I'm so glad I don't have neighbors anymore. I honestly don't think I could go back to another family living right next to me.

Before I moved out here to the sticks, I lived next to a family that drove me crazy. The old man and me were cool, but his son and 2 of his daughters made me livid on a daily basis.

My bedroom window was right next to their driveway, and his son would sit in the truck at night and blast music. I asked him several times to stop, but he just laughed and acted like he didn't understand english. He was only 17 and I really couldn't just beat him senseless; plus me and his pops were cool.

I talked to the dad and it stopped for a while, but whenever the old man would leave he would do it just to piss me off. Then him and 2 of his sisters would set the alarm off at all hours and I thought I was going to lose it. Finally I just started blasting Deicide and Slayer out my window whenever they had the whole clan outside on Saturdays and Sundays. I would just sit by my window and smile at them while they were barbecuing, and turn it up so loud my ears were ringing

Of course that just made matters worse. Do you know how annoying it is at 2 in the morning when someone sets their car alarm off 10 feet from your window, just for the fun of it, and let it run for 15 minutes

One night they set it off and were out laughing about it; and I finally snapped. I ran out back, jumped my fence, and told that kid if he ever did it again I'd kill him and they'd be selling his body parts at the fish bait store. I really don't know if he understood what I said, but the girls ran inside and the old man came out and yelled something in Spanish to his son and then the kid went inside. Then me and the old man talked for a while and he was pissed, but cool about it in the end. It never happened again; though I somehow received 4 slashed tires. About 2 months later I moved out here to the middle of nowhere and thank God for that. If I didn't have so many animals that need so much daily care, I would have curb stomped him and gone to jail and been happy.

I actually had to go to the doctors because I would get so mad I would grit my teeth and start screaming; and developed bad "stress headaches", is what the docs told me.
