One of the best days of my life was when my next door neighbors finally let their house go to foreclosure and moved away forever. The whole story is nearly a book, and I'll spare everyone that. Over the years, the police, code enforcement, health department, animal control, and child protective services visited many, many times, with no significant improvement ever. The highlight was when I got home from work one day and found my wife hunting their son with her Glock, because he had thrown a freshly used condom in her face. When the county came and unloaded their entire home (which they abandoned) to the street, the smell was so bad, neighbors all the way down the street were coming down to find out where the stench was coming from.
Years earlier, their freezer had crapped out, and they loaded 4 25lb turkeys into a bag and threw it into the yard and left on a 2-week vacation, during a string of 100* days. Again, the smell was so bad, I had neighbors from the whole neighborhood asking about it. To get the cops to come and investigate, I told them they probably put their youngest son (who had died) into the bag, and left him in their yard. When they found out it was four ripe turkeys covered in buzzing insects, I offered them a thousand cash to put it back in their house (and my silence forever). They laughed, but wouldn't do it. They did drag the bag over in front of their front door, and when the neighbors got home, they stepped over it for three more days before getting rid of it.
Your neighbors were a piece of cake.
wow, what nice neighbors you had. I love the used condom story if true, that is hilarious, but not for your wife am sure at the time... too funny!
Funny story here as well: the neighbors who just sold their house accepted offer, the ones who bug me all the time to do stuff for them, or should I say help HIM because his kids and wife, all females, are too wimpy and lazy and weak to help him out lifting not a finger. Sort of feel sorry for him living in a house of 3 females who cannot lift a plate barely and pretty lazy. O.k., back on track: He parked up the street while the home was being shown for like 1 hour tops. My other snooty nose uppidy rich and I am better than YOU ARE attitude neighbor lady came out and asked him who he was and why he was parked in front of their house on a PUBLIC small town city street. He said I live down the street and selling my house so decided to park up the street while it was being shown off with realtor. I guess his answer was NOT good enough since the _itch she is called the cops and later that night the one horse town cop knocked on his house asking for his name and ID since was parked up the street LEGALLY I might add on a public small town street. Can you believe that??? I laughed my keester off and would have told her to call the cops for it is a public street and I can park anywhere I darn well feel like it as long as the vehicle is moved every 24 hours per city ordinance. I told my neighbor once the house sells sneak up at night to their yard and put the century 21 FOR SALE sign in their yard....
On another good note, my other neighbor is moving as well in next 1-2 years he said retiring moving up north on a lake - good riddens to him as well same one who accused me of cutting his string on the lot line for a survey to build his small garage out back of which my wife that next day when got back from vacation marched on over telling them both we were NOT home for 1 week and keep their accusations to themselves. Good for the wife telling them off for I would have not been so polite since I was not home at the time when got the voice recording.
Ya never know though on new neighbors could be 10xs worse as noted by the posting above.
