Crazy or annoying neighbor story

We decided to replace our original windows (which were horrible) and found that the wood around the windows was rotted (most of the homes were brick, just the area around the front windows had wood). My H was on the HOA board so we talked to them and replaced the wood with siding in an approved color by the board. We had emails to prove approval and color was extremely close but not exact.

Well, the crazy guy threw a fit. The "color change" affected the whole neighborhood. He decided that he was going sue us and the HOA board over this change. So...he was going to pay for his OWN lawyers, and also (through HOA payments) pay for the HOA lawyers as well. It was ridiculous. Everyone else was like, your house looks so much better.

Eventually he dropped it. But he had his "those people are trying to take over" moments (directed at our lovely, sweet Middle Eastern neighbors). Our president at one point was an awesome Jewish guy with an Asian wife...they eventually sold and left due to this guy. I can't say it wasn't a factor when we sold, since my H isn't white.

The funny thing is after we left, he complained to the county about the mailboxes in an open space that would occasionally flood. Fix it! he said. WELL. The mailboxes didn't have a permit to be where they were so the county moved them to a much less inconvenient spot outside the community. Thanks, crazy guy! Sometimes these kind of people create MORE problems than less.[/quote]

The complainers don't know when to stop, it seems.


These sorts of people ALWAYS create more trouble; they never abate it.

Outside that screen for five feet is a row of bushes, on our property (you can’t have a screen enclosure closer than that.) Back house goes up for sale and real estate agent mulches our back bushes to match the mulch in the other house. I called and asked what the what, don’t do that, it gives the impression their property line goes all the way to the screen. She apologized and then these psychotic people moved in. This row of bushes (which gives us privacy) became his hill to die on. But if you dropped a blade of grass, or placed one foot over his property line he would literally lose it. Our landscaping company was doing annual spray treatment and he came out with a knife threatening him. He’s threatened to shoot us. It’s surreal.



I think I know this neighborhood and this guy. One of my friends moved from someone who meets this description and thinks of himself as a "pillar of the community". It is amazing that you still live there, though I suppose you can't let the terrorists win, so good on you.


I think I know who this person is, too. It's always the crazies that think of themselves as such.

Neighbor smoking weed every weekend is also making us consider moving back to somewhere sane.
