Crazy neighbor rant

I'd be telling the neighbor that HIS problems are HIS problems, and that they're NOT your problems.
I had one of these types across the street from me. He was a retired policeman, which only made his personality even worse.
I was building a custom 8x12 yard barn in my backyard (which he couldn't even SEE from his house), and he stormed into MY backyard, ranting and raving about it.
I had all of the necessary permits that I needed. I used the same materials/colors to build the yard barn that were used to build my house, and I even landscaped around the barn like I had around the house.
I stopped working and freely let him vent for 4 to 5 minutes. Then I picked up my cell phone and told him that he had 30 seconds to wrap it up, and then I would be calling the sheriff's department so they could send a deputy to help him find his way back to his house. Of course, with him being a retired cop, that had the desired effect, and he immediately found his way back home... and I never heard from him again. (*YAY!*)
Of course, less than two hours later, I received a friendly visit by the local municipal building inspector, who checked my permits and found everything in order.

Then get an innertube, some pool shorts, a pair of sunglasses, and a beer. Park yourself on the tube in the middle of the driveway and let the water run all around you. When the crazy guy comes out to complain, tell him your relaxing in your pool
Alcohol is strictly illegal in Kuwait. (or was 20 odd years ago) Better make that a Coke or a Pepsi.
Not sure about the Kuwaiti laws regarding antagonizing a neighbor. From my perspective, the laws were often unusual. (I'm sure from their perspective our laws are too)
