Ley me preface that I am trying to think of creative ways to get through to the two owners who keep letting their pets roam. One neighbor has a Rottweiler and a Bull dog that barks and growls at everyone when they are both out of the yard. The other neighbor has two unaltered male cats that they keep leaving out to roam.

The street that we live on seemingly has a high population of stray cats — partly due to some people moving and abandoning their cats and also due to those who will not neuter their cats; which has led to way too many stray kittens being born.

The neighbor with the dogs has left their dogs out so many times. I usually would send a text and let them know their dogs were outside again. it happened again late last night , a few days before, last week and way too many times.

I am tired of irresponsible people who keep assuming that they can just leave their pets out to roam and not take proper responsibility. Can you suggest creative ways to make a point to both of these neighbors?

You cannot be civilized with erratic, rude, selfish people. You cannot reason with them or be polite and try to give them a chance. They will run you over with ignorance, arrogance and selfishness.

That woman has left her unaltered male cats outside on way too many occasions. I literally just texted her on Tuesday and told her to keep her cats inside as it is cat’s mating season when it gets warm.

Yet both her cats were outside again yesterday and late last night. I saw both of them on my security cameras. Plus when I went across the street to the vacant house where several cats hang out in the yard; I saw one of her cats jump the fence. I’ve seen him mark in different areas of that yard.

I told him he needed to go home as he was yowling, which is their version of a mating call. After a few minutes he walked through the opening in the front gate and started to rub up against me. Yep, his testicles were in tact. He’s an adorable cat and super friendly.

She is another trash pet owner. I have tried to help her in the past by giving her information on low cost spay/neuter clinics and other options. She’s done nothing to get them neutered, but had the audacity to leave them outside where they can go try to mate with other cats.

I had to pay out of pocket to get many cats spay and neutered, and I don’t even own any cats. I own and foster dogs.

This was the previous post that touched on this situation: https://www.reddit.com/r/neighborsfromhell/comments/1tbhegj/comment/olkkiuz/

Aninal Control finally showed up and talked to her face to face today. It takes several reports and they send written notification. Then the 4th time they finally go to the residence and talk to the person face to face.

I am tired of careless people who own pets and even unruly kids. Let me preface that I like kids, but some of the kids on this street are ill mannered and simply do not listen. They lack the basic understanding of manners and decency.

Going forward, I will always just call animal control, law enforcement and every other government entity to deal with the headaches of problematic people that lack the fundamentals of basic decency, respect and accountability.

I keep to myself. We are quiet and respectful. There are several reasons that I feel many struggle with just being decent to their neighbors.

Between the 13 kids from 4 houses on this street (that’s not even all the kids) they would run wild in the street and doing things they were not supposed to.

The property manager finally removed the makeshift from the tree that sits between my property and the rental house next door. I asked her three times and after this last time with the kids throwing the broken cinder blocks over the fence, which resulted in cussing her up and down after sending her photos. https://www.reddit.com/r/neighborsfromhell/comments/1sybzw3/kids_throwing_broken_cinder_blocks_over_the_fence/

Then today (this morning) the neighbors who own the house adjacent left their Rottweiler and English bull dog out, so both were roaming the street. The kids were terrified to make their walk to the bus stop. Their dogs have been out many times an as someone who owns and fosters dogs; I do not understand how and why their dogs have been left out so many times when everyone is terrified of their dogs.

Then the house across the street, the lady has been renting that house for 8 years. I’ve talked to her and I actually liked her at one point, but she lost my respect when she 1) kept leaving her two unaltered male cats outside, 2) tried to make me responsible for discarding/burying a dead cat they got hit by a car down the street. She literally kept trying to put it on me, which angered me. 3) She kept allowing her guests to park in other neighbor’s yards.

I have seen her two male cats in my yard at night and then today one was sprawled out on that front stoop. It angered me as I paid for 8 out of 11 free roaming cats to get neutered/spayed. She knows this as she saw me out there working with a volunteer to get as many cats trapped. Yet there have been numerous instances where she kept leaving those male cats outside.

I texted both of those neighbors to let them know that their dogs were out, and to tell the one to keep her cats inside as I had paid for 8 cats to get neutered/spayed.

I don’t know why some people fail to be decent neighbors. How hard is it to just be respectful? To not let your animals roam free outside of your property? I swear it seems like it’s impossible for them to just be decent.

I placed a first time order on Kayali’s site using the first time purchase promo code. I ordered two (50 ml) of the vacation fragrances and the order showed the promo pricing of $210+, so I proceeded to checkout. Somehow the pricing changed to $224.70 which was the pricing without the promo. I was charged the full price. I contacted customer service via Kayali’s web form.

They said there was nothing they could do, but I could use the 10% off promo code for the next order. (Who said there would be another order???!) I then asked them to cancel the order. I contemplated on placing another order to attempt to use the promo code.

Apparently they couldn’t cancel the order as it was delivered on 5/4/26. I contacted them on 5/4/26 through 5/11/26 to request a return label. I received a canned reply on 5/5/26 that basically said to reply to that message with the same information that I had already provided (order number, etc.).

Mind you , Kayali gives a 14 day return window. I got a reply that didn’t seem canned on 5/8/26 that said someone would get back to me shortly. I reached out several more times. I got nothing else from Kayali….until I filed a dispute with my bank on 5/10/26.

I finally got a response from Kayali 5/12/26. The amount of energy that one has to spend to get their customer service to actually do their job is ridiculous. I read complaints on BBB from those who have tried to contact KaYali due to receiving the wrong fragrance, empty boxes, etc.

Kayali’s customer service is atrocious. They need to do better, especially when people are spending so much money on fragrances. I will take my time returning the package being that I had to file a bank dispute to get them to even respond. If I shop Kayali I will stick to buying from Sephora; at least their customer service is responsive and provides customer support.

I don’t know how to apply the spoiler, so forgive me.

Today the narcissistic adopted mother kept assuming she was going to aim her tantrum at me. I dished it right back at her.

I tokd her that I would have NEVER choose her as a mother as she was a horrible person and even worse mother. I told her how she didn’t protect me as a young girl. This isn’t the first time that I’ve told her how she failed me and failed to protect me, which is a parent’s responsibility.

I was 7 years old and I had just went through one of the most traumatic experiences of a contentious custody battle between my adopted parents (her and my adopted dad). They literally played tug of war with me between and she lost her grip and fell against a storm door.

She immediately moved onto another man, which was so weird to me. She left me to ride from Texas to Nc with some man who was army buddies with a man who would quickly become my step father. I didn’t want to ride with this strange man, but she told me it was fine. She rode with the man who would quickly became my step father.

Sexual abuse warning.

Sexual abuse warning.

Sexual abuse warning.

>! The man molested me even when I kept trying to stop him. I was already traumatized as I had seen my adopted parents fight over me, then to be 7 years old and dealing with some strange man putting his hands on me. Sadly this was a prelude of abuse to come that was physical, emotional, sexual and physiological.<

I was just a little girl and I started having nightmares. I called out for my mother, only for my step father to come with a belt in hand. He would beat me and I had welts all over my body. Never once did she come. Never once did she check on me.

She ignored how much I was hurting as I was missing my dad and after all of the abuse I had already endured at that point only for more abuse to continue to happen.

So I let her have it since she thought she was going to throw a tantrum. I hope it eats her up inside. She deserves every bit of pain as that is what she inflicted on me as a child.

I truly feel there should be some additional follow up when people adopt kids to protect the kids. I know some kids are adopted into loving homes with mentally stable parents, but that’s just not always the case in every situation. I also know that narcissistic people are good at masking who they truly are.

Initially it was 8 kids and they seemed to all just play in the front yard a few houses down the street. However, someone else moved in and she has 5 kids. So now it’s 13 kids total between the three rental homes.

They have began playing loudly in the front yard of the rental property next door. mainly due to the makeshift swing those tenants installed on the one tree that sits on the fence line between my property and the neighboring house. The tree grew between the fence.

There will be several of them out there on any given day screaming and yelling while they are either on the make swing or just standing on the fence line.

I had my patio redone, so Ive had to wait for the polymeric sand to cure; so the dogs had to use the bathroom in the front yard. One of the dogs is a foster and he tends to nip. One kid kept leaning on the fence and sticking his hand through.

I told him to remove his hand because the dog may try to bite him. He kept right on sticking his hand through again. I told him again and he says “your dog doesn’t like kids” and I repeat that I said he co bite you. NOT that he doesn’t like kids!

Then today I had to let the dogs back out in the front. I walk over to the fence line where all of those kids keep gathering and there are huge piece of broken cinder blocks that was thrown over the fence.

I have contacted the property management again about the need to move that makeshift swing away from the fence line. I sent photos of the broken cinder blocks before I yeeted them back over into their yard where they came from.

Although I get the hate that HOA’s get; I totally understand why they are necessary. I am about to see what it would entail to enact an HOA in my community. I don’t want strict or nitpicky, but the amount of nuisance issues that come from problematic people who happen to be renters should not be this prevalent.
