Nice story. Man that would really suck, I don't see my neighbors at all. They are apparently ub3r rich, the kind that donate whole wings to colleges. One of them has like 10 sports cars (2 vipers, some corvettes, a couple motorcycles, 3 lexus', and a freaking minivan).

BTW It'd be cool to have a rants and raves forum section to tell stories like this.

Yeah the old saying good fences make good neighbors is true. But freaking incredible fences that cost more than most people's homes make for excellent neighbors.

I was thinking about a ten foot white polymer fence. It looks like wood painted white, but it'll last longer than your great grandkids will...

And that way I can sunbathe nude with my friends from the Teamplay First website, without worrying about JMJ getting upset!

Update.......lastnight (at around 2 am) they wheeled ANOTHER F'in derby car into thier backyard. This brings the grand total of crap looking junk cars with stupid catch phrases spaypainted all over them to four, count em, four

....i think maybe theyre gonna have the derby right there in their 1 lot backyard.

I have cleaned up some of the old buckets in my yard, but the old car won't respond. I think it needs a new battery, or possibly just new battery connectors. I also pledge to shovel up the rest of the 2-year-old pile of dirt in my driveway and dispose of it and the weeds which grew in it.

This thread has inspired me!

Actually, I have quite a large lot, so none of my mess is visible to anyone else. I have 12 tires, 8 of them on rims, leaning against my composter in the backyard. Next to those, I have the 12-speed bike I bought 20 years ago, 3 wheelbarrows (!), an old wooden ladder, some shingles, a lawn roller, and a pile of old lumber with nails sticking out of it.

Nice update! My guess is the garbage man finally had room on the truck and had to decide ... concrete post stump or mailbox. It was the obvious choice.

Oh boy, did the fit hit the shan yesterday!

So yesterday I get home from work and get out of my car. The neighbor across the street from the Marmaduke house gets home at the same time. Her and her son, both very afraid of dogs in general. They started to walk up to their house when I hear a loud "BOOM!" Marmaduke busted through the screen door and charged them. Granted, this dog is a gentle giant, but he is HUGE. When he stands on his hind legs his head goes to the top of a sliding door. My neighbor freaked and started yelling at him to go home. I watched and heard her say to someone at the Marmaduke house "You need to get these dogs home NOW!" The person she was talking to was one of the workers who works for the husband, he doesn't even live there. He started mouthing off to the neighbor and called her a bitch. As soon as the female owner of the dog got home a woman rushed out of the house to explain the situation to her. The owner of Marmaduke then went to talk to the lady across the street. They argued for like 10 minutes, then the husband went over and spoke with her for another 10 minutes.

Marmaduke's owner just thinks that the neighborhood has it in for her. She then came to my house to ask me some questions. She said "The whole neighborhood hates us!" Of course I didn't disagree with her, because they do. She thinks the neighbors to her other side have no issue with them, but I spoke to him and he's just a passive guy who won't complain about anything. She is worried that one more call to animal control will get her dog taken away from her. I then told her "Oh, by the way. Thursday and Friday of last week I was woken up by your dog at 6:30am....both days." She just shook her head. She just DOES NOT see it. She is completely clueless.

On to this morning. As I'm getting ready to get into my car to head to work, she says "Hey John! I was woken up by a dog barking at 6:10am! Did you hear it?" I said "No. It wasn't my dog because he's in my room and I would've turned his crate upside down if he did that." She said "I bet you nobody else complains, they only complain about my dog!"

I think she's batshiat crazy, that's for sure. To top it off, she leaves today to go pickup her son from school and decides she's going to defy the neighbors. She ties up Marmaduke outside for like 25-30 minutes while she's gone. My wife called me and I could hear him barking in the background, he barked the entire time she was gone.

Why is it that bad things only happen to good people?
