Teach me how to deal with my neighbour

Hi all, I live in Richmond, BC. After having my red car stored in the garage for the whole winter, thought I would take it out for a spin today. I pulled the car out from the garage, closed the garage door and pulled the car out to the driveway and closed the gate. I usually wait for the gate to be closed completely before I drive away. While I was waiting for the gate to be closed, my next door neighbour came to me and said I was killing the environment by having my idling at the driveway. I said to her I was only waiting for the gate to be closed and it would only take 10 sec. Then she started giving me a whole lecture abt how ppl kill the enviroment and people shouldn't be driving and blah blah blah....This is not the first time. Last time I took my red car out, she came to me and complained abt my exhaust was too loud. I said to her my exhaust was stock. Then again, she was lecturing me abt the enviroment. I really don't know how to deal with her. It's like I can't drive my car anymore. Did any of your neighbour complain abt your car? How do u deal with them?

 

Bury her under the roses. Excellent fertilizer.

 

I'd rejet it richer and take the cats off.

 

Why do you even tolerate her?

 

Tell her to **** off

 

I hate preachy SOBs like that. Jealous, inadequate fools.

 

What else I can do? She is an old lady in her 60's.

 

And?

Age doesn't exempt one from manners.

 

Is this thing on?

 

Funny thing is....you have multiple exotics on your street. I'll make sure to bring my car over soon

 

Ok, we will make her come out and have her to lecture u.

 

I had the same problem when I first moved to the Metrotown area. An older ex-military gentleman wanted to control the street parking and said that I cant park my truck as he had been parking in front of my house since the 70's. I didn't argue until he started lecturing me about petty things (like cutting my hair, trimming my sideburns, etc.) until one day I asked him if I could invite him to go to church with me. He asked where and when, I told him that the first full moon was in a few days and that the congregation just purchased a "live goat" for the offering! I asked him to wear only black or dark hooded clothing for the ritual. That was the last time I saw and heard of him. Oh and he never parks in front of my house too!

 

Tell her that your car is emission certified by the province and that is why you have a BC plate on it.........then suggest that she have the emissions from her mouth checked and that she has enough room on her ass for a plate if she passes.

 

Next time just burn some gas and keep it in high revs for a while.
She might scream at you but you won't hear her...

 

Try this one next time around.

Tell her that since she is in her 60s plus, and im assuming you are in your 30s ? Ask her how many garbage bags she has thrwon in landfills until recently compared to what you have done and she has be worse. If this doesnt work, simply tell her that she wont have to worry about the environment cause she wont see the end of time anyway.

FWIW :

I have had the my TR with Borla exhaust since day one, my neighbour across the street was the same...they only did it 2 times to me to complain. I then proceeded to use the TR on Sat and Sun mornings at about 6am ( i was childless at the time mind you)....and it drove them nuts one entire summer....they actually complained more to me (weekly), and called the cops on me 2 times....but i continued my journey, sometimes even going at 5:30 am. (BTW, i told the cops i used the car for work )........within the year, they sold there house. Now i have had the same neighbours across the street for 8 yrs or so, never start the car at 6am either anymore
It all works out in the end eventually

 

You RULE

 

tell people what i tell them when they complain about my smoking*...you're entitled to your opinion i just happen to not give a **** about it.


*i know smoking is gross

 

Tell her to cut you some slack cause she'll soon be going to a "better place" anyways. Sooner if she doesn't quit bustin' your balls!

 

What I would do is look her right in the eyes and say the magic words: "shut the **** up"

 

My wife was so proud of me too!

 

Shut the French Connection United Kingdom up?

 

LOL!!!

 

You sooo bet me to it.

 

could tell her you're carbon neutral; means nothing and and will likely shut her up.

 

exactly make her confused
