I couldn't counter blast as the neighbours on the other side have a new baby and I didn't want to wake it.

I have planned my revenge, I will do it later this afternoon so they know it wasn't merely an oversight on my part

It's always the ones in Docker shorts and jerusalem cruisers you have to watch for - I knew problem brewing when all the lil hatchbacks appeared.

Sure don't miss my old redneck neighbour. Blasting out tunes, bass cranked to max well past midnight, but before the sun went down he'd be cruising his yard on his ride'em mower, phone in one hand, beer in the other.

An idiot moved into my area about 2 months ago. His (her) car alarm goes off 4x daily, minimum. Often at 2 am.

Why wouldn’t this fool fix the problem with his car-horn honking alarm?

I’m hoping the clown reads Castanet

Dude isn't a red neck, they appear rich and he likes himself
Was such a success!!!!! I placed my garbage bin on his side of the fence, when he saw it outraged he moved it back to my property
I had the great pleasure to inform him where I had placed my bin was my property - when I built the fence I built it on my property, so nice I left extra space for whoever lived there to have a place to put the snow when they shoveled

Well that calmed him down :) He asked how long I planned to leave it there, I asked if it annoyed him, Ha He said yea a bit, I said uhhuh, like hearing same songs blaring at 12:30.
As I walked away I said " It's about balance. I'll move it today before he has to go to the trouble to screen it - I am not a dik

Gosh, that’s a great system for catching his attention when there’s an issue to discuss. Just park the garbage can at property line. Brilliant

On hold for 3+ hours waiting to talk to an RBC rep (with the inevitable accent), attempting to discover why I don't have a significant refund.

Before that, emailing back and forth with VRBO asking why they haven't refunded my cancelled reservation. Almost getting nasty.

Only to find out the bank has had my refund for 12 days and counting but still haven't posted it. I'm almost maxed out and need it posted. :cuss: ing bank.

Krap!

I thought you were smart enough by now to drop Banks…go to credit union?

They bend-over just to please their customers. Seriously.

Fair enough. So rarely do I leave my burrow that collecting fly-points seems pointless.
