Trump in My Backyard

Just shoot me now. I had major ankle surgery last month and am just now getting around in a boot with crutches. The hubs and I thought sitting on the patio surrounded by the flowers in the backyard would improve my mood. It did ... for a while.

Our back fence neighbors were out working in their yard. They are a despicable pair, leaving brush piles, standing water, etc. in their yard. We've had to call the city multiple times because the mosquitoes got so bad. Let's just say they are not our favorite neighbors. Anyway, the wife turned on what we thought was talk radio. That was bad enough. It sounded like an evangelical preacher doing his thing, which would be normal for a Sunday, I guess.

I commented to my husband that the noise was distracting and I guess she heard me. So, she turned it UP. She's like that - bitchy and vindictive as hell. Lo and behold it was no preacher, but the orange insurrectionist apparently giving a speech in North or South Carolina. Every once in a while she'd scream "YES" to whatever he said like she was in church. I thought I was going to puke.

I figured two could play that game, so I talked louder, sprinkling "con man", "grifter", "liar" and a few other choice words in the conversation. The more I talked the more she turned it up. It got so loud our side yard neighbor came out on his deck and yelled at her to turn it down. She turned it up MORE. Side yard neighbor called the police, who were there in less than 5 min (our popos are VERY responsive). They told her to turn it down or they'd write her a citation. That didn't go over well. She started screaming at us and the other neighbor about her "rights" at which point the police took her inside the house. Disgusted, I crutched my way back inside and ate a donut.

You can't even sit in your own backyard anymore. I told the hubs next time this happens I'm bringing the boom box outside and playing classic rock to drown her out. Or maybe I need to record some Biden speeches??

1. sorry you have assholes near you. I wouldn't be so nice to them!

[yonder]

2. Beside being obnoxious, she sounds snowflakey too.

[LisaM]

3. Better yet, Hillary speeches.

That's guaranteed to drive her mad.

[ProudMNDemocrat]

4. Play Queen and loud as if you are at a Concert.

We will, we will Rock you!

[mercuryblues]

12. I was thinking

AC/DC's Highway to hell on a loop

[ProudMNDemocrat]

13. AC/DC is another GREAT choice.

[mercuryblues]

15. So is Queen

I'm in Love with my Car' Tie Your Mother Down, or the Prophet's Song over and over again,

[AllaN01Bear]

26. 1812 overture . the 1 with the cannons and bells .

[Doc Sportello]

32. I recommend Rage Against the Machine

Cranked up really high.

[lastlib]

41. Lou Reed, Metal Machine Music....

...I guarantee you it will drive them bonkers! (BYO earplugs!) It's the most grating recorded sounds I've ever heard! I can listen to heavy-metal music all day--but I have a hard time taking five minutes of that.

For decades, it has been THE go-to for loud obnoxious neighbor revenge.

[cilla4progress]

5. Ugh.

[Ferrets are Cool]

6. I would have gotten the largest radio I had and blasted some heavy metal

[70sEraVet]

7. Play some Randy Rainbow hits!

He does GREAT Broadway songs, cleverly revised to suit his political views ( as well as to celebrate his sexual orientation).
That should succeed in making her head explode!

[FoxNewsSucks]

29. Definitely!

[gay texan]

8. Oh hon

Please invite me to the house for cocktails. Itll be an evening you'll never regret

[questionseverything]

9. My neighbor, rest his soul

Had a 78 speed record of the beer barrel polka

In a case like this he would play that really loud

Over and over and over

lol

It usually worked

[AllaN01Bear]

27. i live in a apartment complex . one neighbor accross the quad had a upstairs neighbor

who would tune in 1450 and play it full blast. thr guy has a all wave walki talki and would tune in kvml 1450 and go blah blah and other sounds and then "click'.

[SoCalDavidS]

10. I Vote For The Benny Hill Song, Yakety Sax nt

[Wicked Blue]

11. I've always found blasting Inna-Gada-Da-Vida highly effective

in situations like this. (Iron Butterfly, 1968)

Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road (Loudon Wainwright III, 1972) is another fave of mine.

[PlanetBev]

21. And it's stinking to high Heaven!

You got your dead cat and you got your dead dog,
On a moonlit night, you got your dead toad frog.

Good choice!

[Ocelot II]

14. Opera. Wagner's Ring Cycle.

20 minutes of Götterdämmerung as loud as your boom box will go will have them screaming for mercy. I love opera but a lot of people really, really hate it, and I doubt your neighbors are fans. I once used a bit of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring to mess with some obnoxious neighbors once, but opera will be even better.

[Joinfortmill]

16. Omg, so sorry.

[johnp3907]

17. Classic Rock won't do it.

Merzbow is the sonic weapon of mass destruction you need.

I'm giving you points for that remedial effort; yes INDEED

[Trueblue1968]

19. BIDEN, HILLARY & OBAMA SPEECHES up full blast !!!

[Rhiannon12866]

20. Oh, Good Grief!

The idiot across the street who spends all his time fussing around outside with his lawn only plays loud music, but I guess I'm lucky, he took his TFG banner down after the election...

[No Vested Interest]

22. You don't need this aggravation. Sit in the front yard.

[diane in sf]

23. Merry go round, by Frank Zappa. We used it to end parties back in the day.

[Demovictory9]

24. Wow

[TeamProg]

25. Sorry to hear that. It can be frustrating. Even if the noise is not TFG or some wing nut

screaming over the air, it’s just rude.

I’m super thankful to have finally found my way onto five acres in the Sierra foothills. Still, there’s a popular lake 1/4 mile away and the party fun gets a bit loud over there. But the close neighbors are all respectful of each other.

Hopefully your local C.O.P. will keep responding to the complaints.

Good luck.

[MissMillie]

38. My rule of thumb (FWIW)

Is that living in close proximity to other people requires that people try to keep their noise to themselves.

Obviously people will make noise while mowing lawns, blowing the snow out of the drive, etc. But things like loud music, fireworks, etc are just not okay.

[Warpy]

28. Well, two wrongs don't make a right and you might be the one getting the citation

if you retaliate in kind in your sort of neighborhood with reponsive popos. You need to live in my kind of neighborhood for that kind of thing and I've found John Philip Sousa marches to be wonderful after they've finally gone in to sleep it off. Time it for about two hours later, they'll be maximally hung over, dehydrated and dry heaving at that point. Just a short burst of any random march did the trick, the groans were clearly audible, as was the argument over who got the porcelain telephone to the gods first.

The best part was that keeping it short meant they had no clue where it came from.

Still, it only works in neighborhoods with still warm chalk outlines on the sidewalks and cops who have better things to do but knock on doors to find out who was patriotic at 5 AM or so.

I'm calling your neighbor a drunk and there's a reason for that, Dutch courage is what keeps a lot of these right wing loons in the lunatic fold and keeps them from asking any pertinent questions. I doubt she's learned her lessons, either about creating a neighborhood disturbance or sassing the cops.

In fact, if she has the audacity to get snotty at you, just look down your long blue nose at her and say "being that drunk on a Sunday morning is disgraceful. Please get some help." Then walk away. There is a 90% chance you'll be on target and she'll never speak to you again and sometimes that's the best you can do.

ABove all, never argue with a crazy person. Drop the bomb and go inside.

[FoxNewsSucks]

30. Or try this 10-hour loop of the pepto bismol commercial

nausea heartburn indigestion upset stomach diarrhea. . . . .

[RainCaster]

31. I suggest Barbra Streisand sonvs

And Sammy Davis Jr. too.

[LeftInTX]

35. Not Biden: Steve Schmidt.

Boom it!

[Emile]

36. All republicans are obnoxious ignorant idiots. Thank

god I live in a rural setting.

[MissMillie]

37. Yeah I get it.

It truly IS what is wrong w/ this world... when someone KNOWS that what they're doing bothers you, and despite having other options, they just keep at it--just because they can.



"In a world where you can be anything, be kind."

[Jimbo S]

39. Play MLK speeches

[Jimbo S]

40. This is why I live in a condo

Say what you want about HOA, behaviors of this type isn't tolerated.
