Sounds like he married crazy, too.

Lots of asses out there, people who only care about themselves and must have everyone agreeing with them or they go nuts. Should have reminded him the deep woods is great for garden debris and "other, biodegradeable things, like meat"

One of my favorite things to say to guys like that, real quiet so they have to listen hard. "Have good health insurance do you"

Got to love people these days.

So my mom's neighbor had asked if she can help cut down some branches from her tree that are going over in to his yard. I head over with my chainsaw and with his help cut them off. Now his yard waste can and my mom's are already full. Tuesday and Thursday are the only days the dump will take it (this was last Sunday) and i'm traveling for work on those days anyway. So he tells me to just take it to the wooded area that is along the long blvd that connects her neighborhood to the hwy. I go and ask her neighbor on the other side since he is head of the neighborhood association and he can't see a problem with that and says lots of people do it.

So I load it up as my 8 year old nephew if he wants to join and off we go. I drag the three long branches way back into the woods and leave them. As i'm about to leave a guy pulls up and asks if i'm dumping stuff there.

Now I had expected that because the people outside the neighborhood does suffer from outsiders dumping things like bed frames and things there (i've helped out with a few clean ups). I tell him yep just taking some tree branches there and that they are from my mom's house that lives in the neighborhood. Guy just completely looses it and goes agro. I keep my cool, because my nephew is with me mostly, while he is screaming away and i'm calmly answering him. He says the police will see this as dumping. At that moment a cop drives by so I wave to him (lives in the neighborhood) and say well there is one why don't you ask him. He ignores it keeps ranting and then says he is going to call the cops on me.

Done with his crap I start to back out and on the back of his car is a huge decal along his glass that says COPS ARE KILLERS.... so I stop and say hey you think all cops are killers and you want to then call them on me for throwing a tree branch in the forest?? He says well you would get what you deserve then...... I drive off back into my mom's hood.

He drove through the neighborhood to find where my truck was parked because some more of my mom's neighbors from across the street came and rang her doorbell. They had seen him yelling at me and had turned around as he was leaving and saw him drive past my mom's house and take a picture. They were concerned as they didn't know him. I told them i've seen him in the neighborhood before and i'm not too worried about it but ask them if they can keep an eye out if i'm not there. Last thing I need is this hot head going off on my 68 year old mom.

He drives by again when i'm outside changing the oil on my moms car and gets out. Asks if i'm going to go and get my "trash" out of the woods. I tell him we can talk like adults but if he continues to scream and cuss for no reason I may do the same, and then I get out from under the car. Now till now I don't think he had any idea how large I was because he had only seen me in truck. I could tell by his eyes that his balls shrank two sizes at that moment. He basically turned around and left without saying anything else.

Later that night his wife (who wasn't present for any of this) posts on the neighborhood facebook page (with the pictures the guy took of my truck and my mom's house) that it was her that had confronted me and I had gotten aggressive with her. She says if anyone knows this guy tell him its not ok to talk to women like that and our forest area is not a dumping ground for tree limbs. I was going to post up but let myself calm for a bit. By then my mom's two neighbors that had witnessed her husband acting like a fool posted up and cleared it up. Basically stating it was her husband that was being aggressive and she wasn't even there. An numerous people posted up who da fuq cares if someone throws at tree branch into the forest. Post got deleted by the admin and they got a warning not to spread lies or post pictures of neighbors houses without their consent on the board.

Can't wait till I run into him at some of the neighborhood things I volunteer for. lol

I wish a mother trucker would.

Yeah, we had a 2008 and had the cam not gone down in it and I couldn't find anyone local willing to do the cam replacement, I'd still be driving that. But my 2016 with the 1.4T gas motor still gets around 41 mpg.

Strangely enough a rock auto box showed up today with air, fuel and oil filters for the vw and a new hose and ps pump for the ferd.

@lt1fire so patient. Amazing the number of bored people this day in age,

Talk about bored - the neighbor that built his McMansion below our street decided that having to look at a recycling bin is terribly offensive. I understood when he moved them out of the front of his house (that's their designated pick up spot for the street) but when he started moving them before 5 pm on pick up day, blocking the mailboxes, even kicking them into the creek - we were admittedly not pleased. Even if I didn't feel like hauling them all the way up the hill (when it's in a down pour, for example) I would at least move them to my side of the street, my property. I even move my immediate neighbors' cans over there so they don't have to deal with him. After all, the cops did inform him he had no business touching my property and especially not on my property after his Christmas Eve drunken rant where he threatened to have city pick them up. But now he's back to verbally assaulting me with my child in tow - even though they're on my property. Because he can see them out of his bedroom window. That he would have to walk over to, and practically press his face to in order to see them. Did I mention there's no scenic mountain views, in that direction, just a bunch of ivy covered trees? Yeah.

I finally called in my landlord because guy was not understanding "leave me the **** alone". Funny how when a man says it he's all apologies and amends and sheepish. Either way, he had a camera in his face recording every part of the interaction and was explicitly told not to speak to me, or walk on our property again. Here's to hoping it sticks.

For the record, I'm a spicy woman but if someone speaks kindly, offers apology, I'll accept and always make repairs. But this man hasn't said so much of a single nice word in three years. He is the true definition of a****** neighbor.

Its a real dick to verbally assault a girl, even more so with a child in tow.

Seeing that would get me way more wound up that the guy in my story did.

 

[sentient schmoo]

I smiled real big and told him no when he told me to get my s*** off my own property. Let me tell you, that's a bigger middle finger than anything else to man with that kinda energy.

So apparently the ineptitude of the parts counter guy spans all makes and models....

Go to VW to buy some oil filters. Always ask for my vin, even though I usually know what filter to ask for. Anyway, this time I forgot which one and didn't have the vin handy. He asks if its ever been serviced there, no I reply. But I did buy it here. Name? He asks. I respond, he looks me up and then grabs 3 small boxes from under the counter. I pay and head home.

Fast forward to this evening, I drop skid pan, drain oil and spin off the old filter. All is going great until I open one of the filter boxes. . . .

Cartridge style filter.. What The F!

So at 8 pm I had to drive my happy butt to the parts store to get a filter so I could finish my oil change...

I will be stopping by in the morning to swap them and have a chat with someone about how I will find a nice on-line vendor to purchase from moving forward since their counter guy can't get it right, even when it is literally right on the screen...

Anybody got a good vw parts source. Looking at ECS tuning right now, but open to good recommendations. Thanks

And then my oem wheel bearings and ball joints for the jetta showed up from id parts. Both of these were due tomorrow..... i should recommend places more, seems like it speeds up delivery.

Honestly I would be down for a positivity thread. It's good practice.

They're trying to sniff out the autonomous zones where people are eating vegan food and handing out La Croixs.
