So a neighbor is making bullshit complaints to police and the home owner's association that started with one reasonable complaint, which we immediately addressed, but have now expanded to a shitload of unreasonable shit beyond our control, half-truths, and blatant falsehoods. And it looks like it's working. We're being asked to get rid of the dog we got a few months ago to help our 7 year old with serious mental health issues, and I fear it won't stop at that because they're complaining about our kids too. And we can't afford to move.
So fucking tired of petty bullshit. All day every day. Surrounded by people who have nothing better to do with their lives than complain about petty bullshit and make things miserable for each other. And it's almost entirely old people. I'm to the point where I feel like 90% of the world's problems could be solved by wiping out anyone over the age of 45. I know that's a horrible thought, but god fucking damnit almost everyone I know beyond that age seems like they exist to project misery on everyone around them. And they've built up a society that's being suffocated by rules which enable them to do so.
I already spend the majority of my time at work making sure everything I do is documented, so I'm always able to potentially defend myself. Now I have to do it at home, too. I don't want to live on this planet anymore :[
Oh screw that. What, do they expect you to get rid of the kids too?
I'm so sorry to hear this. Both sides of my family live in suburban HOA-type neighborhoods, and they get stupid comments about growing edible plants and wildflowers on the property, not trimming the shrubs and trees in ways the neighbors approve of, and other petty crap like that. It really is like high school all over, but with dissatisfied white collar workers and retirees instead of teens. Your neighbor is a whole different tier of shitty, though. If you can, fight it. I don't have experience there, but I'm sure there's people out there who can help. I hope you don't have to move, but if it would improve your quality of life (and it sounds like it would), that might be something to look into long-term. I hope standing up to that horsecrap is an option though, because there's no reason they should get away with it.
Obnoxious assholes who lash out at anyone they can because they're unhappy are my least favorite kinds of people. Shit like that deserves swift justice.
P.S. If you move to Toronto and need a renter for a room, hit me up. I'm moving toward the end of the year, and leaving the country is looking more appealing every day. ><;
