Sometimes, you just gotta say enough is enough…
And if you’ve spent a lot of time having to deal with a rude, crude, or ignorant neighbor (or all of the above), you know that you finally reach a breaking point where action is required.
What that action is depends on the person and the situation, but if you’re at the end of your rope, you’re gonna do SOMETHING.
In today’s story, a person talked about why they finally had enough and decided to take action about some neighbors who were pretty terrible.
Read on and get all the details below.
I finally called code.
“I’ve had a couple of bad neighbors through the years and I finally got through to the police department to do something about it.
Mainly for the people that were having parties after midnight on a Wednesday. My other neighbors are a different story. I live on an island and most places have caught up with the times and building codes. Most houses are elevated for flood waters and have to have metal roofs.
Some folks are stuck in the past…
But, there are a few instances in some of the neighborhoods that people are refusing to get with the times. For example my neighbors across the street from me live in a single wide trailer.
While there’s nothing wrong with that, there is a problem with what they’re doing with their property. There was block shed at the back of their property that housed their washer/dryer, lawn equipment, etc. about a year ago they built an addition to it and moved one of their friends in.
Not really an issue at the time. People fall on hard times every now and then, and sometimes need help. The next thing they did was enclose the car port and moved another person in there.
Again it’s not bothering anyone so why should I care? Probably another person falling on hard times that needs some help.
Living by folks like this can get really old, really fast…
The final straw was they built a shed to house their washer/dryer, lawn equipment, and tools, or so I thought. I got home from work on Friday and all their stuff was scattered across the yard and they were moving another person in to live in the shed.
Now one would think that if you have a bunch of illegal rentals and illegal dwellings on your property you would want to be as inconspicuous as possible. Well, one would think wrong for these people.
The whole weekend they were out blaring music and yelling all day and night. Even when I woke up for work this morning at 330, they were still playing music.
I’ve had a bunch of friends tell me that I should mind my own business when it comes to stuff, but when they make it my business something needs to be done about it, right?
So we’ll see what code does, it may get worse before it gets better.
Rant done.”

Ugh…what a mess.
This kind of situation can really weigh on a person’s mind and you eventually have to take some kind of action if you’re dealing with something like this.
Let’s hope that at least some of this stuff gets cleared up!
Sometimes, it’s best to let the authorities handle these things…
