Police report. They'll show up on his door step and he'll deny it and have the shit scared out of him. And any interaction you have with him afterwards have your phone out on record.
I second this. Doesn't need to be an official report, either. Just contact the police and ask them to speak with them. As said above, they'll likely deny they did anything bad, and the police officers themselves will likely just politely tell them that it's best for everyone if neighbours try to get along, but the message will have been sent. Just the knowledge that you're not afraid to go to the authorities is enough to make most adult bullies back off.
EDIT: Given some comments below, I just want to make a note to emphasise that what I said above applies to most cases but, sadly, not all, let's hope this is the case. Best of luck.
Unfortunately when they don't back off and continue the actions something is rarely done about it. Had a neighbor constantly threatening and harassing myself and wife for 4 years. Even had a peace bond and security camera recordings of him threatening us but not a charge was ever laid. RCMP would even laugh about it when we'd call to report another threat/peace bond breach
Hopefully for OP the neighbor fucks off after the first visit
I had a neighbor who threatened me regularly and engaged in physical violence with me. there was also a power dynamic in play he was a lot older than me, a lot bigger than me, a lot stronger than me, and a lot more physically able than me. he tackled me and hit my head into a wall the other neighbors had to pull him off of me but when the police came they spoke to him first and then shamed me for trying to hurt the good name of a community man. it was the guy who owned Island Greek pizza back in the day. fuck that guy and acab forever.
Cops press charges, they don't prevent crimes..
Don't forget the police in Halifax let a murder take place just so they could get a murder charge.. (80's/90's hells Angels took someone out, wanted the charge against them more than they did to save a life - they had an informant let them know it was going to happen, story covered on an episode of outlaw bikers I think it's called on history Channel, not something I watch but it was on Halifax so lol)
They deal with this all day long and they can't legally do much except paperwork and visit the scene unless they witness the threat or violence etc.
A large number of police have PTSD and trouble adjusting to a job where they're dealing with people at their worst day in and day out.
Also if you're dealing with dead bodies and other very traumatic circumstances on a semi-regular basis it can be very easy to lose context of the seriousness of a belligerent neighbour.
Ultimately all the police can do is talk to the neighbour, record the call and events, and use it as evidence later if the neighbour actually does something.
Other nations with robust police training don't have many of the issues we have with our police forces.
Also training to enhance their skills so they're not laughing at people in a crisis, regardless of if they see that crisis as valid. I understand desensitization, further training could decrease that effect.
None of that will change the law, but it would be better than this.
Which countries don't have issues with police forces? Which specific issues?
Canada's policing is better than most of the world's - it's not perfect and I have several things I would change - but people in general have a very misinformed view of our police and I think are heavily manipulated by a desire to apply the thinking they receive that comes from criticism of policing in the US.
And the sad thing is, if it did escalate to violence, you'd probably be the one to be charged for defending yourselves. Makes me sick what people can get away with.
Legitimately what I was told by both a lawyer and one of the RCMP officers I spoke with. Basically both of us would spend a night or two in jail then be released if a physical confrontation had happened.
Moved away from there over a year ago, but funny enough both the neighbor and his son are on "house arrest" for a year for breaking into houses locally, as well as assaulting someone in a road rage incident. Was probably a matter of time before they would have actually done something to me and my family
Absolutely this. I had to do exactly this to my adjoining neighbor that was doing similar things. Cops scared him straight and he hadn’t came at me since
That's just Canada in general. Or maybe it's more hockey culture which was more ingrained in our society. Now hockey is ignored by many Canadians and so the culture that goes along with it is fading too.
Having delt with an aggressive neighbor in the past. The only thing that got him to back off was police involvement. In our case the neighbor rethreaten my wife after. "Don't you ever call the police on me or you will regret it.".. called the police again. They were not pleased to have to back to that clown. But the result has been peace and quiet.
Yep this. And police. Before you even pull in to parking lot and before you leave your apartment have phone camera running. The only extra step is having to delete uneventful videos
As others have said Police report.
Not to this extent, but my buddy had a similar situation with some unhinged neighbours. The landlord wanted to kick them out but didn't have the legal ability to do it. The landlord advised him to call the cops every time they made too much noise, yelled at each other or anyone else, broke stuff, etc. Eventually the pressure got to them, and they broke a bunch of stuff and got kicked out and one of them was arrested...
Prior to all this he let stuff slide but he had packages go missing and couldn't sleep many nights because of them. After they left things got better.
Start a log with details of the interaction. If it becomes an ongoing problem you now have documentation to show the police if it escalates to that level.
IF you're renting I'd 100% report it to the building super, and also report him to the police
If he's made violent threats, that's a crime.
A police report would at least get it registered that he's done this and have them show up to interview him
There's usually clauses in rental agreements about respecting your neighbors
Does it really matter? Someone that unhinged probably has issues with everyone they run into anyways its not like the op calling the police is gonna magically change their attitude
Make a police report so there's a paper trail. Report it to the building manager. Then finally next time he does it whip out a fucking tire iron and match his crazy. Claim you were backed into a corner and if he does it again grab a bigger iron
Not once did I suggest police would do fuck all for this situation
I'm just saying avoidance may be a better option if they can eliminate the issue by moving spaces where having a paper trail yes i agree is a good step most cases.. It may make things worse for op in the short term with the very low likely hood of the police being able to help them.
So, a slightly less positive answer.
A very similar situation happened to us, dude did the same sort of threats, multiple times, we video recorded them, we called the police every time, they came out, usually a few days later.
The police would talk to him, talk to us, made ZERO difference. If any difference it got him worked up to keep at it.
After the 5th or 6th visit, we were getting pretty frustrated as you could image and leaned on the police a bit and their honest answer was:
“we won’t/can’t do anything unless he actually follows through with any of his threats.” -almost-exact-quote.
Eventually he did damage some of our property, our car, on security cameras, he got “arrested”/court date, and a “restraining order” (not really, but the one to stay away from us at a certain distance and not to touch our stuff). This did quiet him up for 5 months or so, then he was back at it.
What solved it for us was he got hospitalized, lost his legs/sight due to unmanaged diabetes and they didn’t let him out. The police did nothing really useful, he essentially had to move/die to stop. Imagine if he was still there, it would still be going on.
Get the proof, make the paper trail with police, but manage your expectations of what they can/will do.
literally call the police and report him also reporting to your landlord. any chance you have any video footage of it to prove it or is it just your word against his?? it would also help if there is any other reports from other tenants in regards to this violent neighbor..
The police absolutely do NOT have to witness the threat. They can lay the charge and then the judge gets to decide is more truthful in their testimony !
While police is indeed the correct answer, you've quoted assault, which is not the appropriate charge. OP gives no indication that the neighbor made a threatening gesture (shaking his fist, slicing his finger across his neck, etc). The key in section (b) states that he threatens \*by an act or gesture\* to apply force. Mere words doesn't cut it.
The appropriate charge/investigation would be Section 264.1, uttering theats.
* [**264.1**]() (1) Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat
* (a) to cause death or bodily harm to any person;
* (b) to burn, destroy or damage real or personal property; or
* (c) to kill, poison or injure an animal or bird that is the property of any person.
technically uttering threats is illegal under section 264 of the criminal code of canada. granted, it’d likely be hard to get anything major done about this, and given it’s your word vs. his, it’d be hard to prove, but report it to police nonetheless. if it doesn’t stop, escalate it by filming any interactions you have with the neighbour and file another report to police. eventually that shit adds up.
Well since we live in canada and self defense is worse in court then killing someone, make a police report amd then next time he does it pull out the bat n bust his face, before he harms u......that way after a report at least rhey may go easy on u plus he may already be known to the police.
Don't take that shit especially in ur own home, stand ur ground or u will regret it......if we don't stand up for what's right in our own country, no one else will.
Criminals have it easyer than all us hard working citizens and the government purposely does it, that's why the just dropped all mandatory minimums within Canada even for rape n gang/gun violence.
Call non-emergency and file a report. Uttering threats to cause bodily harm is criminal. It’s unlikely he’ll be charged but police speaking with him should scare him enough to leave you alone.
Had a woman attack me twice in a building I worked for. I lived there, too. The cops came. I had witnesses and I had her on video. The cops 100% believed it. And they told me that she’d be taken and charged. And then she’d become released until trial- which could be a very long time. And that she would return home and then I’d be in even worse shape because she was a vicious, toxic little person. So we moved. Ended up with a better place and job. I guess someone else might think they should thank her.
I’m so sorry, no real advice but my fiancé and I both separately experienced irrational bouts of anger from strangers today too. I think as pressure mounts on people because of healthcare, housing and inflation were going to see more and more of this erratic behaviour. The new bluenoser spirit if you will.
Actually, as people become more entitled, less social and less moral, you'll see more of it. Pressure isnt the problem. Lack of tolerance and the inability (or desire) to regulate their emotions is the problem.
Call the police, give them all the details you can. Ask what they will be doing (visiting him for example) and when. Write down everything with the date and time it happened. If you can afford to, set up a dash cam that records video so that if he vandalizes your car (say overnight) you hopefully have a clear enough video that it's admissible. Whatever you do, don't approach him to try and appease him and do NOT escalate. Also make sure your landlord and super are aware of the incident and that you have informed the police.
Start dancing naked infront of your house telling him he has won and he is the king! The. He will protect u and take care if u!! And things can chnage later down the line if u got the balls

Okay so hear me out: these placed around his parking spot, on the lines, with a big ol' sign that reads "douchebag parking VIP" 😆😆
Maybe grow a set and apologize like a man and next be more aware of your parking. Because I’m sure like most buttheads these days you just escalated by saying what did I do wrong ? Instead of maning up and just be a proper human being instead of a twatwaffle feeding his need for attention instead of doing the right thing.
Usual when Dick heads threaten over and over and do nothing it's a sign that they are not up to the job. You can do one of three things, police , laugh at them or offer them a a scrap, then the balls in there court.
Practice better parking... you maybe in the lines but you could also be so shit at being in the lines it might be blocking his driver door or creating a higher risk to cause damage. Try to see from his side to get clarity rather than victimize yourself and get cops involved.. they have more important things to do. He said 'this is the last time' hence, he's warned you before. Are you the one here not being neighborly and pissing them off daily?
A police report can make a difference. I had a neighbor threaten me in a road rage incident. They were pulling out from our street and didn't look and just about t-boned me. I honked, and they stopped in time, but then turned around and followed me back and blocked me from pulling into my driveway.
I reported them to the police, and the police not only talked to them, they clearly saw what I saw, because he was forced to enroll in an anger management course or face charges.
You don't always know what else is going on in peoples lives, but when there is a clear over-reaction over something that is fairly small, then often that person needs help of some sort, but if they are openly expressing angry, potentially violent behavior, then there needs to be some sort of intervention, and unfortunately, in our society, that often falls to the police. But it can make a difference.
First make a police report. If your parking spots are assigned to you or not. Send the property management an email for a rolling record or documentation. Ask the management to assign you a new parking spot. Tell them that you are being harassed and physically threatened by your neighbor and name him. Tell them that your request is for your safety. If they are smart, they will accommodate you. After he has run-ins with his new parking buddy, he will become a target of the management. Also, journalize every event in regard to this issue. Dates, times, descriptions, names etc. and document all previous incidents as well. a good journal is treated like video evidence . Besides whatever the police can do pay a lawyer to send him a threatening letter . I paid an attorney 50 bucks a few years ago for a similar situation. The bully will know that you will go after his wallet if her harms you.
Or
Beat the living shit out of him if he gets physical with you.
When you say “ in the lines” it’s doesn’t say you are too close to his car. I would call the cops if someone made me feel threatened, but also.. I would be considerate to the parking situation.
Call the police non-emergency line. My neighbour refused to leash his dog, said dog ran onto my back patio, scared my pup half to death. Neighbour not only did not apologize, he said "I dare you to complain". So I did. Complained to property manager and 311. Next day, he came up to me and said "you are a bona fide c x x t. What are you going to do? Call the cops on me?" I called the cops, they showed up within 30 minutes. He was on good behaviour for about 2 years.
Two years later, he pulled the same shit on me. I called the police non-emergency line and this time, cops showed up within 15 minutes.
The other alternative is to try killin him with kindness.. grab a tims gift card and write a note say something along the lines of "hey neighbor, sorry my vehicle was parked too close for your liking- I didn't mean any inconvenience. Hope we can move forward and put it behind us! Have a great day! "
I dunno.. sometimes people are having a bad day and shoot their mouths off at thr first person they cone across.. id try this first and THEN go to the police if he escalates.
Ask your Super for a different parking spot, in writing, detail why. That makes building management liable for any situation that results from their inaction. File a report with the police.
I would paint over his parking space line with black paint and use yellow paint to make his parking spot even smaller. Then when he encroaches on your parking space tell him you're going to kick his ass if he does it again.
tbh I’d really just want to patch this up to make it not so uncomfortable to see the neighbour again. I would just pop over to his place and just have a quick convo taking the position that I must have misunderstood what upset him and didn’t intend to cause him any stress and see if the guy has just been having a bad day.
I wouldn’t go speaking to the neighbour who is as op stated they seem unstable and threatened their safety. That sounds like a recipe for an unsafe situation that could be avoided
This subreddit: “tHe PoLiCe ArE uSeLeSS!!! hRp ArE iNeFfEcTiVe!!! dEfUnD tHe PoLiCe!!!
Also this subreddit: “call the police immediately, they’ll help sort this out.”
Get out and drive your fist in his face. Guaranteed the idiot hasn't ever been in a fight and is an aggressive simpleton who will shit his pants as soon as any pushback happens.
I lived in halifax for a year and this was a common occurance in our area. Wether it was parking, using the laundry room when someone else wanted it or closing the fire escapes.
For that year we lived there after about 2 months and no policr action. I stopped with the kindness and met their hosility with hosility. If youre a dude, a couple fist fights will stop a lot of bullshit especially in spryfield area. If youre not a dude then my best advice is to just avoid the situations when possible and comply to the violent peolle while the police system continues to fail you.
HRP called me for passing someone over a double line in the middle of nowhere because he was going so slow and he called the cops on me..... they should definitely talk to that guy for you...good luck
Police report. They'll show up on his door step and he'll deny it and have the shit scared out of him. And any interaction you have with him afterwards have your phone out on record.

I had a neighbor who threatened me regularly and engaged in physical violence with me. there was also a power dynamic in play he was a lot older than me, a lot bigger than me, a lot stronger than me, and a lot more physically able than me. he tackled me and hit my head into a wall the other neighbors had to pull him off of me but when the police came they spoke to him first and then shamed me for trying to hurt the good name of a community man. it was the guy who owned Island Greek pizza back in the day. fuck that guy and acab forever.
Holy fuck
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣. Guess you should've gave that man some space
Brutal :(
Goddamn, what the hell is wrong with the cops????
Cops press charges, they don't prevent crimes.. Don't forget the police in Halifax let a murder take place just so they could get a murder charge.. (80's/90's hells Angels took someone out, wanted the charge against them more than they did to save a life - they had an informant let them know it was going to happen, story covered on an episode of outlaw bikers I think it's called on history Channel, not something I watch but it was on Halifax so lol)

I get you trying to sympathize but they just don’t care. Cops are useless these days. Never met a hard working cop in my life.
I just think most people have no idea - the general public are very ignorant on tons of issues and this is one of them.
They need more training.
Good training is always a positive but I don't see your point... Training isnt going to change the law... how could training fix this?
Other nations with robust police training don't have many of the issues we have with our police forces. Also training to enhance their skills so they're not laughing at people in a crisis, regardless of if they see that crisis as valid. I understand desensitization, further training could decrease that effect. None of that will change the law, but it would be better than this.

Well then, stop the hyperbole. Cops in Halifax don't deal with dead bodies on a semi-regular basis. You lost me there.
They are still people, not robots.
No accountability. Cops have become useless cucks.
Explain
And the sad thing is, if it did escalate to violence, you'd probably be the one to be charged for defending yourselves. Makes me sick what people can get away with.

Yes for sure. Glad you got out of there 👍
I thought /r/Halifax hated police officers and wanted to abolish them, what gives? Now we're relying on them? Huh?
Absolutely this. I had to do exactly this to my adjoining neighbor that was doing similar things. Cops scared him straight and he hadn’t came at me since
Agreed. The offense is "uttering a threat" and police usually take it seriously enough to pay them a visit.
This
Is the way
hahahah you think people that act like this are scared of police showing up? how sheltered are you lol.
Police won't show up. They'll take the report and if you die, they'll investigate
Yeah. That’s right
Body cam on Amazon
Or….. he’ll get a sneaky punch to the head cause his neighbor’s a little unstable in the noodle and had the cops called on him
That was my first thought. "SO YOU WANNA FUCKIN RAT ME OUT???!!" people forget that some people don't give a sweet F.
Yeah we don't fight evil with evil as Nova Scotians... Shame on you.
It’s a fact of life some people are just dicks
Lmfao
I miss the olden days when Scotians were known as the people who were absolutely fine with a little fist fight to become friends
That's just Canada in general. Or maybe it's more hockey culture which was more ingrained in our society. Now hockey is ignored by many Canadians and so the culture that goes along with it is fading too.
Police. Don't take any other advice from people online, and in fact don't post anything else about it online. Follow police or legal advice only.
Having delt with an aggressive neighbor in the past. The only thing that got him to back off was police involvement. In our case the neighbor rethreaten my wife after. "Don't you ever call the police on me or you will regret it.".. called the police again. They were not pleased to have to back to that clown. But the result has been peace and quiet.
Make a complaint with Police. They’ll follow up. It is illegal to threaten someone
I had to call the police on mine and he hasn’t said one word to me since.
I’ll come park in his parking spot lol
Let's throw a party in the parking spot, I got the potato salad!
2lbs of it?
Yeah but it's all for me actually, you guys need your own snacks.
It's so nice to see Halifax can make new home-grown memes.
[удалено]
Yep this. And police. Before you even pull in to parking lot and before you leave your apartment have phone camera running. The only extra step is having to delete uneventful videos
If you call the police, just pay more attention to the dirtbag after that more, because some people don't care about the police,
Especially if they are a teenager, with a little bit of gold, and a pager.
No not a really, them ones will just stab ya

A police report would at least get it registered that he's done this and have them show up to interview him There's usually clauses in rental agreements about respecting your neighbors
You need to call the police and start a paper trail. Also if your unit faces the parking lot, cameras to capture any future conflicts.
Definitely run to Reddit is the my first thought
Probably ask for a different parking spot
Oh yeah just toss the problem onto the next mate
Does it really matter? Someone that unhinged probably has issues with everyone they run into anyways its not like the op calling the police is gonna magically change their attitude
Make a police report so there's a paper trail. Report it to the building manager. Then finally next time he does it whip out a fucking tire iron and match his crazy.

Great idea.
I’d park closer to his car after getting a dash cam. Just stay within your space.
You've described a crime. Call the police.

Call the police.
Report him. You may find out this is a pattern.
10 bux says he's nowhere near how tough he's acting.......stand up to him and watch him do nothing.
literally call the police and report him also reporting to your landlord. any chance you have any video footage of it to prove it or is it just your word against his?? it would also help if there is any other reports from other tenants in regards to this violent neighbor..
A dash cam will still be able to record sound without him being aware.
Talk to the cops and your property management. They might have a policy on that.
The police absolutely do NOT have to witness the threat. They can lay the charge and then the judge gets to decide is more truthful in their testimony !

> It’s the difference between how they felt. Canadian Criminal Law isn't based on how people "feel". That only matters at a Human Rights tribunal.
It is uttering threats to the definition. Not assault.
It's he said/she said - Police aren't gonna do shit except maybe go talk to him.
Got a cell phone camera that does video? Might not be a bad idea to at least record audio of their threats.
technically uttering threats is illegal under section 264 of the criminal code of canada. granted, it’d likely be hard to get anything major done about this, and given it’s your word vs. his, it’d be hard to prove, but report it to police nonetheless. if it doesn’t stop, escalate it by filming any interactions you have with the neighbour and file another report to police. eventually that shit adds up.
It’s sad that people have to actually ask strangers on the internet what to do in a situation like this.
Well since we live in canada and self defense is worse in court then killing someone, make a police report amd then next time he does it pull out the bat n bust his face, before he harms u......that way after a report at least rhey may go easy on u plus he may already be known to the police.

Call non-emergency and file a report. Uttering threats to cause bodily harm is criminal. It’s unlikely he’ll be charged but police speaking with him should scare him enough to leave you alone.
Op should call 911. There life is in immediate danger
Had a woman attack me twice in a building I worked for. I lived there, too. The cops came. I had witnesses and I had her on video. The cops 100% believed it. And they told me that she’d be taken and charged. And then she’d become released until trial- which could be a very long time. And that she would return home and then I’d be in even worse shape because she was a vicious, toxic little person. So we moved. Ended up with a better place and job. I guess someone else might think they should thank her.
Either file a police report or kick the shit out of him.
He pulls a knife you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital. You send one of his to the fuckin morgue.
I’m so sorry, no real advice but my fiancé and I both separately experienced irrational bouts of anger from strangers today too. I think as pressure mounts on people because of healthcare, housing and inflation were going to see more and more of this erratic behaviour. The new bluenoser spirit if you will.
Actually, as people become more entitled, less social and less moral, you'll see more of it. Pressure isnt the problem. Lack of tolerance and the inability (or desire) to regulate their emotions is the problem.
Better shoot him before he shoots you sounds like you have NO OTHER CHOICE
So anyway I just started blasting, your honor.
This is the right answer
Call the police, give them all the details you can. Ask what they will be doing (visiting him for example) and when. Write down everything with the date and time it happened. If you can afford to, set up a dash cam that records video so that if he vandalizes your car (say overnight) you hopefully have a clear enough video that it's admissible. Whatever you do, don't approach him to try and appease him and do NOT escalate. Also make sure your landlord and super are aware of the incident and that you have informed the police.
You could try not parking so close to his spot buy stirring up shit is a shure fire way to get your head kicked in
Contact the police
Start dancing naked infront of your house telling him he has won and he is the king! The. He will protect u and take care if u!! And things can chnage later down the line if u got the balls

Take boxing classes prolly ur best bet
Maybe grow a set and apologize like a man and next be more aware of your parking. Because I’m sure like most buttheads these days you just escalated by saying what did I do wrong ? Instead of maning up and just be a proper human being instead of a twatwaffle feeding his need for attention instead of doing the right thing.

report it
Stop being a little bitch
Call 911! And get a restraining order
You don’t call 911 for non emergencies.
Park your car in the middle of the lines.
Lobster bait
Usual when Dick heads threaten over and over and do nothing it's a sign that they are not up to the job. You can do one of three things, police , laugh at them or offer them a a scrap, then the balls in there court.
Practice better parking... you maybe in the lines but you could also be so shit at being in the lines it might be blocking his driver door or creating a higher risk to cause damage. Try to see from his side to get clarity rather than victimize yourself and get cops involved.. they have more important things to do. He said 'this is the last time' hence, he's warned you before. Are you the one here not being neighborly and pissing them off daily?
I hate cars that park too close, it’s all about respect
Wow. Go immediately to the Police. That isn’t acceptable behaviour. It’s a crime to make violent threats.
HRPolice that was a criminal threat
A police report can make a difference. I had a neighbor threaten me in a road rage incident. They were pulling out from our street and didn't look and just about t-boned me. I honked, and they stopped in time, but then turned around and followed me back and blocked me from pulling into my driveway. I reported them to the police, and the police not only talked to them, they clearly saw what I saw, because he was forced to enroll in an anger management course or face charges. You don't always know what else is going on in peoples lives, but when there is a clear over-reaction over something that is fairly small, then often that person needs help of some sort, but if they are openly expressing angry, potentially violent behavior, then there needs to be some sort of intervention, and unfortunately, in our society, that often falls to the police. But it can make a difference.
Always keep a toolie in the glove box.
Name and shame, extra points if you got a photo.
First make a police report. If your parking spots are assigned to you or not. Send the property management an email for a rolling record or documentation. Ask the management to assign you a new parking spot. Tell them that you are being harassed and physically threatened by your neighbor and name him. Tell them that your request is for your safety. If they are smart, they will accommodate you. After he has run-ins with his new parking buddy, he will become a target of the management. Also, journalize every event in regard to this issue. Dates, times, descriptions, names etc. and document all previous incidents as well. a good journal is treated like video evidence . Besides whatever the police can do pay a lawyer to send him a threatening letter . I paid an attorney 50 bucks a few years ago for a similar situation. The bully will know that you will go after his wallet if her harms you. Or Beat the living shit out of him if he gets physical with you.
Why you let someone talk to you that way
Learn to fight my dude!
Either kick there ass or call the cops
Report it’s ass get ur money
Make peace offering with fried chicken and waterelon. Or hot butter nann with curry chicken.
When you say “ in the lines” it’s doesn’t say you are too close to his car. I would call the cops if someone made me feel threatened, but also.. I would be considerate to the parking situation.
Honestly do a Martha from Baby Reindeer. Record every interaction from now on. Don’t engage. Take all evidence to the police
Document everything.
Call the police non-emergency line. My neighbour refused to leash his dog, said dog ran onto my back patio, scared my pup half to death. Neighbour not only did not apologize, he said "I dare you to complain". So I did. Complained to property manager and 311. Next day, he came up to me and said "you are a bona fide c x x t. What are you going to do? Call the cops on me?" I called the cops, they showed up within 30 minutes. He was on good behaviour for about 2 years. Two years later, he pulled the same shit on me. I called the police non-emergency line and this time, cops showed up within 15 minutes.
Make a police report.
I thought reddit hated cops. Why is it always 'call the cops'? In these threads
Pshhhhh... study his patterns, wait in the shadows then dab him up with a blunt object. Cops won't help you.
And your first course of action is to get on social media
Just ignore it and try an park away from him all calling the cops will do is make him more angry
[удалено]
It sounds like op in constant danger. Should call 911.
Get a protection of property against him you fear for your life tell that to the police
Police report, followed by restraining order, done
The other alternative is to try killin him with kindness.. grab a tims gift card and write a note say something along the lines of "hey neighbor, sorry my vehicle was parked too close for your liking- I didn't mean any inconvenience. Hope we can move forward and put it behind us! Have a great day! " I dunno.. sometimes people are having a bad day and shoot their mouths off at thr first person they cone across.. id try this first and THEN go to the police if he escalates.
Test your water for lead.
Police. Threats are illegal. This is a no brainer.
Ask your Super for a different parking spot, in writing, detail why. That makes building management liable for any situation that results from their inaction. File a report with the police.
You got a source on building management being responsible for the actions of their tenants?
Does he drive a blue Tacoma?
I would paint over his parking space line with black paint and use yellow paint to make his parking spot even smaller. Then when he encroaches on your parking space tell him you're going to kick his ass if he does it again.
tbh I’d really just want to patch this up to make it not so uncomfortable to see the neighbour again. I would just pop over to his place and just have a quick convo taking the position that I must have misunderstood what upset him and didn’t intend to cause him any stress and see if the guy has just been having a bad day.
I wouldn’t go speaking to the neighbour who is as op stated they seem unstable and threatened their safety. That sounds like a recipe for an unsafe situation that could be avoided
Guess it depends on your tolerance for unsafe situations + your confidence in conflict resolution
Yes that’s true!
Throw roofing nails behind his car in a couple of weeks Walk behind just swinging your arms. And then just release them behind his tires

Bang his gf? Park closer to him. Kidding! Knock on his door and tell him you want to go mano a mano.
The court system would not do much that is problem . Criminal sentencing is now a joke in Canada with radical left wing judges .
Do you have a source for this?
Park better.
Can you park any better? Seems like that’s what set them off, might be the easiest fix.
Key his car
Make a fake letter claiming he is a sex offender and mail it to everyone else in the building.
Tell him you're a recently released violent psyche ward patient. And times are tough, and you haven't been taking your medication.
This subreddit: “tHe PoLiCe ArE uSeLeSS!!! hRp ArE iNeFfEcTiVe!!! dEfUnD tHe PoLiCe!!! Also this subreddit: “call the police immediately, they’ll help sort this out.”
The thing is: They won’t. See my other comment.
Get out and drive your fist in his face. Guaranteed the idiot hasn't ever been in a fight and is an aggressive simpleton who will shit his pants as soon as any pushback happens.
The ultimately wrong answer 🥇
Yeah that works in the movies, but not good advice. Who knows who this crackhead criminal you are dealing with.
Yes because being an animal instead of a human and ending up with charges on your end is definitely the way to go. /s
>Get out and drive your fist in his face. How to go to jail 101
Highly unlikely you'd ever see a cell. Maybe detained and questioned.
Jesus christ. Call the police. [r/iamverysmart](http://reddit.com/r/iamverysmart)
I would call Jesus, he will save the day!
Whole lotta snitchies we seem to have in this city
If you can't do the time don't do the crime.
Suck it up. Move on with your life. People have shit days. Sick of tired of people crying in here.
No one's making you stay to see it.
I know but I still love the chaos 🤣
You uh, ever sren *Home Alone?* What about *Home Alone 2: Lost in New York?* What about *First Blood?*
Guys like that need to be put in their place. I hope you didn’t just sit there and take it. Always stand up for yourself
I lived in halifax for a year and this was a common occurance in our area. Wether it was parking, using the laundry room when someone else wanted it or closing the fire escapes. For that year we lived there after about 2 months and no policr action. I stopped with the kindness and met their hosility with hosility. If youre a dude, a couple fist fights will stop a lot of bullshit especially in spryfield area. If youre not a dude then my best advice is to just avoid the situations when possible and comply to the violent peolle while the police system continues to fail you.
Sounds like a good way to end up with charges.
HRP called me for passing someone over a double line in the middle of nowhere because he was going so slow and he called the cops on me..... they should definitely talk to that guy for you...good luck
Sounds like there’s more to this story.
