Double Tap To Say



Old lady behind me yelled at me from her deck that my kids make too much noise when they jump on the trampoline at night.  Yelled back that her kids (in their early 20) make even more noise when they smoke pot on her deck at night.  That was ten years ago and we have not spoken since.

Wow.  Is BIL in an HOA community?  Normally people who crave that level of control over their neighbors move into HOA communities; the worst end up on the Board.

I wouldn't point the finger at the old bat just yet.  Wait for video evidence, hopefully from another letter being delivered.

In the meantime, BIL should stay just on the legal side of every ordinance, covenant, etc.  If "quiet hours" are from 11-7, then at 7:05 start mowing the lawn or running a chainsaw.

It also sounds like he may have some allies should the letter writer escalate into a neighbor war.

City / County noise ordinance.

Find them and then make as much noise when you legally can.

Chainsaws, loud music, open pipe two-stroke dirt bike.

I wonder if a person can get a multiple year call log to the address of the BIL's new home?

If redacted to not identify reporting party it should at least show trends for types of calls, hours of calls, and possibly if it was just a simple event logged or if a report was made.

Many of these things that officers respond to have wide latitude in officer discretion because they are usually infractions at best and more often just bull shit.    Most of the calls were likely just cleared with no action taken other than contact.

Many of the calls are probably anonymous in nature.   But it is those where the person is truly fed up that is where the reporting party requests contact.

My recent episode with neighbor barking dog had me pissed enough that I wanted contact.   I could rant over that whole situation but let's just say the officer could have cited but didnt.   I had to pull his leg and talk to him for more than 5 minutes in my drive way, with the dog barking the entire time, before I convinced him to go knock on the door and talk to that neighbor.

Low and behold after he left the dog was brought inside and the neighborhood was the most quiet it had been in months.    Was worth the call because the past 2 weeks have also been quiet at night with them doing something with "Oscar" each night around 7-8.


I have handled barking dog and loud noise complaints when I was on patrol.   You can tell the difference pretty easily between those who complain at trivial shit and those who are at witts end and have a valid complaint.  

There has to be supporting police log evidence of who the troll under the bridge is.

Occasionally, the neighbor gets a bug up his ass and wants to run his generators at 4am. We just take one of the various 2 wheeled contraptions next to the fence, take of the pipes, put some earpro on and take turns sinking it to the axle in dirt for about 15min.

He's been a pain in the dick for the last 10 years.

Use the text of the warning as transcribed in your OP.

Under it in big bold letters, add:

Obscure warnings poorly written by anonymous busybodies only cause headaches to neighbors seeking rest and refuge. Learn 8th grade spelling!

This is your only warning!

You have only one week!

Learn to spell or get out!


Print out 20-30 copies, or whatever it takes to blanket your neighborhood. Stick it on everyone's car window.

Is your house within some homeowners association community? If not, they can't fuck with you or your lifestyle. If they try, don't escalate the war. Hire a lawyer and take them to court. That will shut people up because they may not mind being obnoxious nannies, but they will mind losing money.

Look, we don't know who the complainer is at this time.  I'm thinking it is an old guy due to the cussing in the letter.  You need to set up a trap so that this person leaves another note, more evidence, etc.  Play some loud music then set up surveillance from afar.  ID your enemy then you can make plans to deal with it.

True. But these dogs are not left outside all day. They go do their business, run around for a few then go back in.
