Bought this house back in February. It needed a lot of work. One project was clearing a small pile of junk in front on the north side of the house. One "item" was a 55 gallon drum with a small amount of unknown liquid. I took it to the alley and left it by the dumster for the city to pick up.
About a month later a woman walks up while we're moving furniture and says: Hi, where's my barrel. I told her if it was the one beside my house, and I had assumed it had been left by the previous owners, and I had taken it to the dumpster.
She apparently went and retrieved it, and set next to her house.
FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS.
Then guess where it wound up? So I went over and knocked on their door, but no one would answer (both cars home).
Later I went and knocked again. No one answered.
I was in my garage about 30 minutes later, and out the front door she walks.
I told she needed to come get her barrel. She got mad, and drug it over to her yard, and said: how's that.
I said: fine, if you wanna junk up your yard, but y'all ain't junking up mine.
20 minutes later, hubby showed up on my porch. Hes a big'un, and he ain't happy.
So I follow him to the disputed area and he shows me the property line, which he misses by about 6 foot, then he proceeds to tell me I'd better never attack his wife again, to come see him if I have a problem.
I told him to answer his dam door then, and nobody attacked his wife.
He tells me he just can't believe we're not gonna get along over a 55 gallon drum. I advised him we would, as long as he didn't park it my yard.
He didn't like that either. I finally told him I thought we could get along if he stayed in his yard, and I stayed in mine, as I was already not liking him.
He left. But the upside is, the barrel containing burnt motor oil ain't in my yard anymore.
