That's where you pick it up with a spade and flick it onto their windows.

Builders walked all over my backyard, leaving cement foot prints all over the place, walking directly on plants (not even taking the effort to walk over them), leaving paint everywhere, cemented some of my hose (they were using it), and left cement all over my front lawn.

Fsckers. I was going to fscking beat down the next worker on my property with my beat down stuck :|

Edit: oh yeah, one of the painters took one of our chairs to use, and didn't return it. We found it in a pile of rocks, covered in paint and cement :|

Are you documenting these events with pictures and a journal? Or being lazy and just whining about it to us?

I already took pictures... poleroids so they can't say I edited them on the computer... and so I don't have to get 35mm developed.

Lady down the street use to let her dog run around the neighborhood... he was in the street one time when I was driving by... so I slammed on my brakes and locked up the tires... she came running from the back yard... and I yelled out the window... "that was close, that would be a shame if I couldn't stop in time and ran it over." That didn't get through to her... so when I found dog sh!t in my yard, I scooped it up with a shovel, and delivered it to her on her front porch. She keeps it tied up now.

WOW, some of you people have neighbors as bad as mine. Property is a constitutionally protected right, why isn't it being enforced???

That lady's dog has been to the pound at least 4 times this year because of me... called the police and they had a dog catcher come take it away... ever since I dropped her dog's feces on her porch, she's kept it tied up.

I told my dad to TAKE ACTION! But he pussied out and just said some stupid racist comment about Punjabi workers (I'll spare the details)

But we did talk to the guy incharge of the construction. He was nice, helped us clean up the mess. Said he's going to cut some of their pay, but I doubted it

Either that or I'll sh!t on his new deck.

LMAO.

I used to live next to a total asshole. I would piss all over the door of his car. He was constantly sending his wife over to bitch about the noise, even if it was at a reasonable hour on the weekend. He would mow the lawn every weekend at 8am, just to wake us up. He washed and vaccumed his car every Wednesday and Saturday.

He never once opened his mouth, or said hello.

You got some rude neighbors.


Complete opposite of us. Last week, the lady behind us told us to pick as many raspberries as we wanted from her patch, neighbors to the side are super nice, neighbors across the street are also good friends. Strange neighbors are nice, just stand offish.

Of course, the house on the other side is going up for rent, so I suspect I may have a story or two soon enough.

You can see that all the way from the library?

-DAK-

Um what... I live like 15 minutes away from the BML.

Oh and I don't know exactly which neighbor's dog did it, but my neighborhood is a really dog friendly place. They have trails just for people who walk their dogs. Weird... tho it has mostly stopped since we complained to a friendly neighbor of ours. I guess he's been keeping watch or something.

I remember coming home and seeing a bright orange extension cord running across the backyard. It was plugged into a pole next to our pool. I knew this was on an isolated circuit so I pull the cover off the panel and remove the neutral and connect it to the other hot bar. Funny thing was the next day there was a big ghetto blaster in their dumpster. I pulled it out...yep it was smoked big time! I never had any more problems after that.

-DAK-

LOL, Good one!

You pissed on his car, and who's an asshole?

Sometimes a man's gotta strike back the only way he knows how.

Sorry, I should have stated I pissed on his car because he was such a prick. He would call the cops twice a week. The cops were always embarrassed to knock on our door because they knew we weren't doing anything wrong.
