How To Get Rid Of An Annoying Neighbor With A Crayon

I know man. honestly being an annoying douchebag isn't illegal but it should be. some people just need an a** whoopin but unfortunately it's not the wild west and you can't just do that. too bad because I'm certain that would 'fix' a lot of annoying idiots like this

There are people in this world that love conflict. Even when you mind your business, they find a way to disrupt your peace. You handled this better than I would have. I would still get a few cameras just incase.

[@pmint0]

this is so true. i mind my own business. . . and people still annoy me... just because I don't want to interact with them.

[@ilovemybeard3394]

Not only that, but the worst part is when you do mind your own business...they will spread lies about you that are not true and next thing you know the other neighbors act differently around you I know it sucks, but i can totally relate to what you're saying and this is what I am dealing with right now A pair of awesome headphones work really well to cancel out their disruptive force

[@karenminckler4198]

My mother in law was so mean my husband stopped taking us. She excused me of stealing money and food from the surplus I would get. She was going to move and wanted me to pay her money for a sewing machine she gave me. My husband said to go throw it on her porch. I couldn’t I went and gave it back to her. It was the last time we saw her until her funeral.

[@tutsecret499]

I have a situation where a neighbor, an old lady that whenever she walks in front of my place, she leans on my micro garden and pinch my basils, always stealing my basils, one day I told her: "NO!" She got very mad. And she has her own micro garden too, why on earth she stares at my stuff and take it. Get your own. I can't stand people like that. Rude, disrespectful, entitled. She has nice clothes, have a good life, she has free rent where lives with the daughter and son in law, and coming to my micro garden and stealing from a hard worker that pays for everything. Give me a break. And she keeps staring at my garden, being noisy, and one day she stopped in front of my garden and in front of my kitchen window and staring, like she is checking if I am home and not seeing her, and then I stood up and started cleaning my throat to tell her, hinting her: "I saw you, get out, get lost, entitled" and she left. I feel like to put a camera that talks to her: "It's rude staring, you don't have business here, bug off!"

[@845callaway]

Demo Unit Hello Demo, although I see you point, I must respectfully disagree with you. I believe that politicians beco.e what we WANT them to become. Case in point, nearly every politician that has spoken truthfully, has lost; reason being is that almost everyone wants all these promises, but does not want to pay for them. Politicians can be the most truthful people in our society, if we demand that of them...if we elected the honest ones, that would start a trend. All they are is a reflection of our society. Everyone wants tax cuts and more benefits...Any politician who goes against these tenets will never get elected.

[@845callaway]

Demo Unit Hello there, D Unit!! Wow, many excellent points you have raised here, paragraph #1 spoke to the influence of media...I agree with you, they should be objective in their discourse, but it's almost like the don't even try anymore to hide their biases. Once I saw their actions through the election, and continuing to this day, against President Trump...he painted such a clear picture of them, coupled with Twitter (which you mention as well), I agree with you, politics will never be the same. After President Trump's historic meeting with Kim Jung Un, I was appalled with the line of questions from George Stephanopoulos. So far, I have to give Trump very high marks. Although I am dead against his ideas on immigration and a few other issues...what you said about the best ideas coming to the surface, giving the little guy at least a small chance. Heck, Dennis Rodman did more for peace with North Korea than the Bushs and the Clintons.

I am sincerely sorry that you had to put up with this mess. I'm from the Carolinas but have called Texas my home for the past 25 years.

And I had a neighbor like that. Wish I had your patience. When the bully neighbor thought it would be cool to intimidate my youngest son (15y at the time) and even went so far as to lay hands on him, I grabbed my dog (Belg Mal) and went looking for him. My dog is trained and quiet. We found him setting up a tree stand on my property. Yep, got into an argument with him. Yep, he raised his voice to me and yep, he took his finger and poked me in the chest to make a point. My dog didn't like that. My neighbor learnt fear that afternoon. My dog never bit him. He wouldn't do that unless I told him to. But my neighbor didn't know that. It's been maybe 5 years since we've seen him too. Oh, I've seen him around town but he stays clear. Bullies are the same everywhere.

In 4th Grade my son had a teacher who was very mean to him. He would come home and complain - and I would simply tell him - YES - that sounds very unfair - but son - you will have to deal with people like this in your grown up life - so keep telling me about the things this teacher is doing - because son it sounds like these things are not educational or fare to little kids. Then one day my son and I were at the batting cages and another Mom walked up and expressed impressive performance of my son - we struck up a conversation and she got around to asking me were my son was in school - I told her - she asked if we had Ms. Waters - I told her yes - she asked how we liked her - I told her well I don't want to get in a law suit with her. The Mom then went into a laundry list of how her son was treated by her. I thanked her and told her - she gave me a good idea. The teacher always gave them ten spelling words on Friday and Monday they were to turn in 10 sentences using the spelling words. So that weekend - our sentences reflected all the mean things this teacher had done to my son that he had reported to me. The mean crap stopped - and we no longer had the sentence part of the spelling words on weekends. Funny how the truth prevails over evil bullies.

But yeah.. my father served in WWII, and when he returned he thought he was going to be a pig farmer, but he couldn't even take their life.. they became pets.. so were the chickens.. and the guineas.. :) Birds would flock and sit next to him, and built nests inside his smokehouse.. he could run his tools, but they were never afraid of him.. He'd talk to the mama birds..

[@jerrypeppler1484]

ursaltydog I teared up. Sounds like your father raised his children well. It’s odd how veterans returning from their various outconus hells say quietly but with steely conviction words (in essence) like Chief Joseph of the Nez Perce said, “I will fight no more forever”.

[@ursaltydog]

I could recount so many of his stories to you... He and his outfit as he called it, traipsed across Europe by the skin of their teeth since their landing.. The one thing I always had to assure him of before he passed was that God would forgive him for everything he did in the war.. Just a good ole country boy.. a boy who went there and came back a man.. Him and all his brothers including twin returned.. one not so good emotionally.. From finding love in England to having to leave her there..to witnessing men hanging from trees from a failed jump.. massacred U.S. soldiers by Nazi troops.. to taking a crane through the middle of France just to see the Eiffel Tower and nearly being court-martialed.. to grieving over two fellow soldiers who committed suicide before they made it back home (they were found out to be gay) so as to spare their families humiliation survivor benefits would be distributed and avoid chemical experiments in prison.. so many stories.. I loved that man with all my being.. the gentlest creature on the face of the earth.. he never cussed anyone.. Only three times I ever witness him cry.. suicide of his eldest brother.. the death of my mother.. and talking about the two men who should've been able to come home, no matter who they loved.

I kept telling him you don't know how bad this could have went, come on you got to go home now. I still can't recall if I heard a noise or if it was the breathing behind the door. Straight up horror movie. He stood there with a frozen face like stone. No emotion no nothing.

[@BaronHalcyon]

Great story dude. I've been having neighbour issues, lately, and found your non-confrontational approach to be refreshing and uplifting. I have a long history with conflict resolution through the work I was doing for more than a decade. I was also in the army and struggle with PTSD. I'm working on a way to get out of urban areas and back to farming, as well, and for the same reasons. It bolsters my confidence to hear from a kindred spirit, so you have gained a subscriber, today!

[@kbroers6480]

BaronHalcyon dang me too!

[@shirleybriggs1879]

I wish you all the best with finding peace. Perhaps you could pursue the avenue of getting help with the PTSD before making your move, because the issues could still come up living in the country and there would probably be fewer local resources to get help.

[@BaronHalcyon]

Shirley Briggs at what point did I say that I needed help with PTSD symptoms? I am a health professional, actually, and have a pretty good handle on MY health. The issues I mentioned, as is being discussed in this video, are with a NEIGHBOUR who is behaving badly. Moving to a more rural setting would minimize exposure to people who may not be dealing, effectively, with their own mental health challenges. Cities are rife with these kinds of issues. Therefore, a better place for someone like me, who has seen enough conflict, is outside of major urban areas. Thanks for caring about my life, though, Shirley. You sound just like an old friend of mine!

[@adamlandryfarmlifedaily6589]

Love your channel, I just found it, but you are like a mirror reflection of me, lol and I can relate with you so much. I didn't save the world or do any crazy medal of honor stuff but, I served, and then worked as a military contractor for several years after, then as a paramedic on the task force. Now I'm retired and bought the family farm, which was previously owned by "the family" that ownes most of the land around here and then just recently bought the 80 acres behind me. They did me the same thing. "We owned everything you see all the way up and down the highway Yada yada and they were going to run their dogs on the land behind my house. As you did, I politely allowed them to hunt out that year and even offered to share it the next. They cut my stands down and destroyed my food plots and had the nerve to leave a note in one of the stands "this has been my families land for over 100 years, and we did not agree to you messing up our hunting land by adding plots that are going to take our deer away. Do not continue to do anything on this part of the land without talking to my dad or uncle" luckily for me, the dad knew what the end resukt would be if his son kept this up and brought him to my doorstep BY THE EAR, to apologize and ask what needed to be done to repair what him and his friends destroyed. Long story short, I've gotten along with the guys for 10 years now (except the son). So I recently bought more land attached to my plot and the son called the exact on me and requested a survey for drainage purposes, then lied to them about owning part of my land and the epa designated 76 of my 80 acres as "natural flood drainage" and now I can't touch it. I reported him and even showed proof that he didn't own any of the la d therefore, the plot he "was building a house on" does not exist. They don't seem to care, and now I have 76 acres of land that's completely useless and the value is gone. Any suggestions how I can get this remedied? Thanks for your service, I don't know what you went through or the nightmares you have from it, but I know what I did and what I deal with so I can relate to you if you ever need me. I know what writing your will at 17 is... thanks again and hope everything's going great!

[@TylerMatthewHarris]

I did something like this when I worked loss prevention. An unknown employee stole a new girls iPhone8+ and hid it somewhere in the store to avoid a bag check and pick it up later. I knew it was in the store still so after I spent an hour looking for it I found it behind some boxes in a stock room. I replaced the expensive phone with a note that said "Turn around and SMILE, you're fired. ;) ". On the wall behind her I had put up a camera (fake). When the thief left in the middle of her shift the next day we knew who did it.

After they were sued and charged several thousands of dollars to re-survey the markers they both ended up broke and had to move out of their own property.

Yup, & people think your just being a smart ass but it is true there are 3 sides, I'll spill the beans. There is his side, there is your side and... there is the truth. 3 sides. If the law is ever called in guess what side will matter to them? This is why cameras matter and why I have them pointing every witch way all over my property. I'm lucky to have pretty good neighbors so my cams are just generally to keep an eye out for roving dogs, wild life and general security.

[@paperaxes4192]

@@dscottfr A brilliant way to deal with a bully? Tell them the rules, pretend you can't enforce the rules, then when they break them, enforce them. For example, he might've put up no trespassing signs and then left the property, so the bully might think you won't see trespassing, but they don't know you have cameras. To catch thieves, I've put out an obviously broken camera where it's seen and then three good cameras where they're hidden, and people look at the broken camera and send themselves to jail.

I love it. We had a neighbor who let their dog out to go potty on my front yard. I kept telling them and they just ignore me. So finally I picked up the poop with a plastic bag, hung it on a hanger with a nice polite note with my marker and paper. That was 10 years ago when we first move in our home. They never let their dog out and they moved out after a couple of years ago. We also have a neighbor who moved in our neighborhood. They would play basketball and make a huge mess and they would hit our cars, we live in a court street. So we talked to them nicely and nothing. Oh they love kittens and 4 kittens would come around our front porch and my kids love to pet them. They even accused us stealing their cats. So I told them we don’t want to steal them because they are not declaw and no vaccines. They would always be mad because of that. So last Christmas I told my kids to make cards and make presents for them and ever since they have been nice to us.

First of all.. THANKS FOR SERVING OUR COUNTRY! I have a quick story.... My neighbor is 80 plus years old and comes over all the time and will harass us about anything. Well I was mowing one day and he came flying by in his car. I motioned to him to slow down. The next morning I went out to our mail box and he pulled up and chewed me out because I motioned to him to slow down. He told me that he served in our country and I do not respect that. I stopped him there and said I never said that... all I did was motion to you to slow down. I thanked him for serving in our country. Then he said he had 18 grandkids and do not tell me what to do BOY...! I asked him to politely leave and that made things worse. Not really sure what is wrong with him, but he is honestly crazy. Then about two weeks after that I pulled up on him at a stop light and he started to freak out and yell. Then he started to swerve his car back and forth and was motioning me to pull over. To be quite honest he scared me... So what I did was call the cops and tell them about what happened and if they could start to swing by the neighborhood to see if in fact if he does speed threw our residential street. Well... he got pulled over in front of our house at our mail box. I went to get mail saw him and he looked at me. I took my hand and motioned slow down as he was getting a ticket and he has never stopped by the house again. In fact he moved.

My husband hung up and that ended all those terrible frighting calls. One bad situation resolved, but it was so bad my brother was gioing to come from another state to help protect us..but he did not have to after that last call.

Good story. My friend was telling me he setup surveillance cameras for his buddy (Pat) who noticed diesel going missing from the tank he kept in his yard. The recordings showed it was Pat's neighbor and best friend who would leave a jerry-can behind the tank on his way over to visit each evening. He'd spend an hour or so visiting and having coffee and, on his way back to his own place, he'd fill the jerry-can from the Pat's tank. So Pat put the tape into the video player in the kitchen and set it ready to play, and when the neighbor came over the next evening, he simply said "I will be back in a minute. I have something to do in the yard", pressed Play and walked out. The guy was left sitting in his Pat's kitchen, watching a video of himself stealing the diesel. They never talked about it, and stayed friends but the diesel theft obviously stopped. I thought it was an interesting way of handling it

[@Troy-Echo]

I think my favorite similar story was the 20 acres my parents owned when I was growing up. The neighboring property was used every year for crops and the guy planted over my parents right-of-way to their property as well and never asked. No big deal, we had adequate access from the other piece of property so we let it go. The guy also planted on the county right-of-way too, which nobody cared because it benefited this guy, and didn't hurt anybody, so again, no harm, no foul. Then an 18 wheeler had to make a delivery and had stopped because he could not make the turn with the long trailer. My dad drove 18 wheelers for 20+ years and he and a neighbor assured the guy that he was OK to make the turn, even though it would smash some of the crop that was on the county right-of-way - which legally he should not have been using. Later that day the guy saw the damaged crop and went ballistic. My dad tried to calm the guy down and be polite, but the man started cursing up a storm in front of my dads wife & kids (my brother and me). My dad asked him not to use language like that in front of his wife and kids and the guy kept on going. My dad told the guy if he didn't calm down and stop using foul language around his wife and kids, that he and the neighbors may stop allowing him to use land that didn't belong to him for growing crops and that he would cut down the crops in his driveway right-of-way. The jerk kept on, so my dad just got in the truck and left. He contacted a surveyor and had the driveway plotted out, and the county easement, then got the tractor and bushog and mowed down everything that wasn't on the guys property, put in a driveway and eventually a fence on both sides so the guy couldn't drive over our driveway. The jerk called the police and they came out, looked over the situation, spoke to my dad and got the earful of what happened. When it was all said and done the police told the guy not to plant on the county property, to stop harassing his neighbors regarding the 18 wheeler running over the count right-of-way, and told the guy to watch his mouth around our family or he would charge him. My dad always used his farm tractor to level out the road and smooth out potholes in the dirt road, even past our driveway...he simply added mowing the county easement several times a year as the guy (tried) to continue planting on the county right-of-way. The jerk finally sold the property a few years later and we ended up with some proper neighbors.
