Revenge In The
Trailer Park Life

Dear RG,
I live in a trailer
park that the houses are close together.
There
is a annoying woman that claims she works nights. So on the weekends when
I'm home working on the house she has come up and yelled for sawing wood,
yelled at my son for mowing lawn. She's even yelled at our neighbors for
music on it their own house.
Last
weekend the hag called the cops on us cause we had music going in our house,
no not speakers propped up against the windows either, just music going so
we could hear through out the house. We didn’t get ticketed but this women
is getting worse. The cop even said he could hardly hear the music.
This
goes on in the middle of the afternoons, on the weekends, like at 2 o'clock
pm. I need some help dealing with this hag.
The
cops say since there a complaint they have to come. What should I do? I feel
like a prisoner in my own house afraid to make a noise or the cops will
come.
HELP!!
Hi,
You need to be proactive here, since this freaky neighbor really has no
reason to call the cops on you.
This is what
I'd do:
1. Call the local city council and get a copy of the local noise bylaws.
Make sure you read it and understand it. Keep a copy of it handy for the
next time she complains so you can give it to her.
2. Call the
police and talk to someone in charge about the harassment you are getting
with her calling the police on you for unfounded noise complaints, contrary
to to bylaws. If you present your case well enough, they'll talk to her and
then stop responding to her complaints.
3. Talk to
your neighbors, likely they have to put up with the same crap. Make sure
they know how to deal with her as well and start a petition against her.
Maybe force her to move out.
4. Talk to
the park management or owners, make sure they understand the hell she's
putting you through with her unfounded and outrageous complaints. Along with
your petition and support from your neighbors they may step in and talk with
her.
5. Start
weekly outdoor get-togethers with your neighbors, as an excuse to be a
little louder than normal. It's innocent enough and is she really going to
come out after all of you? Sure she will. Have a video camera handy and with
the ensuing screaming that she'll make take the evidence down to the
courthouse and file a complaint and a restraining order against her.
6. Don't
change how you are living your life, don't let her win. Stand up to her and
help her to understand that just because she has to kill chickens in the
middle of the night to have a job it isn't your problem and if she needs
peace and quiet, to move somewhere else.
