I hesitate to call her a bad neighbor, because she was a really good neighbor until she wasn''t. We'd been close for almost ten years. She was blind and had an adult son who was learning impaired, and she babysat for my daughter and sometimes I took her son to work in bad weather, or took both of them out to dinner. I did not realize she was paranoid schizophrenic until the Sheriff called one day to say she had reported my husband and I for torturing her son with lit cigarettes and stealing his money and hers. It was pretty upsetting, putting it mildly. It got worked out, but still leaves a bad taste, y'know?

@StevenIzzi Laughing. Yes. There were a surprising number of decent folks once I stopped being scared to walk around. :)

@StevenIzzi It's a truly terrifying experience the first time you talk to a Sheriff who at first clearly doesn't believe a word you say.

@cherokeepatti Wow, that takes the cake. 120 dogs ? >£¿}¥®%¢&X !!!
Thank goodness you got that sorted eventually.
I was also living in a rural area which was beautifully peaceful and quiet. I could hear a cow mooing a mile away. Until neanderthal man moved in next door. ☺

@Wraithorn Well even though it is rural land it is within the city limit (the city annexed a lot of rural land because of a lake that was being built so they could sales tax any businesses that were built in the area). After they rounded up the dogs the city passed a law making a limit of 4 adult dogs or cats in any household, unless the homeowner had a kennel license, and then it can be inspected on a regular basis or if there are complaints by neighbors . And now you have to pay $15 each cat or dog for an annual permit and you have to have rabies vaccinations before you can get the permit. If you have a dog running lose and the police or animal control gets involved you can get fined $100 for letting it get loose and $100 (each animal) for not having a permit.

@cherokeepatti Good. Some laws exist for good reason. That's just unfortunate for responsible poor people who can't afford that kind of money.

Yeah...we had an old couple that lived next to us. He was a mean old man who never smiled or had anything nice to say. One winter, he got pissed off about hub's snow removal process and came over to talk to him. He was in the shower, so neighbor relayed the message to me and made me cry. When hub found out, he went over and told the neighbor never to go near me again. (The neighbor died a few years ago and I think it was the first time I didn't feel bad about someone's death...)

New neighbors moved in a house across the street next to my other property after the owner died. They began calling animal control on my goats for eating leaves across the fence. They can charge $100 every time they come out. I ended up selling my animals

In apartment complexes...a lot of them. One guy was so loud people upstairs would bang their floors trying to get him to turn down the stereo.

When I was a kid I used to fight with the kids next door, but the parents weren’t bad.
