Default Dealing with old neighbors... (long)

Am I the only one that had a good laugh at this part?


Two years ago I had a new roof and vinyl siding put on my
house and she would come over to my yard bugging the contractors
everyday saying stuff like: "I don't like that siding, it doesn't match
the color of my window trim" or "I don't like the pattern of those roof
shingles; change it" She delayed the construction by a whole week
because of her bitchin. She bosses other neighbors around too, telling
them what to do and when to do it!



Jack talks tough, but what kind of pussy would let a little old lady
delay construction for a week like this? Simple enough to handle.
Tell her to stay off your property. Tell the contractor and workmen
not to talk or listen to her. If she comes on your property, call the
police. If Jack can't handle this, termites are the least of his
problems!

As for the termite problem itself, the simplest remedy would be to have
the termite company put a maximum strength barrier treatment along the
side of his structure facing little old lady's carport. The only
other remedy would be to get expert witnesses that would testify in
court that the carport is infested with termites, they are creating a
problem with your house, and there is no effective way to deal with it
on your own property. If you can prove all that, which I think is
unlikely, then you could prevail in a lawsuit.
