We live beside 2 very butch older (50 -ish) lesbians. They are always coming knocking at the door complaining. Our dog that sleeps in the garage barked one night ...complaint. Our 2 car driveway only technically fits 1 1/2 cars so either mine or my husbands hangs off the side..they don't like the way it looks. We are putting up a privacy fence and every opportunity they get they come to complain about the workers, the noise, remeasuring property lines, you name it. We own our house and I am fed up with playing the nice girl. Now I am ready to piss them off every channce I get. Any suggestions? It can't be something to get me arrested or piss off my neighbors across the street. Just the ones next door.

Ok ok i have had great suggestions thanks everyone. The butch part may be more important than Lesbian part, mainly because the butchness is what they use when they try to intimidate me. Like I said I keep taking it and taking but am at my breaking point. I appreciate the suggestions.

Legally you can't, that would be considered harassment and you could be sued for it.

Flirt with one of them. Only one. Act like you are mad at one of them, and like your into the other one. They will probably start arguing amongst themselves. It's human nature, (EVERYONES) even gay peoples nature to get jealous when they feel like their being threatened with the possibility of their other half having an affair.
If that makes you too uncomfortable, place SEVERAL (alot) wind chimes, where they will be heard by them, and not so much, by the neighbors across the street. Also, watch every move they make, and go knock on their door armed with complaints of your own. Nothing makes people madder then showing them what an a** they are being, then by example. And always be on your toes. Think faster then them. Be more innovative then them. You could even write a love letter to one of them. Thats not against the law, and change the writing, so they can't trace it to you, and they will be at each others throat immediately. Good Luck!

The best way to piss them off is to kill them with kindness and stay within the law. If your car in hanging over just make sure it's hanging on your property (if they don't like the way it looks there isn't anything they can do about it). If they want to go to the expense of remeasuring property lines let them (you've obviously already done this is if your getting a privacy fence, let them stew.) If you just tell them, "complaint noted" when they come by (have a book with date and time for each time they come - lawsuit insurance - it's definitely harassment) what can they do. Stay inside the law and make it seem like they aren't bugging you in the least.
The best revenge is to live well.

There are so many things you could do!. Be weird and strange! Leave in the middle of the night-Sometimes just leave for a minute or an hour.Bring bags of stuff with you If there out front -run out of the house and back in. Run out and say something strange . (What time does the Frog Jump) Put a single shoe in your front yard and Then move it daily. Put a large American Flag in your front yard and in the evening-Play Taps(trumpet recorded) and stand outside and solute the flag. Play really strange and bazar music-Not too loud -just loud enough for them to hear-Play a kids song then a satanic song-mix it up. Leave all your lights on one night then nothing the next-keep alternating. Make really loud bang in the middle of the night -only one!!! You can do many things and get away with it if you just do it once. Say to your roommate when standing outside-You know people disappear without a trace all the time! So much more. Put up large political signs in FRONT OF YOUR HOUSE-they ARE LEAGAL IN MOST CITIES

Some people are just plain miserable, my guess is, they bother the folks on the other side of them as well. Congratulations on your privacy fence,
(my obnoixious neighbor calls my privacy fence a "hate fence") she has been after me for years, to remove the fence, and the row of arborvitae, that boreders our properties, so she can "see into my pretty yard"... that fence stays.. I replaced the original, when it began to rot.. and she went ballistic.. and nailed and hung all kinds of crap on the fence, ruining the fence, she shut up.. when I presented her with a $3,000. bill to replace the fence.. hasn't spoken to me since (it's been a year)..
If they don't like how your cars look in your drive, tell them "look the other way".... There's not too much you can do, other than putting out yard ornaments and decorations, that they will dislike.. my neighbor hates the "little peeing boy statue" on my fountain, always makes remarks about it.. lmao...
the best thing you can do is, tell them.... ."if you don't like what is happening in my yard, too bad, it's none of your concern.... if you don't like it, complain to the authorities, complain to your psychiatrist, priest or whatever.. put it in writing... and we'll take it under consideration, but PLEASE do no tresspass on our property, and do not call our phone." ... likely they'll bother someone else.

Two wrongs don't make a right. It seems to me that perhaps what your neighbors want is attention, and they are trying to get it in a negative way because they aren't getting any positive attention. Give positive attention to them.

Develop a little tic, smell a bit, go over there and say in a blank way that they appear to have driven you clinically insane(according to your friend of course, as you have sunk too far into dementia to know). Don't overdo it, just enough to give a little doubt as to whether you are joking or not...could creep them out...

Well, it sounds to me like you're already doing a good job of making them crazy. Neighbors are often like relatives: you don't choose them but you have to live with them. My motto is "keep the peace, but don't give in." Some people thrive on controversy and conflict. You can't change them. All you can do is listen, consider their point of view, agree or disagree. "Well, I can see we disagree on that," "Sorry it bothers you, but that's my choice," etc. Arguing is often the point and decline to do that. A quick "Good morning!" or "Hi!" and then move on might be the best relationship you can have with them, but don't let them put you in a defensive position. Deescalate. Otherwise, you're giving up your peace of mind and they "win."

turn it around. no kidding, bake a pie and bring it over their house. invite them over for tea in the afternoon. pay attention to them, notice things they do. act like the best neighbor in the world.
It will change your situation. They are very territorial, and you will have a war on your hands if you try to do things to aggrevate them. hey better yet, invite them to church on sunday.
I promise you. dont start a war you'll be sorry.
