neighbor called the cops. ON TOPIC...

well, i was workin in the shop. had my ear plugs in grinding away with the MUDVAYNE cd jambin in the background. well, maybe more than just "jambin". i could hear it clear as day over the grinder even with the ear plugs in. but still, i always shut it down after 9pm and it was guarter till when the cop started flashin his "Rodney King light" in the window. hell i only went out to the shop about 8pm so they must have called as soon as the music came on.

i thought it was actually quite ammusing. the cop even seemed to think it was rediculous that they called about it. i was actually adjusting the volume as he shined his light in so he DID hear it as loud as it was. he said he did'nt care if i turned it up for a good song once in a while, then i told him i always tone it down after 9pm and only do work that makes a very minimum of noise after then.

then he started askin about all the stuff out in the garage that i was workin on and seemed to really dig it. i apologized for him having to come out but he said it was no big deal cause he had nothin to do anyway. i think because it was before 9pm he was reluctant to say anything but i had allready been turning it down when he got there so it was not a big deal. he was just doin his job and to tell the truth i'd rather see him here than the stupid beeeatch that lives behind us. shes NEVER said a nice thing to any of us, just starts right off screamin and bitchin. i don't even know her name cause she was never so polite as to introduce herself when they moved in.

for those who have followed the saga, YES this is the neighbor i have had problems with before. they complain about EVERYTHING. they just moved here from the city and all. i live in the country for a reason. plus, i was here FIRST . this whole thing just cracks me up. they have nothing better to do than be a pain in my ass. oh well, what are ya gonna do??

 

Being there first is one of the gayest reasons I have ever heard of for anyone to be an asshole! Not saying you are being an asshole kustombuilder, but EVERY time I hear a statement like that my blood boils. I had some dish-pig ass bags for neighbors a few years back that thought just because they moved in two months before me it was o.k. for their dog to wake me up at 5:00 AM on a saturday while they went on a road trip to sell their children, lick monkey taint, suck dick, smoke crack, eat balls and be a general annoyance to the populance. I hated them. A slow and painful death for the years of disrespect is in their future...
Sorry I went off on a tagent there...
Some people need something to bitch about and no matter how much you attempt to respect their wishes they will never be happy. unfortunately I think you may be in that situation.
I know I have been there and hence my earlier tirade. I feel for you because it's just a bunch of crap and most of the time no matter what you do it will not be good enough for the gay-bors.
My suggestion is, if this a reoccurring problem, get their fiorst and last names and go to the local magistrate and file harassment charges. A court date will be set and as long as you can bring another neighbor with you that can testify on your behalf you will be set. BTW, hearings at the magistrate are not even close to the stereo typical idea of a court hearing.

 

MUDVAYNE cd???????? i knew i like you for a reason ....hahahaha.... that sux man .....yeah gotta watch it here too .......atleast the cop was cool about it ........

 

man ,i have the same problem but the noise law here is from 10 pm to 6 am .so i justt keep on grinding tell 9 59 every night .sometimes u just got to show the naighbers how much of a dick u can really be .and dont let them stop u from doin what u wanna do later kyle

 

Courtesy of RRTers and HAMB gatherer's not so long ago, I got to go to a guys place and check out some cool rod's and rodding material. On the side of his neighbor's garage, it read... D(X'd out)R-on is an Asshole. A funny poke from Don's neighbor, pushed right back.
Another friend has a VERY similar problem with his new back neighbor. They chained their stupid Dog to His rear privacy fence, don't shovel the shit yada yada. THEN they won't let him walk on HIS 6" of the 0ther side of teh fence to paint it this year, with his size 13 shoes!!! Cops can't help, zoning won't help, Health Dept. ingores the shit. He takes the fence down, board-by-board. Repaints it white then reinstalled it. Oh, did I mention that evry time they look out Their back window now there's the 4'tall Bright Red Swaskita?!!?

Guess ya might need to put a mural on the back of the garage!

 

dude i can relate,my old neighbor was a woman i knew my ENTIRE life,she was my dad's best freinds [back in high school]mother,and man one day she woke up and just hated me{musta been my harley} every bike that when't down my street was my fault my bike was too loud my lawnmower was to loud,bla bla bla...lot quieter now that she's dead and all....kinda miss her though

I called our county cops a few months ago, to see what the laws were in the ways of noise, to try and keep Kustombuilder OUT of trouble...I was told in our county there IS NO noise ordinance, you just have to "keep the peace" as they called it. And if the neighbors don't like it, you have to come to agreement. Yeah. RIGHT.

 

When my old man got out of law school, he took a job as public defender in a little po-dunk town in Missouri.

The FIRST case he handled was a lady who BIT THE NOSE OFF a neighbor lady. And, REFUSED TO GIVE IT BACK.

It all started over some dog shit right on the property line...Both ladys blamed it on the others dog.

Keep a hand over your beak...-Abone.

 

FlamedAbone, whether thats a true story or not that is funny.

Mike hopefully she saw the deputy show up (probably staring out the window looking for him as soon as she hung up the phone.) and now realizes that the cops aren't gonna help her cause. I really think 9pm is reasonable except in her case. Some people are never happy and have to make every one around them just as miserable. If her house was as close as my neighbors were I could see it but thats rediculous (she's like 80yds away) SCREW HER!!!!! I'll call you next week. See ya Eric

 

Rooster...

have any pics of that..?? I'd love to see it..!!! Hahaha..!!

Hey Mike sounds like she needs a life - put here to work on the Fna Pickup! You local cop sounds pretty cool and sounds like you handled it well with him. He prolly thinks shes a bitch too!

 

I got one for you. In the neighbor hod I live in you are not allowed to park on the street between 1 am and 6 am. I work third shift so no big deal. Well when I got home in the morning I was parking on the street since one side of the driveway was blocked with a truck I could not start and the other side was my wifes side of the driveway. Well somebody complained to the police saying that my truck was blocking the view going up the street. The cop said that I was not doing anything wrong but wanted to know if I would not park in the street. funny thing was that it was the same day that I sold the truck blocking my side of the driveway. Sure glad I am moving.

 

all the other neighbors think she's a bitch too, but she mostly directs her anger towards me. they try to get along just so she won't be an even bigger pain in their asses but i'm waaaay past the getting along point. though i am still polite when she comes over and starts SCREAMING at me about the OTHER neighbor's dogs, but after she starts yellin and swearin the gloves are off.

she mentioned in one of her tiraids that people like me are the reason they moved out of the city. she just can't figure out why the assholes keep following her . perhaps it's HER who is the problem? NAAA, could'nt be.

she said they moved to the country for peace and quiet but i was workin on cars when they came to look at the house they bought, the neighbor on the one side works on heavy machinery at his house and has alot of "junk" layin around and the neighbor on the other side has alot of "junk" layin around and also works on cars AND they ride 4 wheelers and dirt bikes everyday when it's nice out. yet i'm the only one she will say anything to. it don't bother me much though. i just laugh at her when she comes over yellin. that REALLY pisses her off ...

oh yeah, the cops like me cause i volunteered to built a DARE car for them. they have'nt found a car to do yet but whenthey do i'm sure there will be cops out here all the time. helpin me work on it ...

 

I feel for you, i had the same shit this past spring, but i got a letter in the mail box, too chicken shit to sign it! They asked me to "stop tuning every engine i could find by 7:00 PM" There stupid kids are still running around at 7:00 at night during the summer making tons of noise. I didn't change a thing, other than to wave at them everytime i cought them checking on me to see what i'm doing and when i'm working on the car. I think it pissed them off, you may want to try the same, just be nice and wave, say hello....blah blah blah

 

start digging grave for her NOW! When you plant her, put your vegitable garden on top, SHIT makes excellent fertilizer!

 

oh that's the best ending to your first post kustombuilder...
the DARE car thing. man, after that the cops are gonna fuckin' love you and then that hammersmashed neighbor of yours is fucked! you'll practically be like an honorary cop or something!

brilliant!

i'm actually grinning right now...

 

Ain't that a bitch. I got a compressor for my birthday, so I'm just waiting for my neighbors to get pissed enough to call the cops. It doesn't help that the city just passed a junk car bill recently. Though my truck isn't junk, to a non-rodder it would appear to be.

 

Damn hippies! If you were my neighbors I'd have you locked up too.


Unless you made me some cool art work

 

I thank the lord i have very very understanding nieghbors.

 

I am courtious enough to realize that 9 is a good shut off time, but I don't put the kids ta bed till about then. I am always tring to careful and not make much noise. Maybe that is why I don't get much done.


When I was younger I made a motocross track on the property behind me parents house and made laps an hour a night. Usually right after wotk. Sometimes with a friend. The nieghbors hated me. The cops came plenty a times. Never had ta meet them though, always stoped at the right time. Miss those days.

 

I can't imagine Cherryblossom being the cause of any of your trouble. Why is it she has to be married to such an asshole? How did you manage to fool her and get her to marry you? If you cause her any more grief by stirring up the neighbors I'll volunteer to testify in court on her behalf. Just think, with you gone she and Nitro could have a peaceful existence. BTW, my .45 Auto is so accurate its scary, and such a large hole. Want to borrow it? hehehe!!!

We used to have band practice in my garage, and I had a dumb cunt neighbor that liked to bitch and call the cops. Unfortunately, she didn't realize that we had an ordinance book (got it after constant harassment for skateboarding). So, I checked the noise ordinance... Maximum of 80dB at the property line... So I bought a dB meter... HEY!!! We're only 65 dB at the property line!!! We can turn it UP!!! and we did! 79dB at the property line, she called the cops again, we showed him the ordinance book, let HIM run the dB Meter, and he told the lady we were well within our rights and she needed to stop bothering the police so they could deal with REAL crime. Man was she pissed!!!

 

I'm with your neighbor, if I saw some head-bangin' tatooed freak with a power tool, and his crazy lookin' associates ( no not you Mongo ) slaving in the garage with some devil music blaring, I would feel for the safety of myself and others.
That really sucks, I have been wrenching in my garage all hours of the day and night, trying to be courteous to sleeping hours like you do, and i have never had a problem in the 10 years I have been living where I do. I guess I can be thankful that my neighbors don't give a shit, or they are just too old to hear the racket.

 

Mike, you never said WHAT you were working on. Anything I'D be interested in?

 

All my neighbors bitch about is my CHICKENS. They are CHICKENS!!!! Say SHOOOO!!!! They run away!!! fuck......OLDBEET

 

Do like I've been doing.

I lived next door to a railway switching yard, and 1/2 mile from the nearest residence. No-one ever complained untill I got caught sunbathing naked on my roof 35 feet off the ground.

My current place is 15 feet from the bussiest train tracks in Houston and across an empty lot and a street from the nearest residence.

Plus, they're all scared of me. Real scared.

 

my old neighbors were always pissed at us. we got a minibike running on a sunday afternoon and he was like can you guys turn that thing off. so i took the muffler off and put a straight pipe on, and rode the thing all the time. then he stopped complaining at us. hey rooster do you have a picture of your friends house?

My neighbors leave me alone. I have a noise ordinance here that starts at 10 pm but I usually stop about 8:30 -9:00 when they start coming over to shoot the shit.

They do bitch about my neighbor to me though. He Starts at about the time I quit.

I lived in another city and had real bad neighbors. We would come home from the local watering hole at 2:30 in the morning on our bikes. We'd zip up into the garage as fast as possible and keep the noise down but 5 or 6 Harleys with drag pipes are loud no matter what we did. We would shut the bikes off a few houses down the street and coast them up to the garage and push them in once we had the door open. He bitched that the garage door opener was too loud.

We finally had enough of this guys shit and we took fertilizer to his front yard and in big letters we wrote dick and ass in his grass. The next year it came out so much greener and grew faster than the rest of the yard.

He bitched how it just disgusted him to look out his windows and see us so my one drunken buddy went out one night and painted all his windows that faced our property a beautiful shade of black.

Another buddy decided that was not enough so he decided to wipe out the guys side yard of any living plants...permananetly. It took three years for anything to grow back. Even when we dug up the dirt and replaced it for our new neighbors that moved in later it still was hard to grow anything. We do not know what the hell he used? Don't mess with a 'nam vet that says it's time to de-foliate the jungle and flush out the VC!

All these ideas came from a little book called Guerilla Tactics.

 

wel even when they first moved in, long before i ever heard any complaints about anything, i would wave as they drove down their driveway (it runs next to my yard and my garage). just trying to be neighborly. well they would allways turn their heads and pretend the did'nt see me. PRICKS! and thats after i put their mailbox back up for them after some punks knocked it off the post. that'll teach me.

they have a 13 year old son who has taken up his parents bad attitude and hatred towards me. unfortunately for him a couple of the other kids that live around here and are his age like me quite a bit and are always over when i'm in the garage workin on something, so they don't take it too easy on him when he starts runnin his mouth. which apparently he likes to do. everyone i've talked to who has met them say they are just STRANGE people. glad i get along SUPER good with ALL the other neighbors around me. two OTHER neighbors have houses JUST as close to my garage as them and i have asked them repeatedly if they can hear me workin in the garage at night (back before i started quiting at 9pm) and they all assure me they never hear a thing.

i'm really not too worried about it because i KNOW that she is just some bored bitch with nothin better to do and he husband has'nt got the balls to tell her to mind her own damn business. everyone should have a hobby and i am hers .
