Reply #4: I had yuppie neighbors calling the City all the time a few years ago.

I guess we're just not white enough for the yuppie neighbors with their cushy jobs and perfect houses and perfect children.

Some guy in a white City car with "NEIGHBORHOOD PROTECTION" written on the side would come out and hassle me. What a creepy name.

One time, I had "sticks in my yard". I didn't know that having sticks in your yard was illegal. I couldn't find it anywhere in the city statutes online.

Another time, I had "poison ivy on my back fence". How would the people next door be able to find out what was growing on my back fence? I told the City inspector guy I didn't know what poison ivy looked like, and he admitted he didn't either. :wtf:

Another time they griped about the non-working car in the driveway, but it was NOT disassembled. Had to shove it in the garage to hide it.

Another time I lit a tiki torch in the back yard, away from the house, and the folks across the street saw it and called the fire department. I did not know that lighting a tiki torch in your own backyard was illegal. I put it out immediately.

The wife marched up the driveway once (she's about six feet tall and intimidating) and started yelling at us for washing our OWN car on our OWN grass, our OWN property, next to our fence, so the water would drain into the grass instead of standing on the driveway. She said "It makes the neighborhood LOOK BAD."

I'm waiting for them to bust us for driving old cars (Older than five years is probably repulsive to them).

I think they're mad because we live in an older subdivision that does NOT have those ridiculous deed restrictions & neighborhood nazis in homeowners' associations, like what color you can paint your house, but they wish they lived in one of those so they could lord it over us.



They did this all the time.



Then they had twins and stopped hassling us.
