Some years ago I was renting a place in a fairly swanky cul de sac, I used to park my tow truck out the front of the property overnight  as it was a steep drive down to the property and not much turning space . I used to roll out of the Cul de sac and around the corner before starting it to be considerate at night re the noise, it was a fairly new and tidy truck but the neighbours objected as it apparently looked ugly  ::)

Nobody approached me directly they snuck off to the council and had a cry ( Gutless Kunts )

The council compliance bloke came to visit and told me I could only park it there for 2 hrs at a time . I didn't argue I just clarified that if the vehicle was parked for 2 hrs and then moved away I could then return for another 2 Hrs ? . He said technically yes that's correct but you could park it off the road and out of sight, I said correct and they could have approached me directly and I probably would have done that. I said I don't pick fights but if they wanna war bring it  ;D

So naturally during the day I would park the truck down the drive but about 8.00 PM I would park it in the street and religiously go out at 1 hr and 55 mins start it up drive to the end of the road turn around and park up again and do this every 1hr and 55 mins all through the night ( in between call outs ) .

I did that every other night for a fortnight  until the neighbourhood mafia sent over their contingent to ask me to stop. I pointed out it was them who drew first blood and that I was only doing what the requested via the council . I said I would consider going back to the original arrangement of parking it up overnight in the road but the council said I couldn't do that . I suggested that I would need some reassurance from their council mates that if I went back to parking overnight that I would not be ticketed .

Normal service was resumed , I went about my business and they continued to be arseoles to another neighbour about him washing his boat in the street  ::) but left me alone  ;)

I live in a small rural community where the smallest blocks are around 1 acre. But I still got crap from a neighbor who just moved up from Melbourne. They whinged about everything I did and couldn't mind their business for the love of money. So, do what I did when my new neighbors complained about me working in the shed late at night and making noise......Get the lawn mower or whipper snipper cranking bang on 7am every other day.... They soon get jack of that carry on and you will get a visit from the council or coppers like I did. But hey, "I can't help it if I am fire conscious and like to keep my yard under control"  ;D The neighbor moved out and now I have a new neighbor that thinks what I do is cool and comes over for a cold beverage or 2 every now and then.

We heard on the small-town-rumour-mill that a new neighbour was going to complain about the dead cars among the trees right at the back of our block (adjoining the very back of their block). The bit where the cars had been reducing in number since they bought the place seemed irrelevant.

They have a few big trees at the back of their block that they want removed. The tree surgeon knocked on our door and offered us good money for access through our block, as they couldn't get the truck past the neighbour's house.

The trees and the cars are still there... but there's a lovely steel fence on the adjoining boundary, that just appeared one day, at no cost to us.
The good thing about telling the truth is that you don't have to remember what you said.

Free lessons on how to run an electric energized stock fence given ;)   Amazing how many "whingers that have moved in from suburban parts"  do not recognize one along ya back fence line.       More fun when the bastards piss on it in the dark ;D
I may not agree with what you have to say, but I'll defend to the death your right to say it.

I wish I could say the same positive things about my community. People I don't even know whinge about me and my bikes even though I only ride em after they've been washed just to dry the brakes out.... I guess when ya live in a small rural place your supposed to be a sheep farmer or cropper, otherwise you must be up to no good.....
