so i hate my neighbors

Neighbor A calls the east point police on me because my lawn is too high. The cop comes and writes me 3 tickets. Ticket 1 because my lawn is too high, ticket 2 because my dog made a mess in the back yard by getting in the garbage, ticket 3 because there is a broken satellite dish next to the side of my house. My house? excuse me. it's not my house. i rent this piece of shit for 850 a month. may i remind you we did not have a toilet for 3 weeks and i shit in a bucket. also, i have been in this house 4 months and just recently got hot water.

i do not own a lawnmower.
my lease does not state that i have to take care of my lawn.

"Any removal of landlord's property without express written permission from the landlord shall constitute abandonment and surrender of the premises and termination by the resident of this agreement. landlord may take immediate possession, exclude Tenent from property and store all tenants possessions at tenent's expense pending reimbursment in full for landlord's loss and damages." my lease paragraph 14.

so you see, i cannot remove the broken satellite dish from the ground by my house without express written permission from my landlord.

just because you think i'm stupid because i'm home all day with my dog and cat, does not negate the fact that i do in fact have a paralegal degree.

Friday morning i wake up to find that someone has anonymously called the cops on me because they think my dog is abandoned. did i mentioned that nino was asleep by the side ofthe bed when i got this notice?

Neighbor B knocks on my door with her husband. she says that my dog is barking too much and that she is going to call the cops. i apologize and say i will bring my dog in the house. her husband says thank you. she continues to run her mouth. she says he barked at 5 am on thursday and why was he outside ? nino was, again, asleep on my floor when this supposedly happened. she said thursday my car was not outside and therefore she called the police and told them that my house was abandoned and therefore my dog in my backyard was abandoned. i informed her that i do not have a drivers license, cannot get a drivers licnese because i am legally blind, blind in my right eye. i am home all day every day all night every night. my husband drives the car. i told her i would keep my dog in the house. she just wouldn't get out of my face.

now i don't call racism on everything, but i saw her face when both of us opened the door. i know that look. that look is in the eyes of every child that threw rocks at me and my bi racial brother and called us names i'm not going to repeat. my husband saw the look too so he shut the door and went in the house. i want to move to decatur and live with biracial lesbian couples who want to have lots of babies.
