We use to have a similar problem with a neighbor up the hill. Solution?

With you hidden from the drivers vision bounce a basketball across the front of their car. At least for us there was an immediate screeching of tires as he slammed on the brakes, thinking a kid would appear chasing the ball.

Set them up with a very hot cup of coffee while someone else bounces the ball?

Now that shoots a hole in my previous post.

You live in a pretty small community, maybe the local po-po could help take care of it. Let them catch her and have a talk with her mama.

p.s. See guys, I told you he was still alive. :)


Oh yeah, Way to alive lately. :) I did call the LEOS, and they have been hanging around more....But her coming and going are so random thier pathes dont cross.


I do like the bouncing ball idea. That seems the most viable so far.

Wonder if I could modify a clay pigeon thrower to do it from a distance. :)



Her mama dont care. You know the house, the one ranch! Whiskey Tango at its finest!

Or put her head in a vise...

"Fuckin' Charlie M?!??? You make me pop your fuckin' eyeball to protect Charlie M???"
 
Just go off on her every time you see her.

I scream, shout, point fingers, generally scare the shit out of anyone who drives like an idiot around me.

Surprisingly, after each of these sessions, I'm always embarrassed and worried about what folks think of me. Curiously, in the small town I live in, I'm know for being the guy who will chase kids down, scare them shitless and drive off.

It beats the hell out of going to jail for hitting a kid.

Everytime you see her being stupid, run up, red in the face, screaming at her about how stupid she is.

It will make you feel better and it might get the message across.

I did this but with a soccer ball. Had the disco parked in the driveway and was tinkering in the garage when one of the jackass neighbors comes racing down the street. I live in the middle of a street that's about a quarter mile long with a curve at one end - enough straight road to really build up some speed. I rolled one of my little girl's soccer balls down the drive and the jackass just about lost control. I used it as an opportunity to scream at him and lecture him with "what if my little girl had been chasing that ball?" Scared the hell of out this 20-something dipshit and now I just give him that "yeah I'm watching you" look whenever he drives by.

one step up from the basketball/soccer ball: put a cardboard cutout of a kid on a skateboard. tie a sting to it and hide it behind a trashcan or something on the other side of the road. pull the string when she's coming down the road. Even better, throw the ball into the street from your side of the road like the kid is running to meet it.

Do it at dusk, when the sun is in her face.

2. Record it as an innocent bystander and post on here
3. ?????

I didnt mention, we recently had some people upgrade from the trailer park to living next door to her. And, of course, their son is hitting it on a regular basis. Any mechanical anything will be quickly pointed to me, then I gotta deal this is moron. I surely would clean his Chronometer, but thats not what I'm after.

Just looking for a come to Jesus to wake her situational awareness. Flatening her tires, while fun, would cause a bunch of trouble for me without the desired effect.

This is a perfect opportunity to spend some of those tax dollars. Just give the cops something to do. Report repeated incidents of reckless driving involving a red VW in an area she frequents. I wouldn't have them camp outside the neighborhood, but you could get her somewhere.

Or, just strap a harmonica under that car to scare her a bit and run some cash out of their wallets on a vehicle-related issue.

Of course, there is always guile. Just purchase a used piece of junk, and set up a situation where she will collide with you. Let her have a wreck involving another person, but make sure you are the sacrificial lamb, not someone else. Also, it might be wise to ensure that she will legally be at fault, such as in some states, where it's always your fault when you rear-end someone.

Extra manipulation points will be awarded if you hire a friend to plow into you when she rear-ends you into an intersection.

Failing that, you could simply leave a car at the limit of your property, and hope she hits it sooner or later. Or, find a thoroughly (and freshly) dead cute animal, like a bunny or kitten, and shove it halfway through her air dam, in hopes that she will believe that she killed it.

You might temporarily scare her with these tactics, but some people are just prone to cause collisions.

Cheers,

Kennith

oh this is all too good. When this gets sorted we can work on how to get my neighbor to stop parking in front of my house next.

Place a nail under his tired wedged into place so that when they leave it will be shoved into the tire; they'll think they picked it up on the road.

Then, do it again.

And again.

And again.

I had a guy park next to me at the casino. His truck was so close and out of th epainted spot I could not even imagine attempting to get in the drivers door.



I really had to pee, so I peed on his door handle. I was full too, he got to dip his hand in a big ole bunch of my piss.

Could work in this applicatation.
