ULPT How to stop someone spraying our house with rocks
Posted by Oh_mightaswell@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 25 comments
We live right next to the road and a neighbor has decided that he doesn’t like us and has been driving over the line in the verge to spray our house and car with rocks. He’s also the school bus driver and has started to do this in the bus. We live in a tiny community so I’d rather not start a war by getting him fired but he won’t stop and has started shouting at us if we’re outside. Ways to get him to stop driving over the white line?

Put nails in the rocks. It’s gonna suck when they hit your car the first time few times but I’m sure after his third tire change he’ll stop

Not nails, screws
nasaglobehead69@reddit
indeed. screws bite into the tire, and the hole left behind is difficult to patch

Wasn't that the carpet tacks usually recommended? In addition to a piss disc of course.

Sprinkle some carpet tacks into the piss disc before it goes into the freezer

You can buy them on Amazon as "bird spikes."

My first thought. They are even seeing use in Ukraine.

This guy isn’t well and is a danger to the kids and community. I’d have a quiet word to the police and see what they suggest. Someone who has this sort of anger problem is a danger to himself and others.
What about a video camera at an angle where you can see what he’s doing? The other option would be a fence that stops the stones before they hit the house, but that’s just a bandaid.

Put rocks on the side of the road, rather big heavy rocks...

Or empty brown grocery bags for a week.
brianozm@reddit
(look like rocks)

Puceeffoc@reddit
They're empty for a week.

Consider having someone you trust to film you lying down during the rock spraying as you lay there moaning about getting attacked then post it on social media and tag his boss and the school district. You can get a huge settlement from this and cover college tuition for your kids . Good luck buddy keep us updated on this.

He thinks you won't do anything so he keeps ramping it up because he can, because you're not doing anything!
He already started this war! I don't know why you think it hasn't escalated yet but you wouldn't be here if it didn't! Put cameras in front of your house and record everything he does. Maybe even put up a sign saying there are cameras! That might be enough to deter him if he realizes he can get in trouble with work.
But you really need to get to the bottom of this cuz there's got to be a reason why he's doing this. You need to figure it out. Is he sleeping with your wife or something? Lol Do your kids hate each other? There's a reason! Figure it out!

Police report time. Document, make sure the sheriff knows about it, and when you get him fired, make sure he knows the sheriff knows about it. Even that may not be enough, so motion-activated lights, cameras, and sprinklers plus other home defense measures would be in order. You're already at war. If he won't stop, you'll just have to neutralize him somehow.
TisABummer@reddit
Let him know he’s being mean and you don’t enjoy what he’s doing
JCBashBash@reddit
It sounds like he has already decided to go to war with you, he is getting distracted while driving all those children home, it's something you should be trying to record on video to send to his superiors because he is not keeping all those children safe
oopsifell@reddit
Piss disc frisbees when he drives by

Probably not the best advice to throw stuff at a bus full of kids.
UnjustlyBannd@reddit
Ah, back to the classics!

Record when he does it on the bus. Him being on the clock in company equipment makes damages the employers problem.
Dude is spraying your family with rocks which is assault and you don’t want to hurt his employment? Rethink that bub.
Apprehensive_Hat8986@reddit
Yup. War has already begun. OP just isn't defending themself or their family yet.
Annual_Government_80@reddit
Record every time he does it with the bus. He won’t have that job for much longer.
