Reply #14: A rich, retired dude moved across a backlot from my parents

[jobycom]

Not even on the same street. My father is a junk accumulator, and his yard is a mess with old cars and building supplies. There are four acres, so much of the junk is buried under and behind brush and trees.

So rich dude begins filing complaints against my father with the county for building code violations, unsafe living conditions (both complaints rejected, but after a lot of work). My parents had a very nice dollhouse moved onto the property for a grandkid, and rich dude filed a complaint because dad didn't get a permit (he didn't need one), then tried to get a petition in his neighborhood (again, not even on the same street as my father, whose lot backs up to the street rich dude's house faces. Also, dude can't see the junk or the house or any of the outbuildings from his lot--although the dollhouse is visible.). No one signed the petition, which wouldn't have had any validity anyway.

Next, dude began complaining about my parent's dog, who ran loose, as did most other dogs in the mostly rural neighborhood. Technically there was a leash law, so my parents had to contain the dog (a miniature Pinscher), who hated the leash so much he broke it and ran away to live with a neighbor.

Meanwhile, rich dude throws big family reunion parties, and his guests park on our back lot, with nary a complaint from my parents. My father, btw, is 70, and is only partially mobile because of a stroke, and is in constant pain from arthritis. He has lived in this house for 25 years, with the same basic yard habits he has now. So rich Bubba saw what he was moving into--or rather, what he was moving down the street from.

Oh yeah, and to paint a more complete picture of ruch dude, he has complained to several neighbors about a a trailer park that opened about two miles away. It's a nice lot, with maybe ten double-wides, all nicely maintained and each on at least a quarter of an acre, maybe larger. But rich dude has said that all those trailer families have too many kids and that the kids are all vandals who will trash his house and neighborhood.

It's a pity Katrina was so easy on his house.

Anyway, my opinion of anyone who worries about anything not on their own property is pretty low.
