If you figure it out, let me know. I am there as well...

I find when I am angry I have to figure out who am I angry at...a lot of times it is myself. LOL for having lost my temper or putting the anger on someone else when actually it is me who has to change.

I think anger comes from frustration, like pushing against a giant rock that won't budge...I just keep pushing and pushing. And getting angrier and angrier...and more and more frustrated...

See what the rock is that you are trying to budge...does it have to be moved at all???

Someone said a while back, it was bejeweled I think, that you can only be responsible for your side of the street. I think that really hit home with me. I have to identify what is my problem, and what is someone else's problem. The rock may be someone elses' problem.

Well, someone suggest throwing milk at the culprit in a different post.....I liked that one.

lol!

I like having the argument in my head so that when the argument actually happens I am completely ready to kill them with my overwhelming rightness. There is NOTHING they can say.

Now depending on the injury I may need to take more drastic measures - I am a great one for revenge.

The "book" advice is that "this too shall pass", breath deeply in and out, count to ten.

If that doesn't work, drive to their job and make a huge scene. Don't leave until the police show up and remove you.

BEJEWELED!YOU FREAKIN' KILL ME!!!!!!!!!!!I would like to friggin' chuck a gallon of milk at her & her precious lil car. It would MAKE my day!OMG!I don't think I can stop at 10, I am going to have to count to a buhzillion.

I don't need to drive to their job, I can just make a scene in my yard LMAO!I cannot stand my neighbors. It's awful. My daughter, niece, and her friend was swimming in the pool out back. The teens were throwing fire crackers over the fence INTO the pool!One hit my daughter in the back. I opened the door to check on them & at the same time one hit the water and i hurt a blurp sound. I was like "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME". After all the harrasment crap, they were supposed to be leaving my lil one alone!My niece dug the firecrackers out of the pool & gave them to me. I marched next door, and the mother was coming out. I asked her if her children wanted their firecrackers back. She said 'do they want their firecrackers back?All confused. And I repeated it again. She said what are you talking about. And I told her what they were doing. I said they are throwing them into my swimming pool while my children are playing, one of them hit my daughter in the back!!She said that my son was throwing fire works at her sons truck. I told her it was bullshit. I was outside, he was getting to close to the vehicles and I told him to move away. That was that. I asked him about it and he started crying, he was like NOOO I didnt. That is how I no he isn't lying. If he truely doesn't do something he just starts bawling because he doesn't like being accused of things he didn't do!I no he wouldn't do something like that anyways.So, she told me that he was teasing and taunting her son..He is like 16-17, my son is 11?He wasnt even out there when all that happend?I was like whatever!She said, your son better watch it because my son is going to beat the crap out of him and he is going to be sorry one of these days. I told her if one of the fireworks hurt my children I was going to be PISSED. She said same goes for my vehicles. I was like give me a fuckin break, a car can be fixed. Your kids are throwing firecrackers at human beings, living breathing?????OH I WAS PISSED. I was done, I said what I had to say. I walked off, and she said, Oh, one more thing..You should think about fixing YOUR side of my fence. (there is wild ivy and vines growing all over the place) I turned around and I told her I didn't plant the fuckin shit, I wasn't getting rid of it. She stuttered because she didn't expect me to say what I did I guess. She said well, uh, umm, you didnt plant that ivy?I was like why would I do that??(its everywhere, there is NO getting rid of it. If she was nicer, and her kids weren't so god awful, I would be more complient to what she wanted..Im not doing anything until I am MADE!She said well, I guess we will be seeing you in court about that then. I said take me to court I dont give a crap????I called my lawyer and told her what she said about her son kicking the crap out my son and he will be sorry one of these days, he said that is a threat. I just couldn't believe that I had a TRUE case against her son commiting the crime against my daughter & I didn't do anything about it. And she is threatening to take ME to freakin court over weeeds growing on a fence?Give me a break?!!!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH. WOW. Then all that fuss about fireworks and staying away from her cars. Her kids were being so irresponsible. Bottle rockets are illegal in our state. There was over 20 kids playing bottle rocket tag. Then they were throwing the artillary shells instead of putting them into the tubes? They were acting like they were bombs and the sparks would just shoot like bombs. They started throwing crap in our yard and by our cars.. I jumped up and looked and one of the kids said every body over this way..I told them I was getting ready to call the cops and someone else already did. Then the freakin cop stopped for a 1/2 second and said 'you cant shoot bottle rockets' and i yelled at the cop and told him that the kids needed to be talked to I was sooo pissed. They get away with EVERYTHING. He had an attitude because. He said well, I don't no to talk to them if I don't no whats going on. I was like welll?You cant just do a drive by and then just drive off in 1/2 a second??STUPID. I told them what they were doing, he backed up and got out of his car..I was like OMFREAKIN GOD its a miracle he got out of his car!!!!!!!!!Lets throw a donut party for him!!!!!!!!!!!IF bottle rockets are illegal, shouldnt he be taking them away from the under age children???????OK, PHEW, I am angry!

LOL! LOL!! Everytime they do something stupid, call the police.

When those firecrackers landed in your pool - you should have called the police that INSTANT. I would have beat that mom's ass and backhanded both the kids!

I'll PM you fun things you can do to piss them off. It involves roadkill. LOL

oh, and feel free to post on annoyingneighbors.com LOL!

Give all your kids, and their friends, and the friends friends whistles, and horns and have them clang pots and pans and sing stupid songs as loud as they can! Just make sure they are on YOUR side of the fence! LOL

I had the worst neighbors once. I lived in a house with three apartments. These people moved in next door that were just scumbag, hillbilly, Hamms drinking HICKS! OMG! They were the worse. They would get drunk and fight - knock down drag out for HOURS! I would get NO sleep and it scared the hell out of my daughter. I'd call the police and they'd be right back at it as soon as they were gone.

Guess where the water main was?

That's right. In MY apartment. So I would wait until they got into the shower, given them a few minutes to get the shampoo on. And then SHUT OFF THE WATER. LOL LOL LOL!

It NEVER got old. I loved it. The owner of the house called me to ask if I was having any problems with the water after a couple of weeks and I said "No, why?" LOL LOL

It still makes me laugh thinking about it. They eventually got evicted for not paying their rent.

thank god you got that off your chest, amber. i think if you hadn't, you might certainly have exploded...lol...i know this is terrible to say when you're so mad, but your description of the whole thing had me laughing up a storm. that having been said, firecrakers are nothing to mess with and bejeweled is right-call the cops every time they start with the firecrackers. tell your kids horror stories about people getting arms and legs blown off with them so they never touch them and can never be to blame...lol.

good luck.
