[eleonora]

4. Ugh, inconsiderate jerk

Probably showing off..or not thinking at all.

[chicagojoe]

5. Go out and yell at him. Unpleasant, but that's all some people understand.

[demnan]

6. This calls for the 2:00 am concert

Mahler's symphony of a thousand played at top volume should do.

[sbj405]

7. Wow. What a jerk.

I had to use the leafblower yesterday to get the last remnants. I felt bad about using it at 10 am. Of course, the neihgbrs yappy dog had been out for hours at that point. It's actually louder than the blower

[0007]

8. I need an angry management course, I go completely nuts

over the stupidity of inconsiderate assholes. Where does it end?

[Chalco]

9. An elderly neighbor

2 doors down did the leafblower thing at 5am one day. He went up and down the street blowing everyone's leaves not just his own.

Needless to say he only did it once.

[YellowRubberDuckie]

12. He thought he was doing a nice thing, and everyone bit his head off.

That's horrible! I understand the 5 AM thing, but his heart was in the right place.

10. Used to have a neighbor who would work

on his outboard motor at 6:00 in the morning. Every Saturday and Sunday!!!!!

I went to him nicely to ask that he wait until 8:00 to run his motor to work on it.

I got the "F with me and I'll kick your ass" look. Since nobody really can intimidate me, I told him if he didn't knock the crap off, the police would be called.

Next weekend, he pulled the same crap, I called, the police showed up and gave him a noise ticket violation.

He came by the next day to threaten me, but I told him if he crossed my property he would get a 12 gauge up his butt.

A week later he calls the police to complain that my kids threw rocks at his boat. When the police showed up on my door to investigate the complaint, we went to see the damage, which was very minor. I asked the jerk how he knew it was my kids.

He told me the police can pull fingerprints off the rocks to prove it. His boat was sitting on a gravel driveway. Doh!!!

At that point the police left

He moved a month later. End of story.

[Poppyseedman]

Got to get that first cup of coffee down the hatch

[YellowRubberDuckie]

16. I understand.

:evilgrin:

[HysteryDiagnosis]

11. Is he a man.... or is he some sort of a

turkey??

[katmondoo]

14. A BUSHIE for sure

[LaurenG]

17. I had a neighbor like that a while back

He would mow edge and use his blower at all hours. Once he was out mowing in the rain without his shirt. His garden tools were the big industrial types and really loud. My husband thought he was making up for some "lack" he had physically, his leaf blower was as big as he was.

[Mist]

18. I had a neighbor in the apt. under mine

He was a bartender, kept odd hours. He'd come home and blast the stereo really LOUD so he could hear it in the shower. I started vacuuming my apt. (with big-ass heavy-duty vacuum cleaner at 7 AM Saturday mornings (knew he was sleeping after double shift Fri. nights). Only had to do it a couple of times - he got the idea.

[ridgerunner]

19. Sing the I-95 song to him

Fred "August" Campbell And The Spur Of The Moment Band - The I-95 Song


Well I was driving down I-95 the other night,
when somebody nearly cut me right off the road.
I decided it wasn't going to do any good to get mad,
so I wrote a song about him instead. It goes like this...

Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ass-hole tonight.

Yes you're an A-SSHOLE, and don't you try to blame it on me,
you deserve all the credit, you're an asshole tonight.

You were an assho-le yesterday, you're an ass-hole tonight,
and I've got a feeling, you'll be an asshole the rest of your life.

And I was talking to your mother, just the other night,
I told her I thought you were an asshole, she said "yes, I think you're right".

And a-ll your friends are assholes, 'cause you've known them your whole life,
and somebo-dy told me, you've got an asshole for a wife.

Were you bo-rn an asshole, or did you work at it your whole life?
Either way it worked out fine, 'cause you're an ass-hole tonight.

25. Death to unthinking neighbors!

My neighbor lets out her giant, albeit very sweet, dog at 4:15 to bark like crazy on a daily basis. GRrrrrrrr...Sorry you guys had to deal with that.

[Kathy in Cambridge]
