tOdd,
I have a couple of neighbads. One, and old lady
across the street lives there with her 400lb+ son "Rod" (couldn't fit
him better). She sucks smokes down like a drowning rat trying to get
air, all the while on oxygen for emphysema. DOH! God I wish she'd blow
up. About once a month the fire department shows up because "she can't
breathe" or some other pathetic she-did-it-to-herself bullshit. And
"Rod" has gotten so fat he can't even drive his crap blue
big-windows-on-the-sides van anymore to go get his two 6pks of BIG
Pepsis at the local quickie mart. So he parks it in the itty-bitty space
on the street in between him and the neighbors-I-Adore. It sat for 6
freakin months!
I finally called the Parking Enforcement. Also,
this was grand. A big delivery truck pulls up in front of the old smoke
bag's house last October and to my amazement, starts unloading new
furniture! OMG! The house is a shit-hole, has an old camping trailer in
back (fatty Rod used to live in it), garbage in bags in the back yard,
and another dead car in the driveway. So it looks from the outside like
they don't have two nickels to rub together, and here comes this new
goddamned furniture! So the old furniture get hucked over the deck into
the yard, along with a twin bed and frame that had mysteriously showed
up the night before. The new furniture, which by the way was a black
with some gaudy-ass gold design on it looked almost identical to the old
black gaudy design furniture that is now on the lawn!!! So it is October
is Seattle, hello? Rain anyone? And there is furniture in the yard.
Duh!! Also they are such heavy smokers that no Charity in the world
(okay, maybe in Hell) would want it, due to the stench. But is it too
much to ask to call 1800JunkBusters or something, cripes, how lazy can
you get? Pretty lazy because that crap sat in their yard for 3
months!!!!! I finally reported them to the City for code violations,
illegal dumping, etc.
That is only one story, they have given me
plenty more, but my hand is going numb and now I am tired from releasing
my anger.
Todd, you make me laugh and I'll send more
another night.

Hii,
I just wanted to add to everyone who has a neighbad with a barking dog,
that there are devices you can use to train the dog not to bark. Legal
ones, that is, specifically designed for that purpose. I don't know if
they work, but maybe it's worth looking into. Apparently, you don't even
have to be near the dog, touch the dog or go on someone else's property
to use them.
