Neighbors doing weird things, being annoying

Nothing wrong with being the asshole. Just sounds like the OP wasn’t asshole-enough. My neighbors learned that I’m one within a week of buying this house. It’s been a blissful 5+ years now of them leaving me the f alone.

A friend of mine lives in a subdivision. He had new neighbors move in next door. He went over and introduced himself. "Hi, I'm Sam, your nextdoor neighbor. I can be your best friend or I can be the biggest SOB you've ever known. The choice is yours."

What did they choose? :rolleyes:
 
After looking at it, besides being ugly, the only problem I foresee is the buried logs that made up my wall rotting at some point and the berm falling down. Major issue or so remote / far-off it doesnt matter? Obviously if I dig them out it probably falls anyway.

I think I like the idea of shooting into it best. If the PA neighbor has a problem with it? Well, have I got a bad neighbor story for him!

Since I missed out again on the firebowl thread I am going to use this sunken in part of my yard close to his yard as a firepit and burn the whole brushpile / everything else I can find until the hole fills in. Hopefully the wind blows his way (this is about as asshole as I can manage).

Just make sure you follow the laws on shooting in your yard. It's different from county to county. I think mine says something about not shooting from within 100 yards of a residence or having a bullet be expected to land within 200 yards from a residence without the residence owner's written permission.
Fortunately before I even moved in my neighbors said "yeah, go ahead and shoot into the trees, nobody cares and no bullet is getting far through them" so it hasn't been an issue.

Meanwhile back up in MI, I had an argument with the police over what "reasonable precautions" means about making sure a pellet rifle didn't shoot past my fence when the lady 2 houses down called and complained, even though there was another neighbor in between us who didn't care at all.
 
Funny enough, around here I thought it was 700 yards. Back on July 4th I asked another neighbor (good guy) about it because someone at the end of our road was doing magdumps at their family BBQ. They said "yeah I called the county about that one time and they said it was perfectly fine."

I would call them myself of course just in case, but it seems around here its pretty lax outside the city limits (Iredell).

(actually this would have been a couple years ago, not this past 4th)

"Cool. I can be an SOB, too. Get off my property before I make you. Cheers."
Closes door.

Back half of my property is wooded. Neighbor behind me keeps clearing a little at a time to expand his yard. I’m about to introduce him to barbed wire.

If he is clearing your property wait till he cuts down a tree and introduce him to "double stumpage".
