Complete this sentence with what you want to say to your neighbor, but won't.

Here is mine: Dear Neighbor, if we don't answer the phone please don't drive down here to see if we are home. We are, we are just ditching you due to your constant neediness.

Is this the same neighbor? Not so Marthastewarty, if it is her. Maybe this is why the kid screams all the time.

Nope, different neighbor. This is the one that thinks leaving all her kids in the backyard all day with no supervision is fine parenting. Scratchchin Maybe I should ask Martha Jr. to go have a talk with her.

Great idea. Doesn't sound like you could actually catch the mother when she is awake though. Maybe just send the little one over to Martha's for a day and see if the mom notices?

Dear Neighbor,

I realize you're old, widowed and lonely. However, I also know that you have a ton of friends as well as 3 grown children who live in the area. Therefore, I would really prefer that you call THEM instead of ME every time you want to chat or go to lunch or coffee. It's gotten to the point where I'm afraid to open my front door in case you see me. I don't know how many times I can say "no" gracefully without hurting your feelings, but quite honestly, I barely have enough time for my husband and children as it is. You're beginning to make me feel really, really guilty, which is beginning to make me feel really, really resentful. Eventually, I think I'm going to have to burn your house down just to make you move. This has been going on now for over 3 years, and quite frankly, I find you more annoying every time I see you.

Dear Neighbor:

Please, give up the hopes and dreams of being a professional drummer. All the practice for the last year and half has done little to improve. And when you play with your garage door up it echos through the neighborhood.

Dear other Neighbor: We could care less what you pick up in your trash runs. I really don't want to hear about all the stuff you see on your daily job as a trash collector. I also don't want to hear about my husband being so tired that he shouldn't be playing with my son out in the backyard. We both have jobs, and I don't appreciate your innuendos that the wife/woman should be the primary caretaker of the children. Get a ticket to the 21st century!

Dear Neighbor,

I know it was so exciting when we had the pool put in, and you all came out to watch it come hovering over the house on the crane. I know we talked and laughed and I assured you that you would all be welcome to come over and swim when the temperatures go into the high 90's in the summer.

Why did you have to ruin it by posting a note on my truck and calling the police to try to have it towed, when it was parked legally?

Yes, I know your handwriting.

No, you'll never be invited to my pool.

Are you serious? Your neighbors had you towed?



Dear Neighbor,

The front yard of our building is not an ashtray. We live on a nice street, and your choice to leave the butt of every farking cigarette you smoke in the front yard makes it look like third-rate trash lives here. Get back in your busted-up Cavalier with the whiskey plates and get the fark out of my building.

dear neighbor,

every single day you leave your house and your 2 dogs are left at home, alone, barking constantly. all i hear is their yippy, high pitch barking and it's driving me insane. if it doesnt stop, one of these days i'll snap. maybe if you didnt lock them up in the garage, they wouldnt do that.

signed,
very annoyed by your yip yappy dogs

Yup, they tried. I bought a brand new truck and I used to drive a lifted 4 wheeler. I drove it periodically, but it was parked on the street in front of my house. They put a note on it telling me to move it because it was an eyesore, then when I didn't, they called enforcement, who marked the tires with chalk to make sure I was moving it and driving it.

No pool for them. And it's not as if I have that ugly of a vehicle, or the neighborhood is all that nice.

Dear neighbor,

I belong to this forum where people write letters to their neighbors... the problem is, I think half the neighbors are right and some of my fellow forum members are buttheads. Just wanted you to know. How are the kids?

laugh out loud He moved back into his mother's empty house right across the street a ways. I guess they were going door to door last week looking for some escape goats of theirs.

Dear Neighbor,
Please keep your kids at home. I don't like them coming over every saturday and sunday at 9 am to play with my kids. Sometimes they don't feel like going over there and just want to play at home without you.
