Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire How would you handle these A-holes?

I would think the cost would go to the complainant if it isn't a valid complaint. Since there isn't a noise violation (and presumably no firearms violation) and you weren't the one who called them out, you shouldn't have to pay. I think they would have a hard time making that stick.

I hope that is correct. Everyone and their brother is building 2nd homes in "my" little part of the world. The property values have gotten so high that the people that are from here have to travel to see their grandkids... because their kids couldn't afford a starter home in the area. There is a real culture clash between the country club 2nd home set and those of us still working to make a living here.

stetson,

I can see you're clearly in the 2 wrongs make a right so long as you're the second wrongdoer and not the first. Coming from the educated man you say I am...that don't make sense. But you're entitled to your opinions.

I can absolutely say that I have taken responsibility for my part in it, I wont retaliate, but I damn sure wont apologize either. That bridge got burned with the form of retaliation perpetrated on me.

Some points I see that need clearing up here. It was not my dogs poop returned to me...it was another dogs...obvious from size. The rake incident has nothing to do with the poop. It matters not if they are one in the same person.

I have gotten the message, said here in plain english I was wrong, and I wont retaliate...now I have to read about how any way I get treated is ok...but my assholish (actually just lapse in judgment, not intended to cause any harm, and most importantly didn't cause any harm) is unforgivable. I disagree.

Deleted my post - Since other dogs in the neighborhood roam, this is starting to turn into a whole lotta s##t about a little poop, or a little poop about a whole lotta s##t, DON'T KNOW WHICH.

I'm sure I have no idea what you mean but Your really breaking my heart with the story about the attorney that gets shi* on.

geesh...someones dog "gifts" a neighbor with a present. The neighbor returns said "gift" because they do not accept "gifts " from strangers. So what is the problem?? Did your feelings get hurt because they did not like the "gift"??

.280Rem;
I'm going to make a note to myself to read more of your posts...since I don't have time to watch Opra and Dr. Phil.

I understand your feelings. I don't like people like that either. In fact I dislike them almost as much as people who own big assed dogs, disobey leash laws, and let them zhit in my yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I have a neighbor that has a really big dog
that craps in my yard every now and then.
It's a very big dog and the turds are big enough
to stall my lawnmower. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />
No sympathy here...

Ergo the Romper Stompers, tis just like Romper Room.....

Pretty cool what you can do, and how you can make someone look by picking and choosing the words you choose to quote isn't it?

Isn't it really just "Re-Gifting"?..... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

it ain't the quotes.............

One of your best posts...Truly...
Bart

OK- I'm skipping the last dozen or so posts.

.280 - an underground yard containment system is relatively cheap (I fenced in my 1.5 acres for about $350), quickly installed, very effective, and portable. For $300 bucks or so ( An hour's salary for you, 2 days for me), you have not only solved your "problem", your neighbor's problem, but more importantly, the safety of your dog.

These systems can be expanded considerably, merely by adding wire, when you move. The biggest problem is remembering to put the danged collar on, but after awhile (2 years or so) the dog would rather stay in the yard than have to wear the collar. Every so often they'll start straying and have to wear the collar awhile, again.

Check it out.

Your pride/ego is getting in the way- what matters is not the chickchit of others, but of yourself. Get over it.

.280Rem...
Never was one to join in a pack biting on another that seems vulnerable...

I saw that you knew what was the best approach early-on in this thread and tho it won't affect me personally..have confidence you are a man who'll do the right things well. ......

and I know that you certainly didn't need my perspective to know how to handle the matter.:)..but ya did ask us..:)

Hope things in your new neighborhood improve and you and the neighbors enjoy and tolerate one another.

Don't sweat the small stuff...and most of what folks get wound-up about is small stuff...
For that matter, don't sweat the big stuff..just work thru it with a mindset of how you'd want the matter to be treated if you were the one under the gun...

Laugh.Live.Love.Forgive...and yes there are times to drop the hammer..but they in truth occur very infrequently and after about all else has been tried and rejected for reconciliation..jim

Heck you don't even need to bury wire anymore. Lowes sells a system that uses a transmitter. When the dog gets to far away from it he 1st get a beep. If he keeps going he gets "the correction". I've been thinking that these would work well for prisioner work programs. No more need for illegal labor....just sentenced laborers<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

And kids! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

WOW....this is a long thread.

Rem.280 never said he wasn't in the wrong for letting his critter chit circles on the neighborhood.....he was just sayin' he wished the person that took the time to report the rake, and/or make the foreign deposit on his driveway, had come to him, and settled the issue...face to face.

Can't blame him, really. I loathe people that take the passive-aggressive route.....cuz it's the chicken chit way of doin' business <IMHO>....sort of like passin' the buck. That said, I suppose that is why people are willing to pay HOA dues, sadly. Let someone else do the bitchin' and moanin' for ya, eh?!

The whole HOA system makes no sense to me.....talk about a sheeple reality.....but to each their own.....some people are content to live on/with a postal stamp reality <shudder>.

Just my .02.

Now I'm getting confused. 1st I'm in compleat agreement with Barak and now Hound Girl makes a post that sounds almost like something Stick would write... is the moon stuck on full? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />
