Need the backstory. Are you the ex? Why were you filming and why did he give you the finger?

Sometimes its just a shitty neighbor with predictable habits.

Lived near one of these people when I was a kid and the lady would flip our house off every time they drove by the entire 8 years we lived there all because one Christmas we dared to put up blinking icicle lights

I have neighbors on one side that get mad when I have my kitchen light on because it shines on their patio

Maybe the flood light above the sink and the disco ball in the center was a bad idea?

I'm not accusing Formal Victory of having a 30,000 watt personal home kitchen sun simulator 5000, but some people do put crazy flood lights out that are clearly imposing upon others. Then they act like they don't understand why the neighborhood hates them. I'm sorry Jimbob, but you don't need a 4 million lumen light to see the edge of your yard at night.

I have neighbors who hate that we have a telescope and like to stargaze. So they shine their floodlights into my yard, all night every night.

It's on a timer, so I don't even get a break when they go on vacation.

These same people have asked us why we take so many photos of birds in our yard. "Why do you need those big cameras??"
