Epic Neighbor Lawn Chair War Continues

The Neighbor Lawn Chair Wars continue. Here's the most recent email string between a guy who seems to know no limit to being a freak & his frustrated (but pretty damn funny) neighbor-victim. For context, we've also attached the earlier emails--already posted on Burbia. Quick Cliff Notes of the earlier emails:

  • Freak neighbor [Paul] complained about his normal neighbor [John] keeping a couple lawn chairs on John's own lawn. John replied with what you'd expect: STFU and, by the way, worry about your own yard which is basically a sh*t-hole.
  • Unsatisfied & coming undone, Paul continued -- with a barrage of messages that included a comical "settlement offer" allowing John to keep only 1 lawn chair on his own lawn. John's response: "No"...and then to erect lawn chair towers in his backyard, in addition to discovering for Paul (& town authorities) a leaking underground oil tank on Paul's yard. Not good for Paul.

Here's the full earlier email -- seriously crazy stuff.

Several days passed -- presumably with John thinking he was done with Paul -- when Paul started again.

Check out the new, latest email string below:

- submitted by Stuart Hannig on 08/03/2009

But that Paul guy is in the right. you can't build up towers like that


whoever said you can't stack

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

whoever said you can't stack up chairs like that is a moron... why can't you? it is expression, which is protected under the first amendment. and it's on his own property... moron...


Pictures or never happened

yeah you can put whatever

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

yeah you can put whatever you want in your yard you stupid asshole, as long as it isn't potentially harmful to your neighbors


"you can't build up towers like that"?

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

seriously? unless you belong to a HOA with restrictions preventing such a display, or there is some sort of messed up zoning restriction in your town, you most certainly can do whatever you want. what country are you from?


fake. not sure why people do

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

fake. not sure why people do this shit. it's not funny if it's fake. it's just some asshole looking for attention.

IF. This was real..

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

I'd like to personally meet who these people are. They are funny. I like how John said: you are starting to become entertaining, in a disturbing quasi-psychotic sort of way.


so what if its fake?

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

so a story isnt funny if it is fiction? if it is fake, it sure is a work of art and the author is pretty damn talented to provide such an entertaining story.


Paul 0009 run away! aahhhhh!

- submitted by Dave on 08/03/2009

Who'd have thunk it, but it looks like HAL 9000 has a lower-wattage model family member, the PAUL 0009! Lessee, that acronym must stand for something like...

Persistent Asshat Umbrage Launcher...

Still has that creepy even-measured tones in his speech-to-text processing. I swear, it's enough to make me want to ask him to open the Pod Bay's doors or something. I can already hear his reply,"I'm sorry, Dave. We both know I can't do that".

Where's Dr. Chandra when you need him?


Right on- it's great fiction

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

Right on- it's great fiction or a funny as shit drama. Paul is still a d@uch, ither way. I'd read the rest of this!


This is obviously illegal

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

No matter what you crazy people think it is illegal. If it is within the regulations of the city or community that you can't have lawn ornaments that are bigger than a certain size. Not only that, but if a neighbor has something visible on their property that devalues the resale value of your house you can also sue them and have the court order it removed.

PR stunt

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

This is some type of FAKE PR media campaign for a new FOX Sitcom.

I am going to stop reading these now, they are dumb, and if the writers on the show are this bad I doubt the Sitcom will last, more than 1 season.


wow

- submitted by rofl on 08/03/2009

i believe thats possible, my neighbor had his lawyer send us a letter threatening to take us to court.. and you know why?

our garage light was to bright and was intrusive to his house. and not 1 window on his damn house has blinds, i can see clean through and see everything inside his house.


Okay, John is actually

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/03/2009

Okay, John is actually crossing the line a bit. Paul was wrong to call Zoning and to make so many requests, but John could be a little nicer and try to reason with Paul while not giving up ground. This is why we have war, people don't talk to others and people don't compromise. Paul's requests are loony, but John doesn't need to totally destroy him.

Imagine living next to a neighbor that starts accumulating tons of scrap parts and junk everywhere on his/her lawn. Do you really want to live next to it? (I'm sure there are a couple people here with neighbors like that)


This is Fake

- submitted by Mark Thomas on 08/03/2009

Look at the dates:

On Fri, 7/31/09 On Sat, 8/1/09 On Sat, 8/1/09 On Sat, 8/2/09 <--- Saturday? On Sun, 8/2/09 On Sat, 8/2/09 <--- ?

No email client would screw up the dates like that. This is obviously photoshopped.

It's still funny as hell though and made me laugh =).


someones going to get shot

Fake as fake can be

- submitted by Mr. Fake Spotter on 08/04/2009

Look at the dates and how fucked up they are, like "Mark Thomas" pointed out above.

Just looking for attention, are we? I wish I knew who this guy was so that I could call the zoning board/apartment manager/whatever where he lives and bog him down with bogus claims about how he screams loud at night or that he shits on his neighbor's lawns, stuff like that.


It was a pretty funny read,

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

It was a pretty funny read, until I saw the dates and realized this entire thing was a fraud.

Only an Idiot Would Believe This

- submitted by OnlyAnIdiotWouldBelieveThis on 08/04/2009

Its sooooooo so so so so sad that a majority of people that read this can't figure out that none of this ever happened and was just written for amusement... or to test to see how stupid/gullible the general public is.


If this is true, then John,

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

If this is true, then John, maybe Paul is crazy enough to harm you and your family if you keep egging him on.

wow. what an intense man. i wish i could be involved in something like this, it'd be so hilarious.


Me too...

- submitted by Flibberty Gibbet on 08/04/2009

We lived 2 doors away from a John. He took his perfectly nice house apart and dropped the detritus in his garden. Looked like Beiruit. Somehow managed to find a few square feet to stand up a plastic pond. Heard a "CRACK" one night - the tw@t had taken out a supporting wall and the whole row of houses shifted. Found out later he'd done his dad's plumbing over the road. Dad had no running water for 6 months. Culminated in "John" getting a girl pregnant in Germany, then her brothers "paid him a visit to have a word". Was in hospital 6 weeks. Misunderstood genius!


ummm, it's already been

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

ummm, it's already been established that this has been made up.


tree

- submitted by Tree lady on 08/04/2009

I live right next door to a neighbor like this. one who decided that my tree needed to be removed because some branches hung over his property. He hired a tree service to cut down MY TREE!! I told him he could cut off the branches at his own expense but he could not cut down the tree. He even had the tree service call me to tell me the tree had to come down. He ended up cutting off those branches and then threatening to sue me if I didnt pay the bill. I gave him the name of my lawyer and told him to work it out. Oh, and I hired a different tree service to come in and prune and trim the tree and told him "If you had waited a week, I was having the tree trimmed."


shuldve bin true

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

These emails are hilarious, and i checked up the dates, they are a bit messed up, but i dont care this story is amazingly genius and funny ;p


Mneh

- submitted by Faddy Fakery on 08/04/2009

Thought it was funny in the beginning, and thought people were crazy for calling it fake. This one is just ridiculous, and makes me want to wave my finger and go "FAKE!"

Sorry.


I have a neighbor just like

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

I have a neighbor just like this. I have had the zoning board called on my property about 20 times. My guy, however, doesn't even have the balls to send me a message about them. He hides in his house and calls the board. He's in a wheelchair and I am almost at the point where I want to nail a few 2x4's on his ramp.


This is fake. Someone tried

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

This is fake. Someone tried too hard


oh shit

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

oh shit someone tough about lawn chairs, come tell me that i'll put a round in your ass for being a waste of life.


Freak Neighbors

- submitted by Joe on 08/04/2009

We used to have a few like that and we eventually moved across town to a far better house and far better neighbors.


Oh, yeah

- submitted by Marter on 08/04/2009

If you've never lived next to a neighbor like Paul, consider yourself lucky. I put up with one for 7 years! Like beating your head against a wall, it felt so good when I stopped! (I moved...his house is unsellable!)


I agree. I think it's fake

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

I agree. I think it's fake as well. I believed it until the most recent "rant."


rants about bums

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

I liked the writing and thought it was funny. Don't know if it was fake or not but I know I planted trees in my yard so I would not have to see my neighbor because he sucks so bad.

fun rants about bums at www.street-people.com


How is it some asshole

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

How is it some asshole looking for attention if NO ONE KNOWS WHO THE FUCK WROTE IT. Hes a funny guy making a good joke, or a guy with a great sense of humor and truly fucked up neighbor


Chill out

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

Guys, it's a pretty funny set of emails, even if they are fake. It's just entertainment.

I can assure you that the author, whoever he is, did it as a joke, and is in no way trying to bring personal harm to any of you people, especially the ones calling him an attention-seeking asshole.


FAKE - here's why

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

both john and paul use exactly the same grammar and sentence structure. emails were written by the same person. it's fake.


Tower Pictures Please

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

After reading about some of the history of this lawn chair saga I started to wander just what the tower looked like...I want to see this Lawn Chair Tower. Please show the tower! LOL


This is so funny. Who knows

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

This is so funny. Who knows if it's fake, if it is so what. as for dates, it's in chronological order, thank you!!! so they had to do something to emails to make them in that order its very possible the date got pushed that way. i have a creep neighbor like thijs who's fixated on my flower pots. he's just like this person here paul.


Sooooo funny.

- submitted by kirland on 08/04/2009

Sooooo funny.


Great work of fiction.

- submitted by Anonymous on 08/04/2009

I've been greatly amused by this series, even was sucked in initially, but now it's gone too far to be plausible. Anyone who has read the entire string and still can't see it's being written for entertainment, you're pretty gullible.

I agree with a request made earlier: photos, please, or knock it off!
