How to deal with the angry neighbor

[vibratoking]

Thanks for all the support! Egging me on to hurt him is probably not what I need right now, although it sounds like a good idea many times. Personally, I've been thinking about duct tape and a baseball bat. Not really interested in going to jail over this short dicked excuse for a human being.

The HOA has no real teeth. None of them really do. We can fine him, then lien, etc...IMO, it won't change his behavior. He's the type that is willing to live with a lien, I am sure. I'll pursue code enforcement with the city. Then the Colorado Dept of Rev and the IRS. I hadn't thought of the EPA. I'll have to investigate that as well.

Guys like this are hard to deal with cause they're motivated to be assholes, while I just want to live my life. It's funny how he provides me with motivation to fuck him back. Right now I'm motivated.

I wouldn't do that. He's not your kind of guy.

Sorry you are having trouble with the neighbor.

I think everyone experiences this at least once in their life.

I had some Russian neighbors that worked on cars all the time.
The problem was they didn't start until at least 9:00pm!
They seemed to use a hammer to fix everything.

Around here they have what is called Community Enforcement that patrols and enforces the codes.

Like if people have three cars parked in their front yard, or excessive noise that disturbs the peace, or running a unlicensed business from their home.

The trouble with dealing with these dirt bags is that they will most likely resort to ugly tactics if they find out who dropped the dime on them.
Retribution can be very dangerous.
And since you most likely can't stay at home 24/7, there is a good chance of having windows broken or worse.

So, if your local community enforcement won't do anything then maybe a group of the residents there can go over to his house and talk to him about it.

Check to see if his boss knows he is moonlighting with his customers.

You can't choose your neighbors most of the time so getting this ass hat to cease and desist will be challenging.

GOOD LUCK!

and keep us updated.

Or you could simply drop the jack on him when he is under a vehicle.

Best one of all! Elegantly simple!!

(Shrugging) I dunno officer...he was like that when I found him...

Maybe you and all the other neighbors who want him gone could try raising chickens in your backyards. The HOA could make a temporary exception for that.

Just when I was about to believe that Structo was a nice fellow....

Barber shop quartet. Nothing sadder that a quartet with one original member and a mumbly soprano.

I might have agreed with you if I'd never heard the Youngblood Reunion tour.

That was sad.

Quite the mob here. I had a problem neighbor years ago. I guess I was his problem. He started making what I thought were bogus noise complaints. Even the bylaw officer was tired of this guy. Then his wife left him...
turns out he was signing up for dating services.... then he had a heart attack and died. I haven't had a problem since. Sometimes karma has a way of working things out.

whats his ol'lady look like?

Without doubt, the zoning approach will be the best avenue of pursuit. Otherwise, you're just inviting physical confrontation. What you need is a mole to be videotaped and recorded having his car worked on and paying for the work. I really don't know of a better way.

Be glad you don't live in my area. The good ole boys in authority would allow him to work in YOUR driveway, and stand there and spit tobacco on your roses while he does it!

I'm only half-kidding.

heres another idea -

get some big name preacher to go over and give a big sermon to him about being a good/crappy neighbor. Lots of 'your gonna rot in hell stuff unless you repent'

Pay that preacher for a full day - make sure he knows he only gets paid after he spends 8 hours with the guy.

I'd do most anything to get rid of someone like that gnawing at me, who wont leave my house.

if its doesnt work probably worth the 100$ to aggrevate that guy.

I used to know one fighter (backer that is!) that would have bought 1000 stink bombs by now - the guy would get pelted every night. His wife would be pelted whenever she walked out the house....get the idea - hope you like the smell of poop.

or - approach one of his clients - pay them off - then videotape the mole getting repairs done, etc....

No one brought up out of town muscle.

If I were going to do something to him...

Start walking around the neighboorhood in ruby slippers and calling all dogs Toto. When he catches fire they will know who to blame but they won't because you are crazy.

Steal banners and fiberglass mascots from steak places all over town and leave them in his back yard.

Sneak up on him while he sleeps and tattoo a swastika on his forehead then make it into a spinning prop then hide that with a poor rendering of whomever won the Oscar for best supporting actress in a silent role last year.

Once a day come running out of nowhere and nail him in the face with a pie tin filled with shaving cream. Have a friend honk a bike horn everytime.

Kick him right in the jimmy.

Dude, you have thought this through. I like yer style. I'm on board for a bit of the old ultra violence if it comes down to it.

#1 - Get friendly with the local meth-head
#2 - Send him to the movies on your nickle
#3 - While he is away, steal his meth lab and hide it in a-hole's storage shed.
#4 - Call the narc squad and complain about the "strong chemical smells".
#5 Enjoy the quiet for 10 to 20 (with time off for good behavior).
