The pint-sized subject of this note is clearly headed for a life of crime. The neighbor charged that the small child was:
Running free in his backyard
Laughing
Giggling
Carrying on without end
My advice to this neighbor: Get out and get some fresh air — maybe even engage in a little “carrying on” yourself. I bet your dogs will thank you for it!
How would you respond to the busybody neighbor?
This neighbor's eyes are a little too close to her nose.
You eat with that mouth?
Sounds like my former neighbor across the street where I lived in 1992.
She would call the police every time I exited my front door.
Bitter old crone, she was absolutely certain that everyone was out to get her.
I bet they got their house for a bargain :>}
The neighbor is cuckoo. I can't believe she even mentions her bird who likes to look into the neighbor's yard. That's voyeurism! Is it a Parrot? does it mimic barking?
Ok, here's what I think happened. Three neighbors or more are involved. Neighbor #B has two dogs. They bark with the giggling child of Neighbor #C. Neighbor #A is tired of hearing dogs bark and confronts neighbor #B. Neighbor #B passes the blame on neighbor #C.
My questions are, what type of dogs are they and are they child friendly. Will they attack neighbor #C's child?
*.... to call the police and see where it’ll get him/her*
Jes make sure your dog is locked indoors in a kennel. Jes sayin’.
LOL! So, it couldn’t have been simply printed onto a blank piece of paper using Microsoft Word and a decent inkjet?
I would tell the neighbor MYOB.
She should be thankful she doesn’t live in our neighborhood. Every afternoon in one driveway there are four little boys ages 6 to 8 who have decided to form a neighborhood band and practice from 3:30 to 6:00. So far they have one on a drum set, one on trumpet (who really needs lessons), one on a trombone (who needs more than lessons) and one on a guitar who is not too bad. Across the street are three junior high boys playing basketball using a goal mounted on the house over the garage. The thump-slap noise continues from 3:30 to 5:30 and then 6:30 to 8:00. Then we have a soccer or lacrosse game going on in the street plus an occasional parent yelling “Car, car” as someone turns into the cul de sac.
“Ah...nothing would clear the air quicker than a portable air horn.”
I used to have neighbors a few doors down who would take their drunk and coked-up parties outside onto their deck at 3:00 or 4:00 in the morning on a week night waking up me and my neighbors. The neighbors were too meek to do anything so I started blowing a dollar store air horn each time it happened.
It worked most of the time but give it a couple of weeks and they’d forget and do it again.
One night we got in late around midnight and they were at it again.
My son was pissed because he had to get up early so he headed over to the party to tell them them the neighbors were tired of it and were going to call the police.
The homeowner cussed him out and my son said “Suit yourself. The cops will come, shoot your dog and steal your stash.”
That ended it. Pure silence from that house ever since.
I played Berlioz when my neighbor's dog would bark. Bagpipe music worked well also.
Thing is, I couldn't stand my neighbor's nagging voice worse than her barking poodle.
Symphonie Fantastique?
Harold in Italy?
Or the perennial canine favorite, his REQUIEM?!?
LOL! Another good piece that will freak out the canine contingent is “Dogs” by Pink Floyd.
Your neighborhood sounds like heaven. Maybe you should move to a quiet retirement community?
As douchey as neighbors can be, I don't believe someone would ask you to keep your playing giggling child indoors because it's "disruptive" to her dogs and bird who look out the window.
I'm calling BS.
Go to the local postmaster and make a formal complaint for abuse/misuse of your mail box.
Seems to be a noise problem between neighbors.
IF this were real, the writer of the letter is showing a strong root of bitterness. The laughter and squeals of joyful children is love music from God.
You are mistaken!
Look more carefully, there is clear and obvious distortion at the folds.
I posted this pic on my FB feed with the comment: “Cleaning one’s firearms within plain view of the neighbors solves issues such as this:”
