Good fences... You aren't able to reason with crazy. 27 years of supervising in a prison has shown me how to reliably manage such mentality, and falling into a retribution cycle isn't going to end well. Good cameras too.
I had one of those neighbors who was obsessive about his lawn. So I'd deliberately mow one row LESS on my side, knowing he'd mow one extra row to keep his side looking good. Then I'd mow two less rows on my side, again he'd make up the difference. I eventually got to three less rows, all with him making up the diff, before the wife told me to stop fucking with him.
Put up a fence in a brand new housing development and to avoid conflict we put it 2 inches inside our property so the neighbors on each side could not say a word.
My next door neighbor stopped me one day when I was mowing my yard to tell me NOT to mow the section between my property and her driveway, probably a 6 foot wide X 20 ft patch. She said I "mowed it too low".
So now I mow mine even shorter so her side always looks unkempt.
Legally, a smart thing to do. Let someone start treating your land like it was their land, and next thing you know you have a case of adverse possession to fight in court. Then see who the petty asshole really is.
This shit ain't natural. Had neighbors as a kid growing up a half-mile outside a town of 700 in an old mining "location" and the same across the country after the army living by the Sunshine Mine, but glad I made it to the middle of the swamp in the Tamarack Lowlands.
The shellac holding the veneer of society intact is worn thin. Makes me think that veneer is only down to the single layer as everything it was supposed to cover has crumbled away.
OK, I admit I ask my neighbor not to mow onto my property. I did it because he was a new neighbor and I didn't know him, and I was concerned about liability if he injured himself while mowing. Two things. I. We have acreage and we use big riding mowers, and 2. After getting to know him, realized he was an AH and a Far Left Dem.
And this, chilluns, is why yer old Uncle Uchuck lives on thirty acres of his own land bounded by creek and forest to keep the neighbors a long shout away.
I would write "A petty little cunt made this line of dead grass" with grass killer, on my side, in 12" letters, so the entire neighborhood could see. Let the games begin.
I have a neighbor like that. So, I let my yard go to to shit. Stuff left out, sitting there for months. Seldom mowed. Now it took a few years of their pettiness to get me to this point, but once it was on, it was on. Eventually they put up an 8' privacy fence, and I promptly cleaned my yard up. SOB's.....
Ahh, the joys of life in the Burbs.. What a douche..

Give 'em one row, next thing you know they're mowing your porch.
ReplyDeleteThat wasn't a porch, that was a Mercedes.
DeleteJohn in Indy
A lot of them around nowadays.
ReplyDeleteThis represents a tiny fragment of why I'll never live in the "burbs." It's gotta be rural or nothing for me.
ReplyDeleteAmen…
DeleteTime for a fence...
ReplyDeleteBeyond petty. Believe if it was me, I'd erect a 6ft fence along the property line.
ReplyDeleteAll marked for a fence and he cannot dispute the line. He is the one that marked it. Of course the nasty side goes toward his property.
ReplyDeleteMy only neighbor is a cemetery, about 200 yards from my house. Best neighbors ever
ReplyDeleteMine too, hearing the gun salutes at the funerals always gives me pause as to the sacrifice some gave to this country.
DeleteIt must get noisy around election time though with all those leftists canvassers. 🤔😇🤣

ReplyDeleteLOL, ftw!

ReplyDeleteStrong fences make for good neighbors

Every chance I got, I would remind the neighbor's wife he couldn't even get the line straight.
ReplyDeleteI hate people.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of the time I had an 8' chain link fence put in.

So glad I don't really have neighbors anymore. LOL!
ReplyDeleteWill the HOA even allow a fence?

ReplyDeleteIt looks to me like a good time to call a surveyor and a fence company.
ReplyDeleteWouldn't it be a hoot if he put the line in the wrong yard? Getting a summons and the opportunity to hire someone to come fix it??
