Bad neighbors... ugh.
I'm happy to say the only crappy neighbor I've ever had lived beneath me, in a nice condo building next to an 8-lane freeway. Guy dragged me before the HOA because my two 8-week old kittens were "giving my wife migraines! You're ruining the quiet enjoyment of my home!"
Heh. The HOA board told the guy he should consider moving to a single-family dwelling.
Then he went after the people living below him - the guy on the first floor did a lot of BBQ-ing, and he wanted the board to restrict BBQ hours on patios to between 4 and 6 p.m. only.
The HOA board told him to stuff it. Then they asked me to be a board member. All complaints from Downstairs Dickwad ceased. *snort*
As for how to deal with people for whom reasonable compromise is not a part of their reality (and who really need a good swift kick inna junk), I highly recommend any book by George Hayduke.
