OTHow to **** the neigbours off but not go too far? long
Next door neigbours have turned weird with us,
i know half of the problem, i am medicaly retired (progressive joint problems, gut problems, anemia etc), dont have kids, dont smoke, dont drink, dont eat takeaways etc, so all the money i get goes on me, hence i have a motorhome (self built over 7 years and perfectly fine with the DWP.. they even said it was a good thing, gives me something to do rather than being a couch potatoe) we also have a new car, which my parents bought... they put my brother through uni on a 5 year course, so spent a quarter of what they spent on him for a new economical car for me. Nextdoor have a kid, smoke like chimneys, dunno about drink but i often hear them moaning about the cost of their fags and it leaving them with hardly any money to buy food for the kid with!! bloke got made redundant last year, and seems to have only had temporary jobs since, and had a long time on JSA, thats when they turned frosty, i can see why, they are struggeling to get by, paid over the odd for their house (bought it for 150k, it's been valued at 115k when they thought about moving to a cheaper area when he got made redundant, and they've spent about 15k doing the house up... i know this as they talk to their friends in the driveway, and i can clearly hear them) And next door to them is someone living in practicaly the same house, but renting, has money to spend on him self, dosent work and so on (never mind the fact that i am often stuck in bed or on the toilet for days on end) someone keeps phoning the benefits anti fraud hotline and telling them every single thing i ever do, i can be 99% certian it's them doing it, as the list of things reported.. most can only be seen from their window, and they report everything, when i check the oil in the motorhome, 'he's leaning over the bonnet, disab led people shouldent be able to do that' was the one for that (had a visit from the bebefits compliance officer, he showed me the list..3 pages worth and he gets more daily, he said he's tried to ignore them, but had to come out and check... but more to let me know he said) i park my motorhome paralell with the house front, this means i have to go over the very front of their drive to get in and out, our drive is L shaped, the bit that goes along the side of the house to the garage, then an extra bit infront of the house, theirs is just the side bit (joined to ours down the middle), and grass infront of the house.. we chose this house as it had room for my motorhome and car. i asked them about me having to go over their drive when i brought the van over, and they said no problems, i only do it 10 times a year if that, but now it seems they have changed their minds, and have just sunk a 4 foot scaffold pole with a solar light on the top right at the end of the drive, meaning my motorhome is now trapped, there's a railing along the front of my drive (and along the off side of the van), so i'll have to remove that to get out i guess, They also keep claiming my dog is ****ting on their front lawn, despite me making sure she never does, they can never show me the offending turds tho, even tho i said if they see one, tell me and i'll clean it up. As my girlfriend has a scooter, i park my car on the join of the drives, this allows her to get her scoot out of the garage and past my car between the house wall, nextdoor have taken to parking their car and his van right on the join of the drive too, she scraped the length of my car with her mirror the other day cos of that, yesterday she was parked with her wheels over our drive (ours is block paved, with a slightly raised bit where the drives join which clearly marks out hte boundries, end of the raised bit is where ours ends, the tarmac is theirs.. it's perfectly in the middle of the boundry line and garages middles) i parked my car as i normaly do, meaning if she reversed she'd go into my car, so my GF got some photo's of the way she parked just incase. again i asked them about parking like that, i said i'd feel happier doing it that way, than if i parked against my house wall, then my GF would be backing her scoot between my and their cars, rather than a wall and my car, Now when i try to talk to them, they say they are too busy, and walk off, i honnestly tried to be friendly with them, So now i'm thinking **** em, i'm not going to drive the van over their scaffold pole light post even tho i am tempted to, 5 tons of van with a solid steel bumper insert against a scaffold pole, i know which will win, and that'd leave the scaffold pole bent over blocking their drive, but that'd leave me open to criminal dammage charges?? or would i just have to pay for the scaffold pole?? So what can i do to annoy them, but not go too far that they can do anything about it, thought about putting a cctv camera looking down the drive, it'd not be connected up, but i know people get really arsey about them, i could get a decibel meter, and play horrible gothy death metal type music at 1DB under the legal limit, maybe put a flagpole back out the front (this place had one before we moved in) they are cristians, i could fly an athiest flag, or a satan worshiper flag, but i think that might not be allowed, people flying jolly rogers have been done, they are not the type to be loyal to the country, so flying a union flag upside down wont do owt. i'd put a big sticker in the upstairs window that overlooks their kitchen (did overlook a bedroom, but he blocked their window up... breeze blocks behind the window) i know they pull the kitchen blind when ever they see me up in that room, hmm, maybe a lifesize print of me staring in their window, then they'd have to live in darkness all the time, i would really like to have been friends, but this light post thing has screwed that up. |
