Re: what to do about my neighbor
I have one of these type people in my neighborhood too. He is in real estate and built two of the 14 or so houses in my neighborhood. His hous sits at the end of the cul-de-sac, up on the hill and he thinks he's the king of his little domain. This guy was a professional Taekwondo instructor in his early twenties and apparently got injured in competition. He's in a wheelchair now (motorized) paralyzed from the waist down, and his left arm is a bit messed up.
I have never spoken a word to him. Never. But, when I cut grass, he comes out to watch and make sure I don't get over the property line. Every time I leave, or come home .. he's watching out the window with his binoculars. My wife is Taiwanese and he called the cops on the 'Mexican' girl outside steeling cable from the cable box.. When she was on the phone with Charter troubleshooting the TV connection.
My point is, it seems every neighborhood has one of these guys.. I'm just the type of person who kills them with kindness. When I come home from work, I wave to him just to let him know I see him looking out the window. When he watches me cut grass, I want to ask him if he'd like for me to cut his too. .. but I just wave
It's just a big time Inferiority complex. Some people are just that way man, nothing better to do than to nose into your business. Unless he has video of you, it's basically his word against yours. You can pi55 him off MORE by just being nice to him plus it won't give him a reason to have anything to hold against you. Just idle by his house, wave when you see him outside, etc. He'll be like .. WTH ?
It's a small smoldering ember, if you pour gas on it it gets worse. Pour water on it, .. it goes away. Your call. Good luck man.
