Neighbors habits that annoy you.

Oh I forgot the best bit. On Christmas eve if 2009,he had been drilling and hammering for most of the day. It went quiet at 9.30pm for a couple of hours. Come 5 minutes to midnight,the drilling started again. I lost my temper and banged really hard,on the floor (they lived in the flat below us) with a broom handle. Their response? To bang back on their ceiling,telling me to 'shut the fuck up'. Right.

Ours spends all day in the back garden smoking weed. Or if it's raining, she spends the at in her bedroom smoking it with the windows wide open. I'm not judging because if that's what she wants to do, then fine. I just wish it didn't bloody stink so much 😡

We had the neighbours from hell up until 5 years ago. Apart from smoking cannabis from the crack of dawn every day,they had a dog that barked and howled continually every time they went out,and the bloke was constantly on some DIY project,so every weekend we were subjected to drilling,hammering and sawing from 8 am until midnight. All this was in addition to loud rap music being blasted out any time of the day or night,constant visitors in and out of their flat mistakenly buzzing our intercom,and the woman shrieking and getting hysterically angry with anyone and everything. Numerous complaints to the council did little to help. Peace finally reigned when they moved out 5 years ago. Our new neighbours hardly make a sound. Bliss.

i love cats. if i lived alone on a big plot of land I'd have twenty of them. but i live in a cul-ed-sac so have none since ours died a couple of years ago. my neighbour is driving me and most of the other neighbours mad. she has started leaving out pies for the 'stray' cats. and I'm talking steak and kidney pies, mince and onion pies etc, food that is too rich for cats, then they shit it all out over our gardens. another neighbour has cats who are fed dry food and couldn't understand why their mess was getting so disgustingly runny and smelly. when he found out he was livid. another one has a dog who keeps putting on weight and she couldn't understand it. bloody thing was going next door for pie and chips!!!!!!! thing is the cats aren't strays. they're coming to her house because she feeds them, not because they need fed.

No problem with my neighbours - and don't cause them any ( as far as I know!).

However - a friend lives near a pair of grandparents whose family visit often and unleash their children into the garden where one girl cries endlessly. Feel sorry for the child if course, but cannot understand why the mother does not take her inside and shut the windows rather than forcing every single person in the area to listen to the hysterics.

Oh god, where do I start?! Dogs barking, kids yelling. Blocking our drive, dog crapping on our front lawn, drum and bass music into the wee small hours...constant (for the last three years now) building work on the house and the back garden so noise of power tools, clouds of dust drifting over. I pray a sink hole will open up under their house and swallow the fuckers....all of them.

My neighbour took his bin out at 2am last night? Just why? At that time of night a bloody wheelie bin could wake the dead.

One neighbour smokes pot all the time, right outside my window so my house often smells of dope in the summer.

Another neighbour has a sociopathic child in the making, and I'm not joking.

I feel for you...that must be bloody awful. It's not fair when you can't bear to be in your own home.
I would have to kill them...

I have a public pathway next to my house, however all the little shitbag kids from the entire street use my garden and path as the easy way to get to the alley upto the main road.. They also broke my little fence so they could use it
Mentioned it a fair few times and asked nicely to stop using my garden path and to get off their bikes and use the steps instead. Get a barrage of abuse such as "fuck off you slag" "go fuck yourself" - these kids are aged about 7-11...

Also, I trapped my finger in the door the other day at about 9pm... I screamed in pain and she banged the wall and told me to shut the fuck up.
Another one is due to parking in our street, most days I'm last in and first out so we block each other in due to lack of parking outside the houses! I usually knock on and ask politely if whoever has blocked me in to swap spaces with me (usually about 7:30am so not unreasonable) and never any issues. God forbid I do it to next door (the one who banged on the wall)... Her husband is lovely and will knock on and ask nicely, however if I don't answer my door on the first time of her caving my door in, she bangs on twice as hard and for longer...
First time she did it, I thought it was the police!

However, the neighbours are generally lovely and friendly, just the one side pisses me off more so than anything!

Our neighbours seem to think that shouting 'shut up' at a dog will help too

The dog just thinks they are joining in with the barking.
I wish a training course was compulsory for people getting a dog.

Cannot go out and just close the door. SLAM. Every time. He leaves for work at 530am.

Every Sunday without fail they go out for lunch and get battered, roll home at about 9pm. 5 minutes later the child cries hysterically because he's probably over tired poor thing. Every Sunday without fail.

We have a neighbour who is a builder he has spent the past two years doing DIY at weekends improving his property......it's a choice over what is the most annoying the power tools or the radio,

Our's swear blind that their dog never barks when they're out. It does though,all the sodding time
You're not at home to hear it you wankers

My neighbours are alright. Although the woman on one side has told me she loves cock. Okay then. But wait, it gets so much better. Sat at home one weekend evening with my DP when we hear a noise coming through the wall. We were 'wtf was that' . It turns out someone was getting spanked quite hard and obviously really enjoying it. I damn near pisses myself laughing, it was definitely more entertaining than whatever we were watching. Anyone beat that?

We have a semi detached house. Neighbours have a dog that barks non stop from 7am till10pm, the family stay in all day so yell at it constantly to "shut the f up". They fight a lot for 2-3 hours, quite often at 10-11pm. They have put the TV on the adjoining wall and it's loud. They put the music on so loud you can hear it all through the house. They park their cars over our drive. I work from home three days a week. I hate spending time in my house

Instead of training the dog or bringing it in, they shout 'Shut up!!!' from inside their house

Our neighbours seem to think that shouting 'shut up' at a dog will help too.

Gotta you can download apps which emit high pitched noises only dogs can hear

Yes, thanks - We did buy a device but the fence is high and it doesn't work through the fence. I should imagine the app would be the same?
We know it does work though because we tried it on a relatives dog when it was barking...with no fence in between us.
I don't blame the dog - it seems to be a nervous wreck..I blame the stupid owners.

Gotta you can download apps which emit high pitched noises only dogs can hear. Get one of those...or, speak firmly to it yourself.

"No!" works with my dog.

Lady nextdoor smokes in her garden right by the house against our fence. Smell comes in all of our windows. OH is asthmatic and I'm pregnant so it's making us feel really ill.
The lady who used to live here befriended the neighbourhood cats so they think it's fine to use our garden as their litter tray and our house as their own. Hate the damn things.
And one of the neighbours has really loud dogs who bark every morning between 7-7.30 to go out. They let them bark for at least 20mins/half an hour. They'll go out to them but won't tell them off. I want a lie in damn it!
Other than that they all seem ok :)

Our neighbours have a big dog that they leave out in the garden, that barks loudly and growls every time we go into our garden and continues until we go in again.
Instead of training the dog or bringing it in, they shout 'Shut up!!!' from inside their house. The Dog just carries on but they feel they are 'dealing with it'

Smoking in the garden. Do it in your own house but not in your garden so it comes into our garden for us to breathe in.

One neighbour had really grizzly kids who are out shouting at the top of their voices from 7am. Worse is them occasionally playing loud music very early and singing along. Try listening to them singing Nikki Minaj's Starships off key at 7am.

Smokey BBQ. Neighbour has a really smokey BBQ. However this is so bad we have to shut all the doors and windows and stay inside. So tempted to turn the hose on the bastard thing.

New neighbours who have a house with a Juliet Balcony. They previously ran a guest house for over 30 years so have plenty of visitors popping by to see them. And every single fucking one is treated to him opening the window and saying 'Juliet where for art though' then laughing as its the funniest most original cocking thing to say in the world.
I'm thinking of buying a catapult.

oh and the old guy has a house opposite but doesn't live there so every night he rocks up with his wife at 12am precisely, slams every single car door, goes inside with a bag of shopping ( I think he must be keeping someone hostage in the basement, why else would you need to take food shopping into an empty house??)

Then they sit in the front room by torchlight for about half an hour then slam every single car door, get back in the car and sit there with the engine running and the light on and read books for about 20 minutes.

Next door have their childs bed right up against their wardrobe door ( I have no idea how this works by the way, just what shes told me!) and every night at bedtime the daughter has tantrums and kicks the wardrobe door for about half an hour.

Their patio door only shuts if you slam it hard at least 5 times and they like to do this either first thing in the morning or late at night.

Saturday and sunday mornings she has her children all pile into the bedroom and they have random tantrums for around 3 hours from 6am onwards

her cats crap all over my garden

her kids pull all the flowers out of my flower beds

her one child runs out of the house every single time
when she sees me pull up and then quizzes me about where ive been what im doing next, what Ive got in my bag, what I need it for

her ex boyfriend comes over every night to see the kids and they argue for about 2 hours whilst hes there

my other neighbour doesn't have a driveway and has 2 cars so parks the one to the right of my drive and the other to the left but parks each front tyre right up against the very edge of my driveway when theres bags and bags of room behind either side. Means I have to do a ten point turn to swing out of my drive as there are other cars parked on the other side of the road.

Everytime I'm in my garden my neighbours kids shout at me from their top floor window asking what im doing, why im doing it, then when I go into the shed and they cant see me they call me repeatedly...

I'm not a particularly tolerant person as you can tell.
