No one likes a tattletale…
But sometimes it’s necessary to put someone on blast!
That’s what this person felt like they had to do after they had to keep dealing with a no-good neighbor.
Read on and check out what went down!
Neighbor’s aggressive dogs kept attacking mine… so I went full neighborhood tattletale.
“I have 3 dogs. I’m super conscious of being a responsible owner. If they bark outside, they’re brought in immediately and each one of them has been trained extensively in obedience.
These dogs were different…
My neighbors also have 3 dogs. When they first moved in, they were shocked at how well-trained mine were. I could tell it made them insecure because theirs were (and still are) out-of-control, reactive, and constantly barking.
So when they would see me address mine they would tell me “Don’t do that they’re just being dogs and doing their job!”
Translation: they don’t want to feel bad about their own dogs chaotic behavior.
Uh oh…
Now my yard is fenced in with a vinyl picket fence ($8k). They built their fence using mine as the fourth wall which wasn’t an issue… until one of their dogs started repeatedly trying to break through my fence to attack mine.
I went above and beyond to avoid conflict and installed privacy backing on my fence and planted 15 boxwoods ($1k more) in an attempt to block the view so their dog wouldn’t go berserk. Neighbors husband literally mocked me saying, “That’s not gonna work, they’ll still hear each other.”
Spoiler: he was right.
So after the extra financial investment and labor intensive work of planting the bushes didn’t work I sent a polite, carefully worded text and asked that they prevent their dog from attacking my fence as I was concerned it was gonna eventually break, offered solutions, emphasized safety and said I still wanted to maintain good rapport with one another.
Their response?
These people were something else…
Play the victim and blame my dogs. Then I started getting unhinged texts from the wife about how my message “ruined her week” and how “stressful” this is for them and how I owed her an apology.
Eventually, they put up a 6 foot privacy fence attached to mine (illegal height, but whatever since they now don’t like me I’d prefer not seeing them hence why I didn’t report it to the town).
Problem solved, right?
Nope.
Here we go again…
They started letting their dogs off-leash in the unfenced areas. I ended up getting security cameras installed, and thank god I did because I caught everything on video: the same dog trying to break through my fence to attack my dogs, their other 2 running into my garden, and all of them running at large in the street where people walk constantly.
After they started cursing me out when their dog tried attacking mine I got the police involved which infuriated her. The lieutenant himself told me to keep sending every clip and he’d fine them every single time. He was genuinely concerned about safety in the neighborhood after seeing my footage.
Now for the petty revenge.
It was time to put these folks into their place once and for all.
Tonight, I caught them on camera walking their dog in the wildlife refuge across the street. Dog poops. They don’t pick it up.
My neighborhood has a FB group where people constantly complain about mystery poop. So this time, instead of ignoring it, I sent the video to our community leader. He told me to post it publicly and also asked that I email every resident about their behavior.
Done.
Now the entire neighborhood knows they’re the scumbags who:
-Let their dogs off leash -Have an aggressive dog trying to attack others -Don’t pick up after them
People even commented they’ve stopped walking on our block because they felt unsafe and others said they always wondered who was leaving the piles all over.
Even better our community leader also personally went over to shame them and said he’d bring it up with the cops too (power in numbers baby!)
So tonight, instead of me being frustrated, they got called out publicly, shamed privately, and will likely get fined again soon.
And I got to sit back knowing every single word I said was backed by video evidence with no way for them to spin it.”
