Good Fences Make Good Neighbors
Oh how true this statement is!
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!My Crazy Neighbor and the Porch Light
It was the winter of 2021 and our new neighbors moved in. There was a red flag when she commented on a post in our community group about how she is entitled to the paint from the previous owners. Silly me, I welcomed her and introduced myself as her new neighbor. She then friends me on Facebook and Instagram. BIG MISTAKE!
We got to talking around New Year’s and the conversation turned to politics. We are on completely different sides and it did not go well. She started the conversation so I continued it. Eventually we let that conversation die.
Cue the Facebook Posts...
One day I’m scrolling on Facebook and see that she has posted in our community group about how her neighbor has a blinding light that shines directly into her bedroom. She stated she likes to wake up naturally to the sun and doesn’t want to close her blinds. She claims she was innocently asking what she can do about the situation. Guess who that neighbor was…ME! Full transparency, she did message me about the light and I told her why we have it and that it was staying on. It is a dusk to dawn light. We did put in a lower wattage but that wasn’t good enough for her. The comments turned NASTY! People were saying to shoot out my light and other forms of vandalism and she was encouraging it. She stated it was a “stadium style spotlight”. Of course she had everyone riled up as to why a neighbor would do that. Well….I posted a picture of said “spotlight” and that was the end of her. The community rallied around me and gave her suggestions of curtains, blinds, etc. She did not want to hear anything that didn’t align with her views. She then resorted to calling my husband and I names and accusing him of doing drugs. She insulted my profession and claimed I was uneducated. She accused us publicly of being racist and homophobes.
After that, I put in a brighter bulb. I’m considering going even brighter…
She sent myself and my husband PARAGRAPHS through Facebook and Instagram saying all kinds of nasty, ridiculous things. This was around 2-3am when most normal, sane people are sleeping.
Finally, I went to the admin of the group and had her banned. Didn’t stop her. She just made a fake profile and joined again.
I have her blocked on everything, but every few months she pops up with a post on Facebook and the comments do not disappoint. Most people are sick of her shenanigans and immediately put her in her place. She will then private message other people and say such awful things to them and then blocks them so they can’t respond. She told one person she hopes his daughters get pregnant at 15. Called another person a fat f**c and that she can’t wait to speak to her in person. Another person she said she felt sorry for because they had never left our town and how sad and pathetic her life is. These are people she doesn’t even know. She actually goes on other social media sites and searches for these people so she can harass them there.
This woman also told me I need Jesus in my life. Ummmm lady, if anyone needs Jesus, it’s you.
I filed a police report against her. Shocker- she’s no stranger to the police. She has a record of assaulting a state trooper! The police likened it to high school drama. They told me to just block her, which I did. But I told them I still wanted a record of her harassment.
The other night, she screams our her window, “Turn of your light you f***ing b**ch. Woke me from a dead sleep. So, I went to my back light and flipped it on and off a few dozen times :).
The morning after the election I wake up to a screenshot from her starting stuff in our community group. Once again, she’s calling people names and attacking them. She usually deletes her comments but not before others screenshot them.
I received a message from the admin of the group saying he has banned her and all accounts she may make and that he was fed up with her nastiness. Thank goodness!!
The best part- when she sees me in person, she doesn’t say a word. She won’t even make eye contact. She’s a keyboard warrior who likes to act all tough.
I’m moving and part of me doesn’t want to give her the satisfaction of me leaving but the other part can’t wait to get away from this crazy, off her rocker, person.
Messages from a CRAZY Neighbor
Here are some messages she has sent people she doesn’t even know. Sadly, I deleted everything I’ve gotten from her because I don’t need reminders of her on my phone.
So tell me, do you have any crazy neighbor stories? OR…were you ever the crazy neighbor?
