It's hard to believe that I've moved more than 15 times, but in this industry that's probably the average for a 36-year-old. At each of the places I have lived, I've become really good friends with a lot of my neighbors.  When my parents moved to Florida, we moved into the house I grew up in as a teenager, so a lot of my current neighbors I have known for almost 25 years.

Late last week, we had an issue with one of my neighbors. An older woman continuously calls my parents in Florida instead of my wife and I when there is an issue at our house when we are not there. I went to make sure she had our cell numbers Sunday morning. I don't really have a problem with the woman, but her stepson is an idiot. To give you an idea, twice we've had to hunker down because he was either drunk, or off his meds. This woman has called me more than once concerned about his behavior. One day there were six township cops, three county cops, and two state cops lined up along our road because of him.

Sunday morning, things escalated to the point where I wasn't really scared, but more concerned about what he was going to do. He threatened to kick my ass, at which point I laughed, turned around and went  back home. I debated on contacting the authorities right then and there, but it was a Sunday and I wanted to cool down before I took action.

We went to a family movie later in the day, and when we got home the police were in his driveway. The officer then pulled in our driveway behind me. As I approached him, he asked what happened this morning. I told him about our previous altercations and of the one that morning. The officer started to chuckle. Curious and delighted, I asked him why he was there. Apparently, my neighbor claims that I threatened to kick HIS ass. The officer told me to just avoid them all together, and if he causes any more trouble to call 911.

So if I ever do decide to sue him for harassment, he just made my case much, much easier. It's nice to know that the police are on my side. Just another warning to anyone who thinks its okay to mess with my family, be warned... you won't like what happens!

I hate conflict and try to avoid it at all costs, but when my family is involved the claws come out! Do you have any 'hard-to-deal-with' neighbors?
