Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hey there, mister Redder here, welcome back to another episode
of our slash entitled People's Stories. Our first story we'll
be reading today. My Karen neighbor demands I let her
kids play in my yard, even after they griffeeded my house.
After that, I called the police on my entitled son.
And after that, am I the jerk for saying my
boyfriend's roommate can't come to Thanksgiving dinner. Now, for every

(00:22):
thumbs up this video, kids, one, Karen has to watch
her kids and not let them graffiti the neighbor's house. Oh,
leave them alone. They're just expressing their creativity. So please
smash that like button and subscribe and turn on notifications
for new stories from Reddit every single day. My Karen
neighbor demands I let her kids play in my yard,

(00:42):
even after they graffeeded my house. My father bought the
house in the eighties and held on to it as
different developments sprung up around it. I inherited it three
years ago and have been living in it since. I
have two acres, while my surrounding neighbors have maybe half
an acre if they're lucky. The house is fairly small,
two bedrooms, two bathrooms. So I have a very large

(01:02):
front and backyard. I use maybe one fifth of the
backyard as a garden, and the rest is basically an
empty field. I've always loved kids, so I was happy
to let my neighbors' kids play in the field, with
the understanding that they would respect the property. Most of
the kids are grey, very respectful and understand that this
is not their yard. The problem is with my neighbors
to the right. They have five kids who are one, three, five, five,

(01:26):
and seven, who generally run around unsupervised. They don't come
to my yard to play very often unless the other
kids are playing soccer or baseball. The seven year old
is in charge as much as a seven year old
can be, but obviously he can't replace parental supervision. Five
days ago, the kids were playing baseball and he must
have lost track of the five year old at some point,

(01:47):
because when I came home from work, I found their
names sharp eyed onto my wall, along with some rude drawings.
I found their parents the next day and asked them
to pay for the paint. I'll need to cover it up.
They were very offended, accused me of lying, and said
they weren't going to pay If this had been all
I probably would have let it slide and covered the paint,
since it would only be like twenty dollars. But later

(02:09):
that day, one of their five year olds decided it
would be funny to throw rocks at my house. There
are several dense in the siding where the rocks hit,
and two of my windows are broken. From what I've
been quoted to fix, it's about eight hundred to nine
hundred dollars worth of damage. I talked to the parents,
who accused me of doing it myself to make their
kids look bad. I've decided those five are not allowed

(02:30):
to use my yard until the damage is paid for,
which I think is more than fair. When they came
by this morning to play soccer with the other kids,
I politely explained the situation and said they would have
to leave as they aren't allowed to play here anymore.
The seven year old was very upset, more sad than
a temper tantrum, which is understandable, but the five year
olds were both very angry. About an hour later, their

(02:52):
mom came by and went off on me, yelling at
my doorstep about how I'm a horrible person who can't
stand kids because I'm bitter and can't find a husband.
I'm standing my ground either way. But a few other
parents came by and seemed a little frustrated by my
explanation as to why that family is no longer welcome,
which is making me question things. Am I the jerk
for banning them from playing here? Edit to answer some

(03:15):
common concerns, I will be installing cameras. I dug my
dad's old trail cams out of the garage, so I'll
put those up either tonight or tomorrow. I am aware
of the liability issues with kids playing in my yard.
I'm willing to risk it. I don't want to put
up a fence. I think they're ugly. The property line
is clearly marked. I will not be banning the entire
neighborhood unless I absolutely have to. Edit too. I also

(03:39):
have a meeting scheduled with my attorney to discuss the
possibility of drawing up a liability waiver for the parents
to sign forgot to put that in the last edit.
They're also usually unsupervised. Typically there's a parent or two
hanging around anyway, and I work from home, so the
kids know to knock on my door and ask me
to watch them if their parents are busy. I'm also
looking into an umbrella policy that would be more likely

(04:01):
to cover any injuries that occur. Not the jerk, not
one bit. I'm worried that this might escalate and the
family will cause further damage to your property out of anger.
I'd get some camera set up if I were you,
to protect yourself and so you have definite proof if
or when there is a next time. You're the jerk
for not calling the police. Are you really just going

(04:22):
to pay eight hundred dollars and not allow them in
the yard? How about they pay and they're still not
allowed over and if they come you call for trespass.
You're the jerk. As a mother of six myself, our
kids need a place to stay and have fun. You
can't expect us to take them to the park every
single day. Kids are supposed to run around the neighborhood
and get in trouble. That's how I grew up, and

(04:44):
believe it or not, I turned out just fine. If
you live in a neighborhood with other people, like it
or not, you're going to have kids running around, you know,
being kids. Trust me, No parents like dealing with a
grumpy old neighbor who complains about everything that their kids do.
If it were up to people like you, my kids
would be stuck inside twenty four to seven, being quiet

(05:04):
as a mouse. I've had neighbors complain before about just
about everything. My kids screaming, leaving trash in their yards,
my dog's barking too much, you name it. I tell
them the same thing every time. Don't like having neighbors,
how about you move out to the middle of nowhere
where you belong since you're unable to deal with living
in an actual neighborhood. My kids have been playing outside

(05:26):
all day and the boomer neighbors are sitting on their
deck right now. I already know they're going to be
calling the hoa again like they always do. What they
don't know is that I'm friends with the head of
the hoa, and every time we talk we laugh about
him and his bs. Bottom line, if you can't stand
living next door to a family, just go live somewhere
rural where we won't have to deal with your complaining. Well,

(05:50):
don't you sound like a pleasant neighbor. Well what would
you do in this situation? Would you let them keep
playing in your yard or not please let us know.
I get a couple of big, mean, hungry dogs, is
what I do. I called the police on my entitled
son for context, I female thirty five, have a son
that was born when I was married to my first husband.

(06:11):
I was young when he was born, and his father
was horrible to me. My ex husband's mom was constantly
in our lives, trying to take over and make my
son hers. I left my ex when I was in
my early twenties, and my ex mother in law ended
up taking my son into another state and filing for custody.
She went to a state that has grandparents' rights as
ours did end. I fought her for years and ended

(06:33):
up getting remarried to my current spouse and we had
a son together when I was in my mid twenties,
a boy who is now ten. I see my oldest
son only during the summer and the holidays. I finally
got the court case moved to our local court and
the judge says that I was wronged and ordered shared
custody and visitation. My ex mother in law made a
huge deal that my son needed to stay with her

(06:54):
during the week because of school, and the judge went
with it. So he could finish high school in an
environment where he was familiar. My ex mother in law
has ruined my son just like she did her own.
She's given him any and everything he's wanted. She's taught
him no respect and kept him very sheltered. She literally
jumps on people if they don't give him his way. So,

(07:15):
in turn, my son is loud, violent, and all around
sad to be around. So he came up to visit
during Halloween and he acted awful. My husband's mom lives
with us and she isn't well. She's doing chemo. She's
been a big help with my youngest son so that
I could help my husband with our business. My youngest
is a delight to be around. He's polite, funny, and respectful.

(07:36):
We've taught him that you don't expect anything unless you
work for it. I went and picked my oldest up,
and his attitude started right away. Because his phone died
and the charger I had in the truck didn't fit
his phone. He wanted me to get off the interstate
and buy him an overpriced one from a truck stop
or something. I told him no, I'd get him one
when we got into town, and that next time, he

(07:56):
needs to remember to bring one for the house and
for the car. I suggested making a packing list ahead
of time. Now, my youngest was in the back with
his tablet playing quietly, and my oldest realized the tablet
was plugged into a car charger. He asked his younger
brother for the charger and I told him it's an
Apple charger. It won't work with your Android. My oldest said,

(08:16):
you don't know that. Shut up. Next thing I know,
he's forcibly taking the Apple charger and is trying to
fit it into his phone. When it didn't work, he
threw it into the back seat of the truck. My
youngest just plugged his tablet back up without a word,
but I told my oldest that his behavior wasn't acceptable.
Fast forward to the next day. Older son is still
fuming at me because I made him wait, bad mouthed

(08:39):
me to his grandma, et cetera. I left to go
to the office, as did my husband, and my mother
in law was going to take my youngest son to
the treat trail for Halloween. She asked other son if
he wanted to go, and he told her to kick rocks.
My husband told him not to speak to her like that.
I knew trouble was brewing, I just didn't know how bad. Apparently,
mother in law and younger son went to the treat trail,

(09:02):
and older son called mother in law to tell her
he wanted Heartiase, also known as Carl's Junior. My mother
in law told him there was food at home and
that it would be a while before she could get in.
Older son told her that she needed to bring it
right now. My mother in law told him to either
eat what was at the house or wait. He lost
it on her and hung up on her. Mother in

(09:22):
law called me, and I told her not to reward
his bad behavior. I told her we had plans to
go out later to eat. He could wait. So when
mother in law gets home, she tries to open the
door and her key won't work. Older son comes to
the door and tells her that he's angry and doesn't
want her in the house, so he locked her out.
He told her to wait outside until he either felt

(09:43):
like opening the door or until I came home. My
mother in law told him to open the door asap.
She called me crying and I went off. I called
older son and told him he didn't make the rules
in my house, he went by them, and that he
would be punished if he didn't open the door. He
really thought I was playing. I left the office and
went home que disaster. I opened the door and older

(10:05):
son was there on the other side. Mother in law
and younger son had been waiting in her car, and
older son was blocking threshold, saying that he had told
mother in law to keep outside, that it was her
punishment for telling him no. I told him to move now.
I tried to push past him, and he pushed me
back outside, threatening to lock us all out. I went
to go inside again and he put his hand in

(10:26):
my face and pushed me back out. I told him
that's it. I'm calling the police. He didn't think I
was serious, but I did it. I told the dispatcher
that my older son was refusing to let me into
my own home and had put his hands on me.
Older son goes into a rage, and I mean a
pure rage. He comes out of the door, screaming and threatening,
tries to take my phone, and the lady tells me

(10:48):
she'll send someone asap. I mean I had to literally
fight him to keep him from breaking my phone. Then
he goes after my younger son and starts saying horrible
things to him. My mother in law locks herself off
and my younger son in the car, as my older
son proceeds to kick and punch the car. He even
cracked the windows in the window shield. Older son goes
after mother in law just as my husband pulls up.

(11:11):
He's telling mother in law this is her fault, that
she just needed to do what he said. My husband
tries to restrain older son, and older son is screaming
that he will have my husband arrested, et cetera. The
police came and they immediately restrain older son and put
him into the back of the van. My husband and
I explained the situation and I told the officer that
my ex mother in law had shared custody. So the

(11:33):
officer calls ex mother in law and tells her what's happening.
He puts her on speaker and she immediately puts the
blame on us, saying we provoked him and we were
mistreating him. The officer told her that didn't seem to
be the case, as a neighbor had come forward and
said she had called nine one one. Also, plus had
a security camera that showed the entire thing. Ex mother
in law jumps to saying, the police here can't do

(11:55):
anything with older son as he's a resident of another state.
Blah blah blah. The cop tells ex mother in law
that's not the case and it seems like older son
needs to learn his lesson. The officer hangs up and
ex mother in law immediately calls me. I put her
on speakerphone. She's not the smartest, yet thinks she is
if I had older son arrested, that I would be

(12:15):
a bad mom and that he was justified in what
he had said and done. I asked her about the
true son thing, and she said he was my only heir,
as he was my first son and from my first marriage,
and divorce is a sin. I told her that's not
how it works. I told her I'm tired of him
taking my home over and trying to hurt others. Long
story short, he spent three days in jail before hearing,

(12:38):
and the judge asked me what I wanted to do.
So older son is being sent to a group home.
My ex mother in law fought the entire way, but
had no hold because both officers and my neighbor gave
statements now ex mother in law is saying I'm ruining
his life and I'm a bad parent. She's also accusing
my husband of mistreating him. Okay, so I've noticed a

(12:58):
lot of comments saying I a bit and in my son,
gave him to his paternal grandma, et cetera. That's not
the case. I live in a Commonwealth state with no
grandparents' rights, and she had twenty five plus years of
residency in a state that does have them. When I
left her son my ex husband, she became furious. In
her home state, a grandparent has the right to intervene

(13:18):
in the child's life during the parent's divorce, and she
used that to her advantage. A judge in her home
state granted her visitation with my son, even though he
was born in my state. During a visit, she filed
for custody and was granted it until the divorce was finalized.
The divorce took over two years due to my ex
not wanting to sign papers and being difficult, so older

(13:38):
son was almost ten when it was finalized. I got
something called a change of venue excepted and the custody
case was transferred to my local court where it should
have been there. The entire time. Of course, ex mother
in law wasn't going to willingly hand him over, so
she kept filing appeals, continuances, and other things to prolong
the case. It eventually went from family court to Circuit court,

(14:00):
which is also known as high court, for that judge
to decide. By this time, older son was at the
legal age where he could have a voice in court
and was established at school an ex mother in law's area.
The judge said that he could finish school there and
then be transferred up here for school. My ex husband
had signed his parental rights over to his mom and
the judge had to take that into consideration. He did

(14:21):
this to avoid the state going after him for support.
The local judge ordered ex mother in law to do
therapy as well as older son, and there were issues
with them not complying. My ex mother in law ruined
her own son. He's in his thirties, won't work, doesn't drive,
and expects her to keep him off. I did nothing wrong,
aside from leaving my horrible ex husband. The recent psyche

(14:41):
valuation said older son lacks empathy for others and has
delusions of grandeur, meaning he thinks he's better than others.
Ex mother in law also had to do a session
and that therapists said ex mother in law is similar
in regards and that her expectations aren't realistic. They both
have superiority complexes. My ex mother in law used to
lock me out of my own home because she wanted

(15:02):
to punish me or limit my contact with my own
son when she took him. I did contact local and
state police, but they couldn't go into her state without
the permission of officials there, and by then she had
filed paperwork. She had nothing to use against me, would
not abide by court set visitation, et cetera. I have
two homes, a business, and I'm very self sufficient. My

(15:23):
family life is good, not dysfunctional. We've done everything we
can to incorporate my son into our family, but he's
refused to accept us. I'm sorry I was a crappy
mom for not allowing him to lock me out of
my own darn house. Holy cal you did the right thing.
Your son is a threat to everyone in your house,
and his grandmother is doing him no favors. Get him

(15:43):
the help he needs. Don't abandon him, but don't risk
your family's safety. I would be very careful from now on,
your older son will blame you for everything, and your
ex mother in law will probably stroke that fire. Set
up cameras, and make sure you let the police know
when he's released, because with all the rage he displayed,
revenge might be on the cards. Also, where is his

(16:04):
father and all this? Did he just walk away and
let mummy take over? Your ex mother in law created
a psychopath. Way to go, Granny. You really need to
think about safety right now. Your son will not be
locked up forever. You need cameras and a loud house alarm.
Make sure cameras overlook your vehicles. Oh yeah, your ten
year old is a sweetie? Am I the jerk for

(16:25):
saying my boyfriend's roommate can't come to Thanksgiving dinner? Me
twenty six female, and my boyfriend, thirty four male, have
been dating for nearly a year and a half. Now
tomorrow he's coming to Thanksgiving dinner at my dad's house
and meeting my family for the first time. I'm extremely
family oriented and it's so important to me that he's
finally meeting them. This also means the world to my

(16:46):
family because I rarely bring men home and they've been
wanting to meet him for a long time. He's aware
of this and how much this meeting means to me,
and has assured me that he's looking forward to it too.
This afternoon, he asked if his roommate could come too.
I was caught off guard and said no. I didn't
even ask my family, who I'm sure would say yes.
But it's a hard boundary for me. I barely know

(17:07):
his roommate, but he's military and won't be able to
be with his own family for the holiday, which is
why my boyfriend asked. I understand and appreciate his compassion
and kindness, but I need this event to be just him,
me and my family, without his buddy who's a stranger
to me. I called him to talk through it, but
he's extremely upset and wasn't really responding. I asked if

(17:28):
he's still coming, and he said yes. Then I asked
if he's okay, and he said no, but that he
will be. I told him to reach out to me
when he's ready, and that I understand if he doesn't
want to talk to me right now. So I haven't
heard from him since the phone call a couple of
hours ago. I feel like a massive jerk, but this
is one of the rare events where I've put my
foot down in this relationship and refuse to accommodate his wants.

(17:50):
So am I the jerk update for more clarity and
because people are making a lot of unfounded assumptions. I
have briefly met his roommate hy and By on multiple occasions.
We barely know each other though, because he has a
schedule that makes it so he's rarely around when I am,
and we've never had the opportunity to have a full
conversation surpassing basic greetings. I made it very clear that

(18:12):
I'd love to have him and include him in my family,
but the first meeting between my parents and boyfriend wasn't
the place to do. So. My boyfriend has not met
my family because I'm very particular about who I bring
home and will not bring home someone unless I'm one
hundred percent comfortable that this is the correct choice. I'm
protective of my family and don't want them to get attached.
I get it's unconventional, but it's my choice and every

(18:35):
party involved respects that. I ended up apologizing to my boyfriend,
asking my parents and inviting his roommate, who wasn't aware
my boyfriend had asked about him coming, he can't even
come anyways. I appreciated the comments, even the ones calling
me a heartless monster, but no one is put out
in the end, not the jerk. You're allowed to set

(18:55):
whatever boundaries you want, but don't be surprised if, after
thinking it over sides, it's a deal breaker. People in
the military often tend to become family to each other,
so from his point of view, you're basically telling him
he has to leave a brother alone because your heart
isn't big enough to include him. He'll probably honor his
commitment to your family to attend, but it'll be very
surprised if the relationship lasts passed this weekend. A. It

(19:19):
doesn't say boyfriend is military though, and B if he were,
if the guy is so important to him, maybe he
should have introduced him a bit better to his girlfriend.
I think no jerks here is a good call. Just
don't agree that it should be a deal breaker, or
that there should be shade for her heart not being
big enough at it. Never mind, I saw a comment
about them both being military. I still think in this case, though,

(19:41):
the boyfriend should have made sure she knew him better
before springing a last minute ask like this honor though
OP isn't hosting. If OP was hosting and he asked
to invite the room mate, that would be fine. But
to ask her family to host a stranger just because
boyfriend is invited is odd, especially when OP does know
the guy well, not the jerk. First of all, asking

(20:04):
in the day before the event is rude in my opinion,
especially for something that involves a lot of cooking if
you truly don't know the guy. It's also rude of
your boyfriend to want to invite a stranger to your
family's house for a holiday. Yes, maybe Thanksgiving is supposed
to be about generosity and giving, but I would not
be comfortable asking my parents if a stranger can come
to our house for Thanksgiving. My dad is military, so

(20:26):
I get the whole being away from your family for
the holidays, But if the man is in his thirties,
it's likely not his first Thanksgiving away from home, and
why would he want to spend it with strangers. I
don't know. Your boyfriend has the right to be upset
about the decision, but you also have the right to
say no, it's weird to me. If you knew the guy, then, yeah,
you'd be the jerk for saying no. But he's almost

(20:47):
a stranger, so no, thank you. If this was Valentine's
Day or your parents anniversary, i'd understand better. Thanksgiving and
Christmas are typically about giving and generosity. I think it
would have been better for everyone if you had let
the roommate join. I personally think it would have been
good to see the boyfriend interact with people he just met,
along with someone he's comfortable with. On the other hand,

(21:08):
now your boyfriend has seen this side of you and
he may not like it. Was it worth the risk
of him thinking differently of you soft you're the jerk. Well,
who do you think is the jerk, Opie or her boyfriend?
Please let us know? Corporate said so, I used to
sling pizza and I had this one couple who would
regularly come in and order a specialty pizza think meat Lovers,

(21:30):
but with three times the amount of toppings, like extra
extra everything. Plus they would add extra of other toppings
that weren't originally on the pizza, like olives and onions.
So of course this meant that it never cooked thoroughly,
even after sending it through the oven. Twice. Every single
time they would complain about the pizza being too burnt
on the edges and not cooked enough, and it took

(21:51):
too long, and that they also wanted more of the toppings.
I tried repeatedly to explain to them that every extra
topping you add makes the portion size of all the
toppings go down. I don't even understand why we were
allowed to add so many toppings on it the register. Anyways,
about the fifth or sixth time I replaced the pizza
for them because they kept complaining to corporate and received credit,

(22:12):
the man came in again and said they spoke to corporate,
and Corporate wants me to make the pizza the way
they wanted. I knew that this wasn't true. There really
wasn't a corporate customers could call, just a call center,
and those people did not care. But I decided I'd
do exactly as they asked, but made sure to explain
to them that if I made it their way and
it didn't turn out well, they wouldn't be getting any

(22:32):
more remakes. I took the order and made it as
they were expecting, kind of. I put full portions of
each topping on that monster. To say that the pizza
was a mountain is an understatement. It didn't even fit
in the oven. I had to take toppings off of it.
I did feel a little bad at this point, knowing
full well they paid with the store credit over forty

(22:53):
dollars for this one pizza, and there was no way
it would ever cook properly. So I did give it
two runs through the oven, but that still didn't help.
It was panned to pan toppings, so getting out of
the pan sucked, and I just put it and cut
it right in the box so the toppings wouldn't fall everywhere.
After I cut it, the slices disappeared under the toppings
and you couldn't even see crust, so it just looks

(23:14):
like a giant pile of trash toppings dumped in a box.
I couldn't even close it. I brought it to the
customer and he started to lose it on me, saying
it took too long and it looked like a mess,
and he wanted another credit. I pulled out his receipt
and asked which part wasn't up to par. He said
it didn't look cooked, and I reminded him how I
warned him that this is what would happen with the

(23:34):
amount of toppings we were using. I showed him the
crust underneath and went through all of the toppings in
the extras. Everything was accounted for as he had asked,
so I told him I'd let management and corporate know
that it was made to his liking. Never saw them again.
Neighbor is big mad about my racetrack. Okay, So it
finally happened today. Last spring, my family moved into our

(23:57):
dream home. We had bought the property year years ago
and through lockdown, finally were able to get our dream
home built. The property is essentially in the middle of nowhere,
with the nearest neighbor being about a mile down the road.
On the few hundred acres we have, I decided to
do my best at recreating some professional drift tracks from Driftmasters,
European Championship and Formula Drift. We were able to create

(24:19):
one for one models of Wall, New Jersey, Irwindale, California, Texas,
Poland Seattle, English Town, New Jersey. Everything is up to
code in Greenland by the County. We plan to open
a drift school on the property in the future. We've
also built six cars to eight hundred horse power. I
list all this because it is loud and smoky here
on the farm a lot, and for the past seven

(24:41):
or eight months we've had absolutely no issues, minus a
trespasser destroying his car and our shed. Today that changed.
I have some family in town for the holiday, and
among them are my cousin who's thirty nine and his
son who's seventeen. Having grown up drifting with my cousin,
we were super hyped to take his boy out and
slide around the track, so we grabbed a couple of

(25:01):
the track cars and cut loose. About forty minutes into it,
and as we were swapping out tires, I hear sirens
and step out of the garage. Coming down my driveway
are two fire engines, a couple of police cars, and
an suv. They all park and hop out and I
ask how I can help them. They ask about a
fire along with noise, to which I explained the drift

(25:22):
cars and motion to all of the racetrack around the property.
I show them my county documents which allow for the tracks,
et cetera. At this point, my apparent neighbor, male in
his fifties i've never met, starts yelling about the noise
and how I should be arrested. The sergeant who had
shown up with a gaggle of responders stopped him and
informed me that we aren't doing anything illegal and so

(25:43):
as long as we keep our noise to before ten
pm on weekdays at eleven pm on weekends, we are
within the law. Neighbor called us some really not nice
names before turning and going off on the sergeant. We
specifically chose this property to build on as its zone
commercial and automotive on top of residential. The fire department
left almost as soon as they arrived. After the neighbor

(26:05):
had his miltdown, he was trespassed by the police department.
A couple of the police hung around and watched us
hit a few laps. I offered to take them out
and even teach them if they would like, free of charge.
They then left too. I come here to ask reddit,
am I the jerk for building a giant race facility
at my home, which is located in the most appropriate
area one can find. Update. Neighbor just came back to

(26:27):
knock on my door and tell me that we will
no longer be racing cars on our property, threaten to
destroy the vehicles and was all but foaming at the mouth.
Police came, He called them and they immediately arrested him
for trespassing. This guy is going to be a great neighbor. Nah. Edit,
we do have trail cams all around the property. No
one can get in without being seen. They are numerous

(26:50):
inside the property too. Thanks for all the concern. Well,
I recently bought a little house at the limit of
a very small town, and one of the things I
cherished there is the side. But if you decided to
open a branch there, with all the paperwork done, I
just would have to sell and leave. No need to
go through the worrying, trespassing or having a heart attack.
It will not change the end result. I mean, if

(27:13):
he can hear you, that sucks for him. You don't
move to the countryside to listen to cars going around
a track. You know you have the law on your side,
But I sympathize with your neighbor. Imagine living far from
everything and enjoying your peace and quiet until a new
neighbor builds a racetrack. There might be a reason he
lives where he does. Maybe he has horses or other
animals that get spooked every time you race. I can

(27:35):
think of lots of scenarios where a racetrack is highly
disturbing for someone who wants silence away from a big city.
Have you had any conversations with him at all? Maybe
all of this can be resolved if you simply talk
to him and try to understand his point of view
and all this. You're not alone on this planet, and
the sounds and smells you produce reach far beyond your
property lines. Yes, it's lawful, but it's also really frustrating

(27:58):
when the peace of your home is shattered by someone
setting up business and proximity to your home, a home
you bought partly due to the peace and quiet. It
also tends to decrease the value of neighboring property, as
they cannot, for example, enjoy their garden without all of
the reving. You say it's a mile from your property
to your neighbors, but is the track a mile away
or does it come significantly closer to your neighbors since

(28:20):
it encircles your land. First, I'm so jealous of your racetrack.
If your neighbor wants to sell their home, let me
know I will move to live next door to you.
Don't tell my friends because they'll try to outbid me
for this house. I can see why your neighbor is mad,
although his home is built in an area that is
zoned for it. I think people never imagine someone's going

(28:40):
to build a racetrack next door. Most people are not
aware that the area they live in is zoned for it.
That's still not your fault or your problem. If he
hates it that much, he'll move and make space for
someone like me to move into the area. You need
to get louder. Build a monster truck with a huge
diesel and massive stacks with Whistler's built in. That will

(29:01):
really get to him. Well, who you think is the jerk,
opie or his neighbor? Please let us know. I'm probably
biased because I can't stand hearing neighbors making noise. I
have some sort of condition where engines revving and kids
screaming and base thumping. It drives me insane and I
just can't explain it in words. Am I the jerk
for not standing up for my wife when my uncle

(29:23):
made a joke about her. I haven't seen my mom
in a year. Last year, there was a big fight
between me, my wife, and my mother about how Christmas
would work and who would host my mom decided she
didn't want to see me anymore. It sucks, but I'm
not going to beg her. My wife and I have
a disagreement regarding our one and a half year old son.
She thinks my mom is a horrible person for not

(29:44):
sending him gifts, cards, asking for pictures. I think if
my mom actually wants no contact, she's doing the respectful thing. Also,
we both agree she wouldn't be allowed to see him,
so I don't really get what my wife wants. I've
asked her to not bad mouth my mom to any
of my family. I want to preserve the few relationships
I have left, and it's honestly embarrassing. My grandparents gave

(30:06):
my mom zero help with me because not their kid,
not their problem, and that was with them being fairly
close to my mom, so I can't imagine how they
would react to hearing my wife's view on this. Recently,
we ran into my uncle at my grandparents house. It
was awkward, as I know that dude hates me and
is one hundred percent on my mom's team, but we
were all guilted into staying for lunch. My grandmother was

(30:28):
trying to get my uncle to come for Thanksgiving, and
he got all upset and said, no, she knows. He
spends all holidays with my mom. My wife then asked
how my mom was, and I felt myself cringe. My
uncle said she's great. My wife said we wouldn't know,
as she never sends any gifts for our son, so
maybe she's not okay. I gave her a look, begging

(30:48):
her to stop. My uncle's wife burst out laughing. My
uncle asked if she was kidding or if she really
thought my mom was going to buy gifts for a
kid she doesn't even know. My wife went on a
rant how she would do anything to have any amount
of contact with our future grandkids. My uncle laughed and said, wow,
such a gold digger. You put my ex who I

(31:09):
can't stand to shame. My wife immediately looked like she
was going to cry, but I just couldn't bring myself
to say anything. I was mortified, and I had begged
her to not bring up the gift thing. She asked
if I was going to defend her. I said no,
and she ran out of the room. We left, and
she's furious with me. She says I betrayed her and
My mom is going to laugh when she heard I

(31:31):
told her that she humiliated me, and I'd begged her
to stop with the gifts. We all know if his
mom did send gifts or request photos, wife would refuse
them and probably rant about how horrible his mom is
to want access to the kids but not them. Everyone
sucks here, not because you didn't defend her, but I
have a feeling there's a good reason your mom and

(31:52):
uncle want nothing to do with you. I would assume
it's more to do with the wife than with him,
although I guess it still makes him a jerk to
bring a toxic person into his family and let her
wreak havoc. Not the jerk. Why is your wife so
desperate for gifts from someone she's no contact with. She
opened the door to everything that happened after asking about
your mom, so she needs to live with it. How

(32:15):
exactly does she want you to defend the indefensible? Everyone
sucks here because you all sound like awful people. That's
really all there is to it. I could try to
get into the details, but really, you all suck. Try
to bring up your kid to be better. Good luck
with that. Support our channel by joining as a member
