    So I had this happen to me last night and it's been really bothering me since. I'm looking for advice on how to deal with it.
    I have a shed in my backyard that we've furnished into an office with electricity and all and I sometimes go out there to hit my vapor bong.


    Anyway, I'm sitting out there on my laptop when I hear something outside. I turn to look and this old guy (I'm thinking he was a guest of my neighbor) is staring looking at me through the gap in the fence. I stare right back at him. I'm way to high/drunk at this time to get out of my shed and talk to him and tell him to mind his own business.


    So I just stare right back at him. I go back to what I'm doing, hitting my vapor bong because fuck him. I look back a minute later and he's still staring at me. I just glare right back at him and we lock eyes for a minute or two, now we're in a staring contest. After what seems like an eternity (I'm drunk/high, no concept of time) I just give him the finger and close my blinds. The damn things wouldn't close all the way and there is a gap in the bottom. I can't figure it out so I just leave it and figure it's good enough. A couple minutes later I take a look back and the same guy is still staring at me in my shed through the crack in the blinds.


    I could confront him, but there is the possibility he could play dumb or in my drunk/high state I was also a little paranoid and the situation wasn't what I thought it was. I wasn't making much noise, vapor doesn't produce a smell that would be noticeable outside the shed. So I don't know what this guys problem is.


    This is really bothering me, I feel like I should have privacy in my own yard let alone I shouldn't have neighbors creeping through windows at me, and I feel like my personal space has been violated. I'm really not sure what to do about it other than close my blinds when I go out there. Still there will be that thought that someone is listening to whatever I'm doing out there.
     
  2. Other than putting up something to cover the gap in your fence there really isn't much you can do. As long as he is on his side of the fence and not trespassing on your property it's perfectly legal. You can't arrest someone for looking in a particular direction. Your best bet is to plant some bushes (fast growing preferably) along your fence line to block the gaps.

    Thanks for the reply,


    I know he's not doing anything illegal, It's just creepy as hell. I'm just kind of hoping he was an old guy who's lost his mind and I won't see him again.


    Edit: I also am not worried about him calling the cops because he wouldn't be able to prove it and everything would be out of the shed by the time they arrived. Also, wouldn't let them search my house without a warrant because there is no need to. He's complaining about something I'm doing in my shed. I'd also tell them how he was staring through my windows and that would pretty much be that. It is illegal here, but most cops really don't care. Even if I did get caught 1/8 gram wouldn't be enough for a cop to bother.


    From now on though when I go out there I am closing my blinds.

     
  4. Set up a sprinkler system.aim it@hole in fence. ;)
     
  5. Lots of options really, I like the bush idea. I am kind of a dick when it comes to these things...I may put up a sign that says fuck off you old fuck. Maybe a cardboard cut out of me with a middle finger pointing in his direction. Become a nudist and call him a fag every time he looks. Place a mirror where the gap is...unless its one of those wooden fences with tons of gaps.


    I still vote to plant bushes.
     
  6. You say get the fuck off my property before I have you arrested.
     
  7. Not really an option for where it is. Plus it would take too long to grow.


    Better yet, next time he does it I'll grab the pressure washer and spray him. Say I decided it would be a good idea to clean the fence.

    He wasn't on my property, was staring at me in my yard from his yard. Not doing anything illegal, just being a creep.

    Oh I like the pressure washer idea. I think bushes are always an option, you could spend some money and get some decent sized ones that would work right out the gate, or buy some quick growing ones that would take a couple years. And chances are it will increase your property value...the old 2 birds with 1 stone [​IMG]
     
  9. Dude probably just wants to smoke some bud
     
  10. sprinkler system is a good idea. being a corner house, sometimes we get retards who want to park in front of our house or someshit, my dad or I will notice and turn on the sprinklers.
     
  11. Good fences make good neighbors.


    Cover the hole
     
  12. Well I mean you are high and drunk before 5pm. I would probably just not be drunk and go ask whats up. And if he has a problem he wants to get pissy about them tell him to suck a dick and get a life.


     
  13. By the sounds of it,sucking his dick is prolly what he wants lol

    It was after 6.
     
  15. After your one finger salute I don't think spraying him with a pressure washer is a good idea. There is a possibility he might call the police and claim you are harassing him. Plus he could throw in the fact he caught you toking. It's highly improbable that would happen but there's always a chance. Put a tarp over the gap or keep your blinds down. Dousing him with water would only cause friction between you and your neighbors. Do you really want to start a war with them? If he has some sort of mental issues or has Alzheimer's that would make you the bad guy. Best to leave it alone. If he does it again take steps to block his view.
     
  16. I'd tell him to go fuck himself next time
     
  17. Robert Frost, my favorite poet.
     
  18. Could be serial killer. Maybe it's its a cow dressed like an old man.

  20. You used your blinds. Problem solved.
