Dealing with the Neighbors...

[lorddragonwolf]

i am sorry that sheath is having to deal with this. living here in the bible belt is a pain in the ass at times. everyone assumes that you must be perfect and not practice any form of sexual practices other than procreation. and heaven for bide if you dont dress to the norm. one kid at a local school that my son went to dressed all in black even dyes his hair black and because of this he does not have many friends yet he will do almost anything to help someone in need. go figure. good luck with this sheath. I hope some good comes your way soon.

 

[sheath]

LOL

This thread just keeps getting better and better...

Update? Not really, not yet. My children are on vacation, so they haven't been around for the neighborhood kids to harrass. That means things have been relatively quiet the last few days.

My attorney is prepared to move forward if anything else happens. ONE thing and we go for a TRO. We also go after the Homeowner's Association on the basis of several different acts of discrimination.

So...the weapons are loaded, so to speak.

And this thread still makes me laugh so damn hard.

Re: OK so this is a little petty but

this is a practical joke that I have seen played. Go ( or have someone do it for you) to the local landscaping supply and buy 10 yards of stone (about the size of a good plum works really well
) pay cash and use "Debbies " name and have it delivered to her front lawn. Tell them any time is fine.

Although my name isn't Debbie, I'd love the stones delivered to my place. I have just the right spot for them in the backyard and I'm to cheap to go buy them myself.

And to think, we only sent pizzas to our neighbors in years past!

My kids came up with a great solution...start by filling out all those forms that come in the mail for free offers, then free inspections, and free estimates. By the time she is done opening mail and answering the door she wont have time to see whats going on across the street! My kids are bright!


I also got a new idea, how many flags do you own? Enough to cover ever single window that faces her place? How about a skull and cross bones for the most visible? or bed sheets- preferably ones with stains, easily done with strong coffee! Unless there is something in your home association bylaws that say you cant, she doesnt need fuel for the fire.

this is getting better and better

LMAO!

Good ideas! It reminds me of the time a friend of mine went into a bookstore and took the little ordering thingies out of the magazines. You know, the annoying little forms that fall out? They have something like six in each magazine. Anyway, he got maybe a hundred of these things and then filled them out and had all those magazines sent to his ex-girlfriend. It became postal hell for a while but it got her off his back.

Hell, I'm going to leave the windows wide open the next time I have sex, that's for sure. I'll ask him to loudly call me the 'whore of the town', just for good measure. Then hang stained sheets out on the clothesline the next day. Nothing against the law about all that, now is there?

My taste for vengeance is kicking in. This could be a good thing or a bad thing, I'm not sure which.

S.

the way i see it - if it doesn't physically hurt the other person, and is just their perception of you that is changed, then it's fair game!

i had 7 tonnes of fill (clean dirt) sent to my partner's ex's house when she got all pissed off because i got pregnant to him and began stalking me.

and i put my compost heap right on the fenceline between myself and my neighbor from hell.
i also used to have my bbq's on the side of the house closest to them, so the smoke would blow over into their house.
and i used to play the cure and the sex pistols full volume right up to the very last legal second every night.
we also ran the lawnmower every single sunday from the first legal minute for a year!
and we used to have all different types of so-called disreputable friends coming and going at all hours as well, and then ask my bro-in-law to come round in the police cruiser as well! (should have seen the curtains twitch!)
and every single time i had a charity call for donations, cold-call phone calls, and door-to-door salespeople, i sent them next door, telling them they'd catch them home on a sunday after 5pm.
the way i saw it, if they were going to be pissed at me for something, i may as well give them a reason.

revenge is glorious - only those that have never done it, preach about 'getting down to their level' and all that stuff.

 

[warrior queen]

.....oh, and i should add, that we only began getting our own back after we'd had 4 years of their shite!

they damn well deserved it!

But what was the result or is it on going?

 

[Noor]

revenge and getting even

Remember that there is a possibility that your neighbor is competely nuts and a religious fanatic, I would refrain from doing anything beyond your normal activities. Some religious fanatics worry more about what they perceive as the moral thing and saving your soul in the afterlife than the mortal life, and I would prefer you stay around in this one.

Going after them legally is mostly likely the best and safest way.

 

[watergirl]

*nods*

I have to say, I'm with Noor on this one.

 

[HoldenMcCrank]

I like the magazine idea

I am sure that there is some place online that will allow you to sign up just once for oh say hundreds of catalogs that are free!

Oh look here are some links

[sheath]

Holden, dear...you are ALL for revenge here, aren't you?

I think Noor and watergirl have good points about the religious fanatic thing. Actually, I'm wondering about the director of the Association, too. She seems to have a seriously rigid moral slant...as in, if anybody acts differently than she does, they are going to hell, do not pass go, do not collect 200 anything, just go straight to hell.

And God knows---ha, pun not really intended--that I am a perfect target for religious fanatics.

Combine that with small-town mentality, and you know...I'm sure there are more than a few who would love to run a stake from their white picket fences through my sinful heart.

Maybe I should use that sidewalk chalk to write the definition of 'tolerance' up and down the street?

I adore the way you think.

I have always been the 'live and let live' type...the peacemaker. But some things are just too ridiculous to make any sense, you know?

[Felt Tip]

I'd have to agree with those advising you to hold back on the revenge tactics.

It may feel good in the short term, but there are plenty of better reasons not to:

It risks prologing and/or exaccerbating the problem

There's no need to turn your neutral neighbours against you, you could end up with a whole street full of seething fundamentalists baying for your blood

It looks like legal action could possibly solve your problems. No need to throw that away on a stupid prank. Even if you don't do anything to turn the law itself against you, you'll still risk turning the people in legal institutions against you (in a similar way to how she had previously with the baseless calls to the police and child services).


I'm certainly not saying change the way you normally behave for this mentalist, just don't go out of your way to screw her over.
At least, not until you've exhausted all other possibilities of a resolution, and sat and decided rationally whether you want to.


Still, if we're just fantasising about doing these things (as I suspect we might be), I'll jump on board - pouring salt on the lawn works well, I'm told.
Especially if you have a flair for writing messages in dead grass

No no no, silly! That would kill all the slugs around her house. We want a plethora of slimy little creatures squirming around Deb's place!

 

[UncleTed]

... if anybody acts differently than she does, they are going to hell, do not pass go, do not collect 200 anything, just go straight to hell.

I think I read something very similar to this in the "HOA Directors' Standard Book of Protocol."

Rest assured, we ARE just fantasizing. Underneath all the laughing and stories of revenge, there is still a very serious situation there.

But sometimes, things just get so ridiculous you have to do whatever it takes to laugh. And now I LOVE this thread.

[lorddragonwolf]

salt works well. but to really write a message that will appear in a day use weed killer. mix the weed killer with the right amount of water and spray it on.

 

[Metal_Monkey]

Maybe you could sprinkle 5 pounds of sugar on her law in the dead of night - it'll attract bugs, and ants, and all kinds of good things.

Sheath, isn't it fun to live vicariously through the revenge stories of others?

Heh. Reminds me about a news story I read a while back.
A bunch of convicts were taken out of prison and put to work planting bulbs on a large bank beside a motorway.
3 months later, when they flowered, it didn't seem like such a good idea - one guy had spelt out 4 letter words in flowers.

He deserves instant parole just for the genius of it



Sheath, I don't suppose you could volunteer to help her with the gardening?

Since we're just fantasizing....and since I am a non-violent sort who is always kind to his crazy neighbors...and since this idea is just for hypothetical enjoyment...

we're all equipped with a natural herbicide...and men even come equipped with a built-in distribution method that can be modestly accurate. To wit:

Your humble servant,

 

[warrior queen]

But what was the result or is it on going?

the end result?
we sold our house and moved across the country.

BUT!......

the people we sold the house to, are a single parent family of 7 aboriginal australians - and anyone from australia will tell you that they are the last choice of neighbors!
(the house was sold to housing commission, which means that the abo's are able to buy from them for a ridiculously low repayment plan, and it also means that these folks are NEVER going to leave that street!)

like i said, revenge is sooooooo sweet

 

[SensualCealy]

Being a florist I love the bulb idea, just remember there are bulbs and tubers that come up at different times a year.

Crocus are usually first or snow drops- One word

Then daffodils would likely be the next, they need to be planted first a little deeper then the crocus- that would give you the second word.

Tulips Id say come after the daff's just a tad deeper yet, and they could be the third word.

Making sure this is done at night with a bulb planter that way the plugs are set back in for no one to be the wiser.

Now as for destruction of the lawn- if you use plain boiling water you can get off with just saying you were watering her lawn, no chemicals, no pestisides, pure clean water! he he he!

Oh I have an even better idea, some really stupid neighbours of ours planted ornimental bamboo around the back fence of our place, it spreads like wild fire, if you need some roots Id be happy to send them, they are a pain to get rid of once you have it growing.

Revenge is sweet but as long as its in our heads we can atleast laugh about it, just thinking of her reaction.
I do love the catalogue idea too!
Cealy

 

[SensualCealy]

Just had a brain storm, you could make a huge bed infront of your place, plant the bulbs there depicting different body parts.

Arrange the bulbs in colours and shape to make a pair of breasts, or a nice long hard penis! That could be a riot !!
