Stupid neighbor

this is a solid lesson on why a single family home > townhouse > condo > apartment

SatansFuton

I used to have an elderly woman as a neighbor, she was a lot like this neighbor sounds, and that woman damn near drove everybody in the neighborhood crazy. She called the cops on everybody in the neighborhood, including me twice. The first time I was having a Super Bowl party. It wasn't a huge party, and we certainly weren't loud, there's NO WAY she could have heard us, but she saw the cars and took it upon herself to call the cops with a noise complaint. Another time she called the cops because she saw me messing around the house around 10 at night. I basically walked out the front door, went in the gate to the back yard and took the trash bin out to the curb, then went back in the front door. Next thing I know the cops are at my door because my neighbor saw somebody "skulking around" my property.

She was sort of the self-appointed home-owner's association, going around and telling people they couldn't have "that" in their yard, and a lot of other things that weren't her business. The final straw came when somebody in the neighborhood was moving and put up some signs for a garage sale. This lady went around the neighborhood (and onto other people's property) collecting the signs which she threw in her garage. In an attempt to give her a taste of her own medicine somebody sent the cops over to give her a trespassing warning. She sort of calmed down after that and decided to focus her energy on local politics and civic matters. From then on the only time I heard from her was when she wanted me to go vote on some zoning issue or to sign a petition to not allow some business to put up a sign. She was pretty friendly after that, just took somebody turning her own game against her before she decided to mellow out.

Leave a burning bag of shit on her front door.

This is a great story ... she needed a purpose and really wasn't a bad person.
She wanted friends too.

If we were in a single family home, it still would be a problem as long as she is our neighbor and people are walking dogs.. She's a bitch.

I talked to my gf some more and she said the lady was bitching about all dog owners in the area in general, but was taking it out on her.

The lady put three signs saying "keep off lawn" in the yard today. It's rather comical because the little dry patch of lawn in this ten by twenty foot yard was barely noticeable, but now the yard looks like a militarized zone with the signs.

is this in a common area?

if so, i'd make a point to piss and shit in it. i'm a bit of dick tho.

It's a different condo building next door.. Just a little grass area in the front between the building and the street.

This sounds a lot like my neighbor.

She needs a hobby.

If she has words for me, I'm going to politely let her have it though.

remember, catch more flies with honey ...
something maybe she needs to learn too

what the world needs more of... honey

I remember in our 20's the elderly couple next door to our first home ...
they would be out and see my boy just a toddler then,
the old lady would yell "hi honey!" in a squeaky voice...
JB and I still do it to this day, 26 years later, bless her heart.
This what one wants to leave behind ... its good to be remembered fondly.
Something we all can do.

is it that hard to walk the dog somewhere else? I promise your dog won't know the difference.

Does she own the building next door? Are dogs allowed next door?

You know what's going to happen... 10 years from now, you'll be living in your own home. You will take great care of your lawn and it will still look like shit from dogs pissing on it. People will not pick up their dog crap, either, and your kid is going to step in it while out front playing with bubbles or sidewalk chalk.

I guarantee it! And you will think "ahh... now I get it!"

It would have been much quicker if you just pissed on her front door.

Did you not read my post?

Please reread and then agree with me.

I'm NOT walking the dog in her yard.

And I'm not taking the dog through the ally. There's no grass back there and the only other place to take the dog if walking that way would be to somebody else's yard.

She doesn't want us taking the dog in front of our own building. Please read carefully. Thanks.

geez...sooorrry! This is what I got hooked up on: It's a different condo building next door.. Just a little grass area in the front between the building and the street.

anyway... your building or not...it's still gonna happen!

and edit--yes, it's weird that she's concerned about a building that she doesn't live in. I will agree with that. However, she's old. Old people do weird shit and it's hard for me to get pissed off at them, no matter what. We're all gonna be old too--I will probably yell at everyone for not parking between the lines in the parking lot or something like that...

I hate to say it, but this is what you get for having a dog in the city, in a condo building no less. Our real estate is so small here in the city, its damn near rude to your neighbors to have a dog in such close quarters. I don't understand what it is with "dog" people. Can you really not understand that certain people DONT LIKE DOGS! I don't want to go to Home Depot and have some ass running his bulldog through the aisles. When I get in an elevator, I dont want a dog sniffing at my feet! If you really want a healthy, happy and well liked animal, move to the suburbs where you can have a yard and your dog can shit all he wants were he wants. I live in a single family home and my neighbor has two HUGE fucking dogs, and she keeps them in the house no less. They bark all night, she lets them shit in her back yard without cleaning it up for a few days and the smell is rotten! But guess what, its her property and I can't do shit about it.......RUDE!

Maybe your neighbor is just sick and tired of seeing your dog take a shit next door to her building several times a day........

your move now

mike vic? is that you?

(Just kidding).

I'm not a dog person either. my neighbors had a beagle that they would leave outside and it would bark all fucking night. I went over to their house at 3 am in my underwear and told them I'd call animal control if he barked again. I haven't seen the dog since.

I'm a "cat" person, but have a dog. It's mostly my girlfriends.

I live in the city, but on the border. I live in a suburban like part of the city where most people have good sized yards and every other neighbor a dog.. I researched and made sure I found a place that allows dogs. There are other dogs in my complex.. My dog shits once or twice a day, and I'm sure it's well past this lady's bed time. I clean it up as the dog shits. My dog isnt a barker. I've heard her bark once or twice briefly in the past 3 months.. This lady doesn't have to be within 25 feet of my dog at any given time... And the corner of her yard isn't yellow because dogs are pissing in it.. We are in a drought.

It is a very dog friendly area. She's taking the fact that families walk their pets in front of her building out on my gf because she came across her. She also lied and said it was illegal to take the dog in front of our building.

That said, before i had any pets, I've lived in a part of the city with no yards, and every other home had a dog. If you can't get along with other humans or pets, or what not, you should probably find yourself a nice bunker someplace.

Fortunately, most humans I come across are intent on stopping in their tracks and making sure they pet my dog. I actually try to avoid people for that reason sometimes if I'm in a hurry or don't feel like socializing.


I'm in the process of buying a condo that allows dogs.. Fortunately it has a deck and I'm going to experiment with placing an area of sod for her to do her business out there. It's in a location no one will be able to see or smell.. God forbid she ever decides to smell a passerbyers feet. :roll:
