Wow! That is absolutely stupid.

He needs one of those 'smokeless bongs' from Harold and Kumar.

i would just let the board now if you cant smoke outside youll have to move it inside. im sure they would love to try and rent a place after that.

I have a similar issue with my new neighbor. They moved into the house next to ours last summer. I've heard them make some smart a** comments when I'm outside enjoying a good cigar. The thing is, he smokes cigarettes and I've never made any comments because I figure he can do whatever he wants on his property, but then he starts putting down the smell of cigars....Just makes me want to and blow it his way even more....

Any particular reason you choose to slam people who are gay?

Just so you know, that $hit don't fly here.

It's situations like that that make me glad that my nearest neighbor is across the road about 75 yards from my house. Even that's a little close for my tastes. Before I moved to my current house my nearest neighbor was about 2 miles away.

I dont think he was putting down gay people....The word gay is just another word for stupid....I think it came from the surfers

(slight threadjack follows)

The last place we rented the landlord screamed at us because:

(drumroll please)

we allowed the _neighbor's_ dog to poop on our/his yard.

I suppose we were expected to set up a twenty four/seven neighborhood dog poop watch or something.

(and anyway, we _liked_ the neighbor's dog a lot more than we liked the landlord).

Yeah Kommifornia is always trying to pass stupid laws....I keep asking my fiancee How are we supposed to raise kids out here anymore?

Ah, one of the benefits of living out in the middle of no-where with no neighbors- No complaints about what the heck I do on my own property. Heck, it is bad enough that I have to deal with the Mrs. about the cigar smoke, I can't imagine not even being able to smoke outside my own place.

With the regulation that is going on now of days- no smoking in bars, public areas, etc., it would kill me not to even be able to sit on my porch and smoke a cigar.

I wish all of you guys with bad neighbors the best of luck- Hopefully you can "smoke em out" of the area

I live in an apartment and have the same problem. My neighbor doesn't slam a glass door, but she insists on coming halfway down the stairs and glaring at me as I sit on my patio and smoke. Every time I just say something to the effect of "Can I help you?" and every time she stomps up the steps cussing at me in Spanish. If she was nice about it, or at least talked to me, then I'd consider smoking at different times or figure something out. Staring at me and not saying anything is not going to make me change. Until something is said, I'll enjoy my smokes as I have been in (relative) peace and quiet.

the problem is you cant make everyone happy. once they learn that maybe things would be nicer. Its really a pretty place to live. If I could afford it I would still be living out there.

Yeah maybe I should have a mini herf.....Say 8 hours out on the patio sending huge clouds of smoke up to them....

Boy are they going to hate it when I light the fire pit!

Im the same way. I get along pretty well with my neighbors and they tell me if im bothering them and I do the same. on night like last night all the windows were open so i went to the side of my townhouse so i didnt keep them up with the smoke. I think if my neighbors were mean to me about it I would not even care though.
