View Full Version : I still hate my stupid neighbor...

Same guy who thinks his Explorer goes from 0-60 in 4 seconds.

About a year ago, I went to the Big Game for paintball out in Coram. I had fun. After I was done, me and my friend were in my backyard cleaning our markers (Autocockers) and gear. About a week later, I hear *pop pop pop* coming from my window. Apparently, my d-bag neighbor found it necessary to buy his own marker since I guess he thought it was cool that I got one and he had to buy one... a Tippman. Whatever. Well, I heard the *pop pop pop* every day for 3 weeks. The idiot LOVES dry firing this thing, I have no idea why. Well, last weekend, I went to the Big Game again, same thing, my frined and I cleaned up afterwards. We maybe dry fired 4 shots total to blow the water and gunk out of the markers. (My friend chopped a ball.)

Now, it's 1 week later at 10PM and this asshole is dry firing his newly upgraded e-trigger Tippy across the street to show off to the other neighbors. I wouldn't mind this except that now that he has an e-trigger, he's dry firing at 15 shots per second. This is REALLY annoying. I don't think he even plays paintball. He said that he's been playing for the past 20 years. I'm sorry, but if you've been playing paintball since its conception, you have GOT to have a better marker than a Tippy. I NEVER see him cleaning a mask or gear. I only see him dry firing his marker, his "paintball gun." No self-respecting baller calls it a gun. I really dislike this arrogant prick. He doesn't even realize that you can't carry a marker connected to air on a public street, it's illegal. Dry-firing at 10PM while everyone is resting at home isn't the brightest thing in the world to do either.

I had half a mind to walk up to him and make fun of his crappy ass marker he doesn't even know two shits about. IT RUNS OFF CO2. He talks about it like it's the most consistent thing in the world. Says it can push 1000 feet per second. Not only are those speeds unachievable, but the ball would instantly shred by being exposed to such a sudden change in motion. Hello physics. Another option would have been for me to run upstairs, get my MASK on, fill the hopper, slap the tank on and light him up. Unfortunately, my conscience STILL got the better of me and told me not to bother messing with him.

I hate his attitude, his cockiness, his abuse of his dog, and his loud-ass parties every weekend in the summer. One day, I want my revenge. I don't know how I'm going to get it, but I'll have my revenge.

Sorry dude, that definitely sucks. I had a neighbor that annoyed the crap out of me by having parties and being extraordinarily loud...every...single...night. He would usually come home from work around 9pm, nap till around 10-10:30, and then people would start coming over around 11pm. This usually lasted until 4am at least, usually until closer to 5am, and sometimes till 6. And they would talk (LOUDLY) and drink and smoke on the balcony, which was directly below me. The nanometer thick sliding glass door to my bedroom was my only sound barrier.

Now I hate being, in the words of Seinfeld, a "shusher." I used to be a shushee! But this was too much. I mean, I'm not kidding, every night! (except weekends, strangely. He must have gone out) But after 2 warnings, I decided more drastic action was needed.

The balcony where they would all stay to the wee hours was, as I said, directly under mine. It's not a solid floor balcony - instead, it consists of several wooden slats, to make a nice deck. Around 4am, while in a very foul mood, I had a brilliant idea that came oughta nowhere. I took a few cups of ice, and placed one ice cube directly above each person's head below. I then took the rest of the ice and placed those cubes elsewhere all over my deck. After a few minutes, they began to feel my wrath. Ice water slowwwly dripped down on them - drip, drip, drip! and the beauty of it was there was nowhere to hide, and it wasn't going to stop for a very long time.

Good luck my friend. Eventually genius will strike, and then you shall have your revenge. Keep us posted.

They do say that revenge is best served cold :p .

OMG. That is the most brilliant idea for revenge I have ever heard. Too bad I live in the burbs. I would have never thought of that though. It's a really good idea. My friend in college would get pissed off at the sorority on the balcony below him. So, the good, upstanding Navy boy he is, he pissed off his balcony when a wind hit the building. It wasn't pretty. I think he was tanked at the time too. But, it's revenge. :p

Call his bluff. Invite him with you in front of the other neighbors. Of course, chances are he'll find some lame excuse but at lieast he might have second thoughts of bragging in front of them again. In the off chance he accepts your invitation, then light him up. No conscience issues and he'll be put in his place hopefully.

I was about to give the same advise. Invite him to join you, and then get everyone involved to color him up. It will do everything you need done, show him how crappy his marker really is, show him that he doesnt know the game, and ease tensions that obviously exist between the two of you.
Good hunting.

Did you say he abuses his dog? Pray tell how.

Well, he has 3 dogs and like 2 cats I think. The cats pee on my car and scratch up the roof. Two of the dogs are lapdogs they're babied by his wife and daughter. It's the new rottie they got. They leave her in the backyard all alone. He has a poured cement backyard. The rottie is a guard dog I guess. I don't know what he's trying to guard, all he has is a crappy above ground pool that's covered in algae. It's disgusting. Anyway, I hear this poor dog wimpering all night. He leaves her out in the cold. The dog shits everywhere on the concrete and he doesn't clean it up at all. The smell wafts into my room. It sucks. He also yells at her a lot. I don't think he actually beats her, but the living conditions she's subject to can't be good at all.

I would be extremely annoyed and frustrated at having a neighbor like that, but I would probably end up just being passive about it as well.....unless I caught him abusing a pet. I just don't have any tolerance for that. I had a neighbor about 3 year ago who had a mixed breed that looked like it was a border collie/retriever. It was a sweet dog, but had never been trained. One day I was walking my dog in the front yard, and he let his dog out of the back yard and it came running toward me to play with my dog. The neighbor was screaming at his dog, but it didn't listen because he never spent any time training it. If finally turned around and met him about half way, and as it rolled over in that "I give up" position, he kicked it in the throat/chest area, hard. I started heading that way and yelling at him to stop it. He told me to stay out of his f'ing business and when I kept coming and got close to him, he cocked his arm back like he was going to throw a punch, and that is when I popped him in the mouth. The look on his face was priceless. I told him that if I ever saw him doing that again, I wouldn't stop with one punch, and that if he felt like getting the police involved, I would claim self defense because of his aggressive posture, and I would be happy to request that animal cruelty charges be pressed against him. I never heard from the police, and he never abused the dog again as far as I know.

word up jaguar. I respect that a lot. It's definitely tough to stand up to your neighbors because nobody likes bad neighbor blood, but sometimes it's the only way.
I guess I should tell the rest of my story from that night.

After laying the ice cubes, I decided to take a shower and then head to bed. While showering, my glee was unbounded as I thought of the devastation happening below. That is, until I heard a WHAM, WHAM, WHAM on my door. I really hadn't expected this. I had assumed the neighbor would go inside. I thought to myself, "Can I pretend like I'm not home?" No. Clearly I was home, unless ice cubes magically appeared on the balcony, and the shower happened to get left on. So I got out of the shower, and with only a towel on, opened my door. The neighbor and his girlfriend were waiting. Fortunately, wearing only a towel caught them a little off guard. Unfortunately, it also caught me a little off guard, because in that moment I thought, "What the heck am I doing??" But it was too late at that point.

They asked me if I would please stop spitting on them. I nearly lost it. With complete honesty i was able to say that I had not been spitting on them. In the end, I went down and joined their party and had a beer. Uh, after I put some clothes on, that is.

We got along a little better after that. And about a month later, when a new person that lived underneath him on the 1st floor called the cops on him, we got along a lot better, because he finally SHUT UP.

My new neighbor, incidentally, has just turned begun blasting his music. It is 9:22am. whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy????!!

also, it looks like your dog ate the last person that kicked him, jaguar. I think I'll stand back and say "nice doggy" from here, thanks.

I can't wait to have terrible neighbors so I can put my epic but fiendishly simple plan (http://www.finalhalt.com/discount-shop/discount-automotive-tools/43485.html) into action. :D

challenge him to a game of paintball sometime, and put the hammer down on him. all of the local cops around here play paintball and think they are street ninjas. well im a firefighter and several of us here on the department play so we challenged them to a game. they act like their cop training is going to benefit them on the paintball field, we play it cool, and tune up our guns for a game of wood ball.

there is nothing more satisfying than shooting a cop in the ass while he's running away as fast as he can.

several of them have been shot in the ass while running away in their proffesional lives too, but thats another story...

but needless to say, the cops dont invite us out anymore, because not only did we beat them bad, we talked lots of shit while we did it. just humiliate him if he will come play, and make sure all your neighbors know about it. if he wont, make fun of him and make sure the neighbors know about that too.

btw all the cops loved their tippmans, and tippmans SUCK. you can buy them at walmart, i dont know why anyone thinks they should evenbe considered a real paintball gun.

i have too many paintball guns too btw, anyone wanna buy one? i have an impulse for sale and if the price is right i can be talked out of my ir3 angel too lol...

if its so routine, just find a local cop and talk to him, tell him to visit your neighborhood at the time he usually does it, then bust his ass.
