"thou shalt love thy neighbour" ... I'm exempt because I cannot stand these people

OMG YES!!! I have neighbors on either side of me, one of which have several children to whom I have given permission to use my basketball standard, the other is a divorcee with a teenage daughter. I recently got a dog and the divorcee called me 4 times in the same evening, left 2 voice mails informing me that my dog was barking so loud she couldn't hear herself think, ect ect. The other day the neighbor boys were shooting hoops while my hubby and I went out to get some food. Apparently the ball rebounded and hit one of our cars, not a big deal. Our "oh-so-charming" neighbor yelled at the boys and told them they couldn't play on our hoop anymore and had also come out a bit earlier to yell at them when the ball had rebounded into her yard.
First off, it's a dog, they bark. You only have to deal with it when she's outside, I have to deal with it 24/7. Secondly, who the hell gave you the authority to tell the kids they can't play in MY yard!? You are overstepping your bounds big time. And lastly, it's winter. Your yard is dead. Why do you care? It's not like you have plants growing. What's the ball going to do? Smoosh the snow? Oh no!
Other than that, I get along with the other neighbors just fine.0 -
My ex-neighbors used to "rescue" pitbulls, having a pitt myself I had no issue with it until they brought home Tank....Tank tried eating my son through the chain link fence....they had a wooden fence put up the next day....she constantly told me I starved my great dane and even called animal control(Which they laughed at her when they saw him), she made fun of my dogs names, and even decided to teach my dane how to jump up her fence so she could pet him(resulting in a 100+LB dog jumping on us all the time for attention)...I was home from work early and caught her opening my gate to give the dogs treats. Her degenerate son was always parking in my front yard or turning around in my driveway.........I didn't hate them...i despised and loathed those people!0

Prior to my current living situation; I had a Mr. Heckles situation (see Friends).
I lived in a really old apt. complex on the third floor. Just me, SO and a cat (weighing less than 5 lbs). ANYTIME we moved...she would bang a broomstick on her ceiling/our floor. It was really bad.
So one night, we were watching TV and I was putting away laundry and she just started banging away. I called the super and we ended up having a mediation. A week later I found out she called the cops, saying we were making all this noise (when both the SO and I were at work) and that we hid inside and just didn't answer the door.
When we finally moved out, she had her patio door open and we could see holes in her ceiling from where she had banged her broom handle. Good luck getting your deposit back.0 -
Well since my direct next door neighbors aren't exactly close and the only time I actually can see their house is in the winter time when the trees have no leaves and since they don't bother us . . .
No. I actually don't hate my neighbors.0 -
No, if I hated my neighbours and they were negatively impacting me I would make them move out.0

I don't HATE them, but they do get on my nerves because they're INCREDIBLY nosy. As in, they sometimes look through the window into my apartment. Now, I understand that they pass by my window on the way to their own apartment, and a glance in wouldn't bother me much. But there was a time when they were outside their apartment and I left mine to go to the gym, leaving my roommate there, and my roommate texted me a few minutes later saying that almost as soon as I left, our neighbours came and looked through our window and started talking about what they saw and my roommate heard it all. They made fun of us for having stains on our carpet (which we don't, by the way. I had just vacuumed and y'know how it leaves streaks and stuff?) and they thought our cat was a dog -- it's not her fault she's so large!
That's not the only time it's happened, either. I'm not sure if they just don't realize that there are people inside that can hear them, or if they simply just don't care.
And one of my small annoyances -- one of the ladies that lives in one of the apartments next to me does not pick up her feet when she walks. So whenever she passes by, it's just this obnoxious shuffling sound. But I can deal with that. The nosiness, on the other hand, really rubs me the wrong way.0 -
My neighbors are nice enough people, but I hate having neighbors. We are currently looking for a place more remote.0

I've called the cops on mine as her pit cries from 7pm-3am when she's gone, throw in she turns off her heat to the point our floors cold I'm sure the dogs so cold.
She drunkly parks blocking the driveway leaving us trapped and unable to go to work, and doesn't anwser her door. (Shared driveway). Oh and blocks driveway so plow can't do our driveway making us shovel the 4 apartment driveway. (8 car spaces)
Oh parties till 5am outside on her porch under our bedroom window 5 days a week.
Stole over $300 of packages our mailman miss delivered and left on her porch.
Just the start, has only been 4 months.0 -
Oh yeah, and at my old apartment, my bedroom was right below the bedroom of my neighbours. I heard everything. EVERYTHING....0
-
I don't hate my neighbours that's a very strong word but I can't say I like them either they can be very anal over the drive we share and get really annoyed whenever my friends use it, I mean it's a piece of frigging concrete they need to get a life0

Mine have an irregular habit of having screaming fights in the middle of the night. Joy. They go on for HOURS. Last time I went down to interrupt, got shouted at, the noise calmed down for half an hour then started up again, and eventually one of the other neighbours got them to stop. Sometime after 3am.
The inconsiderate f**kers have two young kids who have to listen to their screaming :-/0 -
A few years ago when we lived in a condo, our neighbor would pound on the wall whenever my husband and I would wrestle at night.
Such a mood killing jerk.0 -
My neighbor's young son once ate roadkill off the road in front of their house. I pray he doesn't grow up to be a sociopath.0

The dog barking this is stupid. Train your dog to not bark 24/7. It's not your neighbors fault your dog barks, yet they have to listen to it.0 -
It is not okay to knock on my door just to come visit and talk and ask for stupid things 8 times a night and make our three dogs bark their heads off each time. SURE JOE YOU CAN BORROW THE LAWNMOWER. BUT NOT AT 11 O' CLOCK AT NIGHT. JOE.0

oh great...way to get me started! Neighbor across the street...mother of two, lives with her mother....constantly borrowing things from our kitchen...sends her kid over to play with ours, without asking mind you and when we allow him to play with our 6 yr old, he rearranges whatever room he is in....every time! even after I've had several man to boy talks with him. She leaves her cig butts in our yard, Comes over to talk to my wife and while walking through the kitchen, tries the food that my wife has been preparing. I don't know how much more I can really handle with this one. I think I'm really about to piss someone off.
ok, I feel a little better now...thanks for the post! lol0 -
I don't want to say that I hate them, but I certainly don't like them! I live in an executive neighborhood where it is usually quite and peaceful (just the busy body stay at home moms gossiping for the only entertainment....which I am not one of). My neighbor is a drunk though and last 4th of July he set our yard on fire and a tree setting fireworks off in a drought (and the township would turn our water off if caught watering due to the shortage). Needless to say, he tried to BLOW OUT THE FIRE with his drunk mouth. It took out a huge everygreen tree and about 350 sq feet of grass before we could get out there and get the hose on it. We had to call the fire department and police. He has been talking smack about us to most of the neighborhood for calling the police on him...but what the heck did he expect!!! Luckily, my husband is the president of the homeowners association and most of the neighborhood likes us better than him so they don't pay any attention to him. It is still uncomfortable when we and someone from his home are outside at the same time. He had to pay $1,350.00 to replace the tree and that part of the grass to, so they makes it uncomfortable as well.0

On one side is an abandoned house that has been abandoned for about 10 years now...
The other side is a guy who let his 16-year-old son do whatever he pleased...he dropped out of schoool and did not work along with all his other friends. One day while I was at work they all decided to break into our house and empty us of everything we had worked so hard for. Nobody saw anything because it was all passed over the privacy fence in the backyard...of course they said they know nothing about what happened but yet they bragged about it to other friends and got back to us but there was no proof. I still do not speak to the Dad or the kid. UGH!0 -

maybe you should have moved the wrestling ring to another room. just sayin

I thought I was crazy at first for hating my neighbor. He's just a cranky old man. But it go worse over time. In the summer, he mows his lawn starting at about 6pm until after dark. Lack of sun doesn't stop him either, he straps a flashlight to his mower and keeps going.
He and his wife talk/yell at each other to be heard over their lawn equipment right outside my kids window, well past their bed time. He told us we shouldn't cut down the (diseased) peach tree in our yard because he and his wife came over to pick the fruit. He complains about my dogs barking even though he's constantly banging on the fence antagonizing him but when I ask him if he could NOT mow at 9:30 at night I got "It's my yard and I'll do what I want!"
Someone down the street was throwing away some branches in the dumpster behind my property. I walked out and saw my cranky neighbor interrogating them about what they were doing and ended up following them down the alley for 15 minutes.
Also, he decides to come on my property to mow and weedeat, specifically while my kids are asleep. After my daughter woke up and we were there alone, I went outside to ask him to get the eff off my property. I had my daughter on my hip and asked him to please get off our property. He just glared at me and got closer and closer with the stupid thing threatening me with it WHILE holding my daughter.
The he got mad that some of our grass was poking through the fence in the backyard so he attached a saw blade to a long pole and decided to reach over the fence to handle it. Obviously our dog freaks out. My husband goes back to tell him to stop and he glares at my husband spinning this saw blade like he's about to hit my husband. My husband takes it away and dude threatens to call the cops.
Ugh! I feel better venting. BTW, we own our home so moving isn't really an option. As bad as it sounds I'm just hoping he dies soon.0 -

I live in low income housing. None of us have class. We're all white trash here.
Keeps us friendly to each other.0 -
after moving due to neighbours from hell (the teenage boy used to come on our drive and pee over our car when drunk amongst other things!), I am blessed to have lovely neighbours APART from the fact that they both have HUGE beasts of cars which both get parked slightly over our drive each and every day. bearing in mind we paid to have our drive widened and the kerb dropped to give us better access it is rather annoying! .......but they are so nice we don't like to say anything!0
-
Trust me, I am. She only barks when she's done with her business at which point I am usually pretty quick about letting her back inside, but sometimes I take her out before I go to the store or something and just don't end up being that quick. Other than that she really is pretty quiet unless a biker, jogger, or another dog go by the window.0

I think I'm the annoying neighbor. *Fesses up*
I have two kids in a ground floor apartment. 2 girls in the apartment upstairs. Guy on the third floor. We got offered to move to the upstairs apartment and declined because the noise of the kids running above peoples heads would be WAY more annoying than it is beneath them. The guy on the third floor sometimes plays his music too loud at 2am and the girls upstairs sometimes leave their cigarette butts on the ground outside where my daughter can get them, but that's minimal annoyance.
MUCH better than some of the other tenants that have been here.0 -
I used to be surrounded by annoying neighbors. Then again I was living in a ghetto. Then I moved to a better ghetto, and they're more civilized around here.
I own a condo that I now currently rent. My lovely neighbors used to always park in my spot behind my garage. I used to always have to honk the **** out of my horn for them to come out. I think they enjoyed pissing me off. I wish I could've hid my anger and tried a different approach, but I hated them so much and as an Aries, I can't hide stuff like that. So they must've known I hated them and just kept on pulling their crap to irk me.
The neighbors across from me always had drama. Chick would kick out baby daddy and he'd be pacing around the front cussing and talking to himself about how his baby momma is a b****h and how he don't deserve that crap...
...the ones that walked around with red shiny cups during all hours of the day, because who needs to be employed when they can mooch off girlfriends or mom's. Oh, Oh! and the ones that bumped their car stereos while you're trying to watch a show or read a book. Not to mention how if you called the cops they seem to have look-outs or radar so they're well behaved when they finally cruise by!!!!! ARGH!!! LOL memories!
So glad I now rent it and my husband handles all that. I don't even collect my rent because I don't want to go there and run into my old "annoying" neighbors.0 -

I would have gotten louder and louder we would have sounded like a cheesey porno by the end lol0 -

Says the guy with the avatar taking a sh!it0 -
Where I live now is out in the country and I only have cows for neighbors (the mooing doesn't bother me) but at my last place I lived next door to a rental with a revolving door of tenants. The worst was the three early-20's guys that had parties out on their deck every fricking night until 3:00 am. I could hear them slur-yelling and laughing all night but couldn't quite make out what they were saying. My boyfriend and I would wonder what on earth they could have to shout and laugh about for hours on end every night...so we made a little game of what we knew they WEREN'T saying....such as "Ya got to diversity your portfolio, dude! BWARHAHAHAHA!!!". Gawd, I was glad when they finally moved.
The second worst was the crackhead-looking woman who would curse and scream at her two kids all day. They were both under 10 and I felt so bad for them. Out of pity I used to hire them to do little yardwork jobs for me and they would take the money and go straight to the corner store and spend it on food. I'm sure their mom would just take it and spend it on drugs or booze if they gave her half a chance.0 -
