someone i don't know blocks my driveway, i will drag it off the property. did that one winter. we had a heavy snowfall and some **** parked blocking half my drive on the street. street was plowed and they left it there and got a ride with someone else. it was nice fluffy powder snow so 30k strap looped under rear axle of pos minivan, and dragged back ~100' to a point where it was blocking no driveways. probably not the best on the parking pawl, but no one saw me do it at 0300am... the 6.5td tahoe in low range did a good job [brand new goodyear at/s' under it]

 

I think everyone has some kind of idiot neighbor. Some of us are just lucky enough to live a couple houses away from them. I had a problem back about a year ago. I have/had two suzuki samurai's. One is now a rockcrawler. The other one I bought and got ripped off on. It was taken apart when I bought it from someone I know. Supposedly had a good tranny and engine. They were both bad. So I decided I would part the entire thing out. I started doing this on a weekend. Had the whole thing disassembled within a week. Well this gave some sorry neighbor, I still don't know which one, enough grounds to call the county on me due to a junk car law. The law says it has to run or has to have a good tag on it. I got a letter in the mail saying I had 7 days to move it or it would be removed from my property. The second samurai was gone but the rockcrawler project had not yet made it's way into my shop. I spoke to the county man and he said he had seen the rockcrawler sittin there. He said he wasn't looking to cause trouble and wasn't gonna say anything about it. My neighbor had to start something. The guy from the county told me to cover it up and I would be ok. So I did this for a couple weeks til I got it in the shop. I spoke with a neighbor that I have known for a long time (I know he didn't call on me) and told him that things could get really bad if the neighbors want to be hard to get along with. He told the neighbor near him (who I feel was the problem) what I had said. I still live with my parents and had talked to my dad about it. We agreed that we were gonna start filling the yard with farm equipment and trucks. Together we have 10 tractors, 5 trailers, close to 20 trucks that are running, a dumptruck, and loads of various unsightly implements, which are all kept at my grandmothers house. The same week there was a round baler, a hudson equipment trailer, and a gooseneck trailer parked in my yard. Once the neighbor realized that my yard was about to turn into a used farm equipment yard and carlot, because nothing can be said about farm equipment, I have not had any more problems.

 

I've wanted to do that so many times

 

So have I!!! The only problem is just my luck I'd get in trouble for doing it..........and they could easily pin it on me.........I have the only truck on my block that could even pull anything!!! Everybody else has minivans and hondas!

My compliments to you on such inventive thinking.

One would think that maybe you have done this before.

 

I agree. I absolutely HATE neighbors. When I used to live with my parents back before I moved to college we lived next to some very upper class people. They drove mercedes and BMW's and stuff and they'd always give me nasty looks and try and start stuff cause I would chance my own oil in front of my house. One night one of them called the cops on me saying I was doing 50 through the neighborhood when in fact I was doing 25. Heaven forbid my truck sounds faster than it really was. I hate neighbors. My parents now live on 22 acres and the closest neighbor is about an acre away. THANK GOD.

I went and talked to the land lord today. I told them the situation and they told me no problem and that they'll take care of it. I also mentioned that if it happens again I'd call the cops. I don't like to involve them on stuff like this cause I know they have better things to do but this is stupid. If I hadn't been alone I would have started some stuff but the guy outweighs me by about 100lbs of muscle so I'm not stupid. I am tired of being nice. I've done everything in my power to be nice to this guy but he apparently wants to play hardball which I'm all for. If he does it again I'm gonna stomp right back and get him to the door again if I can and this time I'm gonna flat out tell him to screw off and that the cops are on their way. I would love to accomodate him, I really would. I'm that kinda guy. But I'm not going to go to bed earlier or waking up later just because it wakes him up. I could understand if I threw wild parties and was annoyingly loud but I don't. Heck, last night I couldn't even laugh at my favorite show (Becker) because I didn't wanna wake him up. I think I'll be a little noisier when I wake up at 6 tomorrow morning.

Ugh. I guess you just can't make everybody happy but you sure as hell can make them mad. Time for the fun to begin.

 

Seems like we've always had problems with our neighbors. When I was younger my dad used to mow the yard at midnight just to be a <edit>.

 

Many moons ago when I was in college, my roomate and I had a similar neighbor, except we were in a basement apartment, and they lived above us. They would stomp on the floor because they thought we were sweeping the tile floor too loudly!

The day we moved out, we started early in the morning. I borrowed my Dad's pickup and it took us about 5 trips to get everything moved. Right before we left with the first load, I put a 45 on the stereo. You are probably too young to remember, but music used to come on vinyl records . I programmed the stereo to repeat the record until I stopped it. It took us about 5 hours to get everything moved, and I didn't stop the record while we were there getting the next loads. Oh, did I mention we cranked the volume up pretty loud. Needless to say, the stereo was one of the last things we moved.

Oh, by the way, the song was by Billy Joel. The title ......."I'm moving out."

 

We're on a small farm(34 acres) here where I'm at and we had one of the neighbors object to use building our morton building. Tried getting a petion for the other neighbors to sign, the whole nine yards. Made a pain out of themselves. Even got the town officials involved.

So, we did something a stepup from mowing the lawn early in the morning. We ground feed saturday morning at the back of the property next to them instead of down by the other barns. Dad told them straight that if they didn't stop complaining about it they would have about 50 pigs right next door to them and there wouldn't be a thing they could do about. New Jersey Right to Farm Act.

 

Sorry but I must dissagree with you. If it is a subdivision, it is probably 25mph limit, 35 is too fast in a subdivision especialy driving a 7000Lb+ truck, Your neighbors have a legit complaint, slow down, it wont kill you and who knows it may actualy save a life.

 

had a jerk neighbor who had built a house illegally, had the nerve to complain about my friends' 60x40 shop where we build our big trains for a hobby. called the county to say we were running a business, county guy shows up, recognizes us from the train park he takes his kids to get rides from us for free. so we tell him about the house. he investigates, cites them, and they continue to hassle us. so..........

I dumped 5 gallons from my rv black water tank into a bucket and very late one night, poured it on his drain field. the next morning friend called the health dept to say he was taking a walk, and smelled sewage. that afternoon, there was a do not occupy notice on his house!!!

better off leaving the good neighbors alone. sorry tyler, wait your month, and move out late at night and very loudly. have a going away party and invite him.

 

I guess we agree to disagree then. They should have a sign up with the posted limit if they want to enforce something, and plus the same neighbors that complain, i know drive as fast as I do. You know. I guess if they werent so hateful about it, it would set much better with me. Im a person that treats people with respect, but only if they treat me with respect. If they wanted to get something accomplished, then they would have done that. Plus, all she is worried about is her little dogs. They dont even have any kids living with them. And actually, her daughter was with her when she told dad that I drove too fast. She lives right next door to her parents on my road(the ones complaining), and she told my friends mom that she was really embarrased when her mom told my dad that, so apparently, she didnt think I drove to crazy. I guess what aggrovates me is that I am a VERY responsible teenager. I go to the drag strip to race, I have never had a ticket, or a wreck(not saying it couldnt happen tomorrow, but hasnt yet), dont knock over mailboxes, and cause trouble in the neighborhood, and I am always nice to people as long as they treat me nice. I try to be a good person, yet they are still hateful. So they will get no compliance from me, unless i actually feel it could be bothering someone else, or that it is something that needs to be changed. Sorry for the rant, but that is how i feel.

If you want to get back at him(just an idea), have a buddy get a big ol plastic trash can and fill it almost full of water(or whatever else kind of liquid) and lean it on his door, then knock on his door and take off running like hell. He opens the door, he gets a bath. If he approaches you about it, just say it was some punk kids, cuz it couldn't have been me, you would have definetely heard me right?

Thats something we used to do when we wanted to get back at somebody(or when we got bored).

 

We had a problem citizen, some few years ago.

He had the best kept yard in the county.

Fertilized almost weekly, mowed twice a week, and griped and complained and called the law on everyone else the rest of the time.

One very wet spring night, someone broadcast about fifty pounds of turnip seeds, all over his yard.

For several days, there was no visible evidence of anything wrong; turnip seeds are tiny.

A few weeks later, there were big fat turnips, all over his yard.

Where-ever he pulled up a turnip, there was a big hole the same size as the turnip.

His yard never did fully recover.

No legal action was taken; because, the list of likely suspects included most of the community.

 

That is the best one I've heard yet...
