I’ve shared in the past about sone of these neighbors. The neighborhood is a large SFH community with about 200 homes. We are in the SE US in the suburbs of a medium sized city. Also, I have security cameras around my entire home/property.

The 3 problematic neighbors are as follows:

1. These neighbors own the home. Initially we were friendly and I would text the wife out of courtesy to let her know the 6 chickens, 2 roosters, and turkey were out; or the Rottweiler and Bull dogs were out. All of their animals were constantly left out to roam freely. The dogs were more of a problem as they would bark and growl at everyone. They pissed off several of the neighbors between all of their animals constantly being left out to freely roam. Long story short, I got blamed for calling Animal Control. The husband lied to the wife. Animal Control was in the neighborhood trying to catch neighbor #2’s unaltered cats off their property. I’ll recap this towards the bottom.
2. The woman next door to neighbor #1. She has been renting that property for over 8 years. She is a section8 voucher holder. I’m sharing that as i don’t know if she was trying to hide owning the two unaltered male cats. She would constantly leave them outside and I’ve caught her cats on top of my car via security cameras. I don’t want them scratching up the paint. I also gave her options to get the cats neutered. Months later she finally agreed after both cats would be outside spraying and looking to mate. She gave the lady from the rescue a hard time because she didn’t want the cats ears tipped as an indicator of a fixed cat. She finally agreed to pay a higher cost to avoid the ear tip. It would include vax and microchipping both cats. She did not want the cats microchipped, which is so odd. It’s been about two months post op and she continues to leave the cats outside. A couple of days ago, I foubd cat shit on my porch. I have texted her so many times about her cats to the point that I am tired of texting her.
3. The neighbor next door to our bedroom windows were so problematic between the loud resonating bass. The kids throwing trash over the fence - empty cereal box, bag of trash, candy wrappers, bottles, broken cinder blocks, a dirty old rug, etc. The adult son started parking on the side of the house, which is beyond the driveway and 30 feet from my bedroom window. He would come in sometimes blasting music and then slamming the car doors. Between him, two other adults and three teens renting that home for the past three years. I’ve contacted the property manager with video and photos of too many of the incidents. I asked her for the past two months to ask the adult son if he could please park in the driveway or back in the yard where he was parking before. I started waiting for him to go inside at night, so I would not be jarred awake by the loud door slamming. Most nights it would be after midnight. Two Saturdays ago, I had been working outside all day, so by the time 10pm came i was exhausted and ready for bed. He backed in on the side of the house. I sat waiting for him to go inside. Finally after 11pm, I opted to go stand on the side of my yard near where he was parking. I was wearing my night gown. I wasn’t going to be rude, but at some point he saw me. He pulled out of the yard and drove off. He didn’t cone back until Sunday evening. He pulled into the driveway after 10pm and he has ever since.🙏🏽🤣 All it took was seeing me. They have been quiet since then.

The neighbors with all of the animals finally moved. Prior to that, the wife sent me a long winded passive aggressive text basically accusing me of calling animal control. The longer story shortened: I called her to try to figure out what she was talking about. She was being rude and talking over mi. I suggested we call Animal Control while on the phone and she agreed, but then said she had to get off the phone. I did reach Animal Control and the lady was confused by any photos of that neighbor’s dogs as they were none. She said it sounded weird and Animal Control officers do not give out who called, but she suggested that I request the report.

The husband lied saying “that the animal control officer said that I was the one that called animal control on them and that I sent the officer a photo of one of their dogs”. I opted to request a copy of the aninal control report which would include all phone calls, comments, any photos. There were no photos of their dogs. They had been served back in 11/25, which i had no idea about. I sent them a copy of everything via certified mail with a letter detailing my disappointment in bringing blamed for something that i did not do.

Furthermore, I stated that whenever i contacted them about their animals being out it was done out of courtesy. I will never do that again for any neighbor in this neighborhood, because entitled people will always be entitled. The wife tried to text me after receiving the certified letter, but I blocked her. I saw in my iMessages an unread text from her. I’m not petty, but when I am done with someone I will wish them well, but all texting and phone access is done. Plus she saw me thereafter snd she spoke and i spoke in passing.

Let me preface that I’m just trying to understand. It is a unique situation because the property is actually owned by the housing authority. However the rest of the community are privately owned homes. I come in peace. I’m simply trying to understand.

I know that people have to follow the rules and the lease. Im just trying to figure out why this lady did not want to get her cats microchipped, because she kept leaving them outside. Both male cats were not neutered at the time and they were marking and spraying everywhere — in my yard, the neighbor’s yards…

Where the situation started to irritate me aside fron the smell of the cat urine, but when I saw one of the cats sitting on top of my car a few times. I don’t want the cat to scretch up thr paint. I asked the lady to please keep her cats inside or at least leashed where she lives. Plus there are coyotes in the neighborhood that I have told her about and I even sent a screenshot of the neighbor’s yard the coyotes were in.

When I approached her again about another option to get her cats neutered, initially she seemed hesitant. She gave the lady from the rescue a hard time initially. Then she finally agreed, but said she did not want the cats microchipped, which was included.

She has had the cats for over 5 years. I know because the cats have left outside so often. So it just seens weird that she would not want them microchipped. Even the lady at the rescue found it odd. You can’t make someone microchip their pets. Can you have pets living in property owned by the housing authority directly?

it’s me again. The lady who lives in a SFH community amongst some pretty entitled neighbors on the same street. The neighborhood is in the suburbs of a medium sized city.

1. The neighbor who kept leaving their Rottweiler, Bull dogs, chickens, roosters and turkey out seems to have finally moved. They were gone for a couple of weeks and then showed up after midnight last night. I saw the security cameras when they would leave and then come back minutes later. They did that 8 times within 40 minutes. Maybe they had to grab some things.
2. The neighbor (eldest son) who kept parking outside my bedroom window slamming his car doors after midnight. I (31F) do a lot of my own landscaping and laborious jobs myself. After too many nights of being jarred awake or kept awake.

I spent all last Saturday working outside from 10am until after 4pm, so I was physically exhausted by the time I got done. So when 10pm came i was ready for bed. I hear him next door backing in outside of my bedroom window. He kept me up Thursday night until after 12:30am.

By the time 11pm rolls around I’m getting annoyed as I’m waiting for him to slam his car doors as his cue that he’s going inside, so i can go to sleep. He doesn’t, so I proceed to walk out into my yard and stand in my night shirt on the side nearest to where he’s parked. I wasn’t going to to be rude, or cause a scene. i was going to politely explain that I could hear him slamming his car doors based on where he was parking which was past the driveway and on the side of the house nearest to my bedroom window. Instead of any of that, he saw me and immediately pulled out of the yard and drove off.😂 I guess I looked mad. He has been parking in the driveway since Sunday night and going inside upon arriving home. Lol.

3. The neighbor who kept leaving her cats outside and the cats would jump up on one of my cars. She still persists in leaving them outside to freely roam.

I’ve been dealing with invasive kadzu vines in my yard. So I’ve been out digging, pulling, cutting and everything else. I’ve had to enlist using a chemical to kill off kadzu vines as they are coming from the neighbor’s (who was slamming his car doors at nigh) backyard. I have texted her as a means for her to keep her cats on her property, so they won’t be exposed to the chemical. She still leaves them outside on most days. I don’t know why she has any pets at all.

I live in a large SFH community in the suburbs of a medium sized city in the SE U.S. I try to always be neighborly without doing too much. Basically if a neighbor asks for help, I will do all that I can within my means to help as a woman.

The issue started with a neighbor who kept leaving their Rottweiler and Bull dogs out. The dogs would stand in the street barking and growling at everyone.

Kids were scared of their dogs. People in cars were scared of their dogs as they would sometimes lay on the horn to try to get them to move. I was scared of their dogs. Out of courtesy I would text the wife to let her know the dogs were out.

They also had chickens, two roosters and a turkey that they would let roam free. Some of the neighbors would complain, especially about the roosters that started crowing at about 4am. Again, we are in the suburbs of a medium sized city.

The livestock was one thing, but the large, muscled dogs that would bark and growl at everyone was another. Apparently one of the neighbors reported their dogs being out. Animal control came out and left a notice on their front door back in November 2025.

I was experiencing an issue with a neighbor who kept leaving her unaltered cats outside and they would climb up on top of one of my cars. Several of the security cameras caught the cats on top of my car.

I tried several times to get that neighbor to keep her cats inside, but the cats would constantly be outside. I didn’t want them on my car as they can scratch up the top coat. After trying several times to get that neighbor to keep the cats inside; I called animal control to let them handle it.

Animal control did come out, but the owner wasn’t home. The boyfriend was outside, so the officer spoke with him. Then the officer spoke with the husband, (the neighbor who kept leaving their dogs outside) who was out front working in the yard. Apparently the officer spoke with him and warned him to keep his dogs in his yard.

I think animal control was out scoping the community and saw one of their dogs off of their property. I saw animal control pass by several times during the week on some of the security camera footage.

I got a long passive-aggressive text from the wife (neighbor with the dogs) that made no sense. I had to piece this all together after the fact. I told the wife I wanted to call her, so I could understand what she meant. I was a bit agitated as she did not give me the courtesy before just making an assumption and jumping to conclusions.

I called her and she said that her husband said I called animal control on their dogs. She went on that animal control came to speak with them and the whole street was there to witness it. She went on to say the husband said that the officer said it was me by name and that i had sent a photo of their Rottweiler.

Plus she was being dramatic. I rolled the cameras security footage back. There were only three people present when animal control was there — the animal control officer. the husband (house with the dog) and the boyfriend (house with the cats) and that’s it. There was no one else.

I was confused by all of that and said that we need to call animal control right now. It was about 4:40pm on a week day. She agreed and then said to call her back once i got through to them. She didn’t want to stay on the phone, so animal control could speak with both of us.

I got animal control on the phone and asked about any photos provided to animal control, and if the officer would directly say who called them. She said the situation sounded odd, because animal control does not give names of who called. They had no photos of any of the dogs on record. So the bottom line, the husband lied.

I pulled the report and any call history to animal control. There was only the one report/warning from November 2025 and it included photos of the warning posted in their front door and a photo of the house to serve as proof of them being served. I had no idea that they had received a prior warning.

So I got blamed for something that I didn’t do by entitled people who should be responsible for keeping their dogs on their property. i always hoped that if my dogs got out that someone would tell me. Going forward I will not let any neighbors know about their animals. This has taught me that you should never be courteous to entitled, selfish people.

It has been a long 8 years of having to live next door to them. i own my home and that house is a rental. The mother was human garbage and she was formally evicted. The eldest son took over the lease three years ago. There are 6 people sharing that 3 bedroom house — him, another man, a woman and his three siblings.

The issues mainly are 1) him and the other entitled a-hole like to blast music with lots of loud bass and he/the eldest son started parking beyond the driveway on the side of the house, which is right outside my bedroom window.

2. He will sit in the car late at night when he gets home and then makes all types of noise once he turns the music off he starts slamming his car doors.

Between all of that, the kids have thrown so much trash, broken cinder blocks, etc. over the fence.

I have lost so much sleep between having my sleep disrupted or being jarred awake. Tonight it was 11:15pm that the first entitled a-hole came in with bass thumping. He quickly went inside. Then the second entitled a-hole came in, pulled up on the side of the house at 11:42pm and proceeded to scroll on his phone.

We have security cameras installed all around the house and property. I could see him just scrolling away. I was waiting, because that a-hole has awakened me so many times. No, they are not civilized, so speaking to them is not going to happen.

I turned the floodlight on and it was shining into his car, so he quickly got out and went inside: I will do this every night going forward until he either gets it, or, I will send the security footage to his property manager to show how loud the car doors slamming are.

I wish that some entitled a-hole will wake him and the selfish prick up and disrupt their sleep to the point that they are sleep deprived. Selfish entitled people suck!

Update: Thank you to everyone who has been understanding regarding this frustrating ongoing ordeal. I did speak with community policing officer who said he would be going over to speak with them when they’re home. I’m hoping he can catch one of the adults during the day.

I live on a street in a SFH community with 13 kids between 5 homes. Yes, that many kids on just my street. Most days during this summer you can hear them screaming while they are running back and forth, up and down the street. The majority of them have the worst parents. They probably send them outside to get a break from them, but for the most part no one is halfway watching them.

I had an issue with 8 of them that were playing on a makeshift swing tied to a tree that grew into my fence. I was working in my backyard and the patio pavers needed time to set, so I had to take my dog and a foster dog out in the front yard. I had discovered that the foster dog nips/bites. There was the one kid who kept testing my patience by sticking his hand through the fence even when I told him not to due to the dog biting.

He kept on snd I told him 3 times that the dog bites. He goes “the dog doesn’t like kids” and I knew he must be the kid that would touch the stove when someone told him it was hot. I’ve seen him shoving things down one of the gutters. He has 4 siblings. I don’t know why some people opt to have so many kids when they are incapable of parenting all of their kids equally

The day after that incident I found broken cinder blocks thrown over my fence. Yes, I have security cameras, but between the birds and the squirrels in the tree that camera is attached to — the camera was out of angle.

I truly despise bad kids. The majority tend to have even worse parents who do the bare minimum of actually parenting their kids. It’s not the neighbor’s job to parent or watch someone else’s kids. It infuriates me that some people want to pass things off on others, when it’s their kid(s) so the onus is on them.

I needed to vent as I am tired of seeing these dimwits walking back and forth with their face in their phones setting off my damn cameras all day while they are dressed in hoodies and winter clothes in 90+ degree weather in the south. The absurdity. School can’t come back in session soon enough.

I had an after thought that the title should have been “I hate bad parents”.

My adopted mother is a narcissistic POS. She will literally sit on her azz watching garbage tv, eating chips and drinking Diet Coke. Meanwhile if I don’t tell her to feed her dog or to give it water; she won’t.

I am still her caregiver. No, she is not handicapped. Yes, she can walk and she has full mobility. She is a diabetic, but furthermore she is just lazy.

I went by today and i had to tell her again “feed your dog and give it clean water”. Meanwhile she has eaten, drank and is doing what she always does sitting on her azz. I feel compelled to take her dog, just so he will be properly cared for.

The mother was evicted after renting the home next door for 5 years. She was a trash mother and she prioritized different men and partying in the front yard nearly every night. Our bedrooms are closest to the driveway of that rental house. So we rarely got any sleep and she never entertained in the house due to her 4 kids.

Between the constant noise, the piles of trash, her kids littering, her fighting on several occasions in the front yard. She set quite the example for her kids. Between community policing getting involved and her having a 5th kid, she was asked to move out.

Her eldest son took over the lease. Don‘t ask me how, because at the time he was not an adult yet, but it may have been due to some other man moving in with him and his four younger siblings. So now there are 7 of them living there, because another lady who was blasting music late at night has been living there too.

The issue is that he is now parking closest to our bedroom windows, which is beyond the driveway and on the side of the house. He blasts music long enough to wake us up and slams his car doors late at night. This has been going on for the past couple of months with him parking there.

I have asked the property manager to ask him to park away from our bedroom windows and to please not blast music late at night during quiet hours. Yes, there is room for him to park in the driveway, but he seems not to want to park there.

I own my home outright and moving is not an option. I’m escalating it to get community policing back involved, between him and the other two who come and go early in the morning; my patience is worn thin.

I can’t even listen to music without feeling a huge ache in my entire being. He was the most different dog I’ve ever had. I adopted him from the shelter and he was about 5 months old. A greyish colored pit/staffie mix. He had been abused and he would react whenever I pulled out a wooden handled brush to groom him. His poor ears had been butchered. Regardless he was my dog and I was going to do everything in my power love and protect him.

He had severe anxiety and he was vocal with his barking and wailing whenever I took him for grooming or vet appointments. He was not aggressive. He had been abused and that impacted him, which caused his anxiety.

I am thankful that I have a large fenced in yard and I would go out and play with him. He got along with other dogs and he would let our chihuahua mix dominate him and hang on his cheeks.

Whenever I played music he would come running and sing along in his half barks and sounds. Then he started doing something I’d never seen him do — he would lay on his back and scoot around in a circle to the music. He loved music as much as I did. So it was such a special bond to share with him.

I miss my big headed boy so much. He developed a huge mass in his lung and he had to put down in March 2026. My heart feels so empty and I struggle through my days. I know many who don’t have deep bonds with their pets will never understand, but I know those in this sub do it.

I am a loner and my world was content with me and my dog. Now my world is so empty without him. Most days I struggle. I feel depressed and so lonely without him. I wish I could have more time with him. He was truly special and one of a kind with all of his goofy personality, big smile, and his comedic timing. I miss him terribly.

I’m in NC and it’s hurricane season. The bigger issue with that tree are the power lines that are to my home and to the neighboring property. There are large branches hanging over both lines and both are running through the large branches. The power company only trims an inch or two, so in order to alleviate any potential hazard this tree will need to be cut low.

I know to get it cut low, the power lines to my home and theirs will need to be dropped by the utility company.

The issue is the neighboring property is a rental home and the owner does the bare minimum of maintenance. I sent him several photos from different vantage points, so he could see the way the power lines have large branches hanging on them.

The cheapest cost that I found was $1200 and I am offering that he could pay $500 and I would pay the $700. He is unresponsive as usual. I am worried that a heavy wind or hurricane could cause damage and take out the power lines. Another smaller tree already fell a month ago and landed on the power line on my side. The power utility company came out and cleared that tree off the line. What would you do?

WWYD: a neighbor assumed that I called animal control…

Sorry this  is long and the details are necessary, but skip to the last two paragraph if you don’t want to read the details.

I have a huge issue with getting blamed for things that I did NOT do, which really send me into a depression. I have been blamed for things that were out of my control and not my fault so many times. For example my step dad who was abusive to me in EVERY WAY possible as a young girl.

Then when I was an adult and right before he died he did one last spiteful thing by telling his dysfunctional family that I intentionally broke a blade in a 15 year old HVAC unit to ensure that he would not be able to stay in his home that he had me house sitting in. Forget the fact that it was 30 degrees outside, so it was frigid inside the house too. Yeah, that made a lot of sense for me to do something like that; when it was an old unit that was never serviced and sleet hit one of the blades.

I tried to call him as I wanted to know why he was lying to everyone but I was blocked by his nephew who had started hanging around him as he knew he was dying, so he was looking to get some money before he died. There are so many instances of times that I have been blamed for things that I am not responsible for and I had absolutely nothing to do with by those who have wronged me.

The latest installment is a neighbor (husband, wife and kids) who have chickens, two roosters, a turkey, a Rottweiler and a Bull dog. We do NOT live in the country. It’s a large SFH community with many people living all around. The neighbors would leave their animals out and let them roam the street. Several neighbors complained about the chickens, roosters and turkey due to the poop they would leave in people’s yards.

Whenever their Rottweiller and Bulldog were out many people were nervous as both dogs would growl and bark at everyone. I used to courtesy text the wife when the dogs were out as I could see them on my security cameras. Kids were scared to walk to the bus stop. Apparently animal control had been to their home back in November 2025. I had no idea until recently when the wife sent me a long passive aggressive text that made no sense.

Animal control was in the community back in late May and I saw them several times as the animal control truck would drive down the street. I ended up calling the wife to try to get to the bottom of the weird text as she basically said I was “getting what I wanted, that they were moving being that animal control came and cited them about their bull dog being out.“ I told her that she was being passive aggressive and assumptive by sending me that text instead of trying to have a brief conversation, so I could figure out what she was talking about.

She talked over me and said she was being direct and I said not by sending me that confusing text, which was all assumption. Then she went to say that animal control came by and talked to the husband. She alleged that the officer showed him a photo of their dog off property, but then she clarified that it was not the bull dog, but the rottweiler.

Longer story short, they got served back in November 2025, but now Animal Control was back again in late May 2026 warning them to keep their dogs on their property and if they were caught off property they would be cited. I found that out when I called Animal Control and explained to them that I was being accused of reporting their dogs. The a.c. staff told me they I could request for all report and details, so I did.

There was no photo of the dogs, unless the animal control officer lied, but it is not in any of the details. The husband told the wife that the a.c. officer said that I was the one that reported the dogs. I saw the report that was filed and photos of the animal control notice tagged on their front door and a photo of their house that was taken by the a.c. officer when they were served them back in 11/2025. None of the report is tied to me as I did not call.

Initially I thought these neighbors were decent and again I would text the wife as a courtesy when their dogs were out as people are scared of their dogs. I tend to keep to myself, but I saw the husband gossiping with a neighbor and knowing that he doesn’t have any of the facts, I am feeling compelled to want to talk to him about it and try to resolve it. Or, at least state the facts and give him a copy of what I received from animal control when I requested all of the details.

Would you civilly talk with the husband who is the main person spreading the lies and provide him a copy of what you animal control has?????

This is the type of delusion that I have dealt with as a child. Never being able to assert any boundaries, express myself or be allowed to speak out when I was abused.

She should have went to prison along with her second husband for the abuse they inflicted on me.

My dad tried to get full custody and he honestly should have. He opted to divorce her after she pushed me into the corner of some bowling alley lockers when I was 6. I sustained a concussion and woke up in an ambulance. The front of my skull was busted, which affected my frontal lobe.

She never kept a copy of the medical report, so now as an adult who is dealing with memory loss, I’ve been trying to get a copy of the report from the army. Thank God my dad gave me my medical card from when I was a kid that has his social security number on it. Otherwise I would be out of luck with a sorry narcissistic person who was supposed to be a mother.

I’ve had no luck with the national personnel reports center or va. They cannot locate the medical report, so I’m S.O.L. I had a second traumatic brain injury when a girl in 4th grade decided to pull the chair out from behind me and it lead to busting the back of my skull and yet another concussion where I woke up in the hospital.

Between the traumatic brain injuries it affected my development and learning abilities. I was in special ed for awhile until the school felt they could put me in regular classes and even advanced classes.

I know I’m rambling, but there was just so much dysfunction that went on. That P.O.S. will not call me by my chosen name which is my middle name. She holds a grudge against my dad (who is my adopted dad and that P.O.S. is my adopted mother).

He has been dead since 2018. They have been divorced for over 30 years. They both moved on quickly to marry other people swiftly. Within a month of the divorce, they both remarried other people. So IDK why that bitter narcissist has never been able to move past her grudge against my dad. To the point that she will not call me by my chosen name. She will intentionally still call me by my first name which I absolutely hate. It reminds me of when my step dad was raping and calling me that name .

I live across from a woman who has 3 kids and her oldest child started having kids when she was about 15 years old. She is now 19 and she has 4 kids.

Everyone knows when the daughter is there as she lets her 4 kids run wild. They will be running down the middle of the street. The oldest one (who is 5 years old) and the other two will be half stumbling as they are toddlers. Then she has a newborn.

I’m not knocking that some people truly want kids and if a person can financially afford to. I know the financial aspect is only one part of raising kids, but let’s be real, raising kids Is expensive in this economy.

The eldest son of the woman across the street is about 12 years old. He has regularly asked if he could do any jobs for money. I’ve seen him walking with a lawn mower trying to earn money.

It’s good that he has the drive to want to earn money. I know it is probably a struggle between his younger brother and then his nephews that visit often. The mom is struggling financially and then the daughter is too.

I don’t grasp why family planning is not a priority, especially when the parent is struggling financially, and they are the custodial parent. Is it truly a generational curse? Or just piss poor planning?

They have two different breed of dogs. The rot is the larger dog. Animal control took a photo of their dog out previously. The wife initially tried to say that the animal control officer showed the husband a photo of the smaller dog, which is a bull dog.

She was not present, but she allegedly saId that the officer said I sent it to Animal Control the photo and then claimed that the animal control officer said my name, which is all false.

Then she corrected herself and said the photo was of the Rottweiler. She was being dramatic in her long winded text, which should have been a phone call to actually ask questions and have a discussion instead a passive aggressive accusatory text message that made no sense to me when I read it.

I called her and I civilly explained that I was home and I saw the animal control officer on my security cameras. He was there to talk to the neighbor who kept leaving her unaltered male cats outside to mate with other cats. I offered to three-way to animal control, so we could get to the bottom of her assumption.

For some reason she couldn’t stay on the phone, so I called animal control and the lady left her a voicemail that there was only a report from November of 2025, but there were no photos.

15 minutes later the neighbor calls me back after animal control was closed. She claims that the animal control officer said my name. I knew she was either confused or just outright lying. That report was from November 2025 and animal control said it was anonymous.

I know animal control was in the neighborhood for several days before they actually talked to the neighbor‘s boyfriend where the two unaltered cats were being left out.

Granted I know many would say call Animal Control about the dogs. I used to text them as a courtesy to tell them their dogs were out, or their chickens and turkey were out. Yes, they were that neighbor that would constantly leave their animals out to roam. They were nice, so I was trying to be neighborly by texting to alert them about their animals being out.

However, I have learned the lesson to keep to yourself and not to extend that type of courtesy, because it will lead to you being accused of calling animal control.

She/the wife pitched a whole fit of basically saying they were going to move because their dogs kept getting out and obviously someone hated them. It’s diabolical that this woman assumes she would be allowed for her dogs or chickens and turkey should be able to roam freely.

The neighbors behind them are fed up due to the roosters crowing at 4am every day. Yet I got accused. The community is a large SFH community and most people keep to themselves. I totally get why. I will not text or even exchange numbers with any other neighbor.

I did work things out with the neighbor who had the two unaltered male cats. Being that there are about 20 stray/feral cats on this street. We worked it out that she will be able to get her cats neutered.

ETA: Apologies for the typos.

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.
