Classic. Hearing that here is just like opening a Christmas present. How thoughtful of them.

At this point. I think I would be breaking some serious laws. I have decent self restraint. But if i thought her actions may hurt my kids - i would blow up her car, house, etc etc....

I did get a chance to drive by their house once, but I was on my way to a call and went by kind of quick. It sure did look like a small type of xmas tree, and it did have lights. I might be able to swing by there tonight for a better look, and maybe even snap a pic

JMJ · 10-20-2007, 02:44 PM

So someone put a new lock on my neighbor's door:

On the window was this fancy sticker:

There was also a paper in the door that read:

"Commonwealth of Massachusetts"
"Land Court"
"Department of the Trial Court"

I didn't open it to read it. I checked on the web and sure enough, house is back in preforeclosure

**Damonte** · 10-22-2007, 11:53 AM

Sigh... all good things must come to an end.

**Rincewind** · 10-22-2007, 01:06 PM

Wow. Why am I not surprised? But that's a fancy lock they put on there. It looks like it would be good for pranking someone you hate

1) When I was in high school, we had some neighbors moved in. They were that category of high school kids who only car about cars. Most Sat and Sun mornings, we'd find home made dope pipes in the lawn, etc. Once when my mom was home alone, they moved the wood from the wood pile (for fireplace) and used it to barricade our front door. they put porn in our mailbox (not the good kind, the WTF sort of sick stuff). THe kids once got in a fight with the mom and drove off in the car. She called the police and reported them as having stolen the car. The parents got divorced eventually. When the mom and kids finally moved out, he had to do over $12k to fix up the house. And here is the fun part - they were part of the group of kids that I got into a fight with at school about once every two weeks. JOY
2) My first teaching job, the apartment across from me was occupied by a married couple with 3 kids. They had a washer, dryer, dishwasher, etc... why do I make this a point? because our utilities were all backwards. I had NOTHING. No Washer, dishwasher or anything like that. I took my one shower a day. So why was my water bill a hundred a month? Turns out the apartments had their letters/addressed switched a year before I moved in. So all the utilities were flipped. They were paying the utilities of a single guy. The guy who lived there before me was an 18 year old pot smoker who never paid anything anyway and finally was kicked out by the landlord. Add on the fact that the guy was an alcoholic and I could hear him yelling at the kids using all sorts of profanity all the way on the other side of my apartment, thorugh headphones! They fought the 'corrections' i was trying to make to all the utilities, saying they were the lower paid ones.
I love this particular part of the story. When my electricity was turned on, it wasn't on. Took several calls. Eventually, someone came out and explained the address changes to me. HE showed me which box was mine, wrote down the info for me and turned in the work order. They fought the change and the electric company wouldn't believe me. SO I finally said... OK... "F you. I refuse to pay my bill. I dare you to turn off my power. F you, F you, F you." and hung up.
The called and left a message saying if I did not pay, they would turn the power off on X date. I took that day off from teaching and sat on the porch to watch the fun. The guy shows up, is totally weirded out by the fact that I'm on the porch drinking and grinning as he comes up to turn it off. A few minutes later, a drunken neighbor comes out screaming - demanding to know what happened. Ah.. sweet victory.

**Skylark** · 10-23-2007, 09:54 PM

add on:
My sister had some neighbors she called the yard nazis. They were constantly on anyone's case whose lawn wasn't perfect. They actually would measure your grass height and call the city if it was too tall.

Her solution. She seeded some protected wildflowers in her lawn. She could no longer mow her lawn anymore. Granted, your lawn is tall for a while, but she loved the rapid look on the neighbor's face when the city guy said "Yup, she's right."

P.s. JMJ -- I owe several hearty belly laughs to your awesome pictures and this thread. I'm almost sad to see it come to an end! Happy for you, though!

actual names of students I have taught

Sir (everyone will have to call my son sir)
Yorhignes (pronounced your highness)
Placenta (it sounded so nice... what does that mean?)
The twins mortez and cortez (last I saw them, they were being tossed into a paddy wagon after being hog tied)
Lovelady (yes.... that was his name)

haha, good stuff....bummer about the apartment situation though.

I took some pictures the other day of the neighbor starting to disassemble his pool. It's still there, but he took some pieces. Unbelievable, i'll try and get them posted today.

Ok early this morning around 3:00 AM I wake up to the sound of a car horn continually honking. As I had fallen asleep on the couch watching TV I thought for a moment it was the TV. Nope. There was a lady (and I use that term lightly) parked outside the apartment holding her hand down on the horn and yelling at the people the apartment above us. I called the police and they sent 3 squad cars. Apparently she thought her boyfriend was cheating on her.
Ya got to love some people…they make life interesting.
