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

Had a not dissimilar situation.

 

Our neighbor didn't invite himself to things but it was like he was lying in wait for us to come out of the house so he could strike up a conversation or invite us to something.  We couldn't go to the mailbox without him intercepting us in the driveway and outdoor chores were an exercise in futility to the point I had to hire someone to do my grass.

 

We started doing all of the things he would say he didn't like.  If he complained about kids in the neighborhood playing music too loud we slowly raised the volume in our car stereos.  The more he bitched about decorated yards (lights, inflatables, etc) the more we added and the more holidays we did it for.  I learned to talk about baseball because he didn't like it.  You get the picture.

 

It took a while but he slowly stopped coming out as much and within 6 months or so had become one of those folks you waved at and wouldn't have a problem ringing their bell if you were locked out but never really talked to.  In other words, a good neighbor.

Start inviting him to do manual labor around your house.  Work him to DEATH.   Eventually he'll stop being around to "help" lol.  It's odd he admits he watches, but that also makes me think he's just weird and not dangerous.  The real wierdos don't admit or let on, and appear normal, until it's too late.   Sounds like a lonely dude.

There has to be someone else in the neighborhood who annoys the crap out of you. Make friends with them and then let psycho boy tag along and introduce him to your "new friend". Be clear to point out how much those two have in common with each other and if all goes well, he will start stalking him instead. If that doesn't work, I'd contact the police department and see if they have any record of mental illness with him or suspicious activity. If you can establish a pattern of behavior through law enforcement, it may give you leverage down the road in case there is some type of altercation.

To answer Biscuit:

Going to the commander wouldn't really give any results unless he's just living really nasty. Even then, most commanders will give him every chance in the world to clean up his act before taking action.

Not to mention there are tons of regulations about inspecting a privately owned residence with family members that would have to be addressed before anything could even start.

It would take much more than an annoyed neighbor to get that ball rolling.

-and that is if he is on active duty. if he is in the guard or a reservist, a commander is pretty powerless in that situation.

Does he rent or own the property? If he rents, talk to the property manager. If he owns it... well, good luck.

Buy a bottle of liquor and drink it with him. Then when you're both good and wasted, go into a drunken tirade that starts as a slow methodical explanation of what the problem is and crescendos into a a full blow screaming word-slurring verbal assault. 

 

Then the next day you can just pass off the overreaction as being wasted like:

 

"I'm sorry about going off on you bro, I was stupid drunk, I can't believe we drank that whole bottle.......but seriously, I'll fuging cut you, stay away from my family"

      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
