Neighbor next to some property I bought tried to tell me the property line was a crazy zig-zag line through the woods. (I knew it followed a section line.) Then they moved the survey stake. I had it resurveyed and they were mad at ME! Called the county to complain that I built a bridge over a creek w/o a permit. (Bridge was already there when I bought the place.) Turns out that THEY built the bridge, just missed their property line by about 50 ft. I tore it out. They're constantly trespassing on my property to try and get some dirt on me.

What really set them off was when I objected to them shooting skeet over my property. My wife was cutting trails and they were firing shotguns over the top of her while slamming down beers.

I've got them on "ignore" and am building fences & pine tree barriers. Guess it takes all kinds.

I have one, my goal is to send him over the edge. My wife says Im just the guy to do it to.

ohhh boy... i got some doozee"s. dumber "n a sack of rocks.they live on a 2 acre farmette next dorr to me. other day the husband stops me, says hey (he"s a volunteer fireman) we got a house in town we are gonna burn down for practice and i was wonderin if after we burn it down, we could haul all the junk out and bury it in your field. we will even dig the hole? i couldnt believe somebody would even ask that. i told him nope, dont want it. told him to have a couple dumpsters dropped and problem solved. sheesh.

I got a neighbor that doesnt like me cause I wont go and take out a home equity loan to get landscaping done, boulders/sod/sprinklers, etc. I told him I dont take out home equity loans unless it is real important. I kinda *issed him off. This neighbor is real persnickity about everything, I have never seen such well manicured hands on a guy, he is married to a woman and has kids. This guy also wanted me to put in a blacktop driveway a few years back---He needs a dose of reality and maybe a slap in the face.

My neighbor wont talk to me now... Can't figure it out. Guess he's ticked off about something.

His problem. I get him mad by being nice and not acknowledging there is an issue.

Why do these people who want high-end, golf course-type lawns move to the country? We love our two acre lawn that was an old hayfield 25 years ago.

Guy moves in across the road who does everything possible to his lawn--aerating it, feeding it, Chemlawning it, etc., then complains about my dandelions, my pastures and hay fields and how they are "toxic to the welfare of his lawn." One day I just told him to go back to the development he came from.

I think arouynd here I am the goofy neighbor. A neighbor at our old house was one I didnt trust one bit. Never let my young daughter go over to play with his kids, our power and phone were out one time and the wife went over to use the phone, he wouldnt even let her come in the door, just handed it to her out in the cold threw a few inches of open door. He's since been divorced for unknown reasons.

I've got one who's selling at the moment. He's let me know that several prospective buyers have lt him know that they'd pay the price if only my homestead weren't included in the "vista" that his realtor promised in the ad.

Nothin' ugly about my place. Maintained. Kept up yard . . .

I suggested that if the placement if our house and garage posed a problem for him, that he take it up with his brother-in-law who built the place. Or better yet, with his wife, who chose the spot for their house five years after ours was built.

Im a pretty goofy neigbor. I do things like crushing cans with a tractor and such. We get along real well with all our neighbors

I'm not touching this one. He knows who he is. And I know too many people on here to be risking anybody telling him I said so.

We got a real doozy on one side of us, his father owned about 10 various sized parcels of land, has about 30 bounding neighbors, and has sued all of em at one time or another. I don't want to say that the boy is as queer as a 3 dollar bill, but one day I was walking on our side of the boundary fence, and happened to be a whistlin, and all his cows backed up to the fence line!

Flying bullets can kill even when not in a projectile force.

Shooting guns in the air over adjacent properties is illegal.

And likely so is drinking and shooting them too.

Lots of them around ! Check out the se# offenders list and see if they are on there. We had some of them around here , but I think they moved on.

Neighbor on the right smokes pot, and his kids have a garage band that's not terribly untalented...but they made life interesting when I worked 3rd shift and they practiced during my sleep time. He's always doing yard work, cutting trees, doing landscaping...when he's not remodeling yet another room in his house. Can't complain much, they bought our tickets and took us with then to a Garth Broooks concert a few years back.

Neighbor on the left is a preacher, and possibly the worst driver I've ever met. Between me and the wife, he's nearly hit us at the stop sign at the end of our road probaby a dozen times, because he cuts off the corner when he turns into our road, and THEN looks to see if there's a car stitting at the stop sign.

Both neighbors have the cul-de-sac parked full different nights during the week, the preacher's house usually on Wednesdays and Sundays, and the party people on Fridays and Saturdays. The party folks have come over and helped me when I needed tree limbs cut up and drug out of the driveway from the storm, while the preacher's wife brings us a loaf of sourdough bread every now and then.

So if they can put up with me, I reckon I can tolerate them, too.

We have a farmer neighbor who is really out there. I dont have any problem at all with him planting corn in July and never harvesting it. I dont care that he sometimes doesnt get his planting done and the ground sits idle for a year. Sometimes he has nice looking crop and gets around to harvesting in the following summer. It doesnt even bother me that he destroys his machinery. I dont care that his farm stead is the biggest dump I have ever seen. I dont give a crap that he is paranoid and thinks the F.B.I. is tearing up his equipment while he sleeps. This guy has done more goofy stuff than you could ever imagine and I really dont care, except, he is going to get someone killed. He is always wandering around in the dark with no working lights on machinery, trucks, trailers. Nothing he owns has working lights or is even road worthy. Trucks, cars, tractors are not road safe. License expired years ago, test sticker a decade old, steer tires on grain truck with cords hanging out, turn signals broke off, no windows, straw bale for a seat, number 9 wire holding a spring shackle on, box bowed out 3 feet and grossly overloaded, wagons with 4 differnt size tires, driving for miles on flat tires. Somehow he gets by with this. He actually BACKED down the road 30 miles once because the forward gears went out of his pickup. So, no lights, in the dark, backing 30 miles hanging out the door looking down the road. Everyone complains to the county sherrif and they cant stop this guy and I dont know why. When he kills someone, I hope the county sheriffs office has to answer for what they allowed to happen. Alot of good people have tried to get help from the sherrifs office. He starves his livestock, endangers his family, all of our families and is a disaster waiting to happen in every sense of the word. Anybody close knows who I am talking about and knows how goofy he is. It would be hilarious to watch if there wasnt so much at risk with his dangerous actions.

I got goofy neighbors and I love them like family because they are family. Sister on one side, uncle on the other and parents right behind me. Grandpa doled out lots to all the kids and grandkids as we needed them. Needless to say all the family is located on a 200 acre spread.

My neighbors all have a goofy neighbor, and he is me.

Seriously, I think I've got the best neighbors in the world. We try to help each other when help is needed, and we leave each other alone when it's not needed.

I once had a neighbor who was pretty tough to get along with. I could do it, but it was a one way compromise, all his way. Nobody else in the neighborhood would deal with him, and I didn't unless I had to. He was digging a basement under his old two story farmhouse, and rain set in for a couple days. He said that in the middle of the night the excavation started caving in, and the house cribbing was slowly going in the hole. He said he needed help badly, and honestly couldn't think of a single soul that he could call for help. Sad story. He'd alienated everyone around the community to the point that he had no one to call in an emergency.

Remember the old crank phones and party lines? Our "ring" was one long and two shorts. You didn't mess with the phone if it wasn't your "ring". I was the youngest in the family, and I remember one night late the phone was ringing one long solid ring. Dad jumped up out of bed and picked up the receiver, but only listened. My brothers were getting dressed quickly, and when Dad hung up he hollered, "Neighbors barn is on fire." Out the door they ran to help fight the fire.

We've come a long way since then, but maybe not always for the better.

Sorry for rambling

My fiend has a neighbor. The neighbor likes to take the John Deere A for a ride around his farm , with no clothes on. My friend says she has seen a lot of the neighbor. I said I think she's seen all of him. What else could you see ?

When I was at college I lived in a buddy of mine's lake house in a little run down subdivision on KY Lake. There was a family next door that were some good'ns. The man's whole family lived with in 6 blocks of us. He was on disabilty but was always mow'n all their yards. He was a bad drunk and his old lady came home from work every day and beat the crap out of him because he was slober'n drunk. Their 20 year old son got busted make'n nazi dope. Got out on bail, got busted with another lab before the trial.

I used to have a place to deer hunt where the guy who owned the farm next to it had "whack'n van". I quit hunthing there after drive'n past the van in the woods one day, no deer was worth that.

Dave

Dang, sounds like I need to loan you my AR-15 for while.

All my neighbors have a pretty goofy neighbor: me. I have friends over all the time and we'll be drinking beer and working on cars or riding around the place here in a bunch of old beat up cars. We got a couple stuck last week, so I tokk the Cat out and hooked a chain between the cars and hooked the winch line to the first car and towed them all out. Roy (the neighbor to the west) comes over to drop some parts off, see us pulling the cars out and just shakes his head. We have a good amount of fun out here, but the neighbors all think I'm insane.

Can't remember where you live - the 1st few lines sound like someone distant to me, the rest I wouldn't know about.

There's also a fella in town, not a neighbor, who drove around with a chicken on top of his car. Live one in a crate. He burried tin foil in his back yard. For real. Even got 61 votes when he ran for sherriff......

Yea Iam a goofy neighbor been at this place since the eairly 80's. Have a retired school teacher on one side and a county [hump] so called supervisor on the other.Now I am or was a log hauler [among other things] for the last 25 years or so. I used to be gone from the home mo. on end, so as things changed I ended up being able to work from home.So my neighbor's really didn't know what to think about all this activeity at odd hours. I would do work [welding] on other's equ. and such.Even had some friends have me do some work on their firearms and I some times tried them out in my back yard[yes I had a good back stop a whole hill side]and I really liked to bbq and have some of them ol log haulers over for this and had a hell of a good time.But you know what the neighbors does not bother them to ask for me to help them, till their garden, work on their golf cart, weld something for them.

Several goofy ones here. Luckily I also have a HOT neighbor right next door, they have the inground pool and we have the hot-tub. Win win for both of us as my wife is smokin. Come to think of it there are at least 4 other hot joggers that go buy almost daily in the warm weather! I guess I am luckier than I thought!

I have a lot of neighbors some good some bad some just plain dumb.

Had a college educated couple at the end of my drive who just about drove me nuts. They complained about the dust from the road and my drive. They were both there when they bought the place.

Got now who won't talk to me because he plowed 10 acres of hay under that was mine and friends. hey you go figure that one out.

Had a nice guy lived next door to me in Calif. His wife up and left him and he went crazy selling drugs and having young women over who I would find passed out in front of my house in the morning.

But the best one was when I was a kid was the new people who moved in across the road and destroyed 40 acres of the finest fruit ranch around the area.
They cut and burned every tree on the place an years later when they tried to sell it off in small lots no one would by it stripped of all it glory.

Nope. All my neighbors are the kindest, most thoughtful, generous, helpful folks on the planet.

Wanna buy a used car?

Amish next to us. Has a kind hard working wife that he treats like a slave. Seems to be the way most of them behave.

Rob,Mike,
Yeah, there's no place they can shoot from on their property and be legal. I think that's what pi**ed them off, they knew I was right. LOL. They're pretty stupid, arrogant and mean. I was waiting for them to start tossing the beer cans in the air and start shooting them. Don't care about anyone but themselves and they figure the one who yells the loudest wins the argument.

Forgot to mention, went out one day and found grass clippings dumped in the County Drain (creek) on my property (lawn tractor tracks going back to their place). Next week found tractor tracks leading back into my woods to where a couple of trees had been freshly felled (no logs or firewood on the ground). I put the fence up the next week. Saw them drive the lawn tractor back and stop by the fence for a few minutes, then dump the clippings and head off.

Gene, thanks for the offer but I find it's better to ignore them. I think that's the same way most of the other neighbors deal with them.

The strange thing is that the guy who owned the property before me was even crazier. Convicted child molester who used to hide stolen construction equipment in the woods and had pens full of starving horses, llamas, etc. I thought I'd be a step UP from that. LOL.

We have one who has a glass eye and looks all different directions when trying to talk to him. He accused me once of trying to steal his property because I mow his right of way since he won"t do it.

We have a real doozie, too. Much too much to tell here. The only person I have ever cussed. He's a liar and con-man. It wouldn't surprise me if he's deliberately staying "under the radar".

Yep, had to hold Nancy back that day to keep her from going over the fence to kick his a$$.

Learned a good lesson that day - don't ever cuss Nancy's horses!

Yes, Nancy has a neighbor that falls within this category.

When he dies, they will have to hire pall bearers for his funeral.

Any time someone goes running by my place, seems the cops are right behind them!

Liar!

A certain fence and an incident with SWMBO come to mind.

Have a neighbor dug up my field pump line, which crosses his yard for 20 years, even before I lived here and filled it with cement. Said he decided it was not a good idea. Need more!

Bought my house from my neighbor, it was his father-in-law's place. We knew he had a right of way through our side yard to the property behind us but didn't know it was 16' wide for a one lane drive, that it also took up 16feet in front of his property and that between our houses he had another 16 feet that states I can't put up a fence or building because "i can't stand barking dogs" which makes no dam sense! He is continually walking though my back yard, trying to mow my yard, lets people park in my back yard on the easement even though is specifically states it's only access (why he needs another 16' on my yard is beyond me when he has 20' between his house and mine). He once got in a drunk rage and started screaming at me when I asked politely that his friend move his truck off of my yard! Then tried to say that property line was 20' north of where it actually was, even though he has maintained a flag and electric fence post on the property line since before we moved in. On top of that the 3 properties shared a well at one point. It is on my property and is still hooked to 2 hydrants on my house that I can't use because the power is supposedly going through his meter. So I have the legal right to use it but not the right to steal his power!!!!!!! We have first right of purchase of the back property that has a 200' and a 100' building on it but wont' take it now because he has chosen to put the drain fields from his septic onto it without providing himself easements and has no plans to do so when he sells the property. On top of all of that he is supposed to maintain the driveway easement and for a 70yo man has absolutely no clue how to. The easement is also the driveway to our house. It is full of pot holes and the lane used to have crushed white rock but hasn't had any new put on in over 5 years or more. He rents out storage in the back property so there is a lot of traffic on the driveway. When the holes reform after every rain he just comes out with a rake and puts some of the little white rock there is back in the whole. He has a tractor with 3pt blade but says it doesn't help. I am continually running a harrow through it and now that I have the blade for the loader will start working on it more since he is incapable of doing anything with it. He won't blow the snow on it for any of his customers until the end of the day no matter how much snow is on the driveway so I end up blowing the whole thing with my snapper riding mower. It's a joke. I can't wait to buy some land and build a new house.

Maybe I'm young and arrogant but he just pisses me off.
