    Angry Water War w/Neighbor!!!!

    Need to vent... I have been living in a construction zone hell for like the last two months or so... My neighbor 4 houses away swears my house is flooding his basement... But no one else in between is getting wet. I have no flooding at mi casa so I don't get it. The city has torn up just about every inch of asphalt and sidewalk trying to find the [email protected] leak. No luck. Of course they come around to jack hammer at 7:30 am almost every day after I work the night before.

    Jack asses with jack hammers... I wanna run one up my neighbors ass!!!!! Anyway long story short... The city came yesterday and turned off my water until I can provide certification from a master plumber stating that all my pipes are fine. Of course I have to pay for this. My water bill is like $45 for the quarter, I wash clothes like its going out of style, and run my dishwasher on a daily basis... I hardly think this is my problem. I wish my neighbor would leave me alone already... The Italian Girl from Jersey is getting ready to come out!!! I am trying to keep my cool... But it is becomming increasingly harder.

    I am at my wits end... With all this... So here I am Day 2 with no water... I wish my girlfriend was home I really want to take a shower. No water means I can't flush my toilet or anything. I want to ______ my fucking neighbor!!!!!

    I am waiting for the plumber to come... Where the f*ck is he?????? He wasd supposed to be here two hours ago!!!

    Can I sue my neighbor for my unnecessary plumbing expense! First time in almost 4 years I am pissed about being a homeowner!!!!!!

    If the plumber cannot find a problem with your house, then I suggest you have a lawyer send a letter to your neighbor asking him to stop harassing you or you will prove the cause is not your house and he will be sued for the cost of proving you are not the cause.

    ^^ Yup what Mast said. That's messed up that he could even persuade the city to go ahead and cut off your water!

    Update: The saga continues... Now I have to schedule an appointment to have City officials (read Official Idiots) come back and meet with my plumber to realize "OH!!! There really is no broken pipe" Fucking Bastards!!!!!!!!


    Of course that will be at my expense again.

    I called my lawyer. He advised me there is nothing I can do legally to sue my neighbor that I can try to go after the City for compennsation for the $$ I've spent do resolve this situation. Unfortunately, the stupid guy from Public Works (water department) is making it impossible to schedule this appointment. Friday seems like the best day for both parties. OMG... it's only Wednesday. Plus Friday (day) is the first day of my work week... So now I have to take off. So it will inevitably cost me more.

    I always said I am a city girl... But now I am thinking "Green Acres is the Place for me!!!!" FUCK THIS CITY!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am on a mad rant!!!!! I sent the Mayor a nasty (although well written, if I do say so myself) your employees are ruining the city email... I wonder if his office will respond???

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Oh I just got an idea. Why don't you call your news. Doesn't every city have like the I-Team? Like the investigate problems and help you? Try that route. Since it will more than likely be negative press for the city, trust me they will fix it. Call your news station and find out babe.

    Translation: not worth his time and expense. Sit his happy little butt down and make him type out a letter voicing your displeasure. Pay him to write the letter. Then sue everyone in state court pro se.

    What a load of crap. Talk to another lawyer because it certainly sounds like your neighbor and/or the city should have to compensate you for this kind of harassment. Has he explained WHY he thinks your house is the problem?

    Sounds to me like this is either a sexual thing ("maybe she'll come shower at my house and I can nail her!") or stripper harassment ("I'll stick it to the nasty stripper so I can show everyone what a Big Man I am; she's just a stripper so she can't do anything about it!"). Don't let him think he can continue doing this or it'll just get worse.

    No, I wish it was that easy... The jerk-off has no life and I think he is easily amused by creating chaos in the lives of others for his own personal getting off glory!!! That's alright... He's got the right one. I just had another plumber come who recomended that I just go ahead and replace the water line because my insurance company will reimburse me afterwards. Hmmmmmmmmm.... Now I have to think about it. Oh... Calgon Please Take Me Away... And it sucks cause I don't have any water to run a bath.

    I hate being a grown-up!!

    Funny annecdote.

    My good friend from college lives in Baltimore, he's had problems with water in his basement. He's been fighting with his neighbors over whose fault it is.

    Does your neighbor have a Westie?

    Cripes, whatta freakin' MESS! So sorry to hear about this! The only thing I can think of (where I go for answers) is nolo.com, a legal website. How about contacting a local or city newspaper, don't they have investigative people too? I do wish you the best of luck, you deserve it, keep us updated.

    Day 3 living like a freakin Amish person... Madder by the minute!!!!!

    So the water department came to investigate the problem yesterday afternoon. Funny, about an hour and a half after they left now I have water in my basement. Hmmmmmm... About three hours later I had some random plumber show up asking if I wanted him to fix my broken water line. The line that was said by my plumber wasn't broken. My plumber came back this morning, now the fu*kin line is broke. Hmmmmmmm...

    All right kids... Todays lesson: "Scouting"
    Apparently "scouting" occurs when a City worker intentionally breaks something then notifies his people to come fix the unwarrented broken utility. The fixer person then gives the City official a kick-back off the repair.

    Oh... The plot thickens!!!!! I guess because I am a women (20 something) they think I'm stupid. Not quite the case. I guess I look like an easy target. Appearances can be deceiving. Obviously this dude doesn't subscribe to the truth that "Hell Hath NO Fury Like a Woman Scorn"

    Okay B-more... Full fledged Media investigation into this lucrative practice. Nothing worse than a pissed on woman with a computer, a phone book, and a father who supports the campiagns of a lot of Judges and Councilmen in this area!!!

    I DECLARE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!

    What I want to know is, from the get go, why did your neighbor think your house was flooding his house? I mean, you're four houses away from him, so where would he even get that bizzare idea?

    Another thing I learned while working for lawyers for 8 years. Take pictures of everything...before, during, after. And, don't tell people that you did. Let them get caught in perjury.
