petty neighbour drama that's on another level - REACTION

I had the softest husky in the world! But you even raise your voice a level at me or show any negativity towards me and she'd sit right next to me wishing a mfer would. The best part about my husky is she was broken and not vocal AT ALL well unless I left her home alone of course then my neighbors hated her lmao said it sounds like I was keeping a wolf in there 😂 but she would never make a sound if she'd attack, you'd see absolutely no aggression to think she'd attack you until it was too late. Love my Shiba! My oldest is 17 and when she is finally on her own my New home present is going to be a scary looking dog who loves her!

As a Property Manager of a 33 Unit Complex, I have absolutely evicted someone for stalking another tenant. If something becomes wrong with a window lock, I will personally go and buy thick, cut dowel rods to put in the windows, until they can be replaced. Hearing stories where they allow women to be left to their own devices with this shit, then punish them when they decide they have to leave. Awful management.

When I moved into my first apartment by myself, I was on the first floor in a not so great neighborhood and the first neighbor I ever met ended up being a super nice single dad that would invite me over to birthday parties. But he was adamant that if I ever felt unsafe I could just bang on the wall and he would rush over. He also let me watch his sweetheart pitbull whenever he wasn't home so I wasn't ever completely alone and had a safeguard in place in case something happened. He restored my faith in humanity and I'm grateful every day for him because the one time I left my door unlocked and somebody just walked in without knocking I was watching her and she jumped up into guard mode and scared the random man that was walking through the door trying to be as quiet as possible.

As for the poor girl being stalked: I definitely understand not wanting to have the police talk to that weirdo. Neighbor retaliation is VERY real and terrifying. I had a neighbor who would watch me do my laundry and then sneak down and STEAL MY UNDERWEAR while it was in the dryer. I was clueless why all my underwear was suddenly vanishing into thin air. I mean, I know socks and shit go missing in the dryer all the time, but 10+ pair of underwear all at once??? I knew something was up so I asked other neighbors at the time to keep an eye out. Lo and behold, one of the neighbors said “oh I took those for you! I knew they wouldn’t get clean down there and decided I needed to clean your intimates myself. I just forgot to deliver them to you.” She had an entire goddamn wall of my underwear pinned up like a trophy display. Reported her to the office, manager talked to her. Silence for one week. Then suddenly my underwear would be found on the laundry room floor, burned to mostly ashes. Cops got involved, she said I obviously forgot to clean the lint traps and she told me they wouldn’t get clean down there, so cops had to shrug it off despite the fire hazard. Manager gave ME a citation for not cleaning the lint traps. Crazy lady is still a neighbor. On the rare occasion I see her outside she still chases me down and asks me when I’m going to cook her dinner (not a CLUE what she’s talking about). We have gone through two more managers since then, but I just wash my underwear in the bath tub now and hang them to dry on the shower bar. Psycho neighbor retaliation is scarier than many think. I got LUCKY that’s all psycho lady did.

The police talking to him won’t necessarily scare him off, it might make him, not necessarily bold, but threatened. Stalking, like sexual assault and harassment, is a power thing. She’s threatening that power and has to go. It’s pretty much why the first 6~ months of an abuse survivor leaving their abuser are the most dangerous

[@transsnack]

Yeah, my stalker had to be physically removed from the state to stop him stalking me. His grandpa (who he lived with) forced him to move to Colorado to stop him. It was terrifying, but the police said it was "all a coincidence" that he kept showing up where I was, even at work (which was really creepy because I was a dog walker, showing up around the houses I walked for wasn't a coincidence).

What everyone is NOT realizing in the parking situation is, the note was put on her car the next day when she was parked in a free spot, it didn't say what spot or whose spot and the person who wrote the note had her number and could have easily texted her the information when the issue was happening, "hay, I see your in my spot.

19:10 There is nothing better than great neighbors. One winter, my neighbor shoveled my driveway while I was sleeping. My stepmom had to leave early to go out of town, but it had snowed that night. The snow was almost to my hip and I had spent the early morning shoveling it enough to get a car out of the garage for her to be able to leave. After that, I went back to bed since it was still dark out. When I woke, I found my driveway cleared of all snow because of my neighbor. He also cleared the driveway a few other times after when the snow was too much. He and his wife were super nice and would always say hi. I will always miss him (he passed away). Another neighbor is the mayor of our town. He is super nice and helped me recently with a busted sprinkler. I know nothing about sprinklers and he helped me fix it. It is a blessing to have great neighbors who would take time out of their day to help.

[@AshendrisSilvermist]

Neighbor attempting to break in: But reporting it often causes people like this to lash out violently. She says her windows are ground floor and don't lock. She's already afraid of his nice-guy persona, imagine how unhinged he is when angry. Yes, a paper trail is important but it doesn't save your life in the moment when you're being violently assaulted by someone who's now angry and sees you as the problem. Reporting is important; I don't mean to sound like it isn't, but it can be very dangerous. From my personal experience here in the states it doesn't save you from harm it just adds to the perpetrators sentencing AFTER you're actually assaulted, assuming you survive to tell your story. I can definitely see why some choose to keep it to themselves and stay quiet until they can get themselves out of there. A "Don't poke the bear" mentality. I often wish that was the route I'd taken instead of reporting him and the cops saying they can't do anything other than tell him to stay away from me without proof of him breaking in and/or assaulting me. They got their proof. It left me disabled.

[@someoneoutthere0h00]

I'm so sorry. Here in France it's the same. Police can't do anything until AFTER an assault, and only if the victim can bring evidence of the attack and evidences of mental and physical repercussions.

[@graciep.6984]

It’s astonishing how many people don’t know about this. It’s also referred to as “freeze or please”, as people often don’t know what “fawn” means (this surprises me too). And as with so many things related to women protecting themselves, people often don’t believe me when I tell them. I suggest to them that they google it and have to hope that they do. I really don’t want to do it for them and hand them my phone, or even continue a conversation where I have to try to convince someone that people do legitimately freeze up, when they’re clearly not interested in listening. There needs to be much more awareness about this. Trying to please the person is interpreted as “she didn’t say anything, she can’t have been that scared”. Or even worse, r**e that elicits the “freeze or please” responses will be outright dismissed with “she didn’t say no, she must have wanted it”, no matter what the circumstances are.

Also an old building with wood floors. All because I kept turning down his advances. Management spoke to him several times and he would be quiet for a few days and then start it all up again. Of course they didn't do anything about it. When she said this guy offered to give her a massage, it made my stomach drop. My old neighbor said the same thing to me. Big fat greasy middle aged man driving a big truck to make up for his shortcomings. He's the kind of guy who will start $#&@ with you on the highway if you pass him.

I don't blame her for not calling the police. The leader of the local gang in my neighborhood back in Chicago thought I was narcing on him (I was making a documentary for my film class) so he sent someone to break into my apartment and steal my computers. My downstairs neighbors saw the guy break in and identified him by name to the police (they called 911 before I got home), and the police refused to do anything. My other neighbor saw the leader selling my computers in a parking lot down the street (one had a very distinctive sticker) and when he called the police, they refused to do anything. He later refused to turn down his music he was drunkenly blasting in the leader's parents' building, so the leader pistol whipped him, breaking his nose. He called the police, and they arrested MY NEIGHBOR for threatening to kick the guy's ass. I went to court with him to back him up and luckily they let him off. But this stuff is ridiculous.

I used to live in a small apartment above this guys' garage. It was just me, my neighbor, and an older woman who lived downstairs. The neighbor was a few years older than me. Early on, he came over when I had some friends over and gave us some beers. None of us drink beer, so we just threw them away when he left. After some time, he became OBSESSED with me. He would ask me to come over, he had a gf, and he would corner me in our "shared" space where the washer and dryer was. One time, i caught him trying to pick my locks! I told my landlord who lived on site and he tore into this man. He was seriously my savior. Like, this neighbor tried pinning me down to kiss me and I kicked him in the nuts and ran for it. And he tried to pick my lock! My landlord put cameras up in the shared space (I allowed him to for my safety) and kept an eye on him for me, and was going to kick him out if it continued.

Then screamed some more when she saw him trying to pick the lock. By keeping quiet, being a good girl, not making a fuss, she was actually protecting him and making sure nobody believed her. She wants to have as foul a gob as I have, a voice as loud as a fishwife, and enough aggression in it as her Dobermann.

She nearly succeeded because one got colic and I got a £600 vet bill. She tried to push a heavy metal fence onto the little Shetland sized pony who is blind in one eye. She'd never have seen it coming down on her. There's much much more, most caught on CCTV. I ended up calling police and showing them everything.

The problem there was she didn't GO to the police, she passively waited there. So the police options were limited to making it criminal which involved an interview before an arrest. There would have been other courses of action available if she had gone TO the Police station, such as pursuing a stay away order that he is not to go within four feet of her or her door and not to talk to her. Or just to start a stalking paper trail. Or see if he had a criminal record of stalking (if they'll say....).

My sister has one of the scariest neighbor stories I have ever heard. Her neighbors were a family of four, and sis was friends with wife and kids. Husband was a true monster. He would film my sister's family and other neighbors inside their homes through the windows. Then, he brought horses to his property (not more than an acre total), and began using the community well to keep them hydrated. This well provided water to four homes, in a desert environment. County sheriff deputies had been out several times to tell him he had to bring separate water for his horses, as they were livestock, and he could not use water from the community well for it. The neighbor who called the sheriff raised German Shepherds, and NFH poisoned three of the dogs. The situation got so bad, he sued all three neighbors ( including my sister). On the day he lost the suit, he came home and murdered his sweet family. Lots of law enforcement drama followed. He had put the bodies in 50 gallon drums, taken to a place in the middle of the desert, and buried them. He was convicted without bodies because of all the forensic evidence inside his home. He died in prison before a construction crew preparing land for a new subdivision found the drums. 😢

[@rebeccaw2300]

Her reaction was disproportionate and kinda unhinged. Her neighbour has met her before and I reckon she was trying in vain to avoid any back and forth with her, knowing she would be like that. I would too.

[@kandicomarawski1171]

Yeah, that’s what I mean like after the fact when I realize that she was talking about a completely different day, I probably would’ve apologize but also pointed out like hey how am I supposed to know which spot if you’re leaving me a note a day after I park there, especially if she’s being honest about the fact that she literally was only parked there for two minutes before she left. I honestly don’t think I would even remember if I had parked somewhere for two minutes and then move my car So I was left a whole day after I probably would be like what is she talking about and exactly make the argument this is a free space like why are you leaving me this note here. On the other hand, this person who knows her could’ve just asked her not to park there again or just mention hey I was trying to come home the other day I had groceries my kids in the car whatever and I couldn’t get in my spot because you were parked there. Leaving a note is really a passive aggressive way of dealing with the issue and it really seems sort of petty and excessive. If she was being honest about the fact she was only there for two minutes. Somebody like came home and somebody was in my spot for a moment and I got annoyed, but then a minute later I was able to get into my spot or use another spot close to my house, but it was pouring rain at the time so there was nothing I could do about it, I’d forget about that encounter by the next day there would never be a note on anybody’s car. I don’t know maybe if I got like completely soaked as a result of somebody parking in my spot I might be upset enough to remember that the next day and say something but again if you’re on good terms with this person, why ruin that by leaving a passive aggressive note when you can simply send a text message or actually just knock on the person and say hey I know you’re only here for a minute yesterday, but I tried to come home and I had to park over this way, and by the time I got in, I was sopping wet. Could you please not park there again?

Great neighbor story from my childhood. Our water pipe burst, so my dad turned the water off and was going to fix it when he got home from work. Well during the day, our neighbors got together and dug up the yard (about 20 feet) and put a new pipe in and was done before my father got home. He couldn’t believe it and had a big BBQ and pool party for them that weekend at our house and gave gifts to all of them. Oh, I am 62 and this was early 70’s

[@paulam.foreman4413]

Those were the days 💗 love that

[@kimmyB9203]

Where I grew up, all the neighbors would sit outside after dinner when the weather was nice. The men would congregate on one porch and the women would all be chatting on another porch. All of us kids would be playing together. When we had big snowstorms and someone's car would be stuck all the men would be out there shoveling and pushing the car until it was unstuck. When we had a bad storm one summer and the power was out for 3 days, we had a giant barbeque and the women made side dishes and desserts to use up the eggs or milk that would have gone bad. Someone's car didn't start and all the men were out there with their tools to get it running. I loved growing up on that street. It was in the 70's through the 80's and some of the neighbors still gathered after dinner into the 00's. There were a lot of great memories, but the best thing was how they all pulled together when we were going through the toughest times and how wonderful all our neighbors were all the time.

Having experience with a stalker, she is correct about the police. Her stalker would not back off, he would escalate. That's a fact. I also had to break a lease and they kept my deposit. I had to have the police standing there while I packed.

DO THE REPORT. If you do a report it’s easier to get a restraining order. ALWAYS do the report. Also, there are bars that you can put in the well of the windows that makes them impossible to open. Always have a protective dog, take self defense and get trained with a pistol. Don’t take anything for granted. I had a guy like this across the hall at my first apartment… you never know what they might do.

[@Jackferrett6781]

The problem is some people will kill you if you snitch on them. Anyone whose ever been a victim of abuse can tell you that squealing on them can make them ramp it up to 11

[@BiologyBabe]

@@Jackferrett6781 (sorry, this is gonna be a little long but it’s important) a person either defends themselves or they don’t. I’d rather die protecting myself than be someone’s personal plaything. It takes bravery, no doubt, but when a person doesn’t defend themselves, their self esteem is destroyed and the cycle will continue. Secondarily, if a man will do this to this one girl, he will likely do it to another, which means when someone doesn’t report, she is basically allowing other people to get hurt when she could have done something. I have personal experience. When I was a child - from 4-11, my bio-father was r@p;ng me. I report3d it eventually but I refused to testify because I was afraid and because he was “my dad. And I love him.” He got 10 yrs probation and was allowed to scrub his record after he served his sentence (which meant no registry). When I was 26, I learned that he mo/e$ted my sister and brothers (13 years my junior and 18 years my junior respectively). They refused to testify. Then 5 years later, he mo/e$ted his stepdaughter who FINALLY testified (as did I) and we put him away for 14 years. He hasn’t been caught hurting anyone since. And while I know that I was only eleven, and that neither my brother, sister, nor I were at fault for what he did and what we failed to do, doesn’t stop us from feeling responsible and hating ourselves for it. It’s the one thing in your life that I truly regret, being a coward. It’s like Emiliano Zapata said, “It’s better to die on your feet than live on your knees.” I’d trade my life for the opportunity to go back and put him in prison and on the registry when I was the only victim. No one will ever intimidate me into silence again, and I hope I’ve convinced you that it’s worth it for you and the people you know too. Take care. I hope for the best for you my friend and I really appreciate your thoughts on the subject.

[@BiologyBabe]

@@Jackferrett6781 yeah, people need to be brave, becaseu when they are not, other people get hurt. I know this from experience. If you don’t make them pay, then they will be free to hurt other innocent people. I’d gladly get murdered rather than make someone else go through the hell I experienced. Everything is a trade off,

[@phoebetonkin8020]

⁠@@BiologyBabebut that’s the problem. The fear of retaliation or retribution is too big a fear for them. Abusers care about one thing. Being in control. The moment they’re no longer in control they can become violent and unstable

[@Scriptkitty-sd8dp]

As someone who has people park in "my spot" all the time I'm actually on the passive aggressive note writers side. I bought a condo with two parking spots. It is clearly stated in our original paperwork that we have two spots per household. Then about 5 years into living here, the lovely HOA decided to repaint every other spot with a guest sign instead of the house number, so now magically we only have one spot per household and a guest spot. Now anyone can park in our second spot because it's marked as a guest spot. So it was basically mayhem when this first happened and people took advantage and moved their extra five cars into the lot and no one had anywhere to park at all. The HOA was sending letters out every other week about it, but refused to fix the problem and repaint the spots. It's been years and it's still a problem. The biggest issue is we have to shovel/plow our own spots in the winter snow, so if you want to park anywhere near your own home, you have to do it, but there is no way to then save the spot once you leave. So people would come take your spot that you spent hours shoveling. It's so frustrating.

[@hopefletcher7420]

Sounds like it's time to get a new Board for your HOA.

[@norawade8127]

If your contact says you get two spots then you get two spots, not one and a guest spot. The only reason your HOA gets away with it is because no one holds them responsible when they break the contract. You def have a lawsuit that is winnable especially if it's really been going on for years.

[@Scriptkitty-sd8dp]

@@norawade8127 as much as I would absolutely love to do that, it's not worth the money for a lawsuit. If I had money and time in my hands, it would be very satisfying, but I do not. Most of us have banded together and pretty much know who each spot belongs to near us, and we try to watch out for each other.

[@Scriptkitty-sd8dp]

@@hopefletcher7420 one of the neighbors next to me is on the board now, he's on our side 😂. He said he can't do much because the president is the one who changed the rules apparently so he could park his five cars in the lot near his house and take up as many spots as he wants, so until we can get a new president it's not changing, and this guy is pretty ingrained. I work the night shift, so I can never make it to the meetings, and it's really not worth missing work over. We kinda look out for each other in our little lot, at least.

I had a lab/rottie mix dog. I had scheduled someone to come out to service something in the townhouse. My dog got between me and the door and her hackles went up. She growled and began barking. Never in her 13yrs did she act like this. I told the man I can't open the door due to the dog. He originally sounded fine but then his tune changed when he realized I wasn't opening the door. I told him I cannot guarantee his safety were I to do so. I never yelled at my dog if she were ever to bark but this was next level for her. There's no telling what would've happened if I had not listened to my dog. She did not move until he physically left. I watched through the peep hole until he left and i called the company he was from too.

I've never met the neighbor on one side of the place I rent, but the neighbors in the house on the other side are super sweet. They're a retired couple and always wave or say hi when we both happen to be outside. And after one intense snowstorm, I was shoveling and shoveling the snow in my driveway, but it was taking me forever because it was just me against mounds of snow. Cut to the two of them coming over and helping me shovel. I did one half and the two of them did the other. How kind is that? ❤️ They also brought their granddaughters over to sell me Girl Scout cookies. Of course I bought a bunch! 😄

[@SuperChocolatejuice]

So I just moved to my apartment about 2 months ago and this older woman(gives off tweaker vibes) has a dog about the same size as mine (frenchie/chihuahua mix) my dog is not people or pet friendly and has always been this way since puppyhood. I have to tell this to the woman every time I see her because she is always trying to talk to my dog. My dog will go nuts with barking, pulling, and choking himself trying to get to her and her dog. This woman follows me on walks. If I try to go a different route she will stay a close distance behind me and if I stop to let my dog pee or sniff then she will stop. I am trying to teach my dog not to bark or attack however, when she is out it is extremely difficult to control my small dog and my 3 year old who also walks with me. The other night I heard yelling outside of my door and guess who it was? Miss lady with her dog right outside my door! My dog also senses when people approach the door and so he was going ballistic barking at 12am. Another time I caught her during the day letting her dog sniff at my front door. Now the front entrance you kind of have to go into so she went put of her way to do this. Just weird and creepy. I'm not entirely sure how to handle this because she is elderly. But like I said just gives off real major tweak energy
