Neighbors...

[TBS]

Heh. Show us a pic of your yard. I’m envisioning broken washing machines, old refrigerators, bicycles, snow machines, unused building materials, random discarded stuff, ragged blue tarps over everything,

Other than the snow machines, ^^^ sounds like most residences on the high road to Taos

And the low road too. Española, Rinconada, Pilar, etc.

The first time I met my neighbor, he was digging the grass out of his parking strip and I asked him how it was going, he immediately started screaming in a string of curses I couldn’t try to recreate about what a terrible job it was going to be.

The second time I saw him, he was screaming at his girlfriend in the front yard for being a “junkie slut”

The third time was this week. I was walking the dog at 6am and he and purported junkie slut gf are in the front yard, high as shit. He’s shadow boxing with a gigantic sunflower he grew and asked me to have a spar with it.

Never a dull moment in Spokane.

Ha! I'd hate to have some of y'all nosy fucks looking down your noses at me and I'm sure you'd hate my yard as a neighbor as well. I've posted some pics of my backyard before. I have gotten it down to 4 vehicles, a snowmobile, some demo material, a drift boat, burn barrel, wood pile, and a sketchy shed. But my neighbors are good small town Montana folk who mind their own fucking business. We also help each other when need be.

That’s funny.

Please tell me you boxed the sunflower with the junkies?

Not my current neighbors, but my upstairs neighbors in my condo which we moved out of while my wife was pregnant for fear that she would murder the neighbor in a fit of hormone+legitimate fit of rage. List of things they did/have done to us or our tenants:

-Upon buying their condo, they did a cursory wipedown of dust and didnt have a trashcan so they tried to flush half a rolls worth of paper towels and then left for the night. Proceeded to flood their condo, and 3 rooms in my downstairs condo. The remediation company (hired by the HOA) sent me pics of their bathroom with paper towels stuffed in the toilet. The neighbors lied to their insurance, and gave statements saying that our downstairs pipes must have flooded their upstairs condo. 6months later, they bought us a cheap, sickly sweet bottle of blueberry wine to say sorry.

-When replacing their water soaked flooring, the neighbors cheaped out and directed contractor to forgo padding underneath flooring (talked with their contractor during install), so the floor squeaks loudly when their morbidly obese selves walk on it.

-volunteeered to be on the board of the HOA and promptly spearheaded a proposal to ban plantings from resident porches because she didnt like the bees that flowers attracted. It did not pass.

-Complained to my wife and the HOA board about my tenants use of their BBQ "late at night smoking her condo out". It was at 630pm, and she never tried to talk to my tenants.

-Levied a fine against me/my tenants for having a loud barking dog. They have a (quiet) cat, not a dog.

-Complained to the HOA about my tenants storing a trailer-grill in our shared garage because it could be a fire hazard (tenants are cooks at a james beard awarded restaurant who run a catering biz on the side).

-Lastly, on a big snow day she backed her car out of her parking stall, apparently decided that she was stuck, and left it blocking my car and several other cars. When we knocked on her door asking WTF and to move her car she was able to drive back into her parking stall by simply putting it in drive and following her existing tire tracks 20'.

Isn't that just apartment living?

I kid, I kid.

Youre not wrong. The ceiling on how bad neighbors can be in apartments is a lot lower than houses, but the floor on being a bad apartment neighbor is also a lot lower.

I'd rather have the neighbor with a bunch of bike, motorcycles, broken down cars and shit in their front yard than the bitchy know it all neighbors who are concerned with what everybody's yard looks like and complain every time a dog barks (I have some of those).

I mean... there's a happy medium in between those two things, you know. And FTR, I don't want *either* of your fictional neighbors.

we are far enough narth so there is a dead snow M/C or 2 behind the dead PU, there used to be 2 dead PU's the motor cycle is dead, nothing gets put away so all that stuff just sits where ever it got dropped when it came in the yard, dead ATVs, dead cars on the street and in the parking spot up on the jack with parts on the lawn often the grass is waist high and she never cuts it all in one go

I look at it every day out the kitchen widow so when i looked at the pict of that house it didnt look so bad at all until I looked closer because I have become habituated to red neck living, I am just happy the dog shit & barking dog have been dealt with

[hawkgt]

^^^ that ain't bad, I've lived in the Ozarks, whole new world for yard piles.

If you want, I'll come up and grab that cycle and get it out of your vision.

[XXX-er]

The honda is there cuz it doesnt run ,

the kid just seems to bring broken stuff home to work on which he never does so it just gets left wherever, the grass grows up around it so Ma can't really mow assuming she ever got her shit together enough TO mow, the snow will start falling in a month which will cover every thing till spring which will look better

that house on the right was bare 90 yr old shiplap when I got here ( someone asked me if it was my garage ) back in the day they pushed 3 shacks together to make a 2 bedroom house bolted it all together put a roof on it, put it all on woood blocks which rotted to the point the right front corner of house was 7 inches lower than the left front corner, a ski bud looked at the house to buy it cuz it was THE cheapest house in town, she said all the walls were so crooked it gave her vertigo being inside


i'm just happy they cleaned up the dog shit and control the barking rescue dog

Montana and Sandy Utah are polar opposites.
We have 50 nice houses and properties here.
This lady is hated by the neighborhood as she’s the only one that doesn’t give a fuck.

speaking of lawnmowers... I live in a suburban neighborhood, a mix of townhomes, duplexes, and SFHs. All pretty small lot sizes, nobody has a giant lawn. Nobody has even a medium lawn. Yet I am utterly amazed at how frequently I hear the hum of a lawnmower (like now!). I swear there must be numerous neighbors who mow multiple times a week. And mow over and over the same small patch to make sure every blade gets cut. Because nobody has a lawn that should take more than 5 minutes to mow, yet the mowers are "on" for a long time.

[AK47bp]

Some people mulch leaves with the mower instead of raking this time of year.

Is that a load-bearing SUP?

Where my in-laws live in New Jersey it's the lawn crews that show up every day and make a shit ton of noise. Literally everybody who lives in this neighborhood (except my in-laws, who have lived on the block decades longer than anybody else) hires out their yardwork on their medium size lawns, and all day long it's the sound of mowers and--even worse--those stupid gas blowers that the workers use instead of rakes to move leaves around. I guess it's easier on their backs than raking, but damn those gas blowers are loud af. Never a quiet moment during the daytime except on Sundays.

Got one less now. Weird seeing a body coming out of a neighbor’s house.

You should move to my neighborhood. I haven't cut my grass since June.

Better than seeing one on the ground at the curb with evidence markers all over the street that close to your front door.
