What Would You Do? (Obnoxious/Weird Neighbor Situation)

Ugh...

I had a neighbor like that once. I wish I had just talked to him about his weirdness. Instead, I let him take me to my breaking point and I went off on him. I didn't hit him or anything, I just verbally assaulted him to the point he literally pissed himself. He eventually divorced and moved away. I never had a problem with him after our "chat".

I don't recommend that approach. I like neighborhoods to have a positive vibe. Mine definitely didn't for a while. Felt more awkward than having him inserting himself everywhere.

 

I hate to say it but this is about your only answer, or to move.  You must be very blunt and direct and make sure he knows you don't like his little snide remarks in front of your wife.  The whole let him down gently over a beer approach will not work.  People like this can't take a hint which is why you are in the situation to begin with.  I had a really bad neighbor like this once and unfortunately the only thing that solved the problem was moving. 

 

Or you can just burn his house down.

Yeah, I've tried every approach except for being direct about his behavior.  I've even been complimented on how diplomatic I am in direct situations before, but, there really isn't a good way to tell someone, "chill out.  you're creepy and acting like John Wayne Gacy."

 

It's just been crazy.  My mom came and visited for a week not long ago and I had told her about it before, but she just kind of shrugged it off.  Then, after she came and stayed that week, she was scared to go outside by herself.  She'd go out and smoke and he'd come out and smoke and watch her.  LOL.  Dude is weird.

 

I tried to kind of give him what he was looking for before, so I sat out a few times and talked with him in the street for an hour or so a few different times...  The longer I talked with him, the more normal he would seem.  But, then the next day, he'd be right back to the same creepy, crazy, stalker-type stuff.

You gotta be blunt...if you are scared to go outside your home (a place you should be most comfortable/relaxed) then you gotta do something about it. i would even possibly notify authorities if you feel threatened or he might do something crazy That is some downright creepy poo. I would have said sonething the first time I noticed that.

Dont put up with that bs....maybe try having your wife talk to his wife if possible first

I would have a sit down with him.

 

Write down a few of the things that he has said, and repeat them and explain why something like that makes you feel weird, and your wife scared to let the kids play in the yard.  Tell him that you have seen him staring at your Mom while she smokes and peeking through the windows too often

 

I would also let him know that we aren't friends, neighbors, and that's it.

 

Give him time to explain his side, and if it doesn't pass the sniff test...burn his house down.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
