My crazy neighbor

I believe that calls for a "beat down" of said neighbor.. That would majorly piss me off. Unless my kid was skateboarding on her car or something similar.

 

Just a guess, but I'd think the first step is to find out if there are any city regulations regulating skateboarding, and also check out the 'disturbing the peace' regulations. Once you know the actual written rules you'll be on firmer ground. A restraining order is an option, but at least here they're only issued in relation to a civil suit (a protective order can be issued in the event of family violence concerns).

Google shows that what you want is a Civil Harassment Restraining Order. See http://www.courtinfo.ca.gov/selfhelp/protection/civharassform.htm

 

Get your wife to smack that ***** down.

I hate people like that. I remember seeing a 20/20 specials like 10+ years ago on some lady who has a record of suing everyone over everything. She was suing her neighbors, because their kids basketball playing (during the middle of the day mind you) was causing her mental and physical distress.

I still have yet to figure out why skateboarding is still so frowned upon by law enforcement.

 

get an old skateboard wait until she goes out then throw it through her front window.

 

haha yeah, i was thinking the same thing.

 

I would go have a chat with the neighbor. Be polite but firm. Probably, it's going to disintegrate into a pissing match but if you can keep it intelligent and reasonable then that's the best way.

Before you complain about her yelling at your daughter, find out from her what her beef is. If it's just 'skateboarding', then find out WHY it bothers her? I can tell you at my office we have kids skateboarding and biking in the parking lot, and I usually shoo them away. Not because I am a cold hearted ****** (even though I am), but around 3-4pm is when the kids all come by and that's right when we have delivery trucks zipping around the building. Maybe this lady thought she was in danger or maybe she was doing something she shouldn't have been like bouncing off doorsteps or cars or something?

Find out the rules and inform the lady of them also (assuming your kid is allowed to skateboard). If the lady doesn't "get it", then let her know you'll thank her to not verbally harass your daughter in the future, and should she have any concerns to call you FIRST. Try it that way but if it does degenerate into a shouting match just tell her to STFU and back off and then go get a restraining order on her.

Don't tell her you are getting a RO and don't tell her you will get one "next time" because I damn well guarantee you she will go get one first then you're screwed. Don't threaten it, just do it - assuming the mature, reasoned out discussion doesn't work.



Or just knock on the door and when she answers, kick her in the gunt.

If some old hag was harassing my daughter I'd be in her face with the quickness, but that's me and I have a wicked temper.

 

what language did she speak..........racist. lol lol lol

 

Where's the snipers?

 

Just inform your neighbor that if she wants to have any chance of selling her place, she better make nice. Otherwise youll make sure that any prospective buyers coming to look will never want to move next to "the crazy guy next door."

 

how about renting a half pipe and have a skateboard party for all the kids in the neighborhood. get a few other parents involved. when nutso sees she's outnumbered she'll shrink back to her hole. we live on a cul de sac where the kids get together to skate and ride bikes. the parents are happy to have them safe and where we can all keep an eye on them. we had a similar proplem with the old biddy next door. the skate party shut her right up. especially when the sheriff put up the traffic cones to block the street.
