How do you handle a neighbor like this?

[NetGuySC]

Somehow rig it so that he gets shocked when he tries to unscrew the bulb

Oh! Oh!

Build a moat.

better now.

I swear people are freaking dense.

nah, you're post is horribly worded. write better.

I still "got it" though. Of course, I had to assume that your friend wasn't bitching about his neighbor taking down his own lights. b/c that would have been a bandwidth-wasting post.

Sorry I didn't take more than a few moments to post this up this morning...wasn't trying to be a literary scholar. A monkey could understand it though.

I still don't think they'd get it.

Should he have to turn out his interior lights too if the neighbor is upset people?

no one of the poor kids was bruising your poor mom.

I see you have grasped the situation precisely. Proust! I applaud you.

Actually it's on YouTube already.

...

He now feels this guy is a bit unstable and may be dangerous / vindictive.

Repeat after me:

"Everyone who is not like me must be dangerous and unstable."

lmao at the cage & lock suggestion. A spotlight is nothing that a simple pellet or bb gun couldn't take care of more quickly than unscrewing the bulbs.

 

[Rubycon]

Remove the socket insulator and wire so the fixture black is to the feed white and vice versa. He will try to remove the bulb once and that should fix the problem.

Glad you understood me.

Anyway...talked to the guy again about my post...he was actually worried the old dude would see it somehow. I don't know either of them well, but it seems he has some belief the old man may harm his animals.

I don't know what I'd do in this situation. Probably come down to someone getting an ass beating though, I have a really big problem with someone coming onto my property to usually 'borrow' something.

 

[DrPizza]

Oh wait a second... I had it backwards. I was thinking the guy moved out to the country, not in from the country. Bummer for him; people in the suburbs don't realize how much light pollution sucks; in fact, they seem to enjoy it.

I don't even begin to understand this. I live just a few minutes north of Doylestown, but on a street with farms, big properties, and no street lights.

Of course, there is now one asshole from NY on the block who has lit his property up like a Christmas tree. Assholes like that should stay in the grime ghettos that are they're natural habitat.

One of my absolute joys is firefly season. From my back veranda, they light up the woods by my stream in nature's own amazing light show, and it's all against a black, black background, just like nature intended.

"Security lighting" is for nature challenged pussies. :|

not really enjoyment as much as preventing things.

In the country you can see better at night since you aren't getting constantly blinded every 30-50 feet by light poles.

In the city they cry out for more lighting.

slow your roll 'essay'.

dude is definitely unstable fucking with about 30 lights on someone else's property even after being caught at it.

I want to drive by the house now to check it out, but this guy has to be bringing ladders and stuff over during the day. I don't know where it is in that neighborhood really.

I take back what I said about him actually taking the bulbs. He just loosens them up. I must have misunderstood.

wow, the reach around has paid off.

Most I know don't have a problem with nature, it's mostly with problems in the area like possibly your kids if you have them.

is your 'veranda' just a slab the builder put out behind your 'home'. You say you are on a street with farms, big properties but don't claim you are part of that. I know some horse people that say they live where they do, but they are really just hired help.

if you had such a wide expanse, the neighbors security lights should not cause much grief.

 

[MotionMan]

Your friend should buy the most powerful flood lights he can find and mount them inside every window that faces the neighbor's house, pointing at the neighbor's house (If he can figure out which window is the old man's bedroom, maybe he can focus all the lights on that window).

He should turn on those flood lights for one night.

The next day he should go to the neighbor's house and tell the old man that it is his choice as to which lights he wants your friend to continue using.

Such a collection of howling asshole ignorance from you, Jeebus, you really live down to your sub-simian posting reputation, don't you?

Anyone, like you, who bragged some hours ago in another thread that he was on his 8th mediocre brand "beer" and how heroically hip and cool that made him ought to be composted for the organic garbage that he is.

I'd call you a tool, but that would be an insult to rusty garden implements everywhere.

Damn, you're dumb.

This statement is very ambiguous. You're just mad because you fail at storytelling.

Give him a break. When he was young he was one of those poor kids that got bused with his 8 other brothers and sisters to another neighborhood.

question is was it a short bus?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Short_bus

Because of this second use of the buses, "taking the short bus" and other phrases to that effect have become pejorative slang terms used to imply that the subject is mentally challenged (or simply stupid). Some of these terms include but are not necessarily limited to the following: "retard carts," "syndrome trucks", "tard carts", "window lickers", "sped sleds", "sped-ex", "retard rockets", "the Magic School Bus", and "the magic wagon." Also the term "off the short bus" is used, as in, "Where'd they recruit you, off the short bus?"

gee thanks..wworried that nobody would get the joke. :roll:

Could be he rode the short bus and the joke went over his head

Ahh the beer rant. Sorry if I hurt your feelings man. Thanks for giving me the play by play of my past postings though. :thumbsup:

Not really a friend so much as someone I just know. He was painful to talk to about this anyway. I think he is just going to accept not having lights. I wanted to punch him in the freaking face last night.
