My Neighbor Makes Me Crazy

I totally flip out on her and scare the mess out of her. Act crazier that the crazy person and she'll leave you alone. I can't stand folks who crave attention. Peace.

That is so sad. If it were me I woulad have called the cops and got help with getting her to leave you two alone. I hope that things are under control by niw and the two of you get to enjoy your pool.

Oh and one more thing that I didn't think of, if she pulls the "It's a free country" excuse my advice is best comeback to that "yes, it's a free country but harassment is both a finable and arrestable offense." (depending on your states laws, and severity of the harassment, first offenses probably will be warnings, continued calls will be fines for who the police side with, and she'd have to provide proof to the cops of her claims)

I like most the responses here about give her a taste of her own medicine but I have a parent who was a drama queen who goes out of her way to be the victim, it sounds like she's goating you I would do as many have said get a lawyer and survey the property and see if there is any of her property that you actually own... then without causing a scene go over to her property and provide her a copy of the correctly survey'd proof and let her know she should have that for her reccords in the future make sure you have a witness with you and leave, be polite and don't go down to her level... if she doesn't realize her little game is up then you can file harasment

THE REVERSAL: if you actually own part of her property you can respond in kind, you'd probably not be very surprised to learn how many people claim "I own most your property" when their own property is majority owned by those who they harass, see how much of hers you own... if it covers a section of the house, speak with somebody in property management in your local city government offices and see if you'd be able to sell the land on her side of the fence that is hers, offer a what you deem fair amount for her property to her, if she doesn't buy out right away start making alterations to her property like planting annoyingly bright flowers that are known allergy irritators, if she removes them contact your local police department have them take a statement from you both and go after her for destruction of property, make sure if it comes down to suing in court that your lawyer and judge both know you offered a fair price and sought to provide her the oppertunity to buy what land is on her side of the fense that you own.

good luck dealing with her, just make sure at all times when you argue with her you have a witness and request her proof of her claims every time until she has proof of this, politely request she remove herself from your property

I feel your pain! Here I am in bed crying to myself cause I'm holding in all this frustration and sadness! I feel like a prisoner in my own home! I hate my neighbor! She is an 80 year old woman who lives alone and gets her kicks on verbally harassing me! She even has flipped off my 8 year old daughter! When I reported it to the police, they agreed with me that she is mentally ill and she belongs in a home but it is a free country and freedom of speech gives her the right to yell whatever she wants to me, my husband and our daughter! I don't go outside in the back yard cause we have a chain link fence and we have no privacy! I hate going outside and it makes me sooooo sad:-(.......I don't know what to do! I'm so sad and so tired of living like this!

have your lawyer give her the correct info of the property that belongs to you video tape her harrasing you take it to court and the judge will fix her for good live your life dont let her stop you from enjoying your property put survailance on your property that will keep her from destroying any of your belongings.

First of all, don't apologize for venting. That's what we're here for! Secondly, read my post about my awful neighbor. I think you may be able to relate. I totally pictured my neighbor when I read your story. I'm so sorry you feel invaded and harassed. I can relate.

I would file harassment charges!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We currently casting a new TV special for a major cable network. We are looking for neighbors who need to resolve any conflicts they are having. The issues will be resolved there mediation. This new one hour special is a good-hearted, warm documentary where a mediator will come in to help resolve the issues at hand making the neighborhood a more positive place for everyone. Think on the lines of "Intervention."



We are casting in the surrounding Los Angeles areas but ALL are encouraged to apply. This is a great opportunity for the right families. Those chosen to participate will be compensated for their time!!!

How did your ordeals end? Or is it over yet? I am in similar situation, and this woman is harassing my mother and I verbally and physically. I only see her occasionally due to my busy schedule, and the down side to that is frequency is too far apart spread for police to take it seriously. I don't know if I have to be shot before this psycho gets checked into a mental health facility

ya neighbors suck ,I have white trash that live next door to me,the kids are in there 30s never leave the house ,the mothers on some kind of prozak or something ,they have a cape and 15 people all with cars parking all over the block,partying till 4am in the morning,no respect for themselves or any neighbors

Also, remember to keep a log or record of Lil Miss Landowner's behavior--video cameras might help! Hopefully she'll fall off a ladder while doing windows and break her neck

If you have proof that the land is indeed yours by via attorney---tell this hag next time she pops out of her house that you are calling the police (have you done this?) and filing harrassment charges. That if she continues to act like she is on Meds, you will keep filing charges until the County steps in to take her off to Happy Acres Mental Hospice. Enough is Enough! Unfortunately you may have to watch your back but use your land! Use your pool! This women is a insane bully and NEEDS to be shoved to the ground!

Either:

1 Call the police every time she yells at you.

2 Keep a video camera handy and record these crazy rants, then submit them to the police.

3 Keep the garden hose on and spray her like a naughty cat every time she opens her mouth.

I'd suggest the next time she comes over blabbing her ugly mouth.. You have to fight fire with fire. Call the cops every time she harasses you. This will establish a good paper trail of complaints. You live in a society that loves law suits.. Once you have established a good heap of complaints, get in touch with your lawyer and file grievance, stress, loss of work.. just milk it for all its worth and sue her for it. When she sees the mud hole she stepped in, she might feel less huffy puffy like the marsh mellow man on crack, I presume shes a crazy lady. You need to get mad and fire back.. people tend to pipe it down quite a bit when they are faced with losing money over stupidity.

Don't feel bad Im in a similiar situation. I have a neighbor that has nothing better to do then to ask my family stupid questions constantly when I'm not around.

To quote Hunter S. Thompson, "I've found the American dream and the dream is a nightmare."



Owning a house is something I wish I'd never gotten myself into.

It is my understanding there cannot be a sale of property without a proper survey of the land involved duly plotted and recorded with the proper authorities.



If the land at one time was hers and was consequently sold without a survey it is assumed that she made no claim. When it was resold to you are the legal owner. I am amazed that you have not contacted your real estate agent regarding her assertions. It was their responsibility to assure a clean transaction.



Contested property lines must be settled before the final closing on the property . If she had a claim to that property at one time and did not defend it then she is simply out of luck.



If she continues to make your life a living hell the authorities must be made aware of her behavior. I would suggest that if a camcorder is available when these occurrences happen, record them as concrete proof for a possible court action.



One does not have to live in this situation you describe and the woman is obviously mental ill and could be possibly dangerous. I personally would not tolerate this wnd submit the issue first to to the police claining harrasment and then take the issue to the courts.

I went to the county and township and the property is indeed ours as well as on the deed (filed with the county) she is insane and has no proof. The worst isn't losing the land but the harassment.

I would go look at the public information on the County or city site before I paid a lawyer.

Also it should have been a realestate persons duty to disclose anything like this. If in fact she is right then get a lawyer and sue the realestate person that sold the place and also the previous owner. good luck

get a restraining order
