don't let them bully you and don't be scared. take a stand, give it right back to them. they will leave you alone if you stand up for yourself. oh, and get a camera to protect your property.
What kind of godawful neighborhood do you live in where you fear having your tires slashed?
Not only that, but your neighbors all appear to be lunatics. I suggest you reassure the enraged next-door neighbor that you never said anything derogatory about her husband. Be friendly and non-threatening. Then put your house on the market and flee like the wind. Move someplace benign where the neighbors aren't violent or psychotic.
And just what benign planet might that place be on?
Look at the headlines from just about anywhere, dear.
Safe places are far and few between.
Move? =P
Or open up a can of verbal whoop-ass. Tell the crazy rumor-spreading neighbor exactly how you feel, and use large words as to confuddle her :).
Hahahaha!!! They are renting so Im just going to wait it out. OH and get this, (since the incident) I pull out of my drive way and her older kid was riding his bike infront of their house, he sees me, ditches his bike in the driveway like it was on fire, runs in the garage and closes the garage door! Hes bigger than I am! Seriously coo coo ca choo next door!! Thanks for your replys!
