Bad Neighbors

Not so long ago our evil neighbor complained that Duane left his squad car parked in front of OUR house too long without moving it. They called his boss and the LaCrescent PD. So...Duane moved his car every 48 hours (this only mattered on his long weekends, twice per month) to alleviate this problem. In order to do this, he'd park in front of our house 48 hours and then drive the squad around the block and park it in the nearest available space to our house, just in front of the neighbors yard for the next 48. They didn't like that either. It doesn't go without notice that they have all 3 of their cars in garages in the back and never need parking in front of their house on a public street, they just didn't like anyone else parking there either.

Now...Duane has grown tired of having to move his squad on his days off. I now park in front of the house, he parks his personal car in the driveway (bike is in the garage) and the squad gets parked out back in the lawn as out of the way for Brandi as possible. They don't like that either. The old lady yelled at Duane calling him names I won't post here. She thinks he should park it on the other side of the lawn (despite the neighbor we like...and our GARDENS on that side). She and her husband went to the PD again to complain. The PD told them what they were full of, except in a polite and professional way. They said he was on his property, the car is not broken down, he can park where he wants to.

Next step, Duane and I are looking at putting in a 3 space gravel lot in the back for parking. We are also pricing out fences. Eventually we wanted to do this anyway, but we figure we can start NOW with the fence on the side of the evil neighbors. Fun, Fun!

Now, just for fun...other evil things they have done to others.

1. When we were having our gutters replaced they chewed on our contractors to make sure that the old gutters weren't landing on their property when they were coming off (they weren't).

2. Old lady has been seen walking the property line picking up the twigs that fall off their bushes and our trees. She would sort the handful of twigs...and those that she thought fell off our trees she would toss back onto our property (not legal to throw debris that fell by nature onto neighboring properties).

3. The neighbor across the alley from us has a sleek, small, black composting bin that she used to store on the back corner of her property near some plants and bushes she had. This corner of her property was directly across the alley from the evil neighbor, so they (the evil ones) decided they didn't like it and supposedly called the police (about what I'm not sure!). Eventually, they complained so much that she moved it to the other corner of her property (now directly across the alley from our house). OOOOOooooo, there is a black compost bin sitting by a garden across the alley from us...HOW TERRIBLE! LOL!

I could go on, but I don't want to. I expect better language and behavior from a "proper lady"...so her behavior and demeanor just disgusts me.

That's my vent. It's ok to laugh!

ill say it. baby boy once. and not sure if she said it one more or two more times and i said. "Mam.. Have a nice day" and walked away to go back into the house. As I was walking she yelled "JackA**" of course im grinning cause whose being the baby now? All of that from her was because she asked me to move my car (freakin marked Sheriff's squad with never expiring SHERIFF plates) and I said no as its parked legally on my property. She said she was going to go downtown and complain and I said I had already talked to a police officer about it and she said "Oh ya..what did he say" (realy snotty too) and I said what has been stated to her already basically NO dont have too ( much more words were used tho) thats where the first ok "baby boy" was thrown out. IE if you have a licensed and driveable car you can park anyplace you want on "your" yard without having to move it for ever as long as you are not on the Boulevard... Well I guess if she and her husband didnt like looking a white car on my yard they can stare at a 6 foot wooden fence. ;) That should make them happy. *evil gin*
