%^*cking Neighbors! Warning contains curse words. Lots.

OMG,, I can't imagine!!  I've had insane neighbors who let their dogs bark all day or all night,, a neighbor who played her TV so loud that it came through my walls (or ceiling as her TV was upstairs and I could hear it downstairs in my place),  but never had someone shoot off a grenade !!!  Glad the police came and I sure hope your neighbors behave in the future.  Keep calling the cops if they don't.

OMG I would be pi$$ed.  I am glad the cops came.  Hope it got through to them, but. . .  You sure don't need this nonsense going on.  Oh and I had to laugh (sorry) about you running out bald and in pj's.  I am impressed.  I would have thrown on my jeans and wig and then gone out lol.

OMG, I'm so sorry that happened to you on top of the chemo SEs, but I have to say you have a great way of telling a story, and as bad as I feel for you, you made me LOL reading about it.   Big (((HUGS))) to you, and so sorry you live next to a moron, but glad neither of his rockets have hit your house or car!     Deanna

OMG! What a tool....hope you don't have any other issues with that one!

My neighbors across the street are really F'n idiots too! 4th of July they shot off fireworks off and on until 2:30 in the morning! Not only did they keep me and the hubby awake, my poor dog was a total wreck. The whack jobs also have a spotlight on the back door area that when they put it on shines right into my bedroom! The worst part about these nimrods is that they have about 7 or 8 dogs. One small one like a Jack Russell and the others are Boxers. They have an invisible fence that is supposed to keep these dogs in but they have been known to get passed the fence and chase people as they walk down the street! The neighbors put their dogs out at all hours and all these dogs do when they are out is bark like mad. Wakes me up, I have had to report them for the dogs barking at least twice!

we too live with the neighbor from hell. Last year we were away for a few weeks and when we got home found they had cut down six of our beautiful evergreen trees. My husband went over to discuss what the heck they thought they were doing? The guys excuse was my wife has SAD and needs more sun light. Oh yea they had asked if they could have us take down a few trees but we said no. Makes our acreage private.

Anyways my hubby says to this turkey "you need to grow a pair" and is this what you teach your children that it's all right to steal from people? My husband didn't think his wife got the point so we phoned the police who came out and the guy admitted he did it. We decided not to press charges but let them know we will be making sure they don't do anything like this again and have told him we will build the ugliest fence we can get away with if they don't smarten up!

And their two dogs regularly leave their messes behind.  I was going to throw it into their yard but after thinking about it decided that wouldn't be right. Return evil to no one right?

I live in an urban area and my street is really busy to boot. The thing that bugs me with the neighbors dogs is that if they are out when other people around the area are out walking their dogs on my side of the street, the dogs that are supposed to be penned in by the invisible fence will get out and chase after the people who are walking their dogs. Some of these people are older and I'm worried that some day one of my neighbors are going to get hurt. The small dog the neighbors own almost got hit several times as it goes out in the street when chasing people. I also fear being out with my dog and one of these dogs come over into my yard and attacking my dog when we are outside and me not being able to stop it.

Most of the people in my area (like me) they abide by the law concerning their pets, but not the idiots across the street

I so can relate. Twenty two years ago we bought a very cute 2 and one in a starter neighborhood of tiny homes. This was in Sacramento. We fixed our little dumpy house into a lovely little gem! It had a great back yard and trees and porch-loved it! My hubby and I had a gazillion student loans and it was what we could afford. We were happy, 2 dogs and 2 jobs kept us busy. One one side we had a fiesty old woman neighbor and another older woman on the other side. Ahhh.

Then the old lady on the one side died. Her family sold the home to this young young hispanic boy. We couldn't figure out how he bought this house. He won a settlement from a car accident. He had a white girl friend he screamed at. The music was outrageous. He wore chains, low slung shorts, scary designs shaved in his hair and got a pitbull puppy. Cutest dog. He turned it into a killer. He would fight the dog in his garage and the sounds were horrifying like out of horror flick. I called and reported it to the humane society. He banged on the door vowing "bad blood" and I would regret. I said to march off the porch or I call the cops. He had no visible means of support. BMWs and high end cars would drive up, go in the house stay 15 minutes and leave - all hours. We ended up leaving our home after a pistol whipping and ambulances and cop cars all over. Somebody didn't get their stuff or someone tried to take it, never found out. I told my husband I am not sticking around for more. I was worried he would hurt our dogs when we were gone. 

But that's not all! The old woman on the other side had her son move in from prison. He spoke exactly like a Cheech and Chong stand up routine! Long hair greasy and used the f word as everything from a noun to a verb, adj and adverb! He slept all day and played music all night so loud I could not answer the phone in my kitchen. I called the noise control board. He comes over bangs on the door. "Hey Man what the F?" After he left, our neighbors across the street came over. They told us "David" was a 2 strikes and staring down 3rd strike lock up. He had nothing to lose. I said what was he in for? They wouldn't tell me but said "Don't mess with him." So after our run in with the newly released prisoner and the drug selling -fighting pitbull party hearty neighbors on the other side... we called it quits. 

We mailed the keys to the bank and foreclosed on the house. Couldn't sell it. Ruined our credit for years. No regrets. There is something to be said for covenants and restrictions and over 55 communities. We bought in a much nicer neighborhood after that.. well rented for years. I read your post and flash backed to our own hellish neighbors. I would move if I were you. If they are doing that now, they will continue. Some "stupid" is forever in the genes. Cut your losses and frustrations.

I just read this and first thing I though of was "Kudos to you !!!!!!!!!"

And as for the non-matching pyjama top and bottoms - my niece wears mismatched socks everyday so I believe pyjamas must fall into that category as well
