Jeff in California was not too happy when a neighbor slapped this on his door. “I am a lover of vintage neon,” he says, “and do not drink Budweiser or hang out in dive bars.” (I’m guessing his neighbor didn’t catch the nuance.)

Tacky is leaving a snide note and not knowing how to spell understanding and truly.

Can’t sign the note?
You don’t deserve the respect of compliance.
God, I hate pussies.

Doesn’t matter if you “don’t drink budweiser” or “don’t hang out in dive bars.” Apparently the note writer doesn’t understand that by hanging neon signs in your place that are visible to everyone, you then MAKE IT LOOK like your place is a dive bar. And THAT is what no one wants to see.
Note could’ve been written better to reflect this, but as with most PA notes, the worse the grammar/spelling/syntax is, the funnier the note.
This one kinda falls flat.

“I” —> “neighbors” doesn’t gel. Shouldn’t it be “Your neighbor”? Or is this tool more of a pussy than initially thought? “Signed: Me! Me and my really big ARMY of people who all think you’ve practically broken the law too.” PS: Where I live, the gist of that note has no merit anyway. You cannot mandate how another person decorates, even if it lacks your sophisticated sense of style, and, yes, even if your precious peepers are assaulted by it daily. In Australia we call that Fascism.

I would move the sign directly into the window, just because I’m a dick. And add an additional sign into every window to be an extra big dick. But that’s just me, you can do whatever you wish.
Just no pink flamingos, I hate those damn things,

Please move your Budweiser sign so it can’t be seen from the window. My girlfriend keeps getting confused and heading to your house every night, because she thinks it’s a dive bar. At least I think that’s why she goes over there.

The magnet reminds me – I wonder what kind of outrage would spew forth from the local Christian community if I posted a similar note about my neighbor’s painted wood carving of Caucasian Jesus’s toned body, delicate features, and perfectly conditioned hair nailed to the cross. It’s either that or the blowup nativity scene, but at least they take that down a few months after Christmas.

Unless the lights are keeping you up at night, or there is a naked Hitler fucking a baby in bright green neon, then i don’t think anyone has to move the sign.
It would be nice, but I personally would not do it unless the person came up to talk to me in person. I am all for being nice to your neighbors, keeping the neighborhood clean, and making sure you do not offend the local culture. But a beer sign is not the end of the world.

“lover of vintage neon”. Douche. That said, it’s his damn house to be douchey in!

with the no religion thing on the door, maybe they assumed the tenant is a drunken slob who lives for beer, not a neon collector. Complainers gotta complain.

You all may have it wrong! Maybe the objection isn’t to the sign, but to the brand of beer. A Corona neon sign might be okay. (I used “Corona” because I couldn’t spell “Hienekin.”)

Dive Bars = Cheaper Alcohol and a set of folks with a lot of character. I don’t see what the problem is.

Wow, i’d hate to live across the street from such a proud hipster too. That said, I live in a college town. I’m pretty used to a world decorated by self-satisfied 20-somethings. At least they grow out of it eventually, unlike prissy neighbors like the note writer.

It might not be as easy to move as the neighbor might think. We have six in our game room(no one can even see our house from the road), and they are heavy, there could be only so many places they could put it with the proper support. Perhaps simply closing the blinds at night could keep the neighbor from being irritated. If they have them on in the daytime, then the neighbor is just being overly picky.

I’m a bit confused by why your interior decoration matters so much?

Knew someone once upon a time with a Schlitz Malt Liquor Bull 3D neon sign. His wife who was shall we say uncomplicated, used the horns to hang wet laundry on.
For those that are too young to remember Schlitz symbol was a bull crashing through a wall.

The neighbors need to close their blinds and mind their business. Unless they run a homeowners association or something, leaving a note about someone else’s decor is tacky and pointless. 10 bucks says this person ran out to get more neon signs.
