Neighbor Lawn Chair Wars ... An Email "Hate" Story

One of the craziest email chains -- and neighbor wars--over lawn chairs you'll see. The 1st 3 messages in the chain were already posted on Burbia -- but we kept them in the chain here to give full context. (If you already know the background, you can skip to message 4 -- starting 7/21/09.)

Apparently the maniac neighbor here, Paul -- who originally demanded his neighbor, John, not use any lawn chairs on John's own lawn...damn eye sores!-- took a 2 week lull, so that "cooler heads could prevail". His return to battle started again on 7/21/09...and his proposed "compromise" and approach are no less nuts than before. Let the neighbor war games continue...

This is as fake as fake can be.


I love how everybody knows

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

I love how everybody knows when something is fake. I don't know if this or anything else is fake but I doubt this is. I had a similar conflict with a douchebagt neighbor myxelf who was fixated on a BBQ i put in MY backyard. He want it removed, I said wtf and he was after me for months on it. He was like a stalker, he sent me messages and such. I called a lawyer who wrote him a letter to stop. That stopped him, at least so far. This is a riot and I can relate so I say great

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

Are you talking about the second email in the list? He is simply listing all of the ugly stuff that the crazy man and Kathy should be worried about more than his chairs. That doesn't mean he is describing it to make the "fake" more understandable.

And the second to last email doesn't make it fake either. He is basically rubbing it in the crazy dudes face that his proposal is ridiculous and he is committing harassment.


Old is retarded

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

This was on Digg a month ago? Are you retarded? The first 3 were poted a while ago, yes, perhaps you should read teh article.

Considering the last email was dated 7/26/09, the only way you saw this on digg a month ago is if you are writing to us from the future.

So thanks for the comment space man.

Oh I doubt very much that this is fake...some people are certifiably nuts, and their only entertainment is tormenting their neighbors.

I hope John kicks Paul's ass.


I have a friend who is

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

I have a friend who is currently dealing with "reasonable" and "unreasonable" neighbors. The "reasonable" neighbor wants her to stop walking from the front yard to the back yard between her house and theirs because she may glance in their open windows. Though she has never done that, her ex husband from 10 years ago used to, so they think their request is reasonable. They tried to stop her putting stairs on that side of her new back deck so she wouldn't be encouraged to walk up that side of her house. The neighbors on the other side are worse. Therefore this story seems plausible to me. People are nuts.

However, real or not, it's funny shit.


flawed memory guys?

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

to those of you saying this is old...I also read it a month ago, but if you'll notice, the emails are different, this is a continuation of the argument, not a re-post of the original.

If it is fake... please god let the genious make more of these...please. However the kind of person who types FAKE on a random internet site is probably not a home owner, and has no frame of refferance. It is with a somber heart I agree that these are probably real and we have heard the last of jon.


I can't wait to see what happens

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

Their neighbor seems crazy in the head. I can't wait to see what happens. How can that guy actually think he has the authority as "a neighbor" to tell people what they can and can't have on their own property. That's why they call it property. Because it belongs to me not you. I hope John locks the doors and windows every night, and sleeps with a shotgun under the bed, because I think Paul might be a little unstable.


3rd party?

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

what does paul mean at the end there? is he going to hire a hit man or a garbage truck? sounds like shit just got real.


It sounds more like Paul

- submitted by Dave on 07/28/2009

It sounds more like Paul moved there from a neighborhood that had a HOA. We had one of 'those' move in on our street a while back and she started up some crap almost immediately. Nevermind that we lived on a dirt road in the middle of the woods. Eventually even the sheriff got fed up with her and chased her out of town.


HOA

- submitted by Skables on 07/28/2009

He better hope he isnt part of an HOA. Litterally in TX HOA's have legal authority. One of our neighbors had a gazeebo, paid for it, installed it, subsequently had to tear it down because of an HOA. whats even more sad is we were his neighbors and didn't care... actually thought it was awesome.

Unreasonable

- submitted by Chris on 07/28/2009

This exchanges kind of reminds me of my neighbor. I'm sure she's beginning to believe that I'm that crazy neighbor.

Here's the rundown... It's been no less than 6 times that I've asked my neighbor to stop cutting my lawn (scalping really, I live in central Texas and short grass will turn brown in a heartbeat). It wouldn't be bad if the person she has cutting her lawn would at least stay somewhere near the property line. This guy will cut into my front lawn. HALF of my front lawn actually. The problem goes away after I talk to her but after a while the guy slowly drifts back into my lawn like he somehow thinks our lots are on fast moving tectonic plates. Every talk I've had with her starts with her saying that she "just feels so bad for the guy", "I think he's slow", and "he really needs the money." The last talk I had went no where quick when she started saying that she doesn't know what the problem is since my air conditioner is "really on her property, I think." This was after she remarked that "I really don't know where our property lines are." Silly me, I would think you would know where the boundaries of your $130k investment were.

What would you do in my shoes? I'm by no means a stickler about property lines. I just want the guy to stop cutting over half of my front yard. Hell, I wouldn't even mind it if he didn't cut it so damn short.


Not fake

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/28/2009

I saw this on reddit a month ago but it was only the first two. This has had time to develop, and I don't think they'd bother going to the elaborate steps of releasing it incrimentally if it were just some dumb hoax. All power to you, John. Show this asshole who's boss.


Clearly...

- submitted by Anonyous on 07/28/2009

This guy misses his wife and the sight of two chairs just makes him wish he had someone to sit on the lawn with.

100% fake letter after the

- submitted by Stuart Hannig on 07/28/2009

100% fake letter after the huge traffic burst on the original (which could be real), I get the feeling the person who sent this is in or burbia decided to capitalize on it and build it longer.

It got to the point of being almost too amazing. Very likely fake, John can prove it's not by posting a pic of the chair tower.

FAKE! And also the neighbor has a point you cant dirty up someone elses property value. i live next to some welfare ppl who have stacks of car parts on their front yard and food and corn on their backyard from drunken mexcian parties.

Me Likey

- submitted by Qberinho on 07/29/2009

I don't care if this is a folk tale, it's still funny.

The one thing that raises the 'fake alarm' is to consider how the hell Paul (the crazy guy) got his neighbors email in the first place. Especially if everyone in the neighborhood hates him and bla bla bliddy boo.

But I don't care..it's funny, and anyone who doesn't think so is empirically proving themselves to be a communist and a right-wing leftist who hates babies.


Unreasonable: Go to city

- submitted by Anonymous on 07/29/2009

Unreasonable: Go to city hall and find the deed to your land and find the property lines. A friend of mine had the same issue with a neighbor but with a trampoline on his land. Go out and use a can of spray paint or string on stakes and mark your property line. If they continue to go over it, threaten a lawsuit because they are trespassing.

- submitted by Tracie on 07/29/2009

I live in a suburb. Yes, I have email addresses of three of my neighbors. I also had a crazy neighbor who was probably Paul's sister. She would walk onto people's porches and look in their windows and then criticize their carpet or decorating. She would try to tell people what they could or could not do on their own property (we have no HOA). Then she tried organizing a block party. Nobody showed up. She put her house on the market a week later and moved away. :-D
