my car tax disc expired on the 31st of July and i was going to tax it before the end of the week and she called the police to report it even though it was just parked and not in use and it was taken. she is always peeping through her blinds at my visitors and after they have gone i always receive a note of complaint that i get too many visitors, i never have fun anymore because she is making me miserable. how can i make her see she is making my life hell. i know she is in her mid sixties but hey you are only young once.

File harassment charges against her.

Where do you live? Are u my next door neighbour? This is exactly the same as am going through it's freaky, I had Police come round as my car tax disc was less than a week out of date but I had to wait until I got paid to re-tax it. I then scribbled across the old one and stuck it through her door. Her door opens as soon as i come out in the morning and come home at night! She had a go at my mom for parking outside her house eventhough she don't drive herself and I got a letter of complaint from her. You can't do owt but best thing is humour her cos what a difference it makes and of course play her at her own game, she a nosey, sad old sod that got nothing better to do! Like you say you only young once take no notice!

Save the letters then show the police next time she calles them up (if there is a next time)
Last year the same thing happend to me as well (exactly the same actually, where do you live? lol joke) We needed to change our tax disc and we were told it has to be off the road compleatly if it has no tax.
anway our mrs down the road decied to call the police and she was within her rights to do so, but she would always put little notes on our car saying 'dont bloke the drive way' ... WHAT DRIVEWAY?! one time my hubby refused to move his car and she rammed (!) it, i seriously think these people are mentally ill, they dont know how to be social at all. you should go round and have a really good talk with her ask her what is her problem?!
good luck, (we had to move!)
PS: at least its not really loud music late at night that WOULD be a pain.

Sometimes you just get one of those nutcases. My mother had one. When she died they found mounds and mounds of newspapers piled to the ceiling in all the rooms. She lived alone because her husband moved out and took a room in a rooming house in town. He cames back to shovel her walk after storms and take out her garbage. Her daughter visited her occassionally but could not or did not bring her husband and child into the house. She came from and well known family. The only visitor overnight was her sister who cames one in 20 years. She was a nun. She knew everyone business, people were pleasant to her be kept their distance...it was the way she wanted it. I don't think she ever called the cops on anyone...everyone knew what she was I guess.
I could advise you to bake her some cookies over a holiday or something like that. I know I would because to me she is just a pitiful case and I wouldn't care who she called or what she thought of me. I know who I am.
It's sad but there are just all types that make the world what it is,
the good, bad and ugly. Best of Luck...

I've had this myself from a neighbour of a similar age and the worst thing you can do is to pander to her and allow her to stop you from living as you want to.As long as your not doing anything unreasonable then keep doing it.It's none of her business how many visitors you have.
Also you should write to her informing her that unless she ceases to interfere in your personal life you will reprt her for harrassment. Make the letter as official looking as possible.She'll probably back off,people like that only hassle you if they think they can get away with it.
Good luck.

There are three ways you can get her off your back. The first involves violating a few laws and serving a life sentence somewhere nice and cold. The second is to move out, which i'm sure is not an option since we human beings are so opposed to change, and moreover why should you do the shifting when she's the one with the problem. Which leaves us with the third option - ignore her. unless she's the landlady, or even worse . . . . your mom.

If she thinks you're a bad neighbor, give her something to complain about. Get a big tub of salt (with a pourer) and use it to write a nice big word on her lawn - something like "Nosey C**t".
If you're clever, you'll do it in the middle of the night while it's raining (lighter rain is better than a real downpour). The salt will dissolve into the soil but not spread too far (hence lighter rain is better).
In a couple of days, your 'secret message' will be revealed in it's dead-grass glory, and you can snigger while peeking out from your blinds!

Fight fire with fire, I had the same problem till i stitched her up at every opertunity, Played my music to loud, took parties on to ther street, eventually she will give in then. I tried talking to her and she told me i was letting the neighboorhood down(I have a 5 bed house with double garage at it very presentable) She lives in a flat over the road!
she left dog pooh on my door step because apparently it was my dogs, I always sort that s*"t out. So i did the same back, Now she leaves me alone and even tries being friendly. The worse they get the worse you get(it becomes fun after a while, like a little war).Obviously i have stopped now!

Start spying on her, stand outside her house looking in. Go into your garden and look over the wall at hers, or her house.
Write her notes complaining about any litter in her garden, or suggest her garden/house is untidy and is letting the street down. Park your car in front of her house.
Generally give her some of her own medicine.
Or you could be adult about it and knock on her door and discuss it calmly. Explain how you feel and that you think she was out of order. Ask her if there is something you have done to upset her that has made her act that way.
If that doen't work and it continues, contact the council and explain it. They may be able to suggest something.

It's difficult to cope with nosey neighbours. You can't live with them, and if something happens and you need a witness to a crime that happens to you, you can't do without them.
However, in this case I think it'd be easier to do without this one.
I think that she should be made to feel that she was in the wrong about reporting you. Being concerned for your safety is one thing, but snitching on someone who's done you no harm? That's just mean.
Just remember that what goes around, comes around - and if she gets mugged, or some third party damages her garden or whatever, just shrug and plead ignorance. "Sorry, luv. Don't know anything. Can't help you."
You know the drill.

Fight fire with fire! Tell her the noise of her zimmer frame keeps you awake at night and report her for having oversized underwear on the washing line, which puts your friends off from visiting - therefore it is affecting your social life and subsequently your mental health! Failing that, a dose of Warfarin in a nicely baked apple pie as a peace offering.
