When you move into a new place, and your new neighbor knocks on your door, that is a defining moment that usually allows you to determine how your neighborly relationship is going to look for as long as either of you lives in that neighborhood.

If you're lucky, you exchange a couple of friendly words and are done with it. Those who aren't that lucky get a glimpse into the depth of the trouble they just moved into. The neighbor in the story below thought they got the former option, only for a later interaction to reveal that it's actually the latter.

Their initial interaction with their neighbor was rather friendly. He offered to clean out their lawns and seemed like a nice guy. Then, they found out that he lets his dog out without supervision, which they didn't love. But the final confirmation that this neighbor is trouble was when he confronted them for reporting him to animal control… when they didn't do such a thing.

This situation only escalated when they claimed he shouldn't confront people for things they didn't do, especially when he is in the wrong.

  • You dont mind if I do yours do you" Im like hell no go ahead thanks appreciate it.

  • I thought it was weird how he worded it to me. Like he does everyone's because it makes the street look nice, so ill be doing yours too.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I was totally fine with it. Make it look nice great thanks whatever. Then it got weird.

  • This guy has an older golden retriever. Every morning, afternoon and evening he would open his front door and tell the dog "go do your business get going".
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • The dog would pick a neighbors yard and take a on it or whatever and off it would go.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I caught the dog do this to mine 2 different times. I planned on chatting to him next time I saw him.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I was at work and I came home and my wife was like "ok so our neighbor is a lunatic.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I was outside digging weeds and he came walking up the driveway and said why did we call animal control on him.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • He's been there for 10 years and nobody has had a problem with his dog running all over the neighborhood.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • He is the neighborhood dog" My wife was like huh we didnt call anyone on you and he responded like he didnt believe it and then went to say how he was friends with the mayor and this and that.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • So I was pretty pissed that this guy thought he would come onto our property and try and intimidate my wife.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • Hes a big rough looking dude too. I also thought he had some nerve to confront ANYONE when he was completely in the wrong So sure enough one day im out raking the front lawn and he walks over to me and says something jokingly.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I look at the guy and continue raking. Total cold shoulder. Then he starts telling me hes buddies with the mayor.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • This is a hamlet of about 500 people. Being buddies with the mayor is not impressive at all.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • My response is pretty much not impressed with his bragging. I said, next time you shouldnt approach a female all alone and accuse her of something.

  • He is like oh man im sorry I found out it was the other new neighbor.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I said yeah but you shouldnt be upset, its not ok your dog ss all over the S neighborhood.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I say, you shouldnt approach people accuse them or things especially when you are in the wrong.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • He says nothing and walks away. He stopped cleaning our ditch lol and kind of give me half dirty looks and stopped saying hello to me.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • This doesnt phase me at all. I do not give a fuck if some neighbor doesnt like me when they are in the wrong.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I think the problem is solved. Doesnt seem to let the dog out anymore. Look I dont want to fight with neighbors.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I live here. I dont need the s. This is my sanctuary where I come home and enjoy my life and family.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • But I also need to protect my home and family. You cant be walking up on my wife like that.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • Im not sure about these weird subtle brags about the mayor though. They kind of seemed like weird threats.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • There is nothing a mayor can do to anyone right? Just kind of wondering if there is anything I should pay attention to or watch out for.
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • I dont want to get a bylaw fine and that type of stuff
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • Ok_Example1664 I would get a ring camera in case he tries something but I would have done the same thing
    via Ok_Example1664
  • OP Worth_Air_9410 I do have one and it actually does have a great view of the entire front yard
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • lylewr Thats great you are friends with the mayor My cousin is the governor
    via lylewr
  • OP Worth_Air_9410 haha yeah I should have said something like that. Oh ya well I know the ninja turtles buddy
    via Worth_Air_9410
  • RunNo599 Sounds like you handled the situation well and got what you wanted, hes leaving you alone.
    via RunNo599
  • Dangerous-Refuse-779 When he said he knows the mayor you should have said I know batman!
    via Dangerous-Refuse-779
  • Glittering_Web_9997 The mayor is buddies with a whole lot of people, that's how he got elected! Just saying your blow hard neighbor may not be so special if you ask the mayor. Mayors don't have tons of authority to let buddies violate the ordinances and laws. That maybe why the dog is scarce and the neighbor is keeping to himself.
