Annoying neighbors? Rant about 'em online

COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Just outside his sealed bedroom window, beyond the chain-link fence that surrounds his next-door neighbor's yard, sit the reasons David Adams says he can't sleep: two bushy-tailed dogs that bark and howl all night.

The Magnolia, Mississippi resident plugged up his ears and even took his neighbor to court alleging a noise violation.
But the barking went on. Finally he discovered a Web site seemingly tailor-made for such suburban woes: RottenNeighbor.com.
"Nothing seemed to work. I couldn't get any help from the city," Adams said. "So I figured, let's try public humiliation."
He posted a video of the troublesome pooches on the site, and other users chimed in on his plight. Some offered sympathy and methods of silencing the mutts. Others berated him for blaming the animals.
The site founded last July is part online therapy, part trashy paperback novel. It singles out neighbors for offenses ranging from shoddy lawn upkeep ("They have garbage all through their yard") to alleged violence ("He has tried to run us down with his push lawnmower").
"It's kind of like watching a train wreck," admits 51-year-old Maegan Polak, of Flossmoor, Illinois. "You know you shouldn't be enjoying it, but you are."
Don't Miss
<LI _extended="true">Yes, it was awful -- now please shut up (http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/06/03/o.awful.shut.up/index.html)
I'm sorry for my bad apology... (http://www.cnn.com/2008/LIVING/personal/06/25/good.apologies/index.html)
Users are invited to post advice on dealing with neighbors who fight and yell, who let their animals defecate on other people's property, who neglect their septic tanks -- even those who cook foul-smelling food.
The site shows how neighborhoods are changing, said Polak, a figure skating instructor who visits RottenNeighbor.com occasionally....
