M_Sinistrari posted:For the most part I've lucked out with not having crappy neighbors, but that just meant when I did have one it'd be a doozy. I've lived at this complex for years without a problem and when my then boyfriend/now fiance and I decided to move in together, it was easier for me to talk to management about just relocating to a larger apartment in the complex than find somewhere new. Our problem with our downstairs neighbor started the day we moved in with her beating on the door as we're unpacking yelling that we're running water and it's flooding her bathroom. Maintenance comes by and it turns out it's a leak from another apartment that's running along the pipes in the walls and dripped into her bathroom. We figure no big deal, mistaken assumptions happen. But after that she became fixated that we're the reason for this loud pounding machine noise she's hearing, and begins this years long campaign of constantly aggressively confronting us about this noise. My fiance and I don't hear a thing like this and what noise we hear from the nearby complex boiler and heating/air conditioning unit isn't anything like what she insists she's hearing. She ends up going to management to complain about us repeatedly and they come to investigate to find nothing that could be describing what she's insisting. Management tells us to ignore her, she's on record being a constant complainer. From bsing with the maintenance guys we find out she's on disability and has a tendency to go off whatever meds she's supposed to be on. Sounds like it's the perfect time to set up an air compressor or something in your place just to gently caress with her. Just leave it running all day, and when she complains she'll be reminded how it can't possibly be your fault!

My neighbor has two pairs of twins that are 4 and 6 respectively. They had a single child and then decided they weren't miserable enough and wanted to have another, but instead they got twins. So now with three children they decided one more would be a nice round number, and the second set of twins popped out. This leads to many, many hours of just completely random incredibly loud screaming coming from their backyard during the summer. I hate children.

To people without kids, or with quiet kids, the sounds of constant mayhem are so loving awful.

we live in rural area so we have 2 sorta weird neighbors. On one side we have a dude who burns poo poo every sunny day without fail and on the other side we have bluecollar family who are actualy pretty nice but the grandmother is nuts and wanders into our yard a decent amount. when i was little we had much worse ones. basically the had a untrained pissed off rottie that broke its chain and would run around in our yard and chase me and my friends while foaming with rage.

I live in a rural area and my old neighbor was pretty awesome- he was like 75 years old but could have still kicked the poo poo out of me. Everyday I would get up to take the dog out and he'd be walking to his barn to do carpentry stuff and we'd wave at each other. A few times he lent me tools and helped me with stuff that he probably thought I could hurt myself doing. Last time we did stuff together (fix up each side of the fence that separates our land, like out of a Robert Frost poem!) he was very much changed: confused, not really there. He developed Alzheimer's very quickly and is now in a home. I went to visit him once and he kept telling me he was going home when he got better  The new neighbor is his son. He's quiet, we talk every once in a while.

Back in May I had my driveway sealcoated on a Friday as it had been a couple years and was due. Cost $150 but it looked like black glass when they were done. Great job. My wife was out of town so I took a few days off to get some things done around the house and to be available to pick her up from the airport upon her return. The following Wednesday I went out to see if it was dry enough and I could get the lawn mowed before it was time to pick her up. I walked out to the front of my house and my driveway had these huge circles scratched in it. I called the neighbor to the north (young engaged couple, one kid from her previous relationship, nice people). He said he'd grill their kid and the other neighbor to the south's kid and if they fess up, he'll make it right. He brought them over and each blamed the other, but yeah - they were doing donuts on an electric scooter and grinding a metal part that sticks out on the blacktop. We got back from the airport and the other neighbor to the south (married couple, alleged infidelity issues, he's a drunk hillbilly) was moseying out to do his usual roaming around the neighborhood, whiskey in one hand/tallboy beer in the other. I asked him to come over and showed him what had been done and that i can't allow the kids to play on my driveway anymore since now they're damaging it. He seemed okay with it and went on. About an hour later the doorbell rings and it's the redneck. He's had a few more drinks and is suddenly not okay with me telling him that his kid can't play on my property. He asked me outside to look at it again and pointed at the damage saying things like, "I don't see what the big fuckin' deal is - it's just a driveway. It's gonna get scuffed eventually anyway.." and the passive-aggressive, "I can't tell you what do with your property but, >insert telling me what to do with my property here<." I tried to let him know that it's not cool that his kid was a participant in ruining a brand new sealcoat job, but he just didn't get it. Even the other neighbors since have tried to tell him he's in the wrong but he still to this day never apologized nor offered to help pay to fix it. I haven't spoken to him since this incident as I was just absolutely gobsmacked that he had the sack to tell me he flat out didn't give a drat and I shouldn't either. From what i gather, I got lucky that it took him 13 years to do something like this to me. Most of the other neighbors hate the guy, too.

Last year my Grandad died of lung cancer, and as my Nan hadn't lived by herself before I volunteered to move in to her spare room as she was lonely, frail and too nice for her own good. Luckily we lived in the same town so it wasn't much of a move. The main difference however was that I lived with my parents beforehand in the nice part of town, whereas this was one of the shadier parts, which meant housing was cheap which in turn attracted plenty of coffin dodgers (my town is also famous for it's old peoples homes). Now, the house was semi-detached, which meant I shared a wall with her neighbour. He was a nice guy, a widower and an avid gardener. I had met him several times when I visited my Nan previously and also at my Granddad's funeral. He was a great help to my Nan while my Granddad was bedridden, mowing the lawn and getting the shopping in etc. Unfortunately, he had a lot of mental issues. Every night around 10 pm he would sit in his garden and smoke his old man cigarettes and he would just start moaning; softly at first; but getting louder and louder. Of course this freaked me the gently caress out, so I asked my Nan what was up. She said he did that every night when he was drunk and that I should just ignore him. The moaning was just the beginning of it though. He would also talk to himself; not full conversations mind you; but statements or questions, that started loud and would trail off, or the reverse. I'll refer to him as Fred, but I've changed all the names for privacy reasons. His usual staples were: "Harry's gone ...", "Your father was a harsh man Fred.", "Oh Christ Fred no.", "Your own mother Fred!", "He's dead!" and other various moan or variations at a range of different volumes (some shouted), but never angry, just sad. He'd keep this up all night usually, I'm not quite sure when he slept, but at the time I worked at Starbucks so would get up at 3:30 AM and still hear him. Obviously hearing this was heartbreaking and disturbing and it was horrible and for the first few weeks. However, like anything I got used to it eventually and even stopped noticing it, or only noticed when he was away because it would be so quiet. But honestly, hearing his pining dirge on that first night filled me with such dread I'm a bit ashamed. I'm moving back with my Nan in October to save money and tbh it's better than paying a ridiculous amount of money for a flat with views of a main road roundabout.

I had an old neighbor do this poo poo once to me too. Annoying as gently caress. This feeble shaky jackass walks out his porch one night at 2 am to smoke one of his cancer sticks. Stupid addict. I was up vaporizing like a civilized human with self control,he's coughing and shaking and wheezing and I'm forcedto turn around my chair to not make eye contact cuz I have so much self control I'm not going to let the furious rage and anger of him ruining my late night chill affect me. And behind me, the loving old guy just won't stop. Cough couhg eeeeugh. Crash, he's on the ground "H-he he" What's that you porky pig smoking stupid gently caress "he he- he" Finally I couldn't take it SHUT THE gently caress UP and I slammed the door behind me. Avoidance. Everything worked out fine, no jail time for me this time. And two hours later the ambulance showed up and I never to deal with him again thank goodness.

In my old apt (around '05) my neighbors broke in and stole my xbox, laptop and a monitor cord. They were caught rather quickly, and in the police report I inflated the value of what was missing when they were caught (said the Xbox cords were worth $100, the monitor was worth $50, etc). So the guys did some jail time and had to send me little $50 checks every once in a while to compensate me. So essentially, they broke in for the privilege of doing a few months in jail and giving me money.

We had a woman living next door to our house. One day her daughter came to visit, she didn't do it often. This time though, the daughter came out screaming bloody murder, literally. The woman had been found stabbed to death. The daughter and boyfriend moved into the house once the crime scene was cleared. They never found the killer. Everyone thought it was them who did it; even the cops told us they were quite convinced of it, but they didn't have enough evidence to convict her. We eventually moved, I guess they're still living the life.

Our downstairs neighbor (basement) had her stereo somewhere near a wall and it would make everything at our place would vibrate at the bass. We couldn't hear any high frequency sounds, just constant *thuuump thuuump* and feeling my feet vibrate while cooking and my chair vibrate all through dinner. I told her about it and she moved the stereo, which fixed the issue. I guess she wasn't a bad neighbor after all.

The guy who used to live across our street was pretty good, all told; after his wife died of cancer, though, I guess he just couldn't stand living in there any more. So, he ended up moving out, and rented the place out to... Our current neighbors. The rumor I'd heard was that they'd been living in the neighboring town, had snuck their kids into our town's school system (since it's known for being really, really good for public schooling), and suddenly moved into our neighbor's place when they got caught so they wouldn't be kicked out. So things are already off to a great start. They've got a shitload of kids of all ages living under their roof, in addition to the dogs I mentioned in my last post, so you can probably imagine what the noise situation is like. Aaaand then it turns out they like ATVs, so they've been clear-cutting a pretty large bit of their woods and chipping it all up early in the morning on the weekends to make their own personal rink. In a residential neighborhood.  ...I'm almost positive they had to be talked down from chopping down the cherry tree our old neighbor had planted in memory of his wife.

Every once in a while when I come home from work I see an old guy puttering down my street on his riding mower with a toddler on his lap. He has hearing protection, the toddler does not. A few times a year, the people at the other end of the street will break out the go carts and kids will tear rear end up and down the street and I sometimes wish I'd hit them. One other house at that end - a dead end - fills the entire end of the street with piles of gravel or dirt for some massive construction project in their backyard and will set off professional grade fireworks for Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day. But whoever makes the charges never gives them enough propellant because they only go up 20-30 feet and detonate, raining sparks over that end of the neighborhood. The cops also won't do poo poo because I guess no one on the street calls in with the magic code words to get them to roll up.

My neighbours seem to communicate entirely in high-volume swearing, but only when they're indoors. Outdoors they're lovely people that are fun to chat with. It's very strange. Also they have two dogs that I've never seen them walk in four years so the dogs just stay inside and bark all day every day.

When I was young the house next door went through a few owners and, for a brief time, was a rental property. This family moved in and they didn't bathe or really do anything except sleep during the day and play drums at night. One hot summer night and my parents are waked up around 3am to the sounds of drums and a massive party going down over there. Dad calls the cops, they come by to tell everybody to settle down, and then the oldest son (who had to be in his mid-twenties) comes out, screaming at my dad to start a fight while slurring in a very big way. My dad wants to go fight, my mom calls the cops and is pissed that she's having to deal with this during a school night. She calls the cops again, and this time tells them that the guy is threatening, and she 'thinks he has a gun' because gently caress this guy, that's why. I grew up in a small town where nothing happens after 8pm. Except this night where every single loving cop on the night shift comes screeching in guns drawn screaming for people to get on the ground. Mr. Loudmouth just happens to hit the hood of a squad car a few times. Two days later, the family vanished and there's a new For Rent sign up in the yard as the house is being repainted and gutted for remodeling. The next guy was pretty cool, and the current guy works for the city. I guess my parents are the bad neighbors, but I still get a kick out of it. I was too young to be offended by the police brutality of it all and just thought it was like Robocop 2.
