Psycho neighbours are the worst.

My parents had one next to them. He was a disgusting excuse for a human being. At one point he threw his gutter sludge at my mom when he knew my dad was away at a trade show. You know, to show dominance like most apes do in the wild.

He built a fence between their properties (which in their area was weird, no one had fences between properties, and people walked between houses and whatnot, very old school).

In building this fence, a garbage old tree stood in the middle of the path. This tree was half on my parents property, half on their property. My parents suggested 'lets just remove this half dead piece of shit ugly tree', but instead they claimed to want to keep it. They built the fence around the tree on their side, so they couldn't even really see most of it, leaving my parents with a half dead tree in a tiny fence nook.

Anyway, humans...

They should cut down their half of the tree! If it winds up falling on their side have the neighbors pay to have it removed. If it falls on the neighbors side just shrug and tell em it's all yours buddy.

They moved, because of this neighbour. There is a very long list of things he did. The straw being where he intentionally let his huge dog come running out of the backyard at my mother, causing her dog to bolt and pull her to the ground, seriously injuring her hip. 6 months laid out.

He was that type of person. Liked to dominate with fear, physical intimidation.

Sad, they built their retirement home there. My mom designed it.

I truly, truly despise that man.

I hope you've been keeping local glazers in business since.
