do you have a rotten neighbor?

i have pretty decent neighbors.  wait, let's go back. 

before we had a kid, i had atleast one rotten neighbor.  this neighbor would call the cops on us when we had friends over.  no lie - even when i only had 8 people at my house playing poker around my kitchen table on a quiet summer night - crazyness.  at the time i worked at the sheriff's office, so it was rather embarrassing.  i mean, this person was so smart they didn't even call into dispatch - they called the local number to the police so i couldn't figure out who they were.  sneaky little devil.  since having a kid they've stopped calling the cops on us.  mainly that's because we haven't had any crazy-stay-up-all-night-and-let-the-tunes-crank-while-sliding-down-the-slip'n'slide parties since the little dude entered the picture. 

so now, the neighbors are okay.  we don't bother them, they don't bother us.  well, with the exception of hubert (kidding, kidding). 

anyways, the point of this post is, if you have a rotten neighbor and you want to let everyone know to be on the lookout or if you are thinking of moving and don't want to acquire a rotten neighbor with the new digs, check this out.  luckily, there are not any rotten neighbors in my neck of the woods - yet!  :)

that is pretty good. we have a rotten neighbor. just ONE. the rest are great. just so happens that the rotten one is closest to us. great. let me list for you since i always love to vent about my rotten neighbor:

1) he (they) have called the cops when we were out burning our cardboard (NOT GARBAGE) which they reported... the officer pulled up and got out of his car - first thing he asks - "do you folks have problems with any of your neighbors?" HA HA!

2) their dog bit my son. they came over and when they were explaining what happened said this phrase: "we said if this ever happened again we would put him down" - WTF!!! EVER HAPPENED AGAIN?? why was this dog out running with children if this was a potential risk?

3) when we first moved in the dude came over constantly when we were outside - beer in each hand, drunk, and there was no way to get rid of him except go in the house and stay there.

4) they said they left their LAST place because of "trouble with the neighbors".... hmmm.....
