I used to have a neighbor that was a real pain in the ass (probably was a leftist but I was young and didn't care about such things). Constant complainer about whatever we were doing. One day I am using a steel flex rake on concrete. He comes over and starts bitching about the noise the steel is making on concrete. That was not smart on his part. I then needed to rake almost everyday, sometimes there were not any leaves, go figure. Finally, the guy brought over a case of beer and the raking quit except when necessary. If this moonbat came and pestered me about my blower, I would just turn it on and go watch TV for an hour. It would be a triple bagger, piss of a moonbat, belch two stroke exhaust, and bring a smile to my mug.
I had two neighbors show up at my door to politely ask me to send my kids to school-----they could walk there---- by another route. Seems both neighbors had husbands that worked the night shift and could not sleep for the noise the kids made in their 30 second walk past their home in the morning. Incredible, just how much noise were these children making ??? Did they yell and shout all the way to school or just when they passed these two homes.
Were my children EVIL and know somehow that these strangers needed to sleep, and venting anger at them ????
When the 3, one 6 years old ,one 8 years old and the third 10 years old went off to school I would take my coffee out to drink on my front porch and watch until they rounder the corner. I watched as they walked past these homes and as they were only 3-4 homes up the street I never heard any kind of noise from them.
So strange that these woman wanted my kids to not walk past their homes. Totally at a loss I did try to figure out if there was anyway to alter their route. Nope, to do so would involve these kids to cross a dangerous intersection and have them walk another 10 minutes to school.
I began to walk the kids to school myself making sure we crept past the homes, I took my dog along for a walk and next thing I hear is the neighbors complaining that my dogs barking was now a problem. My dog was a Saint Bernard and only barked when there was trouble a foot at home. [someone trying to break in or strangers in the yard. meter readers etc ]
I freaking gave up, what ever the Hell the problem these woman had was not my children's problem and I had it with these nut cases. One can only do so much to accommodate neighbors and strangers. I went back to allowing the kids to walk on their own 5 minutes to school, continued to walk my dog past their homes, and when the woman sent the police to my home for another complaint the Cops told me that there are Nuts out there, and I had their number if these woman bothered me again.
What their problem was I will never know but darn if it did not effect me and the kids for a few crazy months.
