Legal advice regarding neighbour and shite cars.

[Noel Tidybeard]

I'm not going to retaliate in any sort of way, I'm a peaceful person I just can't understand why he's such an arsehole.

Apparently he claimed I was also "Running a website for his shit banger car business".

why on earth would anyone want one of those^^^

[RobT]

Weirdly he cuts his grass about 3 times a day and that's not an exaggeration.

 

So he's retired then I take it?  Obviously has too much time on his hands.  Some people do good things and keep busy when retired, others just like to moan.  Got a few of them where I live.  One old bastard who's the chairman of the committee of our flats likes to root around in the big bins to see what people are throwing away, and has painted 'Household Waste Only' on the side of each.  I used to chuck random bits of car in there to keep him on his toes, such as old car mats and broken bits of BL trim/switchgear, but have stopped that as don't want him pointing the finger.  It pays to be careful with people like that, but by the same token it's also important to just get on with your life and sod 'em!

[Ratdat]

When I had a few* cars parked in the field behind my place someone complained to the council and a planning officer came round... and I don't even have any fuggin neigbours! 

[derskine]

He's not retired, he owns a garage in the town, a shit one at that, I personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

Don't understand people who are like this, what's the point?

[Junkman]

I'll be certainly one of the latter, but not against my neighbors or such stuff.

To obtain an injunction to shut down Manchester Airport for a few days would be much more fun.

 

Don't understand people who are like this, what's the point?

 

Because they can.

[Guest Breadvan72]

You have no obligation to prove anything. Be polite but firm. Do not engage in tit for tat counter moves.

[Cavcraft]

If he's cutting his grass three times a day it's because he's a sad nosey fucker with nothing else left in life to do.

[oman5]

a nice, big bag of table salt scattered liberally on his lawn. non violent and no way to prove it was you, and nothing will grow there again. hahahahaha.

[Parky]

Best advice would be to keep calm and carry on. The fact is he sounds like the sort of bloke who would report you to the authorities for having friends over for a barbecue, shopping in Asda instead of Waitrose, and cheering if your football team scores.

 

He obviously has issues and his intolerance of other people's behaviour is just a symptom of his own narrow minded view of life. That is very much not your problem. Buy him a bottle of scotch to show no hard feelings, achieve the moral high ground, and proceed to do whatever the fuck you want on your property as long as it remains within the law.....

[saucedoctor]

What Breadvan said.

 

As you may know, a similar thing happened to me. Two council bods came round, put it to me that I was running a business, I said no and that was that. Never heard owt more about it.

[garbaldy]

He's not retired, he owns a garage in the town, a shit one at that, I personally wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

That why he's miffed at you because even though you are not running a buisness you are still busier than his.

[andy18s]

he has a garage you say?

where?

[Mr Lobster]

You have his name and his address. Just sign him up for a load of free samples of Tenna Lady and that sort of shiz.

[Cavcraft]

I'm a peaceful person

 

That's fighting talk where I come from.

[TRW]

Draw Stormfront.org type shit on his lawn with bleach in a fairy liquid bottle.

 

Along with a spunking cock, like Mr B said.

[Pillock]

Which garage is his? Wouldn't it be awful if he kept getting bookings promising plenty of work that mysteriously never show up? I wonder if he disposes of used oil properly? Etc etc

[Angrydicky]

Guy sounds like a dick. I've got all this still to come when I get a place of my own and fill the driveway with tat.

[purplebargeken]

Lets all go round to his place. Park up and put for sale signs in the windows of our autoshitiest cars and walk round pretending to buy each others cars. Hopefully his head might explode in sheer frustration. 

[Forty-two]

If said neighbour is being a pest, keep a diary with date and time and notes of any interactions and any comments said. It is evidence of harassment and will save you so much time if it starts to get ugly.

 

On a lighter note, not heard of cress seeds on a lawn before. May have to try that out on mine to see if it works!

[Lankytim]

Order a tanker full of raw sewerage and pump it through his letterbox, proceed to fill his house to the rafters with shit, piss and used tampons e.t.c. This will kill him, his wife and his terrier. Only then will he learn.

[Timewaster]

That's fighting talk where I come from.

Yes. But so is "good morning"

[Parky]

What's more once the house has been emptied of shit and the bodies recovered, the council might demolish the house and replace it with a memorial garden that you can stash your heaps in!

[New POD]

It's not weedkiller you should use, but grass fertiliser.  Some one did that to my neighbour (old enough he was a really nice bloke) and he had a bright green knob on the middle of his lawn.

[sporty-shite]

A guy I know used to work for the council doing these investigations. Ha told me they never even bagged the ones who were running a business, never mind the hobby fettlers, and that they never even tried unless it was a total pisstake.

 

Fuck him. Just keep doing what you do, because it's obviously pissing him off.

[Jim Bell]

Tell me more about shit banger car business. I am here to learn it.

[fordperv]

You get people like this everywhere, my neighbors jobless daughter who's in her 20s complained to our local authority telling them I was revving a kitcar at 5.30 in the morning creating lots of noise, wtf??? it was 2.30 in the afternoon running the mrs car at 2500rpm to "run" a cam in, so as a reply to this seeing their back door was open and she was in the garden, I removed the exhaust from my mk1 Sierra leaving just the 4 branch on, I spoke loudly to the mrs saying if people wanna moan about stuff that's untrue I may as well do stuff like this and revved it up for a short while, funny enough I didn't have any bother after that.

 

Childish I know but it made me feel good

[Mr Lobster]

Just go and hammer frozen sausages in his lawn or something [/pistonheads]

[cobblers]

The bloke who painted my van has been painting cars (in 2k paint!) from the garage behind his terraced house for 20 years. Despite having dozens of cars parked all up and down the street, and daily deliveries of paint from autosupplies, Rotherham council haven't managed to shut him down yet. Only the taxman has managed to do him. The electric board are suspicious but haven't put two and two together yet despite him running 10kw of halogen heaters every day.  You'll be right!

[Cavcraft]

Don't forget, it's the internet so you absolutely HAVE to suggest an action you wouldn't actually carry out yourself in a million years. These great* ideas usually start with 'If I was you, I'd....' and then proceed to suggest extreme levels of violence and stupidity. All from some spotty 17 year old knob warbler who's scared of his own shadow.

[Jim Bell]

If I was you, I'd roll my eyes and get on with life.

But secretly hope he dies in a house fire.
