my neighbor is a jerk, should I retaliate? Called cops on me for nonsense, yet she is going to be sorry or should I?

We opened our pool today, 16x32 and our driveway is right next to our neighbor's backyard. So we drug our pool cover over to her grassy area instead of getting it dirty by trying to fold it in the gravel drive.

It was wet as we had rinsed it off, so I couldn't fold it up wet for mold/smelly I didn't want. It was only going to take FIVE minutes with the wind drying it spread out flat.

I tolerate my neighbor, as she has 4 dogs, who bark constantly when she lets them out in her run, for years now. We dont speak as about 3 yrs ago I had words w her about the noise and that she is only allowed THREE dogs in the city here, she should consider moving to the country if she wants so many dogs. (Didnt help a bit, grrrr).

She has no side yard, so she drives her riding lawn mower up my drive to get to her front yard...as her small tree is in her way to stay on her own property to get it to the front yard.

Today she and her adult kids open her back door and yell, cuss at us because of us drying this cover in her grass. Cussing she is going to call the cops, we are trespassing -I tell her it is only for 5 mins, and hey she drives up on my property all the time, and if she calls the cops, I will tell them about her 4 dogs, barking all the time!

She calls them anyway. (Cop didnt read me riot act)
Now I am going to put a fence down beside the driveway so she will stay off it, need to cut that small tree to get mower to her front yard.

The noise is really bad whenever we have company in our backyard from her 4 dogs barking all the time.

Question is, should I also report to the city about her extra dog (will help w the barking noise, grrr) but will also show her, you only get back as good as you give..not going to let someone walk on me like that...but would feel bad, her needing to give up a dog (but rules are rules).

What is it you would do??

Probly the best answer, however, if she were a "good" person, she would make her dogs listen and not sit on her butt and holler shut up a dozen times from inside. Not near acting like a good neighbor or doing the Golden rule.

I will tape the dogs however, if they bark for 45 min straight (and they do whenever) I will call the cops, cop said to, they will come over and make her take them in. He suggested calling the warden to report added dog, which I am not doing - at least not now.

But I wouldnt to her and hers as she has done to us, peace is a wonderful thing!

She started off wrong cussing at three people standing around a flat pool cover, not asking what the hell?

But oh well, she is the looser -will need to cut down a small tree to get her mower in front yard. If even it
will fit.

But I have generally found all fog owners to be idiots.

You should not have used her lawn without permission. But she has no right to disturb the peace with her dogs. Barking dogs are the worst. There should be stronger laws concerning that noise. I"d do whatever it takes to stop the barking, if that involves reporting her to the city, so be it. I have no patience with barking dogs.

Humans with a soul learn to tone out the glorious sounds of a dog being vocal. I would rather listen to ten barking dogs than read your tripe about wanting the government to pass another asinine law.

bwahahahaahahahahahaha fcking brilliant man, lololololol.

Stay off of her property, put up a fence, don't rat about the dogs and consider moving. She may get worse after the fence.

What is it you would do??

buy some spare microwaves and spare satellite dishes.... no proof, she won't even know what happened

Green for you!

Walk over there and apologize. Be the bigger person.Then, when shes sleeping, throw the roundup ice cubes on her lawn.

OP, you didn't have the right to use any part of her property for any reason.

Ask to use her property next time.

Did it fly over your head that she does the same thing?

You should really watch a few episodes from Fear Thy Neighbor. Neighbors always start off with petty arguments about property lines or dog issues ect and one thing leads to another getting revenge and aggravating the other one more until eventually, one kills the other. It's scary how much this happens. I would try to keep the peace as much as possible if you plan to live their long term. I see her being more in the wrong but, is it really worth all the drama of getting even?

youre an asshole op who obviously doesnt care for animals

you shld hv asked for permission....they had no idea how long it wld take to dry and you just doing it was extremely passive aggressive....you escalated the situation before you even did anything with the pool cover

if you dont want neighbors and noise then MOVE where you dont hv them

essentially you want animal control to take one of her pets and kill one of the dogs or all of them for YOUR convenience

KY instead
