    So now we're supposed to control the Weather?

    We have this neighbor lady who's a real bitch. She is just downright ornery and nasty to most of the people in our cul-de-sac. She and her husband go around to the houses and sit there and tell everyone how to do their yard, and make general complaints about how things are run. We've always been polite and calmly fixed whatever they've complained about 'cause it's easier than fighting them.

    This latest issue though, I'm not sure what she expects us to do. We've had 2 straight days of 30-40 mph winds and it's gotten really cold. My sister was home today and heard this almighty *CRASH* against the front door. She rushes out of her room and sees the poor cat cowering under the piano so she continues to the door and opens it. There's this huge pile of twigs and sticks (no branches though) from one of the trees in our front yard. The lady had apparently spent some time picking them up and just dumped them on our doorstep.

    My sister was royally pissed so she taped them up in a bundle with a note reading: "If you would like to discuss this, please feel free to come to our door and we'll talk. --Merry Christmas!" and left it on their driveway.

    She tells me this as she's headed out the door for class. Dad's out shopping so I'm sitting here waiting for this lady to show up screaming. Hopefully, she won't come until he gets home though.

    If she'd just come up and politely complained, we would have definitely offered to come pick up their yard. Probably will end up doing that anyway but for cryin' out loud passive aggressive much?

    Your sister's made of awesome. She called out their bad behavior and wasn't rude about it. Keep us posted.

      I wouldnt be so petty (like neighbor lady) about twigs and stick and leaves and the like. I think your sister did the right thing..its also pretty funny. If it was something like dog poo or similar, then Id agree she should be annoyed.

      If I were like your neighbor lady, my neighbors would have about 3 hefty bags filled with pinecones and leaves on their front steps, as I have NO trees in my yard, but they have 4 in theirs.

        So Dad got home and I told him what was going on. He tried to go over and talk to them and apologize for...stuff though I'm not sure entirely what he's apologizing for. Both their cars were there, the lights were on and the dog yapping away but neither one came to the door.

        I'm not really surprised because these guys are notorious cowards. They sure dish out a lot of crap but they never confront anyone directly and if anyone confronts them, they just lie and deny.

        Mom's going to go try and talk to the lady again tomorrow so I'll try and update again if anything comes of it.

          Yep and now expect to get "violation" notices from the city/animal control/health department/CPS and pretty much any other city government agency that's involved in city ordinance enforcement about a whole smorgasboard of things, from dog feces in the yard to an unkept lot to neglected children. Happened to my parents growing up and now it's happening to us.

          That's what usually ends up happening when you have asshole neighbors.

            Well, my parents went over to try and talk with them again today. They still wouldn't answer the door, however, the bundle of twigs was dumped back on our lawn sometime during the day when people were gone.

            My mom thinks the only reason the lady did it in the first place is because she didn't realize my sister was home.

              Sneak in under cover of night and scatter small pebbles in their lawn. Big enough to clang about a lawnmower, but small enough to escape visual detection.

              Then find a nice big stack of weeds (Probably up near the house, be caarreeeffuulll) and either A) nestle a fist-sized rock in there, or B)Carefully pile up a collection of smaller rocks such that if a weed-eater hits it, it'll explode.


              ....OH. LEGALLY ALLOWED advice? Uuuuhhhhhh...>.>
              Leave a note on their door suggesting they give up now before it begins raining men?



              Wait crap.
