Advice? For Unfriendly Neighbor...

[muddyrocks]

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

Personally, I already hate the guy... Here is another tack to consider; create a flyer for distribution to the neighbors and in it include the fact that your lugnuts were loosened. This advises them to be on the lookout for vandals and buys you some cheap surveilance. This advises him he may be watched.

Check your vehicle before each departure, use a locking gas cap, park where you can, and try not to let this guy eat up any more of your time and energy. Good luck, Mike

The best advice I have seen here yet.

Play it low and safe. If your in school you don't have a ton of money for DVR equip to watch your junk.
Spread the word. (photo chop a pic of some one bending down next to your junk like you caught some one on camera tooling with it and put it on the flier)

Garage is nice.
And if anyone tried to play that crap on my street, they would get thier junk towed or destroyed.... but then again... there is no shoulder and everyone has driveways.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

I felt kinda like your neighbor last night.

Got home from work and one of my neighbor's kids g/f parked on the street along the curb between our two houses. They park 2 cars there and I park one., the curb can fit 4 cars. She managed to park in a manner that created 3/4 of a space behind her and 1 1/2 spaces in front of her. I dont mind that someone else parks there, but jeez, learn to park!

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

He either learns to deal with a situation he landed himself in, or he moves out.

How did he land himself in it? He's renting a house, there is no off-street parking available for him, there are however parking spaces open around the corner. The owner of the corner lot has decided to be unreasonable and insist that he not park in spaces that were obviously open and not in use. I don't see where this is his fault.

Should housing with no off-street parking be deemed unlivable or something? :dunno:

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

Go get your jeep really muddy and park right in front of his house.
Then strech a water hose and spray off the heep (or hope it rians) leaving a nice mess that he can look at for a few days.

1. Get a friend to "rut" his yard.
2. Super soaker full of brake fluid. (Drive by on his vehicles)

I am not sure how that is going to help...

That's like trying to get rid of a bee hive during the day. They will just come back at night and rebuild it. and if they see you trying: they will sting the $hit out of you.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

yea, upping the ante to vandalizing his vehicles is not the answer. I would do the letter to the neighbors(all but him) explaining the situation. Then do a flyer for everyone advising that your lugnuts were loosened and to be on the lookout. Then just start parking where it is convenient to you and all the neighbors but him, if that is in front of his house, so be it.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

If you pass out the flyer, make sure you clearly state where you were parked

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

I say keep parking where you want but protect yourself, sooner or later he will come directly to you to complain.

Our neighbor across the street had a problem with me parking mine in front of his house every now and then. I had to park across the street a couple times a week for a month and every time I'd come out to the jeep in the morning he'd deliberately park his car underneath my jeep as far as it would go like he was proving a point or something :dunnoI wanted to "back" into it so bad).

Then one night I was getting ready for bed around 2 am and this Jerk come speeding up pulls in right under the jeep and gets out walks around my car and them steams over to my house banging on the door. I open and he starts yelling "you can't park there you can't park there" as I proceed in telling him he doesn't own the street.

Turns out he was pissed that he had to walk across a 3 foot strip of his grass to get to the sidewalk.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

I had the guy across the street from me bitch about me parking in front of MY OWN house in the street the other day. I had my big truck, with my box trailer for my motorcycles on the back, and had to park it on the street for about 3 days. Normally I keep this truck parked at my place of business, but I needed it at home and had no choice for a few days. Worst part about it is that he is renting that house, and I OWN my house. Not to mention he is about the worst possible neighbor one could have. Always being incredibly loud and obnoxious no matter what time of day, walks around with no shirt on in the front yard, litters in his own yard, and it ends up blowing over into mine.

That guy needs a deuce in front of his door...

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

you can buy marking paint (I think from Napa) that you apply with a small brush across nuts and an adjoining surface. If the nut loosens(or is loosened for you) it breaks the paint and you have a visual warning that the nut moved. 'Not sure of a brand name. I'd think about getting some if I were you.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

He is such a littering douche (nothing pisses me off more than people who litter). One day he was in the middle of the street (all white trash and shirtless like as usual) eating a bag of chips (not a small bag, a full sized bag of chips). My wife, and I as well as a few neighbors were in front of our house chatting, and we all watched him get done eating his chips and just throw the bag down in the middle of the street. My wife thought there was going to be a brawl, because I walked onto the edge of the street, and yelled at him to "Pick that $hit up". He looked like a deer in the headlights and did exactly as I said. But that still doesn't stop him from littering when he thinks no one is looking. My wife and I started watching more closely when we were at home, and everytime his trash ended up in our yard we collected it. About a week ago while he was out late one night (being a douche I assume) I went over to his house, with my staple gun, and stapled every piece of trash we had picked up over the course of about two weeks directly to his front door. I think he got the message because since then I haven't seen him throw a single piece of trash on the ground. He also has no clue it was me because all of our neighbors hate him for that same reason.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

I don't have time to start fights with people who think they have a right to everything.

Maybe I'm mistaken, but it appears you have the time to do exactly that, and come here and bitch about it.

You have a Landlord who did not guarantee you parking, which you believe you are entitled to, and you appearantly can't park infront of the place you rent (the polite thing to do).

You are aware that parking infront of someone else's place is "annoying" to your neighbors, you stated so yourself. It is impolite as hell to continiously park, uninvited, infront of someone else's private residence as if you own it. So why are you picking on this guy if you know he is territorial?

Wake up 22, you don't own <POOPIE>. When you do own <POOPIE>, you will feel just like the guy you are picking on.

So avoid the karma.
Get off your pride and get off the internet. Go have a beer with your neighbor.

Damn kids

So would you suggest he park at the bus station and catch a bus/walk home? The neighbor doesn't own the street in front of his house, he owns the house and the property its on. If there's nowhere to park, there's nowhere to park. People used to park in front of my apt all the time, it was irritating as hell when I had to walk a block or two to get to my apartment, but I realized I had no say in whether someone parked in front of my apartment.

Re: Advise for unfriendly neighbor

I would wait until the very last day when i was moving, and flatten every tire on every vehicle he owns, right before I got in my car to take the last load of my stuff to the new house.

That makes him just as bad as the original guy, he has more class than that....
