaning because the debris was going over your property. With that approach you probably would have learned about your landscaper with out him having such a defensive reaction, as I'm sure he's not happy about your landscaper as well. Remember he's your neighbor and he's not going anywhere anytime soon so you guys should be friendly, pun intended.

Sadly its a house...All he would have to do is mention it happened and I would ask my landscaper, but this guy...what a jerk.

This all makes perfect sense, I think my penis is preventing me from picking up the pile...

Ofcourse a fu*king angel would say some hippy bullsh!t like that. Now squish him and listen to the devil on your other shoulder....

But yeah, unless you're willing to invest in a lot of bleach, plastic sheeting, and a large Persian rug.... Make nice. The douchebag isn't going anywhere and escalating usually ends with bright red and blue lights all over the neighborhood.

hes lucky im not his neighbor.

LMBO..love the honesty and i totally agree. No pissing contest bro.. I'm sure yours is bigger. Let it go and save the build up for when his dogs leaves a load of crap on your porch:happydance:

Especially doesnt count because from what ive been told, he is a cop around 55 yrs old...not saying he fits a stereotype but meh

I cant wait, I have two German Shepherds that are full of crap ...Just wish I could go out there and pick that crap up, I just...cant...I call this progress though, all I said was he is a **** outloud

LoL too funny, I have had similar situations, trust me it is hard to bite your tongue. I walk around my yard with my firearm on my outside the waistband holster, play my music extremely loud, yell at the sky for no reason sometimes especially when its really quiet, rev the $%^ out of my car in the garage with the door open so it makes a sonic boom effect, answer my door semi naked, make bon fires in my back yard, set my sprinklers to turn on and adjusted them to spray toward the street when people walk their dog in front of my house (we live on well water it smells horrible).

Oh yeah I am a devious SOB yet my neighbors all love me, bring me toys for my kid, give me their old stuff before they toss it or sell it, always come to me for advice on house work etc etc. We have get togethers parties and BBQ's from time to time. I am the youngest home owner in this part of of the city. It is really boring here, but very safe.

What I would do if I were you is speak to all the other neighbors about the situation, ask them how they would proceed and if they have ever encountered a problem with the leaf blower douche before. Just don't bring yourself to his level, the minute you do, he knows he has got you. If you completely ignore him and never acknowledge his ignorance he will eventually give up being an $*%. He can not get under your skin. He might need your help one day or vice versa for an emergency and those bridges you want to do your best to keep them intact for your own personal safety and well as your family.

Anyway good luck.:tiphat:

This thread is freakin hilarious!!!

Fence up! It fixes 99% problems

I've had problems with my neighbors, so I'm not defending your neighbor here. But you are responsible for what your landscaper did. Your neighbor has proven to be passive-aggressive and more than willing to escalate relatively minor incidents. Such escalations won't end well for anyone involved.

If I were you, I'd learn from this experience and try to avoid further confrontations with the guy. And I'd have a long discussion with anyone doing work on your property advising them to be neighborly toward your neighbors, and when they are done, I'd inspect not only my property but adjacent properties as well.

Good luck.

Gonna chime in here.

So basically set him up.

Call some hookers to his place, and explain that "Im gonna deny I called you but this is part of the plan for the incredible orgasms which will proceed shortly"

Heres the kicker, make sure they are underage.

Then call the cops, saying that you think your neighbor is soliciting and making kid porn.

But before you do ANY of this here are a couple things you need to do.

Plant the evidence, make sure you plant some kid porn in and around his house, then find a picture of him, post it on craigslist saying your looking for up and coming porn stars, and willing to pay for the some photos.

Photoshop some photos, put it in a manilla folder and stuff it in his mailbox and everything addressed to him from fake addresses.

Then watch as all of this unfolds.

When your neighbor goes, "ASK MY NEIGHBOR IM NOT A BAD GUY"

All you gotta say is.

Sir he has harassed many young children around the neighborhood and I was waiting to report it but thank God that I didnt have too, I also think he has a gun.

Boom.

Done.

You win.

:shakes head:

The neighbor is the cop, you already lost.

No....you win for posting the stupidest post I've read on these boards. Regardless if you're kidding, this does not belong here. :shakes head:

I take it you've never met Minsu. He's a special kind of... well, we're still not sure what.:rofl2:

Greeting's brother Duc,

both Minsu and you Duc are my forum brothers, even with all the
advancements in modern medicine in reading Minsu's post tonight
I have to throw in some added prayer's for him.

-Clifford :tup:

I've never met him but from reading his posts, he's clearly off the richter scale. I do enjoy most of his posts, however, it crossed the line with his kiddie porn garbage.

I have to be honest here, was not expecting that post from Minsu or anyone for that matter. But it was meant it a jokingly manner I believe. It made me laugh hysterically I had to show my wife, she laughed as well. It reminded me of the time when the guy the jumped on the hood of someones car to try to stop them and get their insurance info. I did not want to laugh but I could not help it.

Was kiddie porn too much?

Ok lets replace that with horse porn.

But you would have to buy him the horse first.

I didnt know it was you who decided what belonged and what didnt.

Thanks for the heads up, ill make sure to PM you before I post anything.

:stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot::s tirthepot::stirthepot::stirthepot:

Sometimes it's ok to cut your losses.

Leave a dead rat on his porch

I can see the cop posting a thread somewhere called "Stupid new neighbors" :rofl2:

Kindness never works, but guess what does? Blackmail . tell his wife he's having a affair, and pay a hooker 100 bucks to confirm. thatll teach the little bastard.

I think this is what Minsu was trying to say xD

Option two would be buying him a Glazed Donut.

WTF are you guys a bunch of Boy Scouts??? I would've shoved that leaf blower up his azz and blew shiit out of his mouth. Don't take that crap from him, he's standing there blowing dirt on your house and your cars while your standing there................

If me, I would go over with a box of donuts, tell the guy I'm sorry for the mess (even if I don't really mean it) tell him it's a peace offering and let him know I intend to make sure my landscaper won't leave a mess on his yard again. You may or may not gain some respect from him for trying to be a good neighbor, but at least he won't see you as a total **** and make your life a living hell. Making enemy with your cop neighbor isn't a smart move IMO.

Just go find someone with a big boat and have them park it right next to the property line.

Modern family did this and I think I would loose my mind if someone did that to me.

I hope you gave the landscapers a bad review and fired them. they are the ones who started it. I would now start doing my own yard. wish you well

Minsu, while that is interesting, its probably not the best approach.

I cant see myself bringing him a peace offering after he basically told me to go F myself.

Pile of leaves I swept up is still sitting in the street in front of his house.

He also is allied with all the neighbors as I didnt realize I was moving into Mayfield where everyone was bff4eva. Im sure hes already smack talked me to everyone around here like I was the bad guy. I try to mind my own business...I don't make tons of noise, this guy obviously looks for things to be pissed off about, considering he harbored this anger for two weeks before he took his revenge. I work most times as I am always on call and often not home, yet he thinks I keep tabs on all the lazy tendencies of my gardener that I never even met.

Now, do I even bother to tell the gardener to stop, or let him keep on blowing all he wants!

Unexpected deliveries are the best. Especially if you are willing to pay for them. I know a contractor who once paid for 3 yards of pea gravel delivered to his neighbor's driveway. Told the delivery guy to just dump it there since he wouldn't be home :icon17:

Other things like food are always good. Try to get three or more delivery drivers from different places to show up at the same time :tup:

There are definitely 2 ******** in this game. :hello:

Your landscaper is blowing the trash from your yard into his, and pissing him off. Sure, he should have come over and told you about it, instead of blowing **** all over your yard, but you're really not helping anything, are you?

Who started it? Your dumbass landscaper. If I were you I'd do what it took to make it right.

I doubt there was much forethought on the part of the landscaper, and im sure it wasnt half as bad as this jerk, who blew all of the new mulch I had just had put down and all his old leaves and debris onto my driveway. Then when asked if he could not do it basically told me...sucks to be you, tough.

My landscaper does great work, if a few leaves got on this psychos driveway, I am having a really hard time 'rising above' this. I would rather just do nothing, aside from asking the landscaper to more careful since my neighbor is a clown.

Did I forget to mention this same neighbor told me not to park in the street as it disturbs his view to the curb. I overlooked that as I figured he was just weird, so I park there whenever my Z comes out of the garage, and he always seems to come outside just as im pulling out. Weirdos.

Makes me think of this video, just not even close to as bad.

If I were a bookmaker, I'd have the cop as a heavy favorite.

:drama:

Use a public computer to subscribe him to ridiculous things at his address. Gay porn toy catalogs are good. Freaky magazines can be fun as well. The internet is full of good ideas :tup:
