And started going on about “when you have so many dogs you cant afford to go out and live the highlife you have to stay in and look after them rather than neglect them” my friends dogs are treated like princes, only the best food, 3 meals a dog, walked every day, and a huge garden to play in, how can she say they are neglected. At this I obviously get angry, one for saying they were neglected, and as I say, I had only been there for as I say 10-15 minutes anyway, and my friend assures me that the dogs had been asleep up until I had arrived as she had taken them for a 3 hour walk that morning and exhausted them out. This neighbour has been complaining about the noise from “all the dogs” for months now, going on about how they are all so noisy when there is only one of them that barks. And it has been getting more and more on my nerves how she complains constantly, and exaggerates everything. She is two faced anyway, she can act all nice one moment like your best friend, then go and
slag you off behind your back to another neighbour. One story, I had to leave my dog at my friends when we went shopping once, She phoned up within half a hour saying that my dog was howling constantly and getting “very upset, she is hyperventilating, and panicking, she can’t seem to get her breath at all she that upset and the neighbours from over the back have been screaming at her to shut up” so we just said, ok we’ll be there in a bit, when in fact we were right round the corner literally 1 minutes drive away from her house, we could hear the house from where we were stuck in traffic and couldn’t hear a single thing, got back and the dog was asleep inside the garden fence, no hyperventilating, no shortness of breath etc, so obviously this was completely fake, I went round to the neighbours who she said was complaining and they said they hadn’t heard anything. Well anyway, after other similar situations from this one, I was getting p-d off. And last night, when she phoned to
complain about the dog barking because we were there i had had enough and took my friends mobile off her and hung it up, when she tried calling it again, I diverted the call. Within around 2 minutes she was around hammering on the door, not in a friendly way either, having a go at my friend for hanging up on her, so I stepped out the door, shutting my friend in and started having a go back telling her that she needs to get her facts straight as it was my and not my friend etc etc, that she needs to grow up and get over it as I had only been there for 15 minutes, not a hour, and that the barking wasn’t even constant and that there was only one dogs barking not them all as she tried to say on the phone, she then starts screaming at me asking what gave me the right to hang up when it wasn’t my phone, so I screamed even louder, saying that when my friend doest want to talk to her, and hands me the phone I have the right to do what ever the hell I want.
At which she turned to my friend starts hurling abuse at her, which I promptly stopped her from doing as it was me she was fighting with not her, and she ended up storming away, and sending her husband round, by this point how ever, I was fully wound up, and he got as much screaming and fighting from me as she had. After 6months of two faced comments I was not backing down from this. Ok, that was a long story, but my question is, did I do right? would you have stood up for your friend (who was agreeing with everything you said) just that she was too shy to stand up for herself? Or would you have left it? The guy ended up leaving an saying he was going to see my friends landlord, but we know nothing will come of this as my friends neighbours are under the same landlord and they have no complaints its just this neighbour but one. They have all said that they will tell the landlord so as well. Its just well yea, would you have done the same thing? Or left it?
