So following on from another thread regarding a nosy neighbour I thought we should have nice shiny thread with your HORROR, The HORROR neighbours
I have a horror neighbour
now I live in a semi detatched home and the neighbour I share a common wall with is the best neighbour anyone could have
in fact the neighbour on the otherside of this neighbour is AWESOME as well and we all have a great relationship and help out as much as possible
However the neighbour I share a fence with TOTALLY different like POLAR (icy cold) opposite
She moved in 6 weeks after we moved into our home and we did the neighbourly thing and said G'day ETC and tried to be a nice as pie
However I think because of the generation gap I was in my early 20's, she is OLD, 60-70's she took it upon her self to be rude and down right UGLY
nothing much happened the first month or so but then it started
First she complained that my dogs barked to much during the day
So I decided to stay at home and see
and sure enough my dogs were barking alot
but the reason they were barking is because she was banging on the C/B fence stirring them up
I started to keep my dogs inside to try and be neighbourly but NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!
Next was a dispute of my garbage bins PERCIEVED to be on her land and the amount of garbage spilling from my bin
now I bag ALL MY RUBBISH and RECYCLE ANYTHING that can be
she throws a whole heap of garbage into my driveway and tells me off saying I am a litter bug
however the wind ROARS down the street as we are at the trough of a valley and it brings rubbish with it
Again I pick it up and try to be nice (all the time I am plotting revenge)
then there is a lull in hostilities mainly because the wife and I were busy with planning the wedding, career changes and generally trying to avoid the neighbour
So then one day I finish my rounds early and head home to call some clients for appointments when I see
the Neighbours in my drive HACKING at my HEDGE WTH!!!!!
I tell them to get off my property before I call the police and I am LIVID
they promptly leave and I am left to clean up the cuttings
a few weeks past and again early finish and this time my driveway is covered in the clippings of their Murraya and it is all over my weekend CAR!!!! (my car is my 2nd child )
and he is happily clipping his hedge in my driveway
So I go OFF
this is where there is no more mr suck it up and be the bigger man
ITS ON
all the leaves are dumped back over the fence every week
bins right out the front of their house
Lights may or may not have been redirected
and DOGs are allowed to play up the side again
they get the message and for 5 years nothing happens till the joey was born
Now she has resume hostilites and has called Sydney Water regarding my using water to clean the car and bins
(no fines as I know the rules )
She has told me off for parking my cars out the front of her house and on my drive had a HUGE go when I was working on my car with mates who promptly asked under what authority she had??(COPs for mates FTW!!!!)
Council has been called regarding the dog noise oh and no barking was recorded when they investigated
I just cannot wait to sell and move on so I can give her the gift of helping her remove the weeds with pretty flowers in her front yard and maybe the green lawn of kikuyu on the nature strip
I heard PATH WEEDER has a residual effect in the soil for up to a year
