Neighbor is Nuts
Need advice, my neighbor is progressively getting nuttier about small bits of dog poop.
At first, she asked us not to let dog poop get into her garden area. We live down a low slope. A small metal fence marks the property line, and another fence farther along our land is the dog fence.
We place the poop about an inch over our dog fence, still on our land.
She has a garden area that she doesn't use much, and brings her lawn clippings to the slope area, dumping them over the land line. Out of sight, out of mind is her thought, I'm sure.
Recently, she went around us to speak to our landlord. Our landlord asked us to stop throwing poop in the woods and bag it. We asked who told her that and explained that we placed it over the large fence where she dumps her clippings, so we figured if she feels comfortable dumping there, she was fine with it.
I installed a camera recently and now see that she comes right up to our dog fence, dumps clippings as close as she can, and I swear she counts dog poop. Sometimes rabbits poop in her garden, and I think it is why she is going crazy.
We have explained this to her, and I don't think it matters.
At this point, the landlord will take her opinion over us because she used to live in this house and knows her personally.
Is showing the landlord the footage we have a good idea, or should I make it more obvious that we have a camera?
It's just such an odd situation; she will sit at the top of the slope, pointing her chair toward our backyard, and almost watch us as if we were entertainment. She used to blast music when she was in her yard and even walk away for hrs at a time, keeping it on. I think what is making it worse is that I called a noise complaint because we could hear it inside our house with the windows closed.
At this point, I want her to cut it out before it gets worse. If we are going to take the time to bag our poop, it would be nice for her to take the clippings to the other side of her property, where there is a perfectly nice slope to the woods.
I just don't get it; it drives me up the wall.
