From Canada, living beside toxic neighbours has drained me emotionally and I feel tired of keeping up with their negativity. Over the past few months, I’ve been dealing with anxiety to depression, losing sleep because of them due to littering, vandalism and etc. I want to catch them in the act but now they pretend to be all innocent on the outside.
I’m tired of feeling the need to protect my family and watch over my home from these malicious type of people who intend to do harm/damage/provoke us with their remarks. They simply don’t flick off easily even after putting up a “NO TRESPASSING” and “NO PARKING” sign on our window. Like is it my problem, that they own a lot of cars and try to squish them all in a driveway that fits 2. I don’t even understand why they don’t use the garage to park one car and eventually somehow ends up blocking my driveway. Tried to telling those jerks to move their car and should of gotten the message when I decided to put up those signs.
Our rerelationship with them gotten worse after we installed more cctv cameras around our home. They started taking pictures of each security camera that we installed. I’m aware they can’t do much about it because it’s on our property side and we intend to use to deter future incidents like this from happening. Ever since then, they may attempt to mock us once in awhile when we encounter them outside of our home. I get annoyed when they show no coincidence to the things that they have done to us and start talking bullshit about their kids being well-behaved angels. I think their kids are as disrespectful as them (a reflection of themselves).
EXAMPLE of how my neighbour’s son is like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9k6MLy1fb58
Honestly, I regret listening to my uncle about “letting go” and ignoring them. In my opinion, they are just like Tofu, and get more obnoxious and rude every time that I see them. I overheard even the kid’s grandparents said they are not afraid of us. This happened one day while I was sitting in my room indoor with my windows open and they opened their mouth out loud exclaiming how delicious and juicy as well how many fruits there were that they picked out of the tree in my backyard. After that incident, we re angled the camera in the back yard. Sadly, I can’t do anything much about my neighbours picking fruits from my tree but I’m unable to tolerate that sort of behaviour, tone, and attitude coming from someone who claims that their kids are “angels”. The kid’s mother even pretend to say that her son didn’t scratch our car by accident even tho I saw it with my own eyes and told us a diss for my family to go live up in the mountains.
I should of known better that negativity and negativity doesn’t equal a positive life. But I did use her own diss to diss her back about coming down from a mountain if she wanted us to go up and live in the mountains…LOL I felt bad afterwards because of the drama and something said out of anger can’t be taken back. I’m usually the quiet type in school and don’t like getting into conflict with people but can’t stand people who talk bullshit and try to pick on my family, especially uncle who usually don’t take their words to heart or seriously. I care because I don’t like seeing them or an elementary kid being disrespectful towards him.
For the past few months in summer 2014 until sometime in 2015 I’ve been pulling a Daniel Radcliff (almost) – Basically, I would be wearing Aviator sunglasses whenever I go out/come back home. Why? I had a feeling that my neighbour were secretly recording us and paying attention to our every move ever since they were taking pictures of us installing the security cameras outside of our home. My plan worked because I heard the old lady next door being irritated and questioning why I wore those pair of sunglasses “everyday”. There was also a subliminal message that they should look at themselves and mind their own business because those lens were shiny and their would be seeing a reflection of themselves if they ever looked at me / make eye contact. In addition, I didn’t want to see their faces and was making an effort to avoid them.
Sadly, the only flaw was not removing my uncle’s back up alarm earlier. We probably will get in trouble for noise pollution and face a lawsuit from them. I’m just frustrated that I told him a numerous amount of time to “be careful. it’s better to be safe then sorry” and I had a feeling that those malicious neighbours of mine will use the back-up alarm as an excuse to sue him for money someday in the future. Making his car “different” made us vulnerable to these financial leeches. I’m kind of mad and disappointed at my uncle on so, many different levels because I tried my best to protect him from those malicious people and don’t want to see anyone taking advantage of him.
Daniel Radcliffe Annoys Paparazzi: http://astonishingtop10.blogspot.ca/2013/06/daniel-radcliffe-annoys-paparazzi-wears.html#.VwqJS_krKM8https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/28js8s/til_daniel_radcliff_wore_the_same_outfit_each
I was aware that they would coincidentally appear to follow my uncle and watch his activities outside when he is doing house work outside like: washing his car, or mowing the grass. Ever since then. I view them as pesky mosquito or flies. No matter how much you tell them to go away/leave you alone, they enjoy coming back to annoy you. I tried to listen to my uncle about ignoring them and believe him when he said that they can’t do no harm to us.
However, he made me doubt my instinct. Those people had the intention of suing us sooner or later and he easily let them be which was collect evidence to use against us by not listening to me about removing the back up alarm. He kept on procrastinating and telling me that if there is a problem, the police will inform us to fix. Apparently, I found out later online, that with noise complaints. it’s anonymous and they do noise log. It’s kind of shady in my opinion to get fined without a warning given in the first place.
Worried about potential lawsuits that may be a threat to my family well-being and happiness. My neighbour threaten that they can sue us, get us fined and arrested. My family still doesn’t believe me that it is possible and said I’m over thinking. To be honest, I wouldn’t be in the situation that I am now, feeling hopeless, useless, and sad. I also wouldn`t be overthinking in the first place if they would listen to me sooner and remove the back up alarm. I’ve already saw it coming and thought of all the possible ways that they could use an excuse to sue us on the day that they started taking pictures of our home security cameras. (These people can`t sit still and leave us alone after drawing a clear line of our boundary). I hate living in semi-detached houses beside people who can`t drive. Trying to relocate at the moment but these neighbours are probably already planning to sabotage us from successfully selling our home. I`m not even sure how much compensation money they are asking us for emotional distress, lost of enjoyment of property and etc. Just thinking about having to lose money raising those kind of jerks sadden my soul even though my uncle is unaware of it. There was a strange vehicle parked outside our home every night. Google it about it and some people say it might be a private investigator. Either way, I don`t get good vibes from my neighbours and our security cameras have been acting strange. Hopefully, those jerks are not the ones behind it trying to jam our security systems.
In the end, I hope there will be a rainbow after the rain. I`m slowing losing faith in humanity. People doing stuff behind other people backs.
I came across these articles after my neighbour threaten to sue us:

After reading these articles, it made me worried a lot about my uncle`s situation regarding his car back-up alarm automatically activating everyday for a few seconds whenever he shifts his car in reverse. We we`re genuinely unaware that we could get fined, arrested over this, and letting those jerks taking advantage of us by having to compensate them. His intention was good and wanted to install it for safety reason. He didn`t think it was illegal or going against the law because you can buy it online or at our local Canadian Tire.
BACK-UP ALARM:
Unlike, the typical beeping back up alarm, my family back up alarm is instrumental noise sort of similar to an ice cream truck. As mentioned above, they sell different back-up alarm sound like the bird chirping kind or the English talking sound back up alarm. I am blessed to have the opportunity to meet many wonderful people during my difficult time that encourage me and keep me company. Often times, they encourage me to move away from those bastards next door and tell me not to worry about lawsuits. Deep down, I always feel regretful and blame it on myself for not being able to protect my family safety, happiness, and finance from those emotional leeches. I’ve been struggling to stay motivated and focus on my studies at school because I’m worried that my family could potentially get arrested out of the blue over noise and made that no one, including the police never giving us a warning beforehand.
