WE get along with all of ours. We all get together a couple of times in the summer and BBQ. The neighbors kids who are older will shovel snow for everyone in the winter, and other including my self have taken care of lawns and mail, papers, etc. when someone is ill, laid up, or out of town. It is nice to have a great group of nieghbors. I have been on the other side of the spectrum as well. Much prefer the current situation.

Eh, not a whole lot of problems. My son is friends with the kid across the street and another across and down the street. Both families are okay.
On one side of my house lives about 3 young females. They pretty much keep to themselves and don't bug me. Once in awhile, they have people over partying. That doesn't bug me too much as I remember those days when everyday was a party. However, it's not acceptable when it's a week night and they're being loud right outside my kids' bedroom windows. On the other side, there is an older couple. They're okay people, but they've had their moments of being annoying. Used to be that the old dude would be fanatic about taking care of his lawn. That's fine until the old fart starts making comments about mine. Hey jackass, I work and have kids. It's not always convenient to mow the grass and trim when it gets a half inch too tall. Then there's their 2 dogs, a German shepherd and a chow. Both dogs bark at us all the time. That's one of the reasons I put up a privacy fence around my back yard last Summer. That and the old man was a little too nosey. One year, someone called the animal control on us about our dog. Now, I don't know WTF they were thinking, but our dog is well loved and taken care of. The animal control people went around back, took one quick look at her, and said "oh, she's just fine". I'm pretty sure it was these same neighbors that called them. :shake: They have been much better towards us over the past few years. Just yesterday, they brought us some food (she works at a school and they had some leftover stuff). Last Summer, the old man helped clean up the old shingles off the ground when I was roofing my garage. So, they're much more bearable these days. Early on, though (been in this house since Feb. 97), they were too nosey. They would freak out over my kids playing on the edge of the front porch, afraid the kids would fall off and hurt themselves. Hell, they're kids. That's what they do. I guarantee that they won't do it again. ROFL |

My neighbor is a nosey bitch that drives me nuts. The only positive is that when we are out of town, I know someone is keeping an eye out on our house. Other than that, I really can't stand her or her alcoholic husband.

Bob Dole's neighborhood has quieted down significantly over the past 6 months.
Other than the constant stream of 5-minute visitors across the street the first 2 weeks of the month, the only other real annoyance is the frequent street ball game down the block. That wouldn't even be an issue if they weren't so rude about getting the **** out of the way when they saw a car coming down the street. |

That post reminds me of my mom (minus the alcoholic husband). |
Get along fine with immediate boarding neighbors...
Ignore for the most part. Their are some semi-retired busi-bodies around the corner... however |
KChiefs1, there are 2 things you can't choose in life, your relatives and your neighbors. You just have to make the best of it

I have peacefully lived in my community for close to 3 years, until now.
About a year ago a woman moved in right across the street. A friend of mine came over and parked her car in the street in front of this womans house. Well apparently this was unacceptable, the lady went ballistic about how this car was blocking her driveway, which it was not, and she demanded that we move the car immediately. My friend was sleeping, and I didn't know where her car keys were. My neightbor, who we will refer to as bitchface from here on out, demended that we wake her up to move the car. Well since this woman has moved in, all of the sudden my dogs are too loud. I got an anoumous letter stating that my dogs are keeping people up. I'm coming home to notices from animal control and now I find out bitchface is trying to have a petition signed to get rid of my dogs, or me, I dont know. I also got a letter form the HOA stating that my dogs are a nussance and they get out all day (WHICH IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE). The problem is, I'm home at night, all night 6-7 days a week. when are they keeping anyone up, i dont know, becasue I see bitchface leave for work early in the morning, like myself. So I ask bitchface the other day, when are the dogs being a nussance, and she fails her aras around and says, "All day everyday, when you aren't home." Then she proceeds to tell me it's not just my dogs, but all the dogs in neighborhood. As bitchface is talking, i notice that she has a cat, on a leash. It becomes apparent that this woman is unreasonable dog hater. I feel like I'm about to go to war, and I am about to put my house up for sale. My realtor asked if I would be willing to sell to low-income buyers through specials programs, and I'm all about it. I want my buyers to own a beat up 78 camaro and out in on blocks in the street, own a loud pitbull just to piss her off. |
Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors
Have I got neighbors? Have I got neighbors? All day and all night Neighbors Have I got neighbors? Ringing my doorbells All day and all night Ladies, have I got crazies? Screaming young babies No piece and no quiet I got T.V.'s, saxophone playing Groaning and straining With the trouble and strife Is it any wonder Is it any wonder Is it any wonder That we fuss and fight Neighbors, do unto strangers Do unto neighbors What you do to yourself, yourself, yourself Is it any wonder Is it any wonder Is it any wonder That we fuss and fight Neighbors do unto strangers Do onto neighbors what you do to yourself Yourself, yourself, yourself Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors Neighbors, neighbors, neighbors Do yourself a favour Don't you mess with my baby When I'm working all night You know that neighbors Steal off my table Steal off my table And doing alright, alright, alright Neighbors do unto strangers Do unto strangers What you do to yourself |
Our neighborhood is better than it used to be; two doors down used to be crappy parents with teenage kids who loved to pull a fish tail in my cul de sac as they left their house. One day they did so as my kids were out and I waited until I saw this kid's car parked outside their house then walked down and knocked on the door. The kid answered it and I told him that he needed to know if he ever hit one of my kids that their would be no force on earth that would keep me from dragging him out of the car and chocking to death. Then I asked him if he understood me, he gave me a smartass "yeah" and closed the door. I meant every word of it. Every once in a while at night I'd still hear the squeeling tires, but not when my kids were out.

It probably wouldn't hurt to try and get the cat to drink some of the antifreeze as well... |
