Annoying neighbor issues...?

Question

Last year we recently bought a house in a quiet, cozy & safe neighborhood. It was the perfect little place. Our only issue is with one of our neighbors. For some reason she hates us and we haven't done anything to her. She moved in just after us & when she did I went over & introduced ourselves and she was cold to me then.
As time went on her behavior worsened. We have a 3 year old & one day when we were outside she ran through her house slamming the windows complaining of the little loud mouth brat neighbor kid to whoever she was on the phone with. Since she has thrown garbage over the fence (not ours), called the police because our boy hurt himself & was crying outside (public nuisance call), and always sneers if she sees us.
Hubby wants to tell her off, I want to confront her and ask her WTF? Is she just cranky or in dire need to get laid? Anyone else with this issue...what did you do?

Also, we love beeing outside & have a 8 foot fence so we spend alot of time outdoors. Not having parties just playing with the boy and being a family. So noise shouldn't be an issue & if it is there is another neighbor with 3 little yappy dogs who are WAY noisier than we could ever be.

Answer 1

Probably one of those people who don't like kids -right away she did not like you when you introduced yourself, was the child with you at that time? I would just try to keep out of her "space". Confronting her would probably make the situation worse.

Answer 2

She sounds like a total nut case. Confronting a psycho can only make matters worse. Does she own the house or rent it? If she rents it there are many things you can do to get her out of there..starting with constant calls to the landlord. If the landlord doesn't listen to you, start calling your local goverment rental agency and make sure the house has had a rental inspection. Keep calling.
If she owns the house, well that is not as easy. But you could fight fire with fire and start calling the police/health dept/zoning office everytime she has the least little infraction. She will be so busy putting out all those little fires she will not be able to focus on you.

I consulted with my ecology friendly educational home automation outdoor living space builder administration and had a ultrasonic noise pollution control device installed and kept records of would-be intrusions on the sanctity of my outdoor living space with audio and video recording software, hardware such as Microsoft OneNote 2007 demo and the perimeter defense robot and after five years of recording was able to present to the local courts a civil request for repayment for the original cost of the systems installation and maintenance thereafter. I was awarded full reimbursement for the cost of the systems by the court, which was paid for by the noisy neighbors. You can find more detail about the situation on my personal page, which is linked on my profile. Pay particular attention to the link near the top is titled life energy word abacus.

Answer 4

i am so sorry to hear about your situation. some people are just so nasty. i had nasty neighbors once. in college the girl that lived downstairs from me, made so much noise at late into the night. after class one day it was like 2pm, i played my music, she called to say if i could turn the music down because she was sleeping. i should of said no, but i did it to be a good neighbor. maybe u and your husband should stand your ground, if u r doing nothing wrong, u need to tell her to mind her own business.

make documentations of all she has been doing.

Answer 5

She has some nerve. I don't know why she has a beef with you. Maybe you should contact the police for her disturbing your peace. Before I moved two years ago, I had annoying downstairs neighbors. They had people over late at night, who turned on the lights, and had a party, before the lights were off. They also had snoring and loud sex. I couldn't sleep, since they were underneath me in my two-family home. I told them to knock it off. I avoided her at all costs. Ever her son was a pain. So ignore her.

Answer 6

If you choose to speak to you you must choose your words very carefully. She seems to be thy type that would call the cops on you or sue you over your wording. Be Carefull!!

Just do your best to be a good neighbor and ignore her. If she constantly goes out of her way to be mean, thats different. Then you call the cops on her for herassment!

Answer 7

U could take her to court of put a restraing order on the witch saying with all the police calls you feel harrasssed.

Answer 8

You have a right to enjoy your home just as much as she had to enjoy her home.

If you feel you are being harassed, then see an attorney about taking legal action against her. If you retaliate on your own, you could end up defending yourself in court.

Answer 9

once you've a "community association" take it up with them first. you're entitled to apply the line and his "cones" are literally not "criminal". the line isn't a loose and criminal zone for his little ones to play in, it really is for automobiles to shuttle in. in case you do not get an action out of the "community association" then next time you spot the cones up basically call the police and enable them manage the placement. clarify to them that he has a "risky" mood and also you don't want to manage the placement your self. also clarify that you are able to't get out and in of your automobile because of your legs. do no longer less than any circumstances attempt to manage this your self. good success. Peace, Love & Happiness
