Difficult neighbors

I don't blame you I would be too. I can't stand people that don't care about the people around them. Its called post modernism they only care about themselves

Yeah, these people are just... I dunno. We have tried to be neighborly with them (this was before the hysterical wife came along) and used to invite their lab over to play with our leo because they were the same age... but they didn't like that the dog always wanted to come over to my house and the dog ended up getting hit and killed by a car anyway because they know squat about training/handeling dogs properly. Now the dog they have (they got another!) starts trouble with my dogs on my own darn property and she won't even come over and GET HER DOG WHEN IT'S ON MY PROPERTY.

errrrrrrrrrr.

Oh, the time is gonna come.... mark my words.

I was just following sage advice about if you don't have alot of experience with chickens to get hens first.... but the time is coming and I am ALSO GETTING DUCKS, TOO!

I would not give neighbors free eggs. What if she did get sick and she can sue you?

I got a neighbor like that which he has so much time on his hands that he is really going overboard on things.

I just ignore him and wave when he waves back. Simple as that. If he makes a complaint, see to it that it can be remedied. If not, just smile and go back in your house or go back into coop and clean out.

If I had a neighbor like that, I wouldn't even try to get along. First time that I saw her, I'd call her over to the fence and tell her that I have no intentions of trying to get along and for her to stay on her side of the fence and keep her mouth shut to me about anything.

Joe Bryant, I think I like your comment the best!

Ewe Sheep, good point on the free eggs. With our luck, she'd do just that. Get sick, and blame my eggs.

Thanks for all the great comments! Here's a little more insight. When we moved in 7+ years ago, she promptly told my husband that she hates our house because it blocks her view...."we intended to always be the highest house on the hill..."Never mind that we didn't build the house, and I guess she doesn't realize that there are about 3 whole blocks above her, not must my house?

Then she tells my husband to plant something big in back of my house to hide the wall of brick that SHE'S sick of looking at. Yes, really. Another time, she yells at my kids because they are too close to her fence. And then she calls our local religious leader to complain to him about OUR kids! She won't even talk to US, which is what she should do.

We have tried more than once to take treats over there, and they won't open the door.

Anybody got any more ideas? I'm fresh out.

You can't please someone like that. Stop wasting your time.

You cannot please her. Give up.

You can't turn a cow pie into a cherry pie.

Turn your sweetness and good intention toward those who deserve you.

 

[wing it]

are you allowed to have chix? if you are just avoid them. some people are just so unhappy with themselfs and feel eveyone should be to. hope all works out

 

[Sedfamfarm]

Technically, we aren't allowed to have chickens...but the city has said they will do nothing if no one complains. And they are currently looking into making them legal. So we are just hoping to keep said neighbor from complaining until they are completely legit.

Don't give her eggs. She will just throw them away. Just smile sweetly and wave when you see her. That drives people like that nuts.
