The family who live over the back from me have a dog and it barks constantly. It's barking now and its set my dog off which in turn has set off every other dog on the bloody street. I know all dogs bark but this one literally barks all day, every day and its driving me mad. They go out, I'm assuming to work, and leave the dog in the garden on its own. I can't see it through the fence.
Normally I'd just tell her quietly "do you know that your dog is barking all. the time?" But this family, the woman in particular, have a habit of complaining to their neighbours about everything including barking dogs. A few years ago she made the life of a lovely, mentally ill man a living hell. He had a few dogs, and yes they barked a bit but not as much as hers is doing now. She continually harassed him about the noise, making threats about reporting him etc until in the end he had to give his dogs away which broke his heart. He's since passed away sadly. I also know for a fact that she humbugged another woman who lives a few doors down from me because her Yorkshire terrier very occasionally barks when she lets it into the garden for a wee.
Other complaints include her whinging about other people's children playing on a trampoline in a garden and moaning about my next door neighbours conifer trees and trying to force them to cut them down. Not because they were blocking the light from her home but because birds were nesting in it and they were waking her up early in the morning.
So as you can see she's all to eager to complain when other people's noise impacts on her life, but obviously doesn't give a shit when she's does the same to other people. I suppose I want to report her to get one over on her, especially for the way she hounded the mentally ill man. But I'm wondering if its a little bit childish at the same time? She's such a stuck up cow as well. She looks like someone is holding a piece of dog shit under nose most of the time.
