Lousy Neighbor Thread

[Dr Vorlauf]

The answer is simple. You need to set up a mud wrestling pit in the back yard and challange them to a death match , loser has to move.

Better yet have your wife take them on....

I concur.

And some steak.

mmmm--- steak.

Better find out if they are Vegan Lesbians first.

My pregnant wife could kill them with that look she gives.. you know the hormonal I'm pregnant do not get in my way look... the one she gives rude people and jerks all the time

thank god that look has never been given to me...... yet.


I'll think about the mud wrestling tho.

Yeah-- you could go right for the 'call the cops' route or 'complain to the landlord' routine but you're setting yourself up for the same kind of treatment in return.

this is the reason why my wife and I don't like to just call the management right away, the first time they blared their music my wife and I casually brought it up in a conversation... we said something along the lines of, "I'm sure you've found out by now how thin the walls are, if our daughter is being too loud, please feel free to tell us, we know we can be somewhat noisy."

they just looked at us and were like, "ok."

i don't think they got the hint.

Having a little informal kind of hang out session can be a good start. I've found I can handle these kinds of things usually in a fairly casual, nonthreatening way.

"Damn-- teenagers, eh? Gotta be rough. So when do kids start loving music so much that they start playing it so loud?"

I'm sure the next time they are having a cook out we could just open the back door and join them... usually we like to stay out of it b/c we don't want to interrupt them...

and it must be every young teenage girl's dream to just blare music.

Besides, giving a less confrontational method a shot actually makes your case stronger if you have to call the landlord or the police in. It certainly helps being able to honestly say "I tried to approach the problem personally and resolve it without all this formal noise and I hate to waste your time with such minor stuff but...".

I agree 100% that's why the last time we called they didn't blare music for a few months... it's just recently I think they forget and I'm not really interested in having to call or remind them every 3 months... altho I'm sure if I did that it wouldn't be as big of a deal as I'm making it.

Personally I find that lesbians aren't really any different than anyone else. I've gotten treated like some sort of evil thing by lesbians and I've also been treated that way by right wing, clean cut males who think that people who don't look like them are by definition 'bad people'.

In my experience people aren't all that different than one another in anything but the details.

Well, I have nothing against the fact that they are lesbians, it makes no difference... altho, I do think they have a chip on their shoulder as if everyone is out to get them...

Honestly, my wife and I treat them as humans and nothing else... I have worked with a few lesbians in the fabrication trade and some of them were really fun to work with and hang around... and there were some that thought men were just all pigs and felt as if the world would be a better place without them...

I KonKur with Dr. KornKob again, but with one caveat. Your neighbors might have a massive chip on their shoulder about men and truly despise them.

I would not have this conversation without a witness and the best one would be your wife in case it goes south. You don't need a He Said She Said one straight male against two gay females. You will lose every time.

Advice well taken, I've been fortunate to have my wife with me each time... plus I think it feels less confrontational...

lezbians. are they hot?

i think you should get to know them. knowing your neighbors on a more personal level makes it easier for all to respect each other and their space etc.

plus they might let you watch, if they're hot.

that's a negative, i thought of this at first, but I highly doubt there is such thing as any truely hot lesbians... these are both in their late 30's, early 40's... the womanly one looks like she was very attractive when she was younger, but now is has an old lady butt, no ****s... the manly one... well, she's a total butch and I'll leave it at that...

don't worry, the wife and I both scoped them out.

When they moved in for the first few months back my wife and I would guess if the one was a man or not... being somewhat cold when they moved in he/she would constantly wear sweats and jogging outfits... at first i thought for sure it was just a rather fem dude.

He/She shaves her head and leaves a strip on the top of her head which he/she bleaches blond and he/she has a very hard face, which lead me to believe it was a man, with just a fem air about he/she.

Then one day when the weather was nice the couple were out planting flowers when I saw it; the he/she stood up and through the side of her cut-off sleeve shirt, i saw a butch side ****.

Being a guy I know side **** when I see it... and this wasn't the Peter Griffin side **** either, this was woman side ****. When she stood up it was apparent at that moment in time that my wife and I were now staring into the bra-less saggy ****s of a woman.

Update: Yesterday we heard loud bangs and yelling and screaming and I heard a girl crying from our neighbor friends... a co-worker of my SWMBO was over and being the drama queen she is & loving any type of drama, she decided to "listen" through the wall.

Apparently the manly one has a daughter, well they must have a rocky relationship and there must be a TON of issues between them (i'm sure if my mom had left my dad for a woman and completely transformed herself into a man it's cause some damage) and I guess yesterday evening was the final say all in the matter and things must have gotten rough.

So today my wife is sitting on the couch when a loud knock is at the door... she answers to find 3 police officers and the county Sheriff at our door, apparently the daughter is filing charges against the manly one and is accusing her of being "forceful" and "abusive"...

My wife told them that we heard loud noises like there was a physical confrontation and that we heard crying, but other than that, we aren't sure what was going on over there.

Tonight the officers and the Sheriff will be returning for her since she wasn't home when they came to question her, and they'd like to speak with me later on to hear my side of the story since my wife admits that both of us heard it...

I have a feeling we may be loosing some neighbors again.

See, nothing the Sheriff and Child Protective Services can't fix. If they are still there in the next week or so, just call the cops during the next episode. They are now on record as trouble makers. What a great environment to raise kids ( NOT). Tell your landlord you want to interview the next prospective tenants first.

 

[zoebisch01]

From now on, I'd advise you to report every disturbance. The reason is a 'CYA' approach, in some places if you fail to report distressed people you may be held (albeit probably marginally) responsible. Sure nothing may ever come of it, and you don't want to be an ass...but at this point it seems that things are escalating. Besides which, (more importantly) the children could be in harms way. I personally wouldn't want to interfere, but given the circumstances I'd say it may be important. They have been less than considerate to you, and this shouldn't be motivated by vengeance but rather protection of others and yourself.

 

[NWernBrewer]

Sounds like a bad situation - I had a neighbor we called Hutch for reasons too long to post - he was a meth/coke addict and in a band. We didn't really bother about the noise (I am also a musician) but he would come over out of his face and talking sh!t and would have to be thrown off the property 2-3 times a week.

Then he caught his 16yo son giving favors to his dealer in exchange and they moved.

After that I found a house next to a salon, surrounded by a large yard and have no neighbors within well over 150 feet.:rockin:

My music bothers nobody now and nobody else's bothers me. No nosy, hateful/spiteful people... if the house was a little bigger I would want to stay (rental) but with 2 kiddos we need a little more room - another bedroom, bathroom and brewing space.

sounds just like my old neighbors. do they drive pickups? is the fem one a brit?

Meh. From the description you gave (up to and including the complaint fromteh kid) it sure sounds to me like a pretty typical, 'happens in many or most homes, "I probably had the same fight with my parents"kind of teen age anger/frustration crap.

Only these days kids can call the cops and complain that their parents are 'being mean and abusive' and get CPS involved.

Shouting and slamming things around--- all sounds pretty much the same as an actual fight. I've answered the door to cops who thought a roommate and I were fighting when what we were doing is rearranging the furniture while we played really loud music. (Drunk people should never rearrange furniture). It is easy to misinterpret indistinct sounds, especially if 2 people are kibitzing about what they think is going on.

 

[HenryHill]

Legally contest the unlawful things when they occur.

Some of this situation may possibly be a part of your own high expectations.

RDWHAHB with them, and I bet you got lots more crap in common, than you are different. Consider that you may be the same type of neighbor in that many years from now; like it or not-teenagers acting wild, complaining about how they have it, etc.,etc. isn't all that uncommon. Lemme tell ya, I pushed boundaries...

Chit happens in teen's life and NO parent can possibly be everywhere keeping control of everything at all times. And when they do get after the kids, the Modern PC makes them out to be 'abusive'...

I don't bitcch about my neighbors (and we get frigging WILD around here), and they don't bitcch about us. I'm a grandfather, but still young at heart...

They may feel like you're kicking them in the shins....with all the crap they may already be going thru.
It's a perspective thing, like anything...

I'm confused as to why you say that they might feel that way?

I have no problem whatsoever imagining how life in the suburbs as homosexuals in a pair relationship with teenage kids could be somewhat of a stressful situation. Especially for the kids.

There-- fixed that for you.


Teenagers ALWAYS find something to be stressed about. It's what teenagers do.

Teenagers smoking a joint, or playing loud music is going on everywhere, not just next door. It's their HB, so to speak.

Snitching to the cops for petty things can cause an irreconcilable situation later, so pick your battles wisely. What comes around goes around, so if it is blatantly intolerable and you're already in bed, call the po-po. Talking to them is your best avenue of approach, though, before things get out of hand.

And piling onto the kids will surely just get the parents PO'd at you. Address this with the parents at a NONcritical time, with a beer in your hand and a smile on your face. Show some empathy for their issues...in other words be diplomatic.

Sounds to me you mean sympathy .....more that empathy

I wouldn't say report every noise to the police or anything, but the fact of the matter is, that its a crazy world we live in and there could be some abuse going on. My ex GF was beaten by her father all the way up till she was 16 it really messed her, but if one neighbor had said something maybe it could've been stopped early on. Do not get me wrong though.......I'm definately not against spanking kids or anything like that. But beatings are a whole different thing.

Damn, I am so glad that my closest neighbor is half a mile down the road. I go out on my front porch and shoot guns and piss everywhere.

Wow - It wasn't until I saw your avatar animated that I realized that you were not actually holding a big ol' bowl. It was in fact a beer glass!!!!

It's one of the laws of nature:

In every street, neighbourhood, appartment building or dorm there is allways one a**hole that makes life miserable for all the other dwellers.

If you don't know who the neighbouring a** is, it's YOU!

I'm pretty sure all my neighbors are A-holes. Last summer I was throwing an outdoor movie bash. Plenty of booze and food etc where I set up a 140" widescreen and showed a couple movies when the sun went down. I made up a flyer and put it in the mailbox of each of the neighbors surrounding me (five). We hardly ever talk but thought it would cover my butt if they got annoyed at the volume. Not a single one emailed or called to RSVP and not even a thanks but no thanks. None of them came but one of the ones that I was MOST cool with gave the the old outdoor light flash at 10pm as if to see... OK, knock it off. In 5 years living here I had not once had an outdoor party with loud music and I get grief this one time.
