My friends recently moved in to. Beautiful house this past December and the neighbors to one side have been calling the cops nonstop for tiny shit that isn't even worth calling for such as.. living. They think any of us that visit are hauling ass past their house because our trucks are loud. Not obnoxious loud but what do u expect when a truck is going up a steep hill? They've literally ran out to the road screaming at me for driving 20mph which is 5 below the limit. I've given up and neutral drop every time I pass now.

Don't break your drivetrain doing neutral drops now.

I always go by 10pm to 6am it should be quiet-basic common courtesy. 730? And over a dog barking? They need to move out of the neighborhood and buy land if that bothers them.

We have a similar problem with the jerks who moved in next to our private shooting range. They'd bitch and call the cops when we had our night matches. Here in PA they don't have a leg to stand on. The club was there 1st, and there are laws against harassing shooting clubs for noise.

 

Of course, shooting my cannon doesn't help.

This is actually kinda sad.

 

I wonder if some people are even interested being a' good neighbor' and if they actually realize that there are always two sides to the story.

 

Both sides are important. No neighbor should think he's the one who's right.

 

As for me I am a really quiet person, I like it clean and organized and try to be a so called 'good neighbor'.

I believe that 'this one neighbor' of mine like anybody else thought about himself so too.

 

As I said, I am really quiet, trying not to p.ss anyone off.

My neighbor though didn't really feel like being quiet and (just an example) used to play his electric guitar regulary on a Sunday morning no matter what time it was.

 

So being a working person waiting for the weekend to come to get some sleep I had a difficult time, so had my husband (working 24/7) and my daughter (high school student in her final year).

 

Asking him to be a bit more understanding he said he can do whatever he likes and that was it.

 

Since we're renting at that point I asked my Landlady for help and she wasn't too happy about the situation.

She tried to deal with it but again he wouldn't listen.

 

So when I read some of the posts I had to laugh a bit because:

I asked my LL if I could go just down to my neighbors and knock on their door asking them to not play guitar at 7am on a Sunday morning. And she said 'Omg, don't do that. That would be an invasion!' WTH? Invasion?

 

The fatcs are:

I/we really needed some quiet time. My neighbor needed (obviously) to play guitar no matter what and my LL couldn't do anything about it.

 

Great.

 

If I would have known that he's got a gun (like some of you guys) how am I supposed to deal with that?

 

These days way too many people are all about their rights and they do whatever it takes to p.ss others off just for fun BUT do not realize that there could be a simple solution for everyone. Having fun & being a good neighbor.

 

I do not want to be too scared to ask my neighbor if he could do or not do something. I do not want my neighbor to get back at me just because.

 

Why would someone think it's a good idea to get back at the neighbor(s) over and over again.

 

If you don't want me to call an officer or the city then work with me. Be a neighbor.

 

I know very well that I have to deal with noise and that it's called living. That's just fine.

But don't be a sh.itty person and expect me to give in just because you think you're the one who's is right.

 

There is no right. There is no wrong. We can get along better when we think about the others around us.

 

I have lived in many places and at the end of the day we all want the same. Don't we?

 

...yeah go ahead and show your neighbors what a tough person you are. What's the point? There is non, except you like to p.ss someone off because you can.
Get a life.

 

I love neighbors because I can enjoy a good BBQ, chat or have coffee and ask for help or even offer help.

That's the real fun - in my eyes.

...looking back I remember being told to move 'if I don't like it'.

 

So question is who is supposed to move? Do I have to move into the woods because I don't like the noise in the morning? Or should my neighbor move into the woods so he can play whenever he wants to?

 

I've been asked to tolerate pot smoking neighbors. I've been told that's just the way we live, that's just the way it is around here.

And yes that's true. I agree.

 

But sometimes I feel like I have to tolerate everything. Even if it means I cannot open my windows for fresh air because I have to deal with the (in that case) pot smoke (which I find disgusting).

 

The best I can do is to watch out and think twice. Is the TV louder than usual because of Grandma or because of some teenager. My guess is that I'll tolerate Grandma's noise more than the one from the teenagers. Just because they could/should know better.

 

Okay, gone now :)

This statement confounds me. I guess you think every gun owner pulls their gun on people who knock on their door?

I don't feel that every gun owner pulls their gun on people that knock on their door, and I completely agree with her statement.

 

Why? Because I believe that any self-righteous, over-entitled loudmouth that espouses how everything is "their right" to do poses a significantly high risk of being ignorant enough to believe that brandishing a weapon at someone at their door that is asking them to understand that they are disturbing their neighbor is ALSO their right. Even if they DON'T escalate right over the line and discharge that weapon at that point, they've still shown that there is an absolute lack of reasonability on their part.

SnakeEyes,

 

I am sorry for not being clear!

 

It was stated by someone that he hates it when people do not try to solve an issue. And I totally agree, I know exactly where he's coming from. Sometimes it's just not as easy as it seems.

 

I can assure you that I don't think that every gun/weapon owner would pull the trigger the moment I knock on their door. That's not what I meant.

 

The twist is, at least for me that I prefer to get things off the table, if possible having a beer afterwards. But I don't know if the other person feels the same. My neighbor wasn't that kind of person. (Not saying he is a bad person though!!)

 

The reality is that nowadays some people feel offened right away or seem to have some sort of need to protect 'theirs'. People react different than they did 25 years ago, kind of overreacting - that is my expierence.

 

As soon as my LL said don't do that it's an invasion I felt pretty much helpless.

 

So put this together:

 

I got a 'noisy' neighbor. As a good neighbor I am supposed to talk in person to my neighbor. My LL basically says No. Some people have weapons and do use them (please don't tell me about the rights of having a weapon - thats not my issue!!).

 

What's my option?

 

By the way... we also had a neighbor across the street who did shoot ...he was upset at his girlfriend and he just shot - they picked him up the next morning. :(

 

I believe that a lot of weapon owners are good people. I'm still scared of the ones with a short temper :)

 

cheers!!

No offense, but sounds like you might need to move. If you have guitar playing pot smoking neighbors and you don't like to get high or jam with them, you're in for a world of hurt.

 

You can't win every battle nor solve every problem. Your LL isn't giving you good advice. If you walk over with a 6 pack and a joint, I bet you can work something out.

    • Holy s**t - not much of a parts thrower you say? You BLASTED that thing with the parts cannon!  You'd have been probably $1,000 ahead if you had just brought it to a competent shop rather than shotgunning a bunch of parts it clearly didn't need.   Just FYI - oil additives are really, REALLY good at ONE thing ... and that's emptying your wallet. They're ALL useless gimmicks.   If that has the L94 or L99, then #7 is an AFM cylinder. I'd suspect a failed lifter in that case.   If you leaned on wiring, sensors, and/or connectors while changing the oil, you'll have to check all that to be sure pins didn't get pulled out, connectors broken, etc.. Old wire loom that was barely adequate when new is certainly brittle by year 19 - make sure wires aren't chaffed and shorting out somewhere where you might have leaned. or supported yourself on it.   If your a mechanic, why didn't you just find out what you were missing and troubleshoot from there??  TIMED spark, fuel PSI / injector pulse, air, compression.  Can't make ANY money going the parts cannon route.
    • LOL! Are you joking?? That wax SUCKS! 100% gimmick made to "look" good.    After just TWO winters I had severe surface rusting in patches over 90% of the frame. Only reason it looks great in the pics is because I SATURATED the frame every single fall with used motor oil for 14 of the 16 years I owned it. Otherwise it would've been sent to the crusher 8 years earlier with the speed it was rusting prior!    I sold that POS 3 years ago. Was a gigantic headache the second it rolled off the showroom floor. Brakes pulsated on the TEST DRIVE. Door trim fell off the 1st week! Interior squeaked and rattled, and the drivetrain clunked after 2k miles. 4x4 switch failed shortly after. Front end - ball joints, struts, hub bearings - all failed between 38k-50k. Engine started burning oil at 50k. Rear and and transmission failed before 100k. Nothing but problems, and frustration with the piss-poor engineering designed to make you give up. Well, it worked! Nothing on that truck was easy to remove ... except the wheels. They haven't figured out how to screw that up yet. Give 'em time ...   I won't make that mistake again. EVER.   Such fond memories ... https://postimg.cc/K1qf23tS  https://postimg.cc/gallery/X02z64J  https://postimg.cc/gallery/mHSRXZv  https://postimg.cc/gallery/D4mMRfL
    • Different monitors do their test only under conditions specific to that monitor.  you MIGHT find the drive cycle conditions for the monitor that isn't ready on this site: https://lemon-manuals.la/   If it's not there, then it should be on alldata.com for your truck, but it requires a paid subscription.   And you need to know which specific monitor isn't ready.
    • from another thread   Update...although the truck sometimes seems to idle weird and the transmission shift a little weird, I've driven about 7,000  miles and no issues.   However, the way GM has handled my rental reimbursement, the situation when my truck quit, and the recall in general has led me to this point...I have driven a GM vehicle for the past 46 years and unless I buy a C3 Corvette, this is the last GM vehicle I will ever own.
