Is this harassment?

murph226

I had an argument with a distant neighbour that I don't really know over a contested right of way over my property.

Since this argument took place they beep every time the pass my house.

Fairly childish in fairness, is it harassment?

Is there anything I can do about it?

Ignore it, they’ll grow tired of it. If you react it will just encourage them

Yeah we've been ignoring it so far but it's getting a bit old now.

Any reaction is a reaction, and a win for Captain Beep.

Put on your biggest smile and give him your friendliest wave every time he does it. Should annoy him to no end.

I would be tempted to do that myself, but it is basically escalation. If he's enough of a child to beep the whole time and you intentionally wind him up with smiles and waves, what does he do next now that he is even more irrationally angry?

Could set up a cam and record him doing it for the purposes of reporting him to the police.

I dealt with someone like this, after a long time of Gardai refusing to deal with I got a guy who I did not think would do anything, and it (what I was dealing with from the person) stopped.

Gather evidence, it could go on for years, the kind of person (adult) that does this needs imo to be put in their place, don't do anything to discourage them or motivate them to alter their methods, set up a camera that can record audio or do it seperately so you can show its occurring together, get something that is of sufficient quality and start making records.

I lucked out getting a Garda who I did not think was going to help me and did. I could have been better at keeping records, but the person I was dealing with was very sneaky.

I assume your initial concern is genuine (ie right of way) that said, if not, then Im sure there are legitimate means to deal with that, them responding in this manner deserves a pick axe handle around the head.

A friend of mine had similar. Garda wouldn't do anything. Friend went to see the Superintendent. Stopped them
