Next step is to get a recording of a very large hound and when OP walks around to the back of the house, play the recording loud enough for Ms Nosey Pants to hear, all the while shouting, "Down boy. Sit! Good boy. Wanna go for a walk? No?! OK. ", then walk back around to the front of the house and hang up the collar (belt) and chain. And, give her a friendly wave, all the while grinning from ear to ear.
After so many false complaints it's surprising she wasn't charged with abusing emergency services and wasn't charged with harassment by her neighbors and sued in civil court by the the neighbors.
I wonder if Mildred could have had a restraining order filed against her preventing her from reporting neighbors due to harassment? Surely calling authorities multiple times for non existent 'offenses' constitutes harassment.
Yes the neighbours should call in for a welfare check on her for every complaint she makes, saying they are worried about her, as she is looking into corners and turning over stones, and they are wondering if she is in the early stages of dementia. A dozen calls, and a dozen visits, and she likely will scream, and thus land up in "observation" for a month at a time, and likely after 3 such trips she will be in a care home, carefully monitored, and not allowed out.
The neighborhood could have filed one as a whole. If granted, Mildred would have been forced to move. If she didn’t, she would have been found guilty of disobeying a court order and been arrested
With the Mildred situation I would go SUPER petty. I would print out a letter saying something to the tune of "We appreciate Mildreds tireless monitoring of all of our homes for the SLIGHTEST violation, so please do her the respect of keeping HER home to code, as well.", and I'd do it every single time she reported anyone for anything, on everyones door, including Mildred.
@@KingNoah231 That is what the police should do after enough nuisance 911 calls are placed. If she is in a community with some sort of an organized "association", after enough nuisance complaints there, then it would be time for private suits for harassment.
i think it be Mega payback to Mildred if at the same time he get the win fall, that she ends up have to pay more and get fines for things she did to her home.
"Hound of the Baskervilles" is a Sherlock Holmes mystery. And yes, there's some stuff in it about a murderous black hound (allegedly) that haunted the Baskerville family. So if Karen had even a modicum of literary education, she was frightened by the name alone!
I think Mildred doesn't need a hug as much as her _own_ place being re-assessed, after all, her complaints clearly are her projecting her _own_ issues onto others...
Story 2: They make "dog alarms" when triggered by noise, it sounds like a large dog barking. I would turn it on and off remotely. When the cops show up, "What? but officer, I don't have a dog. I have an imaginary dog, but a REAL three headed dog would eat too much dog food." I also remember a Mad Magazine cartoon. It shows a painted sign in the front yard. Says, "Beware of the d....." the paint runs off down the sign and a paint can and brush with a hat and some red paint on the ground. Yea, IAAH😁
Ha ha. Yeah. My wife's uncle had one of those so that if anyone knocked or pushed anything through the letter box it set off the barking. He told the postie to ignore it. Someone else reported it though that they were leaving a dog in the house for hours at a time. RSPCA turned up. What dog?
Story 1: everyone asking why she was shaving at work. My understanding is that firefighters will be on for a few days, living at the station (maybe not all but at least in some cases). They don’t go home for a few days, they eat and sleep there so yeah, they also shower there.
@@miss_mish Spoken like someone who never got harassed at work for it! I quit shaving my legs years ago-I live in pants and my leg hair being both fast-growing and coarse meant either shave every day or wait a week, otherwise I’d lose a ton of blood from the countless nicks due to all the ingrown hairs, and I finally decided I’d had enough of that 20 years ago. Anyway, my first two summers working as a lifeguard I had these obnoxious chauvinist-pig coworkers who harassed me nonstop about it! This ran the gamut from shaving supply ads taped to my locker to insults and disgusting nicknames for me because of my legs. This was in 1990 and 1991 while I was in high school and I’d lived a sheltered life-WTF did I know about taking legal action or filing formal complaints? My only recourse was to bite my tongue until the summer ended, then I took a lifeguard job elsewhere the following summer, including being a pool manager that summer and the next. My last summer as a lifeguard, I’d circled back to the pool where I’d started, and the pigs were gone-I had a MUCH more enjoyable time!
@@dragondancer1814 I've been harassed but if she had been harassed she could have provided even one example other than getting into trouble for having a ridiculously long shower. She should have gotten into trouble for wasting so much water. If you want to waste that much water do it at home. Of you can't last a couple of days without shaving then take advantage of this wonderful invention called waxing. That way you aren't imposing your wants onto others. Just because you had a few experiences throughout your life means very little regarding this person. Again if the only thing she has to complain about is getting into trouble for taking 10min showers so she can shave then she seriously needs to re-evaluate her own actions. If she can provide other examples it would be different but she didn't so we can only go by information presented. Based on the information presented she is the one harassing him, after all she is the one who ensured he had cold showers for 2 years. She stated he went mad at her for having a 10min shower to shave. SHE IS WAY WORSE THAN HE IS.
@@dragondancer1814 She is a firefighter, no one can harass her for hairy legs since she wears the uniform... So still it is not necessary to waste time and water to shave, she can just wait a few days and do it at home, and then waste more water on a petty revenge cause she got scolded about it... For me in the first story OP is straight up the childish asshole. But I am sorry for your bad experience, some people are just idiots, thankfully things are getting better now in that regard
The office needs to send her a letter stating that Mildred's behavior can eventually catch up, that one of the neighbors COULD flip out. Possibly do it violently towards her or her property.
Oh Ms. Mildred the most horrible thing happened while you were gone. Some maniac deliberately crashed a stolen garbage truck into your house, dumped the trash in your living room, stepped out, put on a pair of sunglasses and casually walked away smoking a cigar. I can't think of any reason why someone would -hire- I mean do this. Well, looks like you'll have to stay with family somewhere for a while. But first, you should probably do what you do best and call the cops to tell them there's a garbage truck in your dining room.
Story 2: If your idea of dealing with boredom is to just be everyone's problem, I'd think that you get a kick out of p***ing people off. Why not just read a book or decorate your house? Or visit the park? Or just do anything that doesn't anger people?
There's a German word, Schadenfreude. One of the ones that doesn't translate perfectly into English, but it means taking pleasure in other people's misery. Fine if they have it coming, not fine if you're causing that misery deliberately.
And here I thought lawyers were supposed to be reasonably intelligent and well educated. He should have known he wasn't helping his son by bailing him out of trouble constantly.
Story Three: I know it could backfire, but I really feel like the there should be some kind of "Boy Who Cried Wolf" clause in the law that allows police and other government organizations to ignore calls from people that have multiple reports and a 0.0 batting average, unless ignoring the call could potentially get someone killed.
I had a friend who had birds. She taught 2 of them to bark like big dogs. Together they sounded like multiple big dogs. They never got broken into again. LOL
LOVE it! BASKERVILLE!! He did the whole neighborhood a great favor. Karen was so focused on OP that the neighbors got a reprieve from Karen's attention. Lol! Love it!
For the Mildred story, I'd plant catnip all over her property at night, plus toss tons of bird seed everywhere. Then I'd pour old fruit juice all around the ground near her doors so it attracts ants/hornets. If Mildred really got me mad I'd buy rats & rat food from a pet shop an hour away, and let them free into her back yard plus spread the rat food all over her back yard. I could also buy some fast growing grass seed and toss that all over her yard so she would have to mow a lot more often.
I can't believe that people are this cruel. Seriously!! Do they really have nothing exciting enough going on in their lives that they have to ruin other people's lives!?!?
My cousin was the Mildred. She was always calling the cops and they hated her. Then she tried to get another cousin in trouble in another county, when l was called, l told the officer to call the police in our county before going too far with her aligations.
Hey, the story about Mildred... I have very few friends and only one son, but I have never reported a neighbor or spread a rumor. I live alone, unless you count my dog and my cactus. It's not that they are bored or lonely, they are just creating drama to get attention. I don't want attention, so I keep to myself. When I call a friend or my son, I mostly want to know if they had a good day/life and if they are having a bad time, I want to be there for them to vent to. I don't tell anyone about their problems, not even my therapist. It isn't my place to tell anyone, it is their business. I also keep their good times mostly to myself, except to tell one friend I know won't tell anyone else. If they call me, I also keep their privacy. Not my business to tell. Not even my therapist. Not even that one friend I do confide in.
The only thing that could have improved the Baskerville story would have been if OP had bought the biggest dog bone or toy he could find and put it out front somewhere the neighbor could see it. Still, perfect!
First story: I have to question the veracity of this one. What fire station in all the world gives you time to take a long, hot shower EVERY MORNING? Who really shaves their legs at the station? Personally, I dread taking a shower at the station for the simple reason that a call will probably come down. It's unavoidable after a nasty call, yardwork, or any workout... but taking your regular shower at the station instead of at home is just asking for the Fire God to smite you. (If stations outside the US actually do operate like that, I'm still shocked. Emergencies don't give a damn about borders.)
I know, right? I work in healthcare instead, but you know that if you're the only one there, the moment you go just to the bathroom out of necessity, a call will come in
#2 that reminds me of a Ham Radio meme. The higher you mount an antenna, the better. You get more range out of your signal, and you cause less potential interference to local TVs and Radios (cause your signal is above them). TVs and Radios (well pretty much any receiver) are supposed to be designed to ignore signals that are not in their intended band. But as manufacturers keep making them cheaper and cheaper that gets kinda lost. So Ham Radio occasionally comes out on TVs, which the Ham usually repairs with an RF choke on their TV power line. But neighbors get annoyed when you put up a big tower, despite the fact that the higher it is, the LESS likely interference is. So what you do is, put up the biggest tower you can. Put a high quality antenna on it. But then, heres the hard part: dont hook it up for at least a month. Wait for all the complaints of interference to pour in from your neighbors. Point out that you havent even connected the antenna, show them the wire dangling down from the antenna not connected to anything. Then after a month, hook up your radios.
Awesome, I have to share that one. But wait, don't you need a license for a taller tower? I grew up hearing about "oncemetristas" a.k.a. people allowed to have 11Mt towers (36 feet) and they keep correcting me that they're not "oncemetristas" anymore, just "radioaficionados" (ham radio operators).
@@riel4553 You probably need some kind of building permit, but IIRC the actual max in US is like 1500'. Which would certainly cost more than most houses, and of course the guy wires would cover 4 acres. Cities tried to restrict antennas, but the FCC said, "nope thats our swim lane", altho if youre near an airport the FAA sticks an oar in too. I think most cities do have a "cant be taller than would reach the property line if it fell over" requirement. Never seen one over 100'. I live in the country now and could easily support 100'. But as I approach SS age, I would be reluctant to climb one that tall anyway. I might get a "Hazer" which is a moving bracket that you mount your antennas on and can be hauled up and down from ground level.
@@natehill8069 I'm not in the US, the license that my father & HAM radio friends mention is the one issued by our version of the FCC, so they only say they don't have permission to broadcast with a 36ft tower anymore. I haven't checked our building regulations. Sorry, my experience with radio only extends to translating manuals, helping with the postcards and trying to find accesories since my father also lives in the country. A 'Hazer'? We might have to get something like that, since my father's not getting any younger!
I wouldn't use a ring camera... but a survailance system in general would be a good idea. I just prefer the idea of the data staying locally instead of going elsewhere for privacy
Yay Dark Fluff &Stevo, love you guys! You always bring perspective to my life because thankfully I have never had to deal with anyone like in your stories. Have a great day guys and everybody watching 😊
2nd story: someone constantly pacing up and down anywhere NEAR my front property, even in the street, I'd have called the cops and made strong mention of "mentally unstable", "talking to herself", "doing weird things"...because that woman needs therapy of some kind.
Neighbourhood Karen Story: If I were OP, I wouldn't have wasted my time or money on the signs, chain or belt... Instead, I'd have just taken all her notes (with photo's of where she left them) as well as video of her stalking back around the neighbourhood homes as well as statements from the Neighbours about all the Police and Animal Control calls and Sued her for Harassment and Stalking, then gotten a Restraining Order against her (No Contact, Stay Off my Property and Stay A Minimum Of 100 Yards Away From Me At All Times)...that last should force her to either rent out her home or sell it and move because if I'm home, she can't be in her home without being less than 100 Yards (300 feet) away from me which Violates the RO and getting Arrested... If I can manage it, I'd ask the Judge reviewing the RO Application to apply it to ALL the Neighbours she's Harassed to protect EVERYONE from her and that WILL force her to move since she can't be on the street at all without getting closer than 100 Yards from at least one protected party and going to Jail for Violating the RO...
Story 5: If you wind up not being qualified for a promotion, being deliberately incompetent isn't going to help. You instead need to actually put in more effort. And it's really childish to constantly run to your daddy lawyer to bail you out of s**t
Baskerville, the name makes me think of an almost-forgotten Muppet character, named Baskerville Hound. He was paired up with Rowlf, in Purina Dog Chow commercials.
Just love the wasted water in the first story. Turn the tap and down the drain it goes. Well done , Op, that's the best revenge, you know, the one where you don't care about your own actions .
Story 2: OP sounded like the Southerner colonel in one of those Looney Tunes starring Airedale. “Oh, Belvedere, come here boy!” Stories 2 and 3: seriously, if you have plenty of time in the world p***ing your neighbors off, expect your neighbor to be the same, too!
Story 2: I used to play with sound FX online from horror movies, there is one that was used for a werewolf snarling and growling, by the sounds of it, you would think this was Clifford the big red dog on rabbis. put the speaker on a RC car/drone if you had bushes and run it back and forth near the woman. Story 3: has Mildred been reported for anything? I think thats a new flower garden growing in her yard, doesnt matter if their new dandelions that came from nowhere ;)
Story 2 - Karen's Nightmare; The Hounding Of the Baskerville. (And if this story results in many dogs being dubbed Baskerville, I wouldn't be at all surprised!)
So for the second story, I would have put a stake in the ground with the chain on it, then the collar on the end but busted up like something tore out of it, then come outside when the karen is there yelling for the imaginary dog LOL
Story 2: I love OP and their invisible Baskerville hound. That was _brilliant._ Story 3: There must be something wrong with that department if they didn't punish Mildred for filing false reports.
Should have put large amounts of chocolate pudding on his lawn ….. then when she complained .. walk over pick up the lump with his hand and eat some ……. Be sure to film it. ….lol
Nah, just get enough large sized rubber fake dog pooh piles, once you got'em, don't have to put out more money. Pudding, ya gotta keep making it ..... and I would be about picking up pudding on my grass and putting any in MY mouth. Nope, rubber phony pooh would be the way to go. Maybe add a few shoes showing evidence of being gnawed on.

@@dragondancer1814 Again, not eating toostie rolls that has been on the grass, even if it is within the 3 second rule. 😄 Maybe he doesn't have a dog that has been peeing on his grass, but that is no guarantee that a dog or cat on the loose hasn't.
For added believability, go out with a bag and pick up Baskerville's "leavings" (tossing a few rocks in for realism), finishing up just as she wanders over. 😆
Story 4: It's OK for a scummy business owner to be kicked out of his business, but I only wonder what happened to his employees? They might not be so happy living on unemployment benefits.
@@ostlandr Would be a great name for a Masty! I used to work with a vet who owned one and he was the sweetest dog you ever could meet! Oh the clue with the name was that the hound was fake in the story.
Story 2 & 3: First that neighbor has too much free time on her hands. Combine that with a nasty personality and you get gestapo lady, spying on and reporting everyone over trivia. The solution is for as many of her neighbors as possible to get together to file harassment charges against her, and then they need to sue her for it. With a whole bunch of neighbors sueing her for harassment, she will probably be found guilty, and then she will have to pay damages, court and lawyer fees. That's likely to cost her tons of money. Whether they all sue her or not, once harassment charges have been brought, it might be possible to get a restraining order against her. That way she will have to stay away and not communicate with her victims.
2ed story I want to ask "OP are you a Sherlock Holmes fan because I liked the story "The Hound of the Baskervilles" plus that would scare the stupid neighbor
After a couple months of calling for "Baskerville", I'd start playing the song, "Who Let the Dogs Out," as loud as possible for her. 😂 But then again, I actually have a large, loud dog. 🤣
Baskerville... I understood that reference, Kinda surprised Mildred didn't show up at the party claiming she had every right to be there since she was the cause of the windfall...
Story 2: Just love how you read "My girlfriend has been rolling her eyes at me through all of this, but she has put up with weirder things from me." Story 3: How "Thanks for the money Mildred" was read, I chuckled.
The fact that "Baskervilles" didn't tip her off this was a joke? XD Priceless. If anyone doesn't know, Baskervilles comes from the Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of Baskervilles.
In story two I would sue her for harassment because that’s all it is now. And I will try to do my best to make my neighbors do the exact same thing, so it really hits her hard in the wallet.
Did anyone notice the old Karen never once called the cops on issues on the fake dog? No calls about the fake dog barking or running around loose or pooping on her lawn? Maybe her calls to the cops were legit and there are just a bunch of terrible neighbors on the street.
Somebody should have a meeting with this Mildred lady and tell her that her sctions could be construed as harrassment. Which could land her in legal trouble of some sort, like a civil suit
For Story 4 OP shouldn’t have put in my two weeks notice before notifying the labor board. Even I could tell this guy would fire OP as soon as he got word about who reported him. OP then could’ve filed a wrongful termination hit against employer and made him pay more money
The first OP should have played recordings of barking dogs. Then when a police officer comes over they could have invited them in to see that there was no dog and file a complaint of their own.
Sounds like some one needs to add flowers to her garden and a pond then call the town of her for updating her lawn and the pond could pose as a danger blah, put in ine of theose Walmart pool take pics and sent them to the town on good old Mildred or hit her with harassment and trespassing and bullying. What she is doing is excessive. The town could also tell her no qnd possi ly threaten her with legal issues if she keeps up her nonsense. Her neigh or have a right to live in peace nit be harassed about painting their home or putting shed up that doesn't need q permit.
Title story, isn't making false reports illegal? She should have been in jail or at least fined out her ass a long time ago if she was doing them that often.
"Baskerville!!!" 😂😂😂😂
Take a giant number two on her lawn and say Baskerville got out again
😂😂😂😂
I was thinking the same thing. And I would have totally gone for the dog barking, maybe even howling. 😅
I may name a cat that

For the Mildred story, I'd plant catnip all over her property at night, plus toss tons of bird seed everywhere. Then I'd pour old fruit juice all around the ground near her doors so it attracts ants/hornets.
If Mildred really got me mad I'd buy rats & rat food from a pet shop an hour away, and let them free into her back yard plus spread the rat food all over her back yard. I could also buy some fast growing grass seed and toss that all over her yard so she would have to mow a lot more often.
It's too bad the neighbors didn't find something to report Mildred for in return.
I can't believe that people are this cruel. Seriously!! Do they really have nothing exciting enough going on in their lives that they have to ruin other people's lives!?!?
My cousin was the Mildred. She was always calling the cops and they hated her. Then she tried to get another cousin in trouble in another county, when l was called, l told the officer to call the police in our county before going too far with her aligations.
The extent of my neighborhood pettiness is to walk around my neighborhood at night and report burned out streetlights
That's not petty, that's looking out for the well beeing of your neighbourhood.
I wonder if the police and other city services can have a restraining order against a Karen.
Hey, the story about Mildred... I have very few friends and only one son, but I have never reported a neighbor or spread a rumor. I live alone, unless you count my dog and my cactus. It's not that they are bored or lonely, they are just creating drama to get attention. I don't want attention, so I keep to myself. When I call a friend or my son, I mostly want to know if they had a good day/life and if they are having a bad time, I want to be there for them to vent to. I don't tell anyone about their problems, not even my therapist. It isn't my place to tell anyone, it is their business. I also keep their good times mostly to myself, except to tell one friend I know won't tell anyone else. If they call me, I also keep their privacy. Not my business to tell. Not even my therapist. Not even that one friend I do confide in.
Me, too. I am just like that. I don't understand why other people want the world to know everything that goes through their heads. 🤷🙄
The only thing that could have improved the Baskerville story would have been if OP had bought the biggest dog bone or toy he could find and put it out front somewhere the neighbor could see it. Still, perfect!
First story: I have to question the veracity of this one. What fire station in all the world gives you time to take a long, hot shower EVERY MORNING? Who really shaves their legs at the station? Personally, I dread taking a shower at the station for the simple reason that a call will probably come down. It's unavoidable after a nasty call, yardwork, or any workout... but taking your regular shower at the station instead of at home is just asking for the Fire God to smite you.
(If stations outside the US actually do operate like that, I'm still shocked. Emergencies don't give a damn about borders.)
Absolutely! Shave your legs at home!!
I don't get that either.
I know, right? I work in healthcare instead, but you know that if you're the only one there, the moment you go just to the bathroom out of necessity, a call will come in
And 10min showers too.
I also wondered by she can’t shower and shave her legs at home?
How did Mildred never get Sued for Harassment?
#2 that reminds me of a Ham Radio meme. The higher you mount an antenna, the better. You get more range out of your signal, and you cause less potential interference to local TVs and Radios (cause your signal is above them). TVs and Radios (well pretty much any receiver) are supposed to be designed to ignore signals that are not in their intended band. But as manufacturers keep making them cheaper and cheaper that gets kinda lost. So Ham Radio occasionally comes out on TVs, which the Ham usually repairs with an RF choke on their TV power line. But neighbors get annoyed when you put up a big tower, despite the fact that the higher it is, the LESS likely interference is. So what you do is, put up the biggest tower you can. Put a high quality antenna on it. But then, heres the hard part: dont hook it up for at least a month. Wait for all the complaints of interference to pour in from your neighbors. Point out that you havent even connected the antenna, show them the wire dangling down from the antenna not connected to anything. Then after a month, hook up your radios.
Awesome, I have to share that one.
But wait, don't you need a license for a taller tower? I grew up hearing about "oncemetristas" a.k.a. people allowed to have 11Mt towers (36 feet) and they keep correcting me that they're not "oncemetristas" anymore, just "radioaficionados" (ham radio operators).
@@riel4553 You probably need some kind of building permit, but IIRC the actual max in US is like 1500'. Which would certainly cost more than most houses, and of course the guy wires would cover 4 acres. Cities tried to restrict antennas, but the FCC said, "nope thats our swim lane", altho if youre near an airport the FAA sticks an oar in too.
I think most cities do have a "cant be taller than would reach the property line if it fell over" requirement. Never seen one over 100'. I live in the country now and could easily support 100'. But as I approach SS age, I would be reluctant to climb one that tall anyway. I might get a "Hazer" which is a moving bracket that you mount your antennas on and can be hauled up and down from ground level.
@@natehill8069 I'm not in the US, the license that my father & HAM radio friends mention is the one issued by our version of the FCC, so they only say they don't have permission to broadcast with a 36ft tower anymore. I haven't checked our building regulations.
Sorry, my experience with radio only extends to translating manuals, helping with the postcards and trying to find accesories since my father also lives in the country.
A 'Hazer'? We might have to get something like that, since my father's not getting any younger!
All Mildrid's neighbors should have gotten her in trouble for harassment.
For some reason I expected the Baskerville one to make it look like the Karen kidnapped the dog & make the neighbors pissed she'd go that far
Story 2: a ring porchcam might actually get her in trouble for stalking.
I wouldn't use a ring camera... but a survailance system in general would be a good idea. I just prefer the idea of the data staying locally instead of going elsewhere for privacy
@@wolphin732 I haven't used a ring camera before, so that is great info... I just used ring cause it seemed to be used as a name brand like Kleenex.
@@Maninawig Ring cameras will turn footage over to the police without a warrant.
wonder how the crazy lady would react if OP got a big dog and really get the show going, tell the neighbors to get the popcorn ready
Yay Dark Fluff &Stevo, love you guys! You always bring perspective to my life because thankfully I have never had to deal with anyone like in your stories. Have a great day guys and everybody watching 😊
2nd story: someone constantly pacing up and down anywhere NEAR my front property, even in the street, I'd have called the cops and made strong mention of "mentally unstable", "talking to herself", "doing weird things"...because that woman needs therapy of some kind.
Neighbourhood Karen Story: If I were OP, I wouldn't have wasted my time or money on the signs, chain or belt...
Instead, I'd have just taken all her notes (with photo's of where she left them) as well as video of her stalking back around the neighbourhood homes as well as statements from the Neighbours about all the Police and Animal Control calls and Sued her for Harassment and Stalking, then gotten a Restraining Order against her (No Contact, Stay Off my Property and Stay A Minimum Of 100 Yards Away From Me At All Times)...that last should force her to either rent out her home or sell it and move because if I'm home, she can't be in her home without being less than 100 Yards (300 feet) away from me which Violates the RO and getting Arrested...
If I can manage it, I'd ask the Judge reviewing the RO Application to apply it to ALL the Neighbours she's Harassed to protect EVERYONE from her and that WILL force her to move since she can't be on the street at all without getting closer than 100 Yards from at least one protected party and going to Jail for Violating the RO...
Story 5: If you wind up not being qualified for a promotion, being deliberately incompetent isn't going to help. You instead need to actually put in more effort.
And it's really childish to constantly run to your daddy lawyer to bail you out of s**t
I'm always watching these videos with a notepad, you'll never know when you'll need to write something down, that's very useful.
Baskerville, the name makes me think of an almost-forgotten Muppet character, named Baskerville Hound. He was paired up with Rowlf, in Purina Dog Chow commercials.
Just love the wasted water in the first story. Turn the tap and down the drain it goes.
Well done , Op, that's the best revenge, you know, the one where you don't care about your own actions .
Even better is that the filter was finally blamed, though if the others knew they might have randomly carried on with this as well.
Story 2: OP sounded like the Southerner colonel in one of those Looney Tunes starring Airedale. “Oh, Belvedere, come here boy!”
Stories 2 and 3: seriously, if you have plenty of time in the world p***ing your neighbors off, expect your neighbor to be the same, too!
Story 2: I used to play with sound FX online from horror movies, there is one that was used for a werewolf snarling and growling, by the sounds of it, you would think this was Clifford the big red dog on rabbis. put the speaker on a RC car/drone if you had bushes and run it back and forth near the woman.
Story 3: has Mildred been reported for anything? I think thats a new flower garden growing in her yard, doesnt matter if their new dandelions that came from nowhere ;)
Story 2 - Karen's Nightmare; The Hounding Of the Baskerville.
(And if this story results in many dogs being dubbed Baskerville, I wouldn't be at all surprised!)
Like "the Hounds of Baskerville"? Lmao
#2 - OP should have actually got a dog...like Chiuahua or a Pomeranian, and named it Baskerville. Oh, and put a mini studded collar on it. 😁
So for the second story, I would have put a stake in the ground with the chain on it, then the collar on the end but busted up like something tore out of it, then come outside when the karen is there yelling for the imaginary dog LOL
Story 2: I love OP and their invisible Baskerville hound. That was _brilliant._
Story 3: There must be something wrong with that department if they didn't punish Mildred for filing false reports.
A big imaginary dog named Baskerville? Someone's an OG Sherlock Holmes fan!
I will always love these videos. These videos will always make me happy. Thank you for making these so fun to listen to
Should have put large amounts of chocolate pudding on his lawn ….. then when she complained .. walk over pick up the lump with his hand and eat some ……. Be sure to film it. ….lol
Nah, just get enough large sized rubber fake dog pooh piles, once you got'em, don't have to put out more money. Pudding, ya gotta keep making it ..... and I would be about picking up pudding on my grass and putting any in MY mouth. Nope, rubber phony pooh would be the way to go. Maybe add a few shoes showing evidence of being gnawed on.
@@tinydancer7426 OOOHH. Ya. Gotta get her on camera as your eating the pudding …. It hoses off easy to clean ..you’ll have to get the hose out any way to clean up after she pukes on your side walk…. .. it’s best to be the. HOSER. LOL.
Or use the giant Tootsie Rolls like Jeff Foxworthy did! For details, see his autobiography “No Shirt, No Shoes, No Problem!”
@@dragondancer1814 Again, not eating toostie rolls that has been on the grass, even if it is within the 3 second rule. 😄 Maybe he doesn't have a dog that has been peeing on his grass, but that is no guarantee that a dog or cat on the loose hasn't.
In Germany calling the cops without cause is 75 bucks.
Implement this and you will see how sudden the phone calls will stop...
1st story...and while Karen is stalking OP's house, she's leaving the rest of the neighborhood alone for once! Lol!! 🤣🤣🤣
For added believability, go out with a bag and pick up Baskerville's "leavings" (tossing a few rocks in for realism), finishing up just as she wanders over. 😆
I'll have to keep the "my brain in low-power mode" descriptor in mind. I normally describe those moments as "mental neutral".
Story 4: It's OK for a scummy business owner to be kicked out of his business, but I only wonder what happened to his employees? They might not be so happy living on unemployment benefits.
tbh I love petty revenge and wish to enact it... I may like higher tiers of revenge to listen to but I don't think I have to
Fake dog, hilarious. But Karen is not the only one with too much time on their hands.🤣
Baskerville🙀‼️The old bat never saw the Sherlock Holmes (Basil Rathbone version)movie because that would have been the most important clue!🤣😂🤣
Nah. If my Lady Wife ever gave in and let me have a Neapoltian Mastiff, I would totally name it Baskerville.
@@ostlandr Would be a great name for a Masty! I used to work with a vet who owned one and he was the sweetest dog you ever could meet! Oh the clue with the name was that the hound was fake in the story.
Story 2: IF I was in Op's shoes I would build a BIG as doghouse outeside & play barking dogs as you said!
"Baskerville"? Oh, now THAT is funny!
Story 2 & 3: First that neighbor has too much free time on her hands. Combine that with a nasty personality and you get gestapo lady, spying on and reporting everyone over trivia. The solution is for as many of her neighbors as possible to get together to file harassment charges against her, and then they need to sue her for it. With a whole bunch of neighbors sueing her for harassment, she will probably be found guilty, and then she will have to pay damages, court and lawyer fees. That's likely to cost her tons of money. Whether they all sue her or not, once harassment charges have been brought, it might be possible to get a restraining order against her. That way she will have to stay away and not communicate with her victims.
Story 5. entitled adult sized toddler finally made daddy warbucks burn too many favours to get them out of the frying pan.
2ed story I want to ask "OP are you a Sherlock Holmes fan because I liked the story "The Hound of the Baskervilles" plus that would scare the stupid neighbor
I caught the reference too-not only is it hilarious, it’s also classic! Positively inspiring!
OP gets MASSIVE brownie points from me for naming the fake dog Baskerville!!
After a couple months of calling for "Baskerville", I'd start playing the song, "Who Let the Dogs Out," as loud as possible for her. 😂 But then again, I actually have a large, loud dog. 🤣
Bob should have made Mildred the guest of honor, and introduced her at the party!
Too bad.... You don't have a sign, a chain, and a collar big enough for a T-Rex. She might try to peek into your house. LOL 😂😂😂
Baskerville... I understood that reference,
Kinda surprised Mildred didn't show up at the party claiming she had every right to be there since she was the cause of the windfall...
Story 2: Just love how you read "My girlfriend has been rolling her eyes at me through all of this, but she has put up with weirder things from me."
Story 3: How "Thanks for the money Mildred" was read, I chuckled.
At the party I would watch for Mildred looking out. Everytime I would smile and wave.
The fact that "Baskervilles" didn't tip her off this was a joke? XD Priceless. If anyone doesn't know, Baskervilles comes from the Sherlock Holmes story, The Hound of Baskervilles.
First story, i really really hope this happened someplace without a water shortage. Also does OP really think that 10 minutes is a short shower?
That fire chief could burn in a building and still complain that it was cold.
Fake dog, lol, man, i have to remember today story's... For future use lol...
Story 2: I'm retired and I could not find the time to go about my neighborhood and complain. Geez. I'm so busy.
Should have bought three big collars, then call for FLUFFY!!!
LOL 😂😂😂
In story two I would sue her for harassment because that’s all it is now. And I will try to do my best to make my neighbors do the exact same thing, so it really hits her hard in the wallet.
I’m naming my next imaginary dog Baskerville. 😂
Story 1: Wasting that much water and energy for that revenge...i don't know....
You'd think a firefighter would think twice about wasting water and admitting it online, yet here we are.
Story 3. Sounds like the neighborhood should throw Mildred a blanket party. This definitely is a FAFO situation.
Did anyone notice the old Karen never once called the cops on issues on the fake dog? No calls about the fake dog barking or running around loose or pooping on her lawn? Maybe her calls to the cops were legit and there are just a bunch of terrible neighbors on the street.
"Oh Baskerville, c'm'ere boy!" 🤣
Somebody should have a meeting with this Mildred lady and tell her that her sctions could be construed as harrassment. Which could land her in legal trouble of some sort, like a civil suit
Story #2 I love the name Baskerville for the name of the dog! Awesome!
For Story 4 OP shouldn’t have put in my two weeks notice before notifying the labor board. Even I could tell this guy would fire OP as soon as he got word about who reported him. OP then could’ve filed a wrongful termination hit against employer and made him pay more money
I was thinking the op in the second story should get a Chihuahua 😆
Story 2- I would have had barking signs too!
Story 1 - your mates knew what you were doing and probably covered for you discreetly.
The first OP should have played recordings of barking dogs. Then when a police officer comes over they could have invited them in to see that there was no dog and file a complaint of their own.
Wow, fake dog. Now that's a fantastic story. I want to one day be half as smart as OP.
Sounds like some one needs to add flowers to her garden and a pond then call the town of her for updating her lawn and the pond could pose as a danger blah, put in ine of theose Walmart pool take pics and sent them to the town on good old Mildred or hit her with harassment and trespassing and bullying. What she is doing is excessive. The town could also tell her no qnd possi ly threaten her with legal issues if she keeps up her nonsense. Her neigh or have a right to live in peace nit be harassed about painting their home or putting shed up that doesn't need q permit.
Title story, isn't making false reports illegal? She should have been in jail or at least fined out her ass a long time ago if she was doing them that often.
Someone should re-evaluate MILDRED'S house!
Took me a moment to realize he said Baskerville. Should have see if he could borrow a Chihuahua to take on a walk on front her
Not likely barred from running a business. That's suspect
I will now add the term "curtain twitcher" to my vocabulary.
Saturday afternoon Fluff & Stevo!
