10 Ways to ANNOY your Neighbor

carliray: have a loud new years party until 3 am?

at 08:54PM 01/01/09

aslan: 10. Party with 30-40 of your most intimate friends on the weekend.... &Tues, &Wed, &Thurs.. till 3-4 AM.
9. Play your music so loud that the bass shakes the walls of your neighbor's house.
8. Have loud conversations in the street while playing deafening music on your car sound system, with the doors open, of course.
7. Open and close car doors repeatedly as you take turns driving around the block racing your engine.
6. Find females to scream at the top of their voices periodically, as if at a HS football game.
5. Be either gender and include a minimum of 5 profanities in every sentence (to include that old favorite, the F-bomb) as you scream at the top of your voice at your friends (?).
4. Ignore repeated in person requests regarding the desire NOT to call the local PD.
3. Have a girl fight in the middle of the street while 30-40 friends (?) cheer for their personal favorite.
2. Tell your neighbor that you're going to "mess them up" while "conveniently being held back by three friends.
1. Call your aging but kindly, and still youthful thinking, neighbor Mr Wilson..... #10 - 2 are annoying.... but #1 is going TOO far..... :)

carliray: sorry...I thought you wanted us to post ideas..

I say its time for aslan to roar.

at 08:56PM 01/01/09

bekah: haha

at 08:57PM 01/01/09

jacquegrubbs: yes Aslan, please roar .... a little louder this time:)

at 08:58PM 01/01/09

jaypo: Just do what Susie and I do and call the cops on them. It works quite well. We've managed to break up house parties, block parties, and the occasional rowdy bah mitzvah.

at 09:02PM 01/01/09

jacquegrubbs: yes, calling the police for us only works until the police have rounded the corner:(

at 09:06PM 01/01/09

jaypo: yikes. maybe you should provide the drinks for their next gathering and introduce a mild sleeping agent. maybe that would make it a nice quiet sleepover. a trojan horse if you will.

carliray: :(

at 09:11PM 01/01/09

carliray: lol jaypo

at 09:12PM 01/01/09

mary: roar and roar again....or eat them alive....

at 09:25PM 01/01/09

Cindy: i take it you had a rough night...

at 09:32PM 01/01/09

aslan: @cindy.... one that extends back to June of 08... when he moved in....

at 09:34PM 01/01/09

Cindy: i think you have been patient long enough. can you rally the other neighbors to your cause?

at 09:37PM 01/01/09

aslan: @garrett... What about if your neighbor came to you and said exactly that.... he didn't "want" to call the police? What if he said he wanted to be a good neighbor, but wanted you to be a good neighbor as well? What if the "a" time you're talking about was 2-3 times a week for 6 months? What if your neighbor "friend" treated you like an
"enemy"...... do you threaten to "mess-up" friends?.. are they "really" your friend? With friends like that........

at 09:43PM 01/01/09

aslan: @garrett.... I'll send them to live across the street from you......?????? :)

at 09:44PM 01/01/09

warrior: Aslan I am with you. I think you have been patient enough

at 09:46PM 01/01/09

aslan: I like the Christmas carols idea :)

at 09:56PM 01/01/09

carliray: we could have an awesome worship service in the street in front of your house...a fire-tunnel and everything!

at 10:17PM 01/01/09

jen: Aslan...did those 10 things actually happen?? If so ...definitely call police. Isn't there a 10pm sound rule? They don't have to know that you called.

at 10:18PM 01/01/09

aslan: @jen Yes, the 10 things are a history of the last 6 months (in brief). My understanding is that disturbing the peace can happen at "any" time. I have and will call the police, but these guys (and girls) don't seem to care much. I understand there are other legal approaches which we will most likely be looking in to. I called last night (at 3 AM.... I'm more patient than most), but given that it was New Years Eve, I'm sure they had other priorities...... understandably...

at 10:37PM 01/01/09

jen: oh man!! that's such a bummer because it disrupts your life. i hope you can figure out a solution. are they renting or do they own the home?

at 10:45PM 01/01/09

nichole: Dad did they seriously call you Mr. Wilson? I'm going to go over there and yell at them. Or we could pull all of your young but loud grandkids out of bed at 6 or 7 in the morning and place them in their lawn to yell and scream will they all are suffering from hangovers.... every single day.... ahhhhhhh

No but seriously, did they call you Mr. Wilson?

at 10:54PM 01/01/09

aslan: @garrett... I know :) and I DO remember when I was young (barely :) ), that's why I've let this thing go on for so long.

@jen... A young guy owns the home. That provides another possible approach we'll be considering, kinda complicated, but I understand effective.

at 10:55PM 01/01/09

aslan: @Nichole..... Yes.... :)

at 10:57PM 01/01/09

nichole: I meant to say *while* not will.

at 10:57PM 01/01/09

nichole: That's it... I'm going to go beat them up.... that'll stop them!

at 11:00PM 01/01/09

morgandawna: How horrible!!!

I can't believe they called you Mr. Wilson, meanies!

at 11:01PM 01/01/09

jen: so is he calling himself Dennis the Menace? that's kind of a weird reference..Mr. Wilson

at 11:08PM 01/01/09

jakesmom: Soooo Sir Aslan....How's your lawn looking these days....It's always nice to mow really early when the air is fresh and the birds are just waking up!! :)
Bless ya man....My husband and I feel your pain....
Father may his neighbors know they are sons and daughters....that they have a purpose and beautiful destiny's in You....We release the Kingdom of the Son of your love all over them and ask that your angels say hello and Father your government the government of Heaven would be released in their hearts and over the whole neighborhood.....

at 11:08PM 01/01/09

aslan: @jen: It's a reference to a Grouchy old man who lives next door who always is complaining about the neighbor kid who's just being a kid and trying to have fun.

How we frame a situation dictates our reaction to it. Problem: I'm living in a "grownups" world and frame it differently. :)

at 11:23PM 01/01/09

jen: that's why it such a weird reference. he's comparing himself to a little kid and you the grownup...I guess that says a lot right there

at 11:26PM 01/01/09

2endraskes: We have a LAPD cop liveing on our street across from Dennis the M, and he does nothing in his own hood....:( I have just chosen to pray instead....

at 11:37PM 01/01/09

jakesmom: .....Oh and before you mow your lawn get some chiclets for your front teeth and smile while you mow...

at 11:38PM 01/01/09

jered: The military blasts Barry Manilow, AC/DC, Queen, Pantera, Nine Inch Nails, Dr. Dre, Eminem, etc. Perhaps for this crowd only the first one would be torture.

And the "provide the drinks" favor worked really well for the Joker in Dark Knight.

at 01:23PM 01/02/09

aslan: Hey Jered Good to see you back on here.

That Manilow suggestion is really tempting...... but I just can't be THAT cruel. That would without a doubt violate the Love principle..... :)

at 04:28PM 01/02/09

jaypo: Maybe take the reverse action if the law and other methods are proving ineffective. Try for 30 days to do something unexpectedly kind to them. Such as cookies on the doorstep, or a dish of spaghetti. If a single guy owns the house, food is a good entry point. Try it as a science experiment for 30 days. If after 30 days it doesn't work, begin to put exlax in the brownies. mwahaha. :)

myriah: You could blow up his house... It's pretty ugly anyway.

at 03:29AM 01/03/09

bethanys: Wow, I must have never "been young" though I'm only 26 now... The only truly effective way to get rid of our noise/partying problem neighbors was to move... though I did pray for opportunities to show them God's love and was able to some times.

at 07:18AM 01/03/09

minsco: Awe...what a bummer! Hope you guys find peace in this situation soon.

at 07:53AM 01/03/09

jennaliyah: Aslan... I've been in their shoes as well (and I didn't want to read the whole thing, but I did want to add my 2 cents). I would CALL THE COPS... buy a large gauge shot gun and shoot it up at the air multiple times and tell them that they forced you to get ghetto on their little disrespectful butts... ha! I'm so sorry to hear about their shenanigans. BAD CROWD. :(

at 05:20PM 01/03/09

carliray: JENN!!!!!
I am seriously laughing out loud right now...

at 05:22PM 01/03/09

carliray: ...the thought of aslan saying he was "forced to get ghetto.."
hilarious!

at 05:23PM 01/03/09

sonjan: aslan...:( just be careful...call the cops...kirstin and ivan had a similar situation (when they lived in redding)...ivan was hit by "a women on the edge" it was pretty tense.

at 06:40PM 01/03/09

jennaliyah: ha ha Carliray... you know how I roll :)

at 08:08PM 01/03/09

ingamae: I used to be one of those girls partying until 3am or later in the streets with my guy friends who rented a house, drunk as a skunk, and I am trying to remember what would have been effective on me in that state where I didn't give a care about my life at all or see the worth in anyone else's life(drunk and unsaved) and I think the most effective thing would have been some kinda Chad or Kevin Dedmon or Aslan coming over and saying: Want to feel what it is like to get drunk by the presence of God???? and then ask God to show up with your pose of radical believers behind you and expect a big legion of angels and miracles to bust out.......
however, there is a certain amount of risk that would need to be taken since God may not show up and just laugh from Heaven.
In that case-pray-: God what does Aslan need to do in order to resolve the obnoxious neighbor problem? Addly, can you give Aslan a dream about what his neighbors destiny in You is so he can maybe present that to him and change his life forever...Thanks!!!
Final resort: Court or have an attorney you know write them a letter saying they are violating your ability to enjoy your house and creating a nuisance in violation of City of Redding codes/ordinances....and call a City of Redding City Attorney 225-4050 and see if he/she has any thoughts on this issue and can help in any way.....just some thoughts!

at 10:28PM 01/03/09

ingamae: By the way you are way cooler than Mr. Wilson.=-)

billnreese: This was so funny! -c
