(sigh) had to yell at {edited} neighbor at milking time

I swear....

The jerk, creep was setting off fire crackers in his yard (illegal here in Maine) while I was milking my goats about 50 ft away....goat dance!

I run out and see that he has thrown at the back end of the plow truck which has a gas tank held up by rope and leaks (they bought it from us as is with full knowledge of the tank issues).....Held my breath....when the cracking stopped I yelled "HEY! I'm trying to milk my goats and you're making them {edited} jumpy"

I called my husband....who is also in the jerk category tonight...DH says " Don't pee him off" Well I said "a person can only live with so much and frankly my dear I don't give a darn" DH means what?

Here's the rest of the story...

Revisited: my neighbor's brother --the sex offender

Sorry Angie!

I'm just madder than a wet hen...

that's okay - it's a seldom occurance and sometimes we do get that angry.

Sorry you have challenging people that live near you (neighbor definition doesn't seem to apply here).

I think someone needs a lesson in manners. Perhaps some 3.5 inch magnum turkey loads need to be patterned near the property line for good measure.

Or perhaps the allusion that things can happen that might look like an accident that cause the annoying neighbors' house to go up in flames.

No, I am not saying do it in reality, but make it an implied observation that good manners might prevent unintended consequences.

A few years ago I had a problem with the neighbor kids shooting squirrels in my yard with BB guns. Me and a neighbor who was also having problems with BBs hitting his house, went over and spoke to their parents. They stopped for a couple weeks and started back up again. This was more than I could stand. I got my Winchester .44 mag rifle and blew the squirrel in half about 50' from where were standing. That was the last time I saw the BB guns.

This year I had a problem with them shooting bottle rockets at my house. I did recently find a solution to this type of problem:

For those of us who are video challenged (dial up), what was it??!
Mpillow, I feel your pain. With us it is mostly "hunters" who I feel obligated to chase off. DH thinks I'm nuts. They are either getting sneakier or it just doesn't happen much anymore....guess I don't mind being called a ..... it seems to have worked.
