Tony Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 yes i have an obnoxious neighbor.. he has to have every gas powered device known to mankind ! lawnmower , leaf blower , hedge trimmer , weed eater, gocart , chain saw , snow blower . oh and i left out his stupid vehicle vacuum cleaner also.. this guy makes it a habit of doing something stupid every saturday or sunday.. he likes doing this stuff during the races or football , baseball, baketball games , to run everyone of them from 6 am to 9 pm.. then when hes done trimming and cutting and doing whatever he does he sits in his garage and watches traffic go by .. what a moron ... he must be bored or something.. maybe i need to introduce him to archery , thats a sure way to keep him busy instead of making so much noise.. i could just close my windows , but i can still hear the noise through them.. any advice on how i should take him out ? or would a carbon arrow in his garage door get my message across .. i dont mind it when its his wife , the cute little thing , but hes really getting on my nerves... any suggestions ?

leatherneck Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor not sure what to do. I also like working in my yard with good old gas powered tools arrr arrr aarrr makes the blood get flowing!. But I make sure as not to start too early and bug too many neighbors. and I also like to sit in the garage with a nice cold adult beverage and admire my work when I get finnished. Although you cannot stop this gentleman from doing his yard work, maby you can come up with an agreement as to certian hours that the loud tools should be used, and heck if he likes doing stuff that much maby he will come over and do your yard for you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

preacherman Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor I don't have obnoxious neighbors who run loud power tools..........they are just loud mouths! We moved from the country, while pastoring there......to the city and into a quad plex. Let me just tell you that neighbors on both sides of you........this is not a pleasant thing. I am so ready to buy a house in the country that it is not funny! Maybe someday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GWSmith Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor You could have him mow your lawn once in awhile too...then your arrows wont be bouncing off the weeds My problem here is the neighbor mows my lawn Without Permission!!! He always mows it too short and now its burnt! I say sell your lawnmower and have him do your lawn...buy another bow Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor [ QUOTE ] maybe i need to introduce him to archery , thats a sure way to keep him busy instead of making so much noise.. [/ QUOTE ] It probably wouldn't work...I've never seen a gas powered bow! Here in Minneapolis/St. Paul we have a local talk radio show called "Garage Logic." One of the indicators of status in the mythical town of "Garage Logic" is the number of cylinders you own. (6 in the wife's car, 8 in your truck, one in the lawn mower, one in the weed trimmer, etc...) The higher your CI (Cylinder Index) the higher your status. It sounds like your neighbor would rank among the town's more "affluent". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hutchies Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor I have one of those neighbors. He had his g/f living with him and here three little ADD/ADHD kids. Then the she and the kids left like a year ago and now I heard they are coming back this weekend. Bad part is when they move in stray dogs will start coming around and they all seem to come from that house and just run around the neighborhood. Wonder if a carbon arrow in one of those dogs butts would get my point across? I have dogs but not 15 flea infested, running wild mongrels!!!!!!!! Can you tell how much I hate living here?

HarvDog Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor Don't you just love neighbors like this? I don't really have any suggestions for you since I'm focused on what to do about my own obnoxious neighbor. Have I shared this recently? My neighbor is an old retired guy and his bitter old wife. She suffered a heartattack around Christmas. While she was in the hospital, he told my father-in-law that we were welcome to park in this spot (which we only did occasionally). Well, of course, after his wife recovered and the very first time I parked there, I got a note. I wrote a very nice but direct letter back to her explaining that this was a public street and that her husband even stated that he didn't have a problem with it. Well...you're not going to believe this...within one week, a fairly new car with temp tags showed up, first in their driveway, then in that space on the street. Can you believe that she actually went out and bought another car JUST to park it in that spot. These people are just plain crazy! It's ridiculous but I continue to be a good neighbor to them. Even though, I would just love to put an end to her non-sense once and for all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griz Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor Well Tony as you know I don't have a problem like you do. My closest neighbor is about 2 miles from me... But I do have a gas powered horse that I let in the yard. He keeps my yard, well pretty clean and groomed and I even got that problem solved to. Bought my wife a brand new scoop shovel and a rake... I'm like the others.... Move to the country. It's so peaceful out here, except for my wife when she has yard duty and then I just shut the windows...

Tominator Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor A little sugar in his little red gas tanks might do for a while. Don't really know Tony. That's a tough situation. Really not much you can do IMHO, except move, but that's pretty drastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strut_Buster Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor Whats wrong with gas tools? lol You should try to get him into archery.. i bet he'd love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HuntingInMaine Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Re: The obnoxious neighbor Have you ever asked him to hold off on the power tools until later in the morning? You can't say much about the work later in the day but it is just a common courtesy to wait until later in the morning. I used to work third shift and a neighbor of mine had a habit of picking through the dump to find old lawn mowers and such to get running again. Then he would use these loud and obnoxious things to mow down dead corn stalks. Then he would start shouting and swearing when it would bind up. I invested in a noise machine to cover up the racket and get a few hours of sleep before having to go to work. Now he has chickens that like to stop under my bedroom window at 5 a.m. and let me know it's time to get up. I started throwing stuff at them and haven't seen them for a couple of days now! lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
