Neighbor Calls 911 for pool noise

One of my neighbors called 911 on me for disturbing the peace with my pool table out on the screened porch this morning. The same neighbor use to cut his lawn at 7:30 in the morning and work in his little woodworking shed with the door open and saws buzzing like NASCAR. I use to work nights as a nurse and couldn't get to sleep for hours a lot of mornings.

So now that I'm retired I go out every morning at one minute after eight and break about ten 9-ball racks in a row as hard as I can. They sound like gunshots in the quiet neighborhood. He has a landscaper do his lawn now and likes to sleep late with his new young wife. Paybacks a b****.

Anyhow two cops come around back to talk to me about it. One cop says he knows me from Staxx Billiards where I use to play the owner John a lot. I said I remembered him too and that he played a very good game of pool,(I never saw him in my life before that I can remember). He looks at the other cop and says, "See, you don't want to mess with me on a pool table". I do believe his chest was inflated a little more too.

Anyhow they went over and told the neighbor that I was perfectly in my rights to use my table after 8:00 in the morning. I love it when a plan comes together. Johnnyt
 
Sorry to hear you actually had the cops called on you for that. I have my table in a Temo Sun Room that I added on to the back of the house and those sun rooms don't insulate noise as well as normal house walls do. My neighbor told me he was taking a nap one day until he heard me breaking 9 ball racks. He was cool about it though. You should have seen my wife the first time she heard me break in here. We have a home office set up on one end of the sun room and she was on the computer when I decide to shoot some nine ball. Well, when I broke the first rack she literally fell out of her chair and goes "holy crap what was that?". Laughed my a$$ off.
 
You guys and your 'sun room' pool tables. I guess the old excuss "the sun got in my eye" could now be legitimate, huh??!!

Have fun in the sun but don't get any of that sun screen on your shaft, it makes it all sticky and stuff.

JohnnyT,

Kudos for handling the situation, too bad your neighbor didn't have manners to ask you face to face.
 
Had the same thing happen the first time I shot on the back of my place

Johnny,

The first time I shot my rifles on the back of my place I had two car loads of cops show up. As they came across my back field I noticed the first car was a low-rider. Funny, I didn't know the sheriff's office had a low rider in their fleet, must be some kind of youth outreach thing.

The cars stopped and the driver got out of the first one. That side of the car came up almost a foot! Damn that man was big, and not just fat. More than six inches taller than my six-two and almost certainly over 400 pounds. The passenger got out and he was maybe fifty pounds lighter than the driver but still on the tall and wide side. They had sent the domestic violence and riot control unit.

As I ambled up the driver asked if I had heard any shooting. "Yep, been doing some myself."

"Your land go all the way back there?"

"Yep"

He thanked me and turned to leave without another question or comment so then I invited them back to view the proper firing range I had set up so they knew the scoop when they got the next call.

I knew which neighbor would call and I knew he didn't have a leg to stand on. Love it when that happens!

Suggestion

Johnny

If I were you I would screw this neighbor of yours twice, once with the pool table and twice by screwing his nice new young girlfriend:D

Good luck and have fun.

sounds like to me the cops coulda pursued the neighbor for mis-use of the 911 system which is pretty serious. o we well maybe he will call 911 again and get arrested ....then that would be a happy ending lol
 
Man i thank god for my nieghbors. We are all like family around here. We watch every cowboys game togethere over a bbq. We hang out on Halloween,New years, 4th of july and just about every other holiday that it isnt mandatory to spend with family (like chrismas and thanksgiving) When I first bought the house my neighbor across the street asked if id play for their pool team which I did, and it was great (we won the championship). We even golf together occasionly. I just recently got married and 3 of them were at my bacholer party. :) We've thought of moving before but we just cant leave the neighborhood.
Hope things work out between you and your neighbors. Johnny

Hey Johnny. Where are you? Want me to take care of this? I'll give him and offer he can't refuse.
 
For about 4-5 years I had my Gold Crown I in the living room of my old apartment. I had a common wall with my neighbors living room, another apartment above, and one below. I would not play past 10pm and not once in all those years did I ever get a complaint about noise.

Even on the day the table was brought in, I left a notice on my neighbors doors that some noisy work was going to be done and the hours in which is was going to happen.

No problems.

I was always and still am surprised about that.

LMAO. I broke the other neighbor's nose the first week we moved in. He is in his 30's and I have something on him that he doesn't want made public. I wouldn't hit the other nieghbor, as he is almost as old as me. Johnnyt

I would advise everyone to avoid warring with their neighbor. It just leads to tension and misery.
