Rottweilers and Chocolate
That’s all I need, man !
We are having MAJOR drama !
Here’s the deal.
We live on a one way street that was once a 2-way street. As is used to be a 2-way, our driveway now faces the wrong way. We live near the end of the street – there is one house to next to us before the street ends, on house across from us and one house across from our neighbor. All of us neighbors have talked and we all agree that we have no problem with any of us driving in the wrong way on the street as it is easier – particularly for J and myself – to get into our driveway. Literally, if I came in the other way it’s a VERY sharp turn and I’ve nearly been hit once already while trying to maneuver ! Anyhoo ! A couple of weeks ago we received a note taped to our front door. A hand printed note informing us that we live on a one-way street and that we’re endangering the lives of the pets and children of the neighborhood by driving the way we do in going in the wrong way. J rarely goes in that way so I know they’re pinpointing me. Anyway, J got all annoyed and went next door to vent to our neighbor who received nasty notes in her mailbox in the past (the moron who wrote it was complaining that she shouldn’t be cleaning up her yard !). Well, for about a week or so now I’ve been coming home the other way because traffic is easier if I take the next exit off the highway and that lands me on the hard road to get into the driveway. J drove all weekend except for last night. I was coming home from CT and it was around 10:30pm. We live in the WOODS with LOTS of deer so I ALWAYS take it slowly – particularly at night. I came in the wrong way – there was NO ONE on the street. Went in and that was that. This morning as I was ready to leave I was hit with ANOTHER NOTE ! This one TAPED to our window ! We have our front door and two long windows on either side of that door. The note was taped to one of those windows facing in ! ! ! ! ! And this one was nastier than the last one. NOW I’m being accused of “tearing” through the streets of our neighborhood and apparently I’m a deadly threat to pets and children alike ! ! ! ! ! ! (though, if your pets or children are in the streets at 10:30pm then there’s a whole other problem going on that isn’t MINE ! ! ! !) I’ve been just a BIT freaked out ever since ! Particularly seeing as how we live on top of a LARGE hill – so this person has now trapsed up our very steep driveway not once but twice and they’re now getting bolder ! ! ! How frickin CREEPY is all of this?!?!?!??!?!
WHO THE FUCK DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!!??!?!?!?!?
This is like SCARING me at this point ! That someone in our neighborhood thinks they have the RIGHT to come onto our PRIVATE property and harass us like this ! And the fact that they’d do this with US HOME ! ! ! ! ! ! ! And what a frickin coward ! If you have a problem with us then COME TALK TO US about it ! Don’t go sneaking around, taping notes to our doors and windows ! ! ! ! ! !
I seriously want to go to the pound TODAY and get the biggest dog I can find ! ! ! !
The fact that I’m PMSing isn’t helping one bit either !
In trying to get to work this morning after this incident I got on the wrong highway, screwed up getting off of it and back on track and nearly got into an accident. I’m COMPLETELY not focused ! When I got to work – finally – I headed straight for the vending machines for some p-nut m&ms and a coke. Not helping much, but it is a little, though now my stomach’s totally shredded.
The anger hasn’t happened yet – the shock and concern are still too prevalent. Once they wear off the anger will kick in and then WATCH OUT !
J and I talked a little bit ago and I told him how freaked out I am.
He said that he’s going to file a complaint tonight and that he has a call into a local cop friend of ours. We also are discussing getting a camera for the front of our house and our driveway. We want to CATCH this SOB in the act. I told him I want a “Private Property No Trespassing” sign for the yard and a great big dog.
I think tonight I’m going to stop by to visit my neighbor who’s had notes in the past. I want to ask if she’s kept those notes and, if so, if I could see them. I want to see if the handwriting is the same.
J is FIRED up – he’s not even scared or freaked out – just VERY angry.
As he said “Once we find the person responsible for this, god help ‘em because they WILL be sorry.”
At least it’s nearly lunch time.
I can run out for a little bit and find a new pair of sunglasses and get some fresh air.
My head’s COMPLETELY up my butt today because of all of this. I wish it didn’t effect me so much, but it totally does. I just cannot believe the audacity of some people ! Some of my co-workers have offered up some suggestions (like researching why the street is one-way because maybe it’s this person who put that through and seems to think they’re now the police of that intersection) as well as helpful information (like that if this person has kids and is a coach of any team they’ll prints will be in the system – NJ state law !).
So, I’ll gather up the info and hopefully we’ll have the chance to talk to our cop friend tonight about this and see what we can do.

I agree, what a coward. If this person can't sign their name they are not worth being taken seriously. I would post a note where they've been posting the notes that says something to the fact that you're taking legal action and they had better talk to you directly or leave you alone. I'd make a hint about cameras in the note and see if it stops.
Neighbors suck. Good luck.
