small gauge shotgun with rock salt. the dogs will get the picture and it's nonlethal as long as you dont shoot them in the head with it.

however, the first course of action is to go to animal control and report the problem, then immediately go to the neighbors and tell them that you've called animal control. after that, feel free to tell them that if the problem continues you will defend yourself with any means necessary.

That path has been gone down. They are nonresponsive about it. It's a rural area and the Sheriff has notified them of the complaints on them. The property owners (not the current renters) are threatening them with eviction but are slow to do anything because they fear they won't get new renters in a reasonable amount of time.

Being rural, gunfire of any kind isn't uncommon; nor is it alarming.

Dude - this thing STINGS! I had a friend shoot me in the back twice at about 70 feet and it felt like a NASTY wasp sting - through a denim shirt. We did it because I figured if I was going to shoot at something with it - I should know what it feels like. - BTW: my friend didn't get a 'free shot'..

I checked my area and someone reported a MILF living down the street from my office. But there are no houses there! (It's a loading area where new cars from Asia are loaded onto trains for delivery to the US.)

I'm thinking he was so excited that he put the push-pin in the wrong place. Good thing it wasn't a real push-pin! (Ouch!)

Just sat down, read the entire thread, ....amazing.

JMJ I feel for you man, when I was living with my parents, the last 3 years of high school where a nightmare...Ill give everyone the goods.

Summer of 2001, Cold Michigan Summer

New neighbors arive, husband is a portly fellow, looks like a possible serial rapist, Wife looks like she could be a crack head, hair a mess, frizzy...the works. So we all decide (and I'm around 15-16 at the time) to go over and introduce ourselfs, do the neighborly things ect. Talked for about 15-20 mins about careers ect. Something just seemed odd with both of them, and I remember their kids being in decent shape at this point in time, I would guess the daughter was around 7-9, and their son was probably 5-6. Time goes on, nothing really happens, but all of a sudden when they get settled in, the husband desides that "this" part of the grass was his, now my step father kept his lawn mower at a specific setting...the higest one possible, the longer the grass the greener/fuller it looks. We had almost an acre of land, with a push mower, he cut it every other day, sometimes every day if it rained, so dont get the impression that we let our grass get out of control, he was just a lawn freak. Anyway, back to the neighbors, the part of the grass that this guy was cutting was past his plot line(we knew this since we just sodded maybe a year before) and was cutting it on the lowest possible setting since he cut the grass maybe once a month. Paul (step dad) went over several times and talked with the guy about the grass, and this wasn't really his grass to cut ect. Again time goes by, maybe two weeks, I come home from highschool to see that the guy ripped out the grass at the ends of his driveway and filled it in with orange landscaping rocks(their house was brick...pink bricks) looked horribly trashy. The grass wars had ended after that.

Maybe a month later, we call the police on them for having their dog outside, all the time, no food, water, ect. Police showed up, gave them a verbal warning to keep food outside for their animal and to keep the poo cleaned up off their driveway(always smelt like poo when it was hot out). So about a week later my mum's work threw a Cedar Point trip, everyone parks in our driveway that could, one car parked across our driveway (by the way we live in a cul-de-sac). After we return home, we notice that one of the Doctors cars were missing, called the police, they informed us that it was towed at the neighbors request because she was unable to back out of her driveway. Not only was that impossible and we actually talked to the Officer who went out to view the situation and he told us over the phone that he thought that the neighbor was over reacting. But since we are in a cul-de-sac and its illeagle to park in one, on the streets it was towed for that reason...first time since I lived there has anyone been towed, all the neighbors are really close and police usually let this one go by the way side since most driveways only hold 2 cars, you can fit 2 more cars, but they hang over the sidewalk, and into the street so that looks tacky, no one does it. Car wars ends.

After this happens, we do a little digging, found out where they used to live in Michigan, about 15 mins away. Mum drives over to the old house, talked to the new residents, they never met them so she left. Went to the neighbors, one was an elderly lady in a wheel chair. Mum talks to her for about 30 minutes, comes back and explains why they "moved". Aparently Mr. Brightside thew a bag full of dry concrete onto this lady, and knocked her off her wheel chair. A restraining order was filled, and they were forced to move. Concrete wars end.

Another week goes by, we were leaving our house, and they had their white trash brother over wearing pink hot pants, and a black tank top. We looked over and they thought we were trying to get a look at what they were doing, so this guy decided it was appropriate to put his hands out, spin around screaming any four letter word his child like mind could come up with. Possibly the funniest thing you would see in your life. So some time goes by and a foul smell is starting to reek from their house. We found out that they havent let their dog outside in a month, and the entire house was filled with fecal matter and urine. Well they fixed that by caulking all of their windows shut at every seam possible. Urine wars end.

Since all of this we haven't talked to them in 4-5 years, house still looks like a radio-active wasteland. So looks like there are crazy people just about anywhere you can go, just hope that once I move out of this apartment where the kids below me smoke pot every night (once in a while is fine, but sheesh) I can get some decent neighbors.

And I'm sure theres some things that happened in between what I've said, those are just the ones that stick out in my mind currently.

**Ferris Bueller** · 11-30-2007, 01:48 AM

Its cases like these that make me say thank god for a homeowners association and deed restricted communities.

barefacedstorm · 11-30-2007, 05:35 AM

I forgot to add that since all this happend 4-5 years ago, their kids are morbidly obease, and not one of them lay a foot outside uness its to get in their car and goto work. I wish there was some evidence to this day that we could get them evicted, but the police seem to think our word of mouth isnt enough for them to snoop around inside the house. As long as they keep to them-selfs and the smell dosen't come back, the best my parents could hope for would be some mortgage lates on their end.

Cut the cable TV service to their house, that'll get em outside.

I chuckled at the “Pink hot pants and black tank top” thinking this was back in the 80’s. But I didn’t realize anyone still had those in 2001. I don’t know how you didn’t just start laughing at that guy. I couldn’t have kept a straight face.

Each state needs to find a large area of land that is about as useful as these people and JMJ’s (old) neighbors. Then, when these people have to “relocate” we have a place to put them where they would be in good company.

I didn't either, when he saw us laughing it just provoked him todo some more...gave us atleast a conversation starter for christmas that year.

barefacedstorm · 12-01-2007, 10:14 PM

Also some new neighbors moved in next door to my apartment today. "Classy lookin' folk they be." I can tell I'll be making runs to the leasing office quite a bit, they are in the hallway right now loud as ever. I wonder if their mother graduated high school, their "wanksta" son will fit right in with the guys who live beneath me...I think god has it out for me with neighbors.

**P8riot** · 12-03-2007, 02:40 AM

Whelp.. three of the dogs got their first stings. One yipped but they all ran like HELL! We'll see how it holds out.

They didn't accost us coming in but as soon as I went out to clean up the boat I guess the owners had let them out and they were all over us. I ignored them for awhile and then one was taking another dump on our lawn.. so I made it clear they weren't welcome there.

No Sheriff, no angry owners, no more dogs the rest of the day.. clean shoot
