Totally ignore it, all satisfaction is gone if neighbour is not sure she has seen it.

He can do what he likes in his back garden. I was told that once by the Gardai when a neighbour was waving a sword while threatening my family and I.

Should be rounded up and shot. You have to make an effort regardless else such could get very sticky. though it seems some make an effort the other way.. heard the horror stories n am just grateful.

Tell her to get her own sign, point it at his house and write Prick on it.

The sign does nothing for the common good . embarrassing to have a neighbour like that.

No point in doing anything petty like that in retaliation.

Just get straight to the point and burn his house down

Thanks guys, it seems she will just have to ignore it, sinking to his level is just not worth it whats more annoying for her is her kids can see it and want to know why its there.

What's the background?

Presume he didn't just decide to carve a sign one day for no reason.

Does your friend look into the neighbours windows too? Perhaps the neighbous just wants some privacy? Nobody likes peeping toms after all.

We lived in a lovely place, then the neighbour from hell came next door...
It really was terrible... I'd be mowing the lawn and she'd be running up and down her garden shouting and swearing over at me... Pouring weedkiller into my garden, the works... A real nut-job
She and her husband had a row with a contractor and they pulled a knife on him in the house :eek:

Enough...
We got out and never regretted it...

She has phycsiatric issues but no one can live next to someone like that, except the people we rent to

She just has to tell them she doesn't know and to go ****ing play outside, they're in her way.
