— I Hate My Neighbor —I have lived next door to them since 2000. At this point, I could deal with the house in need of painting, or their cars always parked on the street instead of their driveway, or even their occasional noisy late-night drunk fest, but these people...ugh. It started getting ugly about 3 years ago when they got a dog. Of course they never bothered to properly train it, so it is pretty wild. Luckily they did fence in their backyard, so at least said dog is not running loose. However, every damned time they leave their house, this idiot dog stands in the backyard, loudly barking and howling its fool head off for hours and hours on end. They neighbors are often gone overnight, and yes, the dog barks in the yard all night. We have tried everything to get the dog to go back through the dog door and into the house--it will go back in for a few minutes, then it's right back out yowling. I am an animal lover, and I swear, I HATE THIS DOG. I have tried on numerous occasions to discuss it with these idiots, and they obviously don't give a shit. I finally felt forced to report it to animal control, hoping that would finally get through to them. Now they hate us and the tension is getting unbearable. They are still rude and inconsiderate, and the dog still barks. There was an unfortunate incident recently that I won't go into, and now they are writing stupid shit directed toward us on pieces of cardboard, and putting it in their windows. Can you say "trashy"??? WTF? I really, really, really want to move away, but with the economy and housing market being in the toilet, I feel stuck. This situation is causing my family a lot of stress. #5031 — Comments (3) — 9/23/2009 at 4:50 PM — That's Juicy! (0) — That's Lame. (0)
They will remove the dog and hopefully give it to a good and caring home, cos' the current one is failing in every way.
The other question is, moving? Is there any other option? Possibly yes. If you are attached to your home and suburb, find another home in the same suburb, but move right away from these creeps.
Ask the public housing authority for assistance if you are on a low income, or if you own the home try for a good price and tell the prospective owners that is a very quiet, neighbourhood.
Good luck!
