How do you deal with a neighbor you can't stand?

Question

My neighbor is a looser he is always drinking all hours of the day and I am pretty sure he is doing drugs now,a couple of weeks ago he had his friend over and was drinking from 11:00 a.m to 8:00p.m at night .At 7:00p.m his drunk friend was laying in my yard and I went out side like excuse me get out of my yard my neigbor just looked at me and I told him keep your friends in your own yard.Since then I really can't stand him I know he drives around drunk his friend who was laying in my lawn also had a kid with him and he drove off drunk as can be with his kid in the car I called the police and reported it but I don't think they caught him because I saw him the next day.Now when my neighbor tells me hi I just look at him and look away.Am I wrong to be so upset?

Answer 1

idk

Answer 2

If he is in your yard.  Have the lawn sprinkler system go off.

or

Set the sprinklers up so it will give him a nice cold one.

Answer 3

I think you're justified with your emotions... short of calling the police (like you already did), you can't really do much...

All I can suggest is to call the cops and report him every time you suspect some sort of crime going on - drugs, child neglect, drunk driving, etc.  If you're feeling charitable you could tell him that you don't approve of his goings on, and that if he doesn't keep it to his own property out of view of your property, that you'll report him for what he's doing.  Tell him you don't necessarilly want to get him in trouble, but that you don't want to see or hear any of it anymore.

Hope things turn out ok!

Answer 4

your not wrong next time they sould put his drunk *** in jail lol

Answer 5

mind your own busniess or move

the poice cant do anything unless they  see him in the act you cont reeally do anything best of luck

Answer 6

Keep it simple, every time he get into his car, call the police (anonymously) with his license plate number and say that the way this jerk cut you off he must be trashed out of his mind.

I had a neighbor that was the same way. He came into money and moved next to me. He was a skinny dirt bag who would smoke his cigarettes all day, drink beer like a lush, work on his car, then hop in and drive off. Being afraid he'd hit a kid, I called the cops a few times saying that this guy was trashed, he wound up with a DUI.......whoopie, I won.

Answer 7

i hope they go away for you and you get some nicer neighbors, they are acting immaturely

it would be nicer if you were not so upset, but you have every right to want your yard to be free of drunken neighbors, if you can speak to them, inform them that they should be more respectful but i think this is not that kind of situation, so i hope they move away soon

Answer 8

As long as he isn't keeping you up at night or risking your life, you have no grounds to have him arrested. I'm sure He's a nuisance as I can relate to your problem. A privacy fence would be a good idea.

Answer 9

ure so right to be upset. tell them about themselves and/or start calling the cops.

i have this issue with my neighbors. Their tv is so loud i can hear them thru the wall n ive told them about it and nothing..right now its so f'in loud that i can just scream!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 10

no its his faulkt. next time report him again

Answer 11

uh yea! u need to b! he shouldnt b doing drugs he needs to KNOW THAT NOT THINK BUT KNOW thats hes not supposed to b doing such things

Answer 12

Call social services anonymously if you can and tell them what is going on. It sounds like they might be putting their child in danger.

Answer 13

heck no. what an idiot.ugggghhhh people like that make me mad. the next time it happens you call the d**n cops and complain.

Answer 14

Here is my ways :

talking to him directly about  his affect on you,   if not work,  talking to the cop after you get  enough  evidence about you neighbor's affect on you,  then you can cope with him rationally and lawfully.

hope you deal with it  pefectly .

Answer 15

No...you need to continue calling the Police and pull a few pranks on him. Lean a long nail or s***w under his car tire, order him a subscription to g*y Life magazine, go to the US Postal service website and put his mail on hold for a few weeks, advertise a garage sale at house house this weekend and buy a big dog that barks loud and will bite his *** if he tries anything.

Answer 16

report a complaint to thee po-po.

THEN put cement in his gas tank >_<

Answer 17

No, not at all.  He doesn't deserve you giving him the time of day.  I aplaud you for calling the cops before too and I suggest you make sure you do, each and every time you know someone is drinking and driving.  If he isn't generally doing anything to bother you just ignore him and if he does do anything to bother you then call the police if the situation warrants it.  Good Luck

Answer 18

You're not required to like your neighbor.  Just LOVE thy neighbor.

I think you have a right to be upset, but then you eventually need to just move on, since what he does is MOSTLY out of your control.

Just live your life and (stay aware) without thinking about what he is doing all the time.

Answer 19

Mind your own business. Everyone hates nosy neighbors.

Answer 20

Report a complaint to the police department.

Answer 21

I put up a 8 foot fence, took care of my problem. Also if he is driving drunk / drugs with a child call CPS.

Answer 22

kick his ***, no your not, you cant pick your neighbors, just be mature about it

Answer 23

challenge him to 10 rounds of bare knuckle boxing.

Answer 24

no i would be really mad! just ignore him and call the cops on him when he drives away drunk ( he won't catch on that your the one calling)...just don't do anything to make him mad cause people are mean when their drunk and on drugs and junk

Answer 25

your a snitch

Answer 26

slash his tires

Answer 27

no, continue to report him every singal time..... be vicious  

ps if you have an outdoor pet be carful it could get hurt if your neighbor doesnt like you

Answer 28

You should get a shotgun A.K.A. scatergun and be a redneck so every time he goes on your yard you shoot him and yell get off my property.

Answer 29

I don't agree with people saying "Mind your own business."  Drunk friends not knowing where the property lines are?  A man driving around drunk with a kid in the car?  Yeah, they haven't done anything to you... yet.  You don't have to be neighborly to this guy anymore, and you have every right to be upset.  Just be careful around this guy.

Answer 30

try to confront him about it without lashing out. if you still have problems just call the cops until he's busted and learns to stop

Answer 31

of course you have ever right to be upset this guy is living right next to you!  I would say keep calling the cops...for any little thing...cause then at least he will get the hint that you will keep calling.  also if he threatens you because you called...call again.  if moving is not an option you gotta try to get this guy under control...or at least behind his own closed doors and away from you
