Rude neighbors

[Dag]

What would you do if your neighbor rang the doorbell and knocked on your door at 4 AM?  
Fortunately (for him), I was awake.



I worked in my garage,  -synchronized the carburetors on my Valkyrie.

Do you mean 4:00 AM instead of 4:00 PM?

4:00 AM, he just might get a load of Double "OO" buck in his rear.

4:00 PM, I'd invite him in for a coffee.   For me that is 2 hours before my supper.

RJ - I think he was just implying he wasn't in the house. Was out working on the fat lady....

It depends on what she wants.  And if it is my neighbor to the north I would invite her in. 

[Dag]

4 AM.... sorry  

[KY,Dave (AKA Misunderstood)]

4 AM.... sorry  

I stand corrected.

[Momz]

Just make a lot more motor noise.
That's the "Detroit" way of dealing with nosey neighbors.

Dag, were you revving an unbaffled bike at 3:45 am?

Yes, but my neighbor didnt have to listen if he didn't want to.
I think he's just jalous....

Reminds me of a joke:

A man is in bed with his wife when there is a knock at the door. He rolls over and looks at his clock, and it's 3:30 in the morning. "I'm not getting out of bed at this time," he thinks, and rolls over.

Then a louder knock follows. "Aren't you going to answer that?" says his wife. So he drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is a man standing on the porch. It didn't take the homeowner long to realize the man was drunk.

"Hi there," slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push??"

"No, get lost! It's half past three. I was in bed," says the man and he slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, "That wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the babysitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get us started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?"

"But the guy was drunk," says the husband. "It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him."

So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes downstairs. He opens the front door, and not being able to see the stranger anywhere he shouts, "Hey, do you still want a push?" And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah, please." So, still being unable to see the stranger he shouts, "Where are you?"

And the drunk replies, "Over here, on the swing."

we had a neighbor that would go out and start his diesel truck at 5am, let it idle until he left for work at 6.  his truck was about 20' from our bedroom, and i didn't have to be up until 6 o'clock.   every single day!!  man those things are loud!!  

one morning, (and i was very very neighborly) i went out and turned off his truck.  waited for him to come out, then introduced myself.  calmly told him of the situation that his truck was extremely noisy, and appoligised for doing what i did.  he then started parking on the street in the summer months, and in the winter he would back in so the exhaust pipe didn't blow towards our window.  he turned out to be one of our best neighbors, it also helped that he had a KNOCK OUT BLOND WIFE THAT WOULD LAY OUT IN A BIKINI EVERY SUMMER!!

i can sympathize, my neighbor like to sit on his deck(about 10 ft from my bedroom window) and party until 2-3 am. during the week. his latest fun is setting off a "cherry bomb" 2-3 times a night.

he has taken wood from my back yard. his son plays his car stereo late at night.

and his wife has a horse laugh, the neighbors 3 houses away can hear her.

we live in a quiet neighborhood.

being in the country and not expecting anyone/wanting anyone I have answered the door many times in my underwear with a shotgun or my 44.

what ever happened to the "golden rule" (you know, do onto others as you'd want them to do to you)?

So...  I guess I'm at a loss as to who is the rude neighbor here.

................

Many years ago I had a neighbor knock on my door everyday for about two weeks at 3am to help him get his Deisel VW Rabbit started. Had to hook up to my truck, pull it about 1/2 block, and pop the clutch, once started in the morning it would start all day long.
He was a Milk delivery guy, hence the 3am work time, and was supporting a pregnant wife and two little girls so he didn't have much left over money for unexpected car repairs.  He thought it was going to cost him a bundle so he had to wait for a couple of paychecks.

Thing is once he did take it in it cost $.15 for a blown glow plug fuse.

I did not mind at all helping this guy out, my theory is - you need to be a good neighbor if you want good neighbors.

I'd set a bear trap in some leaves near the woodpile. I'm not kidding around either. That type of stuff really pisses me off.

, my theory is - you need to be a good neighbor if you want good neighbors.

very true.  that's why i'll snow blow out my neighbors drive way after the snow plow leaves that crusty heavy wet snow.  once it freezes solid, it's there till salt gets on it!

there's two older ladies that live two doors down, i'll do their driveways hoping to get a Pie, but they'll give me cash instead!!  (i'd reather have the pie!!)

Quoted for truth.  I always try to help my neighbors out if I can. 

Didn't know any of the neighbors for quite a while after I moved in.  Then I built my shop (as my neighbor calls it, the monster shop).  Not really sure why but that's what he calls it.  Regardless, if you want to find out who your neighbors are build a shop, install a lift and they'll come crawling out of the woodwork just as soon as something on the ride breaks.  That's ok, my standing rule is if the vehicle stays on my lift past midnight, then they owe me twenty bucks.   It's amazing how many folks bust their butts to beat that time line.    That rule does have a couple of exemptions but, that's mostly related to bust line issues.

I have had the same neighbors for 17 years.  I am the "new guy".

we all get a long great.  I have had 2 noise issues with my one neighbor in 17 years.  One was a barking dog for HOURS.  I finally called and asked them to do SOMETHING about the dog barking.  They couldn't hear her as she was on OUR side of the house, and they sleep on the OTHER side of the house.  The wife was mad at me for a day.  Saying... "You know, EVERYONE in my house was awake when you called here last night!!"  I said... "Yeah?  No crap.  Mine too!".  And that hit home.

The other time was a super-comp car getting rev-tuned in his garage every 20 minutes for 6 hours until about 2:00 AM.  I was going fishing at 3:00 AM, so I did a little rev-tuning of my old blazer 15' from their bedroom window at 3:00 till 3:30.   

Overall we have been VERY good neighbors. 

I don't like all the illegal Mexicans they have living there.  the Daughter's baby-daddy is an illegal, and all his brothers live with them too.

HOLY crap... I could write a book about that group.  They live in a trailer out back, with a 200' extension cord for power.  No water.  No plumbing.  Jeese... I should take pictures...

yes the wood thing was the worst. our wedding anniversary is in the fall. my wife and i like to have a fire in the fire pit on that evening.  had to go BUY some for the evening

A bear trap might be a little extreme. I mean , might.
Rubber snakes might do it, but the bear trap would let you know who and when.
Stealing a man's heat would be grounds for Ortho fish emulsion in a fellers heater intake on the car.
Dont ask anything.

[Hoser]

I don't have any neighbors, they all got pi$$ed off and moved!       Hoser
