  • my sister's new neighbour is a psycho.

    before we start the story my sister has already called the landlord and is talking to the post office today.


    My sister who is a TA at a good university and also works during the summer at a pool and spa store, lives in a house that is divided into 3 apartments. One above her and one in the back of the house as well as hers. There is a shared porch between her and the apartment above her. The previous neighbour was not a little annoying but not enough that my sister wanted to make a big deal out of it knowing it could be worse. The main issue with the old neighbour was she would use the porch as a dumping ground for garbage and recycling. When she moved out a friend of hers moved in and was supposed to be responsible for getting rid of the stuff on the porch which was all garbage. After a month my sister finally cleaned up the porch and through out all the stuff, which was clearly garbage.

    My sister has met her neighbour 3 times total for the last couple months she's lived there. The first meeting was brief where neighbour met my sister and her boyfriend. Second meeting the neighbour was drunk and her 10 year old daughter had to physically pick her up. The third meeting was last night.

    The neighbour came downstairs on the porch and starting stomping and swearing for no reason my sister went out onto the porch and said, you know I can hear you right?

    The neighbour said she want my sister to hear and then proceeded to pick a fight with my sister.

    I'll summarize: called my sister a bitch, a whore, a loser, has no friends, an alcoholic, smelly, a loser, stupid, repeatedly. none of which is true.

    said my sister was always loud in her apartment (she never complained until the night before this) and said if she was loud again she would pound on her door and on her face.

    Claims to know everything about my sister because she's friends with the old neighbour and said my sister had lived there for 10 years (she's only been there for 4).

    at one point she said "you thought *old neighbour* was bad well I'm a nightmare"

    During the conversation to help prove my sister was loser accused her of failing to make it into lawschool. (my sister decided to postpone until next year and hadn't even taken the lsat yet so was getting a refund cheque for the lsat fee) how did she know about this you ask? well my sister got mailed the refund cheque and new neighbour told her she took the cheque and sent it back. and to know what it was she had to have opened it too.

    This apparently went on for a while all the while the neighbour was trying to be intimidating, here's the thing my sister for the wonderful smart beautiful woman she is bigger than her and takes tai kwan do, my sister is not scared easily and would take most people apart.

    Also despite "knowing everything about my sister" neighbour was shocked to learn my sister had a job let alone 2.

    She also threatened to call the humane society because my sister's apartment smells and she lives in filth. (the only possible smell is from my sister's cats's kitty litter but she cleans that and the neighbour has cats herself.)

    Oh yeah she also called my sister a whore.

    So in summary my sister's new neighbour is a psycho who threatened my sister and committed a federal offense.

    And I didn't even list everything she said. I'll update if I hear more. but like I said she already called the landlord (who says the porch is cleaner than ever thanks to my sister) and is talking to the post office today to see what she can do about the letter.

    Before anybody talks law or post office we are in Canada, feel free to offer advice but it may not be applicable.

    no she said she sent the checque back. I don't know how true that is but she at least opened it to know what it was.

      Man, I had a psycho living next door to me for a while. It was the Shitbird Next Door's wife.

      Of course, she'd have had to be a psycho to be married to that guy. She told me I was a "stupid bitch" once and I reminded her that maybe someone who regularly fucked (the Shitbird) was in a weak position to be calling anyone else "stupid."

      Thank God they moved away. It's not fun living next door to irrational and unreasonable people.

      EDIT: Hmm...maybe that's why Shitbird and psycho moved away.

        Apparently this woman mistook your sister for a mirror.

          Do they share a mailbox or is it separate?

            I would also recommend asking if you can have it sent via certified mail if you don't have your own box as of yet.

              I definitely second the idea of a rental mailbox. Even if this woman gets a visit by somebody "official" there's no guarantee she won't see that as an excuse to escalate things, and she's already admitted to tampering with your sister's mail at least once.

                I am not familiar with the postal law in Canada but I would assume that they are somewhat similiar to the US. Meaning that if someone obtains a piece of mail that is NOT intended for them AND opens it they are breaking postal law.

                the sucky neighbor openly admits to doing this. I second contacting the Canadian postal system and see what they can do within the postal law.

                    I'm whatevering the P.O. Box suggestion too. I got tired of dealing with the carrier we had and the fact that the local office just didn't care we were having problems, as well as discovering that things weren't showing up when they should have.

                    Since we've gotten our P.O. Box, everything has been arriving as it should. It might take a bit longer for things that have to be forwarded, but it gets there.

                    DDD: Cuz it's cool

                    So, by using the Doctor's reasoning, bow ties, fezzes and bandanas are cool.

                      and i wonder if the police can do anything about the other threats?

                      the threats of noise and purposefully going to do their best to make her life hell?

                        she did give a statement to the police actually but told them to let the landlord handle it for now rather than risk setting her neighbour off again. The policeman agreed it probably was a good idea.


                        No idea if it was her but when my sister took her plants off the porch because we're getting cold weather she noticed some damage to them. Her Ivy plant had been ripped out and stuck back in and one of her flowers had it's stem snapped.

                          I'd recommend she keep her personal belongings inside her lockable parts of the house.

                          it's sad she has to do it but... it's obvious the bitch is going to be doing whatever she can to make things worse,

                          I recommend she has absolutely no contact with her whatsoever and goes through the landlady instead. and to also make sure she herself does nothing bad... cos the bitch will probably jump on that like shit hitting toilet water.


                          basically ... make it clear that the neighbor is the problem and that she is completely innocent.

                            I recommend a small wireless camera. Those things can be incredibly tiny, and you can mount them just about anywhere. If the neighbor's going to be comitting vandalism and the like in a public place, then she deserves to be filmed doing it.

                              that may depend on where you place the camera..... if you put it in a common area, like the porch for example, the other neighbors may have legal rights against being filmed against their will on their own property.

                              it may be best to keep the camera inside and aim it outside - that way it's entirely on the sister's own personal property.
