"The guy across the street threatened me this morning." (REACTIVATED IN CT)

Heh, she even called the cops on the guy, the old fool - she must have NO idea on how to interact with anybody, the self-absorption on her part in this thread is amazing, even for a DUmmy:

The guy across the street threatened me this morning.
 Said " I'll fix you once and for all". I called the cops and it turns out I'm "instigating" because I gave the guy the finger !

It all started during the most recent snowstorm when this guy and the plow he and the landlord hired were plowing snow onto my property. I asked them not to do it but when I went outside later in the day, there it was on my sidewalk (my neighbor across the street witnessed it happening). I had words with the landlord when he came out to shovel . He claimed he was not responsible because the tenant engaged the plow. He had told me during the prior storm that they were splitting the cost. I told him that he was responsible as the property owner. I told him to get the plow back there and remove the snow form my property.

I was getting pretty hot under the collar when the tenant drove up and I used the "f" word a couple of times describing his plow driver and the snow that had been plowed on my property. He didn't like that at all. "Don't you curse at me" he says. The cop said today that I was "instigating" then, too.

I'm an out of shape 63 year old woman and I'm not much of a threat to these guys - both also middle aged.

This morning Mr Tenant waved at me from his car while I was walking my dogs. I gave him the finger and he rolled down the window and threatened me "if you ever approach me again - I'll fix you once and for all".

I'd heard from former tenants in that house that he had a bad temper with his girlfriends. I also don't know if the guy owns a gun.

So I call the cops and learn, much to my surprise, that I am instigating when I shoot off my mouth when someone sh*ts on me or when I calmly, wordlessly flip someone the bird.

"And I would have gotten away with it if it hadn't been for you meddling kids and your dog!"

there it was on my sidewalk

I thought sidewalks were public property.  Unless this DUmmy means 'walkway'.

[Traveshamockery]

This makes one wonder what the real story is.  We all know that DUmmies conveniently forget important details to these types of situations, or outright lie about them.

I thought sidewalks were public property.

It depends. Where my dad lives, he is responsible for clearing the walkway up to the house and the sidewalk directly in front of his house.

That being said, I'm betting this woman let her dogs shit on his lawn or something equally as destructive or obnoxious. I'd have plowed her into her damn house when she started cursing at me. Bet the cops just loooooooove her.

A DUmmy being a boorish ass...now there is a shock.

[Ballygrl]

Ever try actually being nice instead of using your snotty DU attitude in the real world?

[true_blood]

No bong for you today!

The only thing worse than an old byotch is an old DUmmie byotch.

[Airwolf]

I don't know if every state has it this way but verbal assault can get you into as much hot water as if you had thrown a punch. The punisment might not be the same but the cops are not going to ignore it. 

[BEG]

What a lovely sight, a 63 year old woman flipping the bird. She is also probably known as the neighborhood cat lady/hoarder.

The police are not your friend.

They're job is not to protect you, but to enforce the order for the rich subhumans that have wrested oligarchic control over this country.

Any raised voice is a threat to order, even if that raised voice is to ask them for help dealing with a person who made a threat of violence.

Oh no, the threat of violence isn't the problem, your raised voice and extended middle finger is the problem - it's a threat to order.

The police are the enemy of liberty. Look how they've been behaving in Cairo.

I'm sure the pig-lovers are going to be howling about my raised voice in 3...2...1...

So in actuality these guys hired someone to plow the snow around their house and she thought they should let the guy come do her driveway too (it would only take a few minutes) without without paying her share. They refused. If she could afford to feed those obnoxious, yapping little dogs she could afford the $50 to plow her driveway and in front of her house. She got upset and offended and the next day took her dogs over to crap on his lawn. It was at that point the guy said he'd fix her if she didn't clean up after her dog. She flipped him off and called the cops, thinking they'd side with her.

that there is almost certainly one helluva lot more to your story than you're divulging here.

48. Bingo.
   
Her version has him saying "if you ever approach me again - I'll fix you once and for all".

If she's admitting he said it in terms of "if you ever approach me again," it sounds like he's just sick of being constantly harassed. She admit he waved at her, and she began screaming and flipping the bird.

We had a neighbor who would do THE EXACT SAME THING. Scream at neighbors, flip people off, call the police constantly, scream about where people were dumping snow. She eventually had to be sent to a mental hospital.

69.  There is nothing more to
   
this story. Why would you think there was ? I have an inconsiderate homeowner across the street from me. He is inconsiderate to other folks on the street. He has a tenant who apparently doesn't cotton to women cussing him or flipping him the bird. He has allegedly been verbally abusive to women in the past. I've never heard it, but the former downstairs tenants complained about it.

Wow.

No sympathy from me.

90. Flipping someone off   Updated at 3:49 PM
   
is so classless. And juvenile.

There has to be a better (and smarter) way to handle your emotions.

[Evil_Conservative]

The neighbor was trying to be friendly. 

If any neighbor flipped me off after I waved to them, yeah, I'd be pretty irritated as well. 

[AprilRazz]

I bet he was twirling his handlebar mustache while he said it.

The fact that he can properly nail a word such as oligarchic, but completely fail at the whole their vs. there vs. they're thing in the same sentence tells me the he can properly nail the liberal talking points but completely fails at basic English.

[NHSparky]

I calmly, wordlessly flip someone the bird.

If'n your flippin' the bird, ya'll ain't calm.

He has allegedly been verbally abusive to women in the past. I've never heard it, but the former downstairs tenants complained about it.

IOW, I'm going to throw a baseless claim out there and pin the original accuser as someone who isn't around anymore, so the veracity of the claim can't be verified.  Tell me I'm wrong, DUmmies.

Finally, I'm going to take a wild guess and say that if you don't have a snowblower in CT, you're an idiot.  If you don't have driveway melt, you're an idiot.  And if you're not willing to pay the $20 to have your driveway plowed (and trust me, that's about what most folks charge for your basic driveway plow/salt/sand), you're a cheap idiot.  And I've seen people 20 years older than the whiny DUmmie out there, snowblowing, shoveling, etc.  They can do it, you can do it.

Well, that's one of her problems. She needs to find a place where the tenants DO cotton to women cussing them and flipping them the bird.

[DumbAss Tanker]

It depends. Where my dad lives, he is responsible for clearing the walkway up to the house and the sidewalk directly in front of his house.

That's pretty typical, most places the city has an easement to put it in and is responsible for actually fixing it (which is an extremely rare event), but the occupant is responsible to keep it clear.

The old woman is clueless as to the separation of public and private property, as shown in her post here:

24. I tried the "discuss the issue like grown ups". Mr Landlord
   
was told by the plow driver that the town owns 10 feet from the edge of the street, so it was OK to plow onto the sidewalk. I pointed out to Mr Landlord that if that was true, the town owns my front porch since it is less than 10 feet from the curb (19th century house). I asked him to get the plow back and remove the snow. I had asked them when they were plowing, to not put it on my property. I didn't blow up right from the getgo.

I did get a much needed laugh from the YouTube idea !

It varies from municipality to municipality, but a residential road will have public right of way 18' on each side of the center line. The center line may or may not be the center of the existing roadway. This is to allow for widening of the road for future needs without having to use Eminent Domain to acquire the needed property from landowners.

My wife, who is now retired, worked for land acquisitions for our county road commission.  She hated dealing with home owners and real estate agents.

Yep, it's that way up here, too. Matter of fact, if you don't keep it clear and a pedestrian gets hurt, you can be sued, even though the city owns the sidewalk!

That bein' said, if the DUmbass broad was a civil neighbor, chances are everyone on the block would take care of her. I know I plow the sweet old lady's driveway next door whenever I plow mine. Her hubby died a coupla years ago and I have taken it upon myself to help her out! The sweetheart always brings me out a hot cup of cocoa right before I'm done!

She's as sweet as candy canes at Christmas and I would do anything for her!

This old twat doesn't sound like she gets along with anybody, and makes sure she's a pain in the ass. Chances are the whole damn neighborhood knows she's a hag! So they're tellin' her to **** off! "Deal with it yourself asshole!" "We have to take care of ours, so take care of yours, and shut up!"

Looks like the cops agree! Wonder how many times they've been called by this old bitty? Sounds like they're fed up!

[TexasCop]

You'd be surprised at how often we have to deal with people like this woman.  The worst we have is this one middle aged woman (see a trend here?) that raises hell every fall because her neighbor's leaves are trespassing on her lawn when they fall off his tree.  She wants the neighbor cited for every leaf that lands on her side of the property line.
