Just me chiming in on the slightly off-topic: Dogs don't bother me at all unless I think they are being neglected or in distress; children are A-okay as long as they stay off my property (liability); grown-ups, well - the couple of friends that I have tell it all. As to actual neighbors, as mentioned elsewhere - great to the south and total #!# to the north. I put up a partial fence and it helps, but not enough! They purposely harass me.
what ? ... your neighbours north of you purposely harass you ?... why ?.. what do they do ?
It’s always been taken as an unwritten rule everyplace that I’ve lived is what one does ones own property is their right, unless there’s a written rule.
Bet it’s because they’re just plain miserable.
There is a written rule here..in fact its a country wide rule.. not to have junk on your property which would be impacting the surrounding areas or neighbours.. they had a boat resting against my privacy fence which they piled up with junk and rubbish and knocked down my fence due to it, so I had no option after I'd asked them several times to clear up.. but to report them to the Environmental Health dept .. who swiftly called on them and gave them 30 days to clear it up or face a fine
I agree! It's something I've been doing, too.
That's true! My new neighbors are very loud talking. But it doesn't help that the walls are thin here either.
Their property is THEIR property, but letting their kids and relations play football in my front yard is okay. He ran a line of assorted sticks haphazardly between our front yards and rearranged them every few days. I finally asked him, "what's with the sticks?" and he claimed he had the property line surveyed. I said, "Oh - so I can find a record of this?" It was a lie and I proved it! They were expanding their domain foot by foot. He already has 3 times the property that I have. I have since had a real survey done.what ? ... your neighbours north of you purposely harass you ?... why ?.. what do they do ?
I have headphones I use at times. But I also have pets and need to hear what's going on with them. They like the music I play and I figure if the neighbors are making a lot of noise I can put my music on without headphones, too. My bird loves music, too.
I'm happy for you! It's great when neighbors are helpful. I have some like that, too, but not immediately next to me. This one man has been very nice to me and helpful, too. He is younger.
It would really upset me if someone wanted to shoot my dog!
Yes with people like this you have to document everything. It is a pain and shouldn't have to happen in the first place. My parents used to tell me if an adult tells you to get out, you get out of there and say you're sorry. These kind of dopes tell their children they are allowed anywhere they want. Adults sitting and watching you, stupid activity meant to get on your nerves, neighbors like this are a nuisance.
Wow Em, that's horrible.
Yes, I would do the same. Unfortunately there are people who don't like dogs.
Oh believe me, now that the weather is warming up, we are getting the loud cars, too, drag racing down the street at times. I can't understand what people get out of that. It's just annoying.
My south-border neighbors are also of the other persuasion and we treat each other like family (in all the good ways.) It's the difference between being truly good people with different beliefs and just being obnoxious bullies. I'm a big fan of tolerance, but some people really go out of their way to push buttons!
Unfortunately, I am white. But my family is multi-toned. If they were here to witness this stuff and hear it, I would definitely have called the police. But, those people are trying to intimidate me, and I'm trying hard not to let them know it could work. Yes, I also believe he is after my property. Over somebody's dead body.
That's one of the big rewards, annoying other people. Obnoxious. It's the only thing I don't like about warm weather.
