neighbor called the cops. ON TOPIC...

Cops usually know it's the neighbor with the problem. I had a neighbor who would call the police weekly thinking intruders were in the house. She would hang on the fence for hours while I welded and complain to all the neighbors, who turned a deaf ear. Anyways I dropped an engine in the truck and since the timing mark was dead on, figured I'd take a chance it was on the compression stroke and drop the distributor in. It responded with a backfire, so I pulled a plug, found the compression stroke with my finger and dropped the distributor back in, got cleaned up and started to leave to grab a burger when the police come roaring down the street and block my driveway. He gets out all serious and "at the ready" and says the neighbor reported I took a shot at her. I had to laugh out loud and said consider the source, it was a backfire. This broke him up, and he was gone in half a minute.

 

Man, I lived in the Philippines for nearly ten years, and them people have NO concept of noise pollution. They can sleep thru an earthquake, so a dog barking its head off ALL night in their yard is not even noticed.

Them****holes think nothing of coming home at 3am and beeping their car horn continously in the street until their maid gets her**** outta bed and comes down to open the yard gates!

They'll happily play loud music all day and night, even turning on their car stereo so they can hear it in their house, and so can every other f*cker in the street.

And if you complain, even nicely, you get " this not your country. Go back your country if you don't like it here" spat in your face.

F*cked up people, mostly, though there are 'some' good ones.
Rant over, Paul

 

kustombuilder....Take her down to the Eaton Place for coffee.

 

I'm with ASAP, the best way to deal with*****head neighbors is kill them with kindness. Every time you see them wave real big, smile and talk to them like they are your best friends. If nothing else it will get all your other neighbors on your side. Bake them a batch of chocolate chip cookies, invite them to church, they will leave you alone.

 

I think you're onto something. Instead of racing numbers, maybe paint AMWAY on the side of your hot rod, or ASK ME HOW TERM LIFE CAN SAVE YOU $$. The neighbors will avoid both you and the car.

 

Hey Mike I feel I should share some first hand thoughts on what you are going thru with your neighbor. You have been to my place and know the neighbors are building in around me. So far no complainers but I feel the day is coming and I am looking for another place.

I can tell you what power 1 complaining neighbor has here in Michigan.....my buddy and his pissy nieghbor went all the way in a fight. She got the state involved when the local gov did not do what she thought was enough. The state has the power to stop you from doing anybody elses work....make you prove you own the cars your working on. Now on the painting side of things the you have the right to paint your own car at home in the garage BUT.....you must have an approved spray booth. The "approved " part here means meets the lastest standards in safety and quiality. My buddy found another place to do his work.

The way I see it you have 2 options 1. Somehow kiss enough**** to keep her settled OR move. I know you maybe didn't want to hear this but thats the way it is here in west michigan. The little guy always looses when a******er and the state team up togather. Steve

I can't imagine Cherryblossom being the cause of any of your trouble. Why is it she has to be married to such an****hole? 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!!!

my neihbors are cool so far...we just moved in a few months ago,but we are getting a new house right behind us...guess we'll stop shooting****** over it when someone moves in

what's with the chickens old beet?...you from delaware

 

I really scoped out my neighborhood before I bought the house. Had neighbor problems in town. One neighbor decided that the bamboo between our yard a neighbors then his was unsightly. Took it upon himself to have it cut down. Low and behold there are a bunch of cars in those yards. Then he decides that those are unsightly and calls the city. Where I live now is much better, nice blue collar neighbors. Guy behind me builds muscle cars. Guy across the street likes the english sports cars. And a guy with a roofing business was next door for a while. On the other side is the God Squad. But they're ok, they don't bother me. I take care of the property pretty good, and my garage is on the other side of the property from them. Plus I think they may be scared. Who knows? I just can't stand the uptight******s anymore, that's why I moved out of town.

 

kustombuilder, revenge is sweet and best served cold. Wait till summer, get a super soaker and a bottle of wolf piss (you can get it at hunting stores or agway).... when the windows are up, sneak over and go to town. They'll never get that hideous smell out of their house... mwooohahahaah

 

lol please don't give him any ideas!

 

Buy her a pizza and make up..... hell send them 20!

 

That "god squad" comment is sorta funny to me.

We live in Mormon land here in Gilbert, AZ. 4 of the 10 houses on our street are Mormons (same family, dad & son's!). Best neighbors in the world. They are polite, keep their 11 million kids (mayb less..lol) uder control. The older kids drive waaay too fast though.

Since most of the kids on the street are the Mormon's I asked the Family head one day why he allows the fast driving. The kids would back from the drive way with out looking, I almost hit a couple of them. By golly they all drive slower now. I don't want to see any kid get hit by a car.

The neighbor (lives alone) across from me likes to save unwanted dogs... she has at least 7 there now. She does NOT "get it" on how noisy these animals are when she is at work or out of town. Some of them bark for 4-6 hours at a time or nearly all night.

Out here we are in a county island , so Gilbert city laws on dogs do not apply here,,,dammit

We are going to seek arbitration hearing against her next year. After 3 years of 'talking to her" about the noise, the other neighbors and I are going to take action.

My next door neighbors had a party and were playing Mexican music that sounds like a polka. anyways they are playing it so loud that the windows on the other side of the house are rattling. Can't hear the tv with the windows closed, so I go over and ask them to turn it down some ,nicely, so they do then the lady shows up witha plate of tamale's! and says sorry. I say no problemo. Damn, those were good tamale's! Unfortunely, they haven't played the music loud again. Damn, I want more tamale's!

 

I'm not against religion at all, if it's someone's deal it's theirs, just don't push it on me. But if you've ever lived near them, you know waht I'm talking about. By the way they are good neighbors, they don't make noise. Their kids are well behaved. The dad takes care of the old lady down the streets yard. I think they're just wigged out by all the cars and stuff.

 

I've been fortunate, my neighbors don't mind at all.
Of course I'm the first one they come to when something is broke or they need to borrow a tool.

 

Exactly. I live in a track and no one bothers me, but like Rocket said. They know where to come when they need a hand or to borrow a tool. Funny how things work out.

 

I'm almost afraid to post this, because I don't want to jinx it. But I have great neighbors, Always wave or stop and chat, etc. It goes along way, I give every body my cell # and let them know if it gets to loud to call me, Most of them say the noise never bothers them. My reply is always " You never know, you might want to watch a TV show or you may have a headache one night and hearing me grinding is the last thing you need." Always offer to help fix somthing for them, It goes along way. Also the plus side in knowing your neighbors is, They watch you*****, they know if somthing is not right. The woman next store to me lets me use her garage for free! With out asking I bought her a nice HD shelving unit from costco for $50 for the small stuff she had all over the floor. And when my car gets washed so does hers. One night when I was building my welding table I lost track of time. I was grinding till a little after 11pm. NOT ONE phone call. Now I don't make that a regular habit, but you get the Idea. I stop making noise around 10 and am out of the garage by midnite. Don't let things build up, nip this in the bud right away. also this is very important, keep a log on everything. every effort you try to make nice with her, and the result. everytime she calls the cops and the result. It will be important if push come to shove in court. and also if she keeps calling the cops with no results take her to civil court for harrasment.

 

Fastsporty, where i live now in England I have no problems with neighbours, but I always keep the garage door closed when I grind and I knock off at 7pm latest. Kinda early I suppose, but if I was in the house watching tv and somebody else was grinding out panels I think i would get kinda*****ty myself

 

Hey Crosley, maybe you should "tape" the barking dogs for a half hour and over a cup of coffee you and your neighbor can try to converse while the dogs tape playing in the background and politely ask her how wonderful its sounds. "This is what I hear from your house," be polite, but shove it down her throat,just a thought

i get along GREAT with ALL the other neighbors. there is one on each side of me, one in front and one across the street. it's just the one BEHIND us that has a stick in her****. all the rest of us get together for cookouts and stuff and even though they've been invited the ones behind us NEVER come. they are just not interested in being social (which is fine) but i think it would help them get what they wanted if they were to sociallize and be POLITE to the other eighbors. but then, like i said, i think she just wants to******. i really do.
that kiling them with kindnness thing is funny cause the kid next door will ALLWAYS wave and smile at the ladt when he is over and she comes donw her driveway. she gets the most pist off looks when he does this. i usually turn around and laugh my**** off trying not to let her see me laughing.

it's all really kinda funny and stupid when you think about it. reminds me of junior high

 

"Flight of the Valkeries" Over and over during the legal times at full volume.

Get your other neighbors in on it too and have them blasting at the same time.

If she's already high strung that should drive her right around the bend to "Insanityville."

 

Don't wanna hijack this post,

So just a note to those who've wondered.

I DON'T have any pics of the********* fence. My buddy goads me to drive around the block and look at it the 3 times I've been there since July, but I tell him it's what seperates me bein a hillbilly from Him bein a Redneck. And that even tho it's sickly funny I don't think it's right to put that facing your Polish neighbors house. So, I actually haven't seen it in person. Might be he's fulla***** and thinks it's funny to rag me on it. And I don't wanna be respeonsible for it gettin all over the internet if it IS there.

 

I used to have a neighbor that chained his dog to the fence that was next to my bedroom window. His bedroom was on the opposite side of the yard. When the train would go by at 3:00 and 4:30 the dog would howl his heart out. Not the dogs fault. I told him about the dog howling and he said yeah thats why he had him away from his window.Next night when the train came by and the dog started singing, I picked up the phone and called the neighbor and told him his dog was howling and hung up. Only had to do it twice. He got rid of the poor old dog.

 

Mike, sic that big**** dog of yours on 'em. Better yet have*****o pay 'em a visit after a couple six packs of brew.

 

My neighbors are pretty cool... but we have a couple of newbies here that just don't understand me yet.

For instance... this afternoon some of our friends were over and I was showing their teenage son how to weld... he's been taking metalshop at school and his mom had a bunch of stools that needed fixing... so anways... I ask them if they'd ever seen the BFD run... theyt said no... so next thing you know, I hop in it... warm it up and head down the street... I run around the block, stop in front of the house and then hit the trans brake, get up to 4000 rpm on the limiter and let it RIP! I went down to the end of the street, turned around and then saw our new neighbor outside shaking his head...

Maybe after he gets invited to one of my big parties, eats my free food and drinks some of my free beer... he'll come around.

My neighbor to the left of me always gets the wife and kids something for Christmas... and then tells me "You're getting what I always give you for Christmas... and that's a promise that I won't call the cops on ya'!"

Thanks.

Sam.

I must agree with this...PR is the key.
My neighbor and and I have been hosting a Clambake every year. We shut down the street and have a block party with the city's permission. The neighbor started it and I joined in.

We invite all the neighbors and some outside friends. I invite them into my garage for a few beverages and they view my latest project! Seems they usually come to me to later and borrow a tool or ask for help and then the ones that are not into the car scene usually make the time to ask me how the project is coming along. I found out that a neighbor has a '32 Ford coupe buried UNDER his garage! One of the 'hoods old timers remembers burying it with his buddy in the 50's ..before the garage was built over it!

 

i'll second that about curly's neighborhood clambake,it's a good time...by the way,i probably should have said in my earlier post that although my neighbor was a pain in the yambag,good things eventually happen,the kid who lives in the house now is the son of the people who own one of our more popular cruise spots and is a fellow car nut,so our annual hotrod-harley rib bash is back on starting this summer ,three 1-acre yards full of rods and harley's!
