Anyone have any interesting bad neighbor stories to share? Recently, my next door neighbor has started to become a nuisance by complaining about the tiniest details, which is so annoying. They even filed a complaint to the Home OwnersAssociation. Being the only original owners in the neighborhood, my family has been comfortably living with no issues whatsoever for 26 years in the samehouse. Our neighbor who's been living next to us for only 6 years, has moved in trying to act as an authority in the neighborhood.
The most recent incident involved the simple task of cutting grass. One day while I was cutting grass, my neighbor was standing at his fence glaring at me, asif his eyes would prompt me to walk over to him. (Imagine a 250 pound version of Clint Eastwood from Gran Torino). He says sternly, "My wife wants youto move these grass clippings." In my head I'm thinking, "Are you serious? You're standing inside your fence telling me what to do in MYproperty?" Things just got ugly from there. Next thing you know, I receive a letter from the HOA about grass clippings saying that if we don't takecare of it, a $10 monthly charge will be imposed. The $%#^? You're thinking, "So why not just get rid of it?" Well they've started tocomplain about numerous other details which makes living next to them a big hassle. So, since they want to play that game my family has plenty of lawsupporting evidence demonstrating that they aren't picture perfect citizens. As much as I want to fill their gas tank with marbles or maybe accidentlypunch their face or chop a tree so it falls on their house, the law will best settle this...
Cliff notes:
- Bad neighbors complain about petty issues; building a mountain from a mole hill.
- Receive letter from Home Owners Association about r-i-d-i-c-u-l-o-u-s complaints
- The %$^@?
- Headache

Please share some entertaining stories about bad neighbors. Having a bad neighbor is just dreadful. Revenge stories anyone?
