Who has bad neighbors?

I'm not trying to be rude or anything but you fellow BYC'ers have some NUTJOBS for neighbors.
I don't really have any neighbors(our family all lives on about 35-40 acres of property but I don't
consider my family as neighbors)
We did have good neighbors up until about 2 years ago. Now the are GREAT neighbors since they moved away.
The stunts the dad and his girlfriends pulled over there are a topic all by itself.

My husband said "Actually, my wife feeds the deers BUT if I wanted to shoot them on my own property that would be up to me"

He was just a total "A" the enter time we lived there, it was to bad too he was part of the reason we moved.

harryg6167: I have another NUT JOB neighbor to add to the list. In February or was it January? we shot this guy's pitbull. He had killed 5 chickens (not all at once but in two weeks time) and we had asked the repeatedly to keep him up. Then my hubby was trying to scare it out of the yard and it turned on him- he was in the process of killing anotherh chicken too. So my DH shot him. The dog ran home. When the neighbor found out we shot him he has been an A-Hole ever since. We he sees us driving by on the street he speeds up and comes within inches (or less) of ramming us with his truck. EVERY time he sees my husband he flips him off. Just Saturday my DH was helping someone back out of our downhill drive and here comes the neighbor in his truck. He sped up and acted like he was going to run my husband over in the road! He also came very close to hitting our friend's truck as well. My DH tried to flag him down and he got the finger as usual. This guy is only 18 or 19 but his parents refuse to step in and straighten him out so I guess we are going to have to go to the police. We have two little girls and I don't know what this crazy guy will do. So add him to the list of nut jobs! Our other neighbors are great BTW.

Chickenjones, you absolutely need to report this to the police--get it on record and ask them to increase patrols in your area. Maybe even to specificallly stake out your road. I can understand him being upset that his dog is dead, but you did warn them to keep it penned and away from your birds--their lack of responsibility is why their dog was shot, not y'all protecting yourselves and your animals. This "kid" sounds like he needs some serious intervention before someone is injured or killed by his aggression.

This happened years ago. We had bought a fixer on an acre of land. We had neighbors on one side of us, within viewing distance. While we were remodeling we moved the front door from the their view side of our house. Once when we were visiting with them the wife of our neighbor told us that she sits in her chair and looks at our house with her binoculars, needles to say, that's when we moved our front door...and she was really peed off when we did that! We felt so sorry for her husband though, she was really a 'witch' and he was so nice. Funny, she never spoke to us much after that! hahaha.

Hmmm, we have crazy neighbors.

We moved on a road where the trailers are on the verge of being condemned. The trailer immediately to the left of us is my inlaws, nice and new. Then to their left--Mr. Druggy.

His brother lived their first and his stuff was always better then yours and he always wanted to give you advice. He drank warm beer out of his car. While they were building our house, his hooker girlfriend would go outside and flash the workers. I asked the builder if the neighbor was annoying them, hey replied "no, they found the antics humorous."

I called my husband one day and said you know how you wanted to get rid of the neighbor?, Him: Yeah. Me: Well he killed himself. Him: Well I didn't mean for him to kill himself.

His brother, Mr. Druggy moved into the property. We went out one day only to come home and find his girlfriend being arrested on the back of our property. Apparantally, she called the cops and said she had no brain, and had been held hostage for a week and had a knife. The cops chased her onto our property, where one got stuck, lol.

He had some Rhode Island Reds and Barred Rocks the didn't take care of so they came to our property and we fed them. They were happy, etc. One was attacked, he knew, didn't care. I spent a bunch of money on meds and a week fixing it up. At that point he comes over and says he wants his chickens back. I kindly explain that he owes me money for the meds then. He told me I was crazy for spending that kind of money on a chicken and I should have let it die.

He's also come over so high he told my inlaws snakes were chasing him.

Just crazy stuff like that.

I only had one "problem" neighbor, apparently they used more of the "homemade candy" than they sold and the property was foreclosed on

It's not funny because I know it must be awful to deal with in real life, but the part about the guy driving by acting like an A made me think of that NUTJOB mailman on that movie Funny Farm... I can't believe that a person would intentionally try to make you think he was going to ram you! That IS NUTS!! I TOTALLY agree with what Sonoran said- that kid's going to end up hurting himself or someone else most likely & you were only protecting your animals...Some people...

Our neighbors across the street have had several dogs since we've lived here (2 years). Each one has been run over by people that drive entirely too fast down our street. The last one my four year-old was at the window and saw it happen. I had to run over and knock on their door again to tell them their newest doggie was dead in the street. You know what the guy says, "Oh man, we spent $400 on that dog for my mom. She's going to be ticked." SPEND THE MONEY ON A FENCE! Geez. They now have a cocker spaniel that likes to stop and poo in the middle of the road. The next victim for sure.

They aren't at all the only ones with loose dog issues. It's a rampant problem here in our little town. There are constantly strays running about. Often with chains or rope hanging from their necks waving in the wind behind them. The truely homeless ones always seem attracted to our home. The word has apparently gotten out where to go to get fed when you lose your home. I've just re-homed two weinie/heeler mix littermates that found their way over here a few weeks ago.
