My aunt lived in her house for 30+ years + friends with everyone but then she started acting odd, fighting over minor issues, accusing neighbors of breaking in to steal from her garage etc. Turns out she developed a form of schizophrenia found in elderly people. Angry, paranoid, hostile... It was difficult even with medication.

My grandmother lives next to a neighbour who's like that. As an example she's disabled and so had a garden maintence company come out to cut the grass. They turn up, start mowing and he pretty much explodes onto the scene, shouting at them and threatening them with a peice of wood. Needless to say he's well known to the police.

Great job. Too bad things went awry. You did the right thing, in the right tone.

Trying to reason with people who lack reason, intelligence, class, and common decency is an exercise in futility. Sadly some people only respond to force. You’re likely going to need a court to exercise force.

Absolutely agree.

I live in a trailer park that you buy and own the trailer but the land is owned by the park. Each trailer does in a since have its own space that is basically laid out by landscaping that has been done many years ago. When I purchased my trailer I added a sprinkler system to the yard to water the grass and my nieghbor even helped me put it in. He eventually moved and a grouchy old man bought his trailer. The first thing he did was put a shed under a tree that seemingly was part of my yard. After the first leaf loss of the tree he came knocking at my door saying I need to cut it down becouse it clogged the the rain gutters he had put on his little 8'x8' shed. I told that I didn't own the property or the tree and he needed to take his problem up with the park owners. He did and they told him that he may remove the tree if it was OK with me. So he came back to me and told me the park owners said that the tree must be removed and that I had to pay half for it's removal. I showed him a letter that I had just recieved from the parks manager stating that the neighbor could remove the tree as long as I agreed to it. I also pointed out that no where did it say I had to pay half. So he did have the tree removed at his expense. But I guess due to not helping him pay to remove the tree he decided that he needed to do a plot assessment of the property which he found on google. I am sure it was a permit drawing of some sort for the original build of the park. Looking out my window he was going back and forth in my front yard with a 100 ft. tape measure. I found this rather funny and went and got my wife so she could get a laugh out of it. We both laughed and let him go about his business of measuring the yard. Of course a couple days later I got a knock on the door and he was saying that 4 of my sprinkler heads were on his property by 6", I again told him that it wasn't his property nor was it mine and to take it up with the park owners. As you can guess the park owners are now about sick of him and told him the same thing. They called me and asked how I felt about the situation , I told them I didn't care because the property wasn't mine as I didn't care about the tree. I did say that he could move the heads 6" my way but could not just remove them as they were watering my yard. He then hired a landscaping crew to come out and move the heads. The funny thing was they were 180 degree heads that watered into my yard and when he moved them it left 6" of dead grass in his yard. Never figured that one out or why he would want to do something like that but what ever floats your boat. He was a constant pain in my ass and very nosy about everything I did. Me and my wife were standing on the side of the house talking about what a pain in the ass he was and I told my wife watch this, I picked up my hammer and hit a 4x4 post I had in the ground about 10 times with the hammer and told her it would take him 5 seconds to come out and see what I was doing...LOL like clock work out he came. Me and my wife laughed and went in the house. The sad thing about all of this is he finally passed away. He lie dead in his trailer for 4 days before anyone knew he had passed. As much as I did not care for him it broke my heart that he was so alone.

The husband seems reasonable but the wife seems like the trouble maker.. poor husband

Had a tree grow over the property line with my neighbor. His tree, not mine. But we wanted to repair the fence it took down while growing. I was willing to split the cost. He wasn't. So God decided to solve the issue. It got hit by lightening, a week later, and split that sucker right down the trunk off my property line. Took the damaged fence with it. Now I could have my fence repaired, while he had half a tree on his side. He was more than willing to split the cost of removing the entire damaged tree after that. Lol Our homeowners insurance covered the tree and fence. Problem solved.

He's said to me a couple times that he will help me cut them down. I said, when your ready, I'll help you. As long as my tree is healthy, I don't have to trim it keeping from hanging over his property, however he is allowed to cut it back to the property line if he wants. It's in the ficus family, but if it were a fruit tree the fruit is mine not his even if there over his property. My neighbor on the other side has an avocado tree that has branches over my yard. The tree doesn't produce good avocados anyway. If it did then then one's that fall onto my property would then be mine to eat. Now I just throw them away in my garbage can. P.S.

When your brain-power is leaving you, it's must be easier to oppose everything. What Chad might realize is that Karen has varying amounts of clearheadedness, and if he waits for the right time he might be able to find her in a reasonable state. If he doesn't time it right, she's just going to tell him "no."

I did fencing many years ago It is common courtesy to set the nice side toward neighbors and, you should set it back at least 2 to 3 feet so you have access for maintenance. But you have to make it clear to the neighbors and the town you're doing this so it is documented and they know it is still not their property. You can use mulch or crushed stone, anything which marks the actual property line before the fence

The husband seems open to dialogue. He should be told if someone is going on his property and recording him before putting it up on KZread as well.

I had my land surveyed before putting up my fence, there was no neighbor living on the next lot, but after my fence was in some old guy bought that place and I even left him a foot or two of literal land but there is a standing treeline on the line, so in between us it didn't really matter to me in the position of where my fence would be according to the plans I wanted, nice of you to go the proper route...

Some type of people don't have the brain strength to comprehend logic.

Trying to reason with people lacking critical thinking skills, is like reasoning with a brick wall.

I met my new neighbor while he was on his tractor on my land! Had the nerve to ask what he could clear of my property! Then they got chickens and decided it was okay to free range them in my yard. Still trying to steal land by moving pins. Should be getting that letter from the lawyer next week. Having the pins reset and going to sue them so they can pay for it.

That went better than I expected.

That's the way it should be approached. If you didn't stop it now they could have claimed your land

Wow, you tried to do the right thing!! Good for you.

Lol, if they could act like adults there wouldn’t be this situation

I hope everything works out okay for everyone.

I’d imagine the husband has noticed his wife’s obsession, change in personality. I hope he takes the steps to get her evaluated. When elderly people start acting like that, it’s usually a sign of a change in brain functioning. Poor guy, he’s probably terrified and doesn’t know what to do.

I have a neighbor who asked to have access in my yard to his side of garage so he could fix his soffit and roof. He did but then to get more access he tore down a nice wooden fence I had that was about 3 foot wide. He then busted it and put it back and it looks like hell. I asked him nicely to fix it like it was and he threatened me and cursed at me and told me never to come on his porch again. Remember he busted my fence. He said it was rotted and what did I want him to do? Hmm, not take it down? Talk to me normal stuff but no he finally apologized and said he'd fix it but that was like 4 months ago so It looks like I'm going to have to rebuild my fence. Cheaper then getting a lawyer but I sure as hell hope he does not give me crap. I just don't get folks.
