Dealing with unwanted gifts/bribes

[casa_mugrienta]

Long story short.

Iranian guy buys the house next door in a scam sale. Rents to nuisance tenants.

It took about a year for him to get them under control. This was after several acrimonius meetings with myself and other owners in our building where he was rude and dismissive, insisting they were legally entitled to their behavior (false). We could've gone the "call the cops" route but we allowed him to deal with it and after much misery he eventually did.

Now he's sending presents. Thanksgiving it was a pumpkin pies (threw them away). Today I arrived home to find a Christmas card with a $50 gift card inside. A few other owners received one as well.

Our HOA knows there are brewing issues with him coming down the pipes so we want to keep things strictly business.

Unfortunately this gift crap is my domain to deal with. Best way to get him to knock it off?

What does he want from you?

Did he deal with the problem?

Don't cash the gift certificate.

Problem solved.

Casa M problems are the best

Give the gift card to your friendly trader joes cashier happy holidays

 

[Kento]

Look at them as gifts. Take them.

No obligation to reciprocate.

They'll clearly understand the need to up the ante to truly get results.

And that's when you hook us all up with a month in Tavarua.

Round up yours and the neighbors cards and send them to me.

I can dispose of them on your behalf.

where are the cards for?

Cut his arms off and titfuck him!

 

[casa_mugrienta]

What does he want from you?

Monterey cypress cut down. Would give the last 4 feet of his driveway ocean view. Not happening - it''s something that gives our building a good look.

Did he deal with the problem?

Yes, but not aggressively - it took extraordinary measures on our behalf and many sleepless, miserable nights for many in our building.

Chart House.

Never mind. I don’t want them either.

guy could at least offer a decent bribe.

 

[casa_mugrienta]

Cut his arms off and titfuck him!

It's not a bad idea, but I'm wanting to deal with this awkward situation tactfully.

1. he's smart, he knows gifts get reciprocated.

2. Return the gift. return it to him and telll him you are sorry but you cannot accept it for whatever reason. you are not obligated to accept a gift. I've done it and its' awkward but it will send a message.

 

[One-Off]

Can't you just enjoy a surf n turf dinner at the Charthouse and then tell him to fuckoff when he asks to cut down the tree? Say, "Thought it was a gift not a bribe?"

Yeah maybe leave his arms on. You aren’t a savage.

Does he have an ocean view from other parts of his house already, and he’s just grinding you down for the end of his driveway?

 

[keenfish]

An uppercut to the chin and a right cross to the throat should do the trick.
Tell him thanks for the gift after he comes to after someone resuscitates him.
That should cement the neighbor bond and deliver the message?

This is my gut feeling, there's no way I could enjoy a dinner on this guy's dime anyway.

 

[Autoprax]

I have neighbors that have a dog that barks all day now. They come out into the yard and the dog just barks. They just let it.

It's this super insistent dominating bark.

So weird.

People are so inconsiderate.

Send him back Silk undergarments and perfume from the “HOA”.
