A thread to moan about neighbours who don't merit a whole thread to themselves

[Clymene]

Here's my moan. Bin day is Thursday and it alternates between recycling and rubbish. Yesterday was recycling. In our recycling bins, we can put cans, glass, cartons, plastic trays and bottles. We cannot put in paper/card (separate container for that) or polystyrene.

My neighbours put their bin out and I could see some polystyrene sticking out the top and the bin men didn't take it. Any normal person would surely find out why their bin hadn't been taken and sort out the stuff that shouldn't have been in there, surely (well most people who have lived in the same area for as long as they have already know what the rules are but anyway). Not these people. What they did was pile even more stuff on top of the already full bin so now the lid doesn't shut and push it right out onto the pavement.

Tomorrow we are forecast 45mph winds and we live at the top of a hill.
I can predict exactly what is going to happen to the contents of their bin.

Why do you hate your neighbours today?

My parents have neighbour who is obsessed with his leaf blower. It's really noisy and goes on for hours. Often daily. I feel like the leaves will never end.

I'm lucky in my neighbours are generally lovely. Except one fella in his 40s who lives at home and has a very very lour racing type car. It's a terrace so reverberates around the street when he starts the engine. He also leaves the engine on for 5 mins before driving off. Twat.

I can see the bin store for the block of flats at the end of our road. Every few weeks, some cunt will just leave their rubbish bag outside the bin store because they are too fucking lazy to open the door and throw it in. After the first few times when foxes ripped open the bags and spread rubbish all over the road, I now go and pick up the bag and launch it into their porch. They are slowly learning not to leave their bags out.

Amazing work!!

@Bearplumapple - stick a potato up the man's exhaust pipe. He won't be able to start his car and he'll never work out what's wrong with it.

3 separate neighbours put their bins out by lunchtime some weeks there is 6 big bins up the street that you need to negotiate to get in the house it passes me right off ! Put your bin out at after dinner like a normal person

Oh I have loads of these! Off the top of my head the neighbour opposite me has had 2 fridges sitting on her drive for a year and is now starting to pile rubbish on top . Everyone is starting to pave over their drives so it's becoming a concrete jungle (I love green front gardens!) - although I also get annoyed by the amount of cars. 1 house has 6 cars for gods sake.

My neighbour has two young children and they run up and down the house screaming and shouting all day fucking long, they sound like zoo animals

Mine - in a street of otherwise neat terraced houses - have grown trees in their small front garden, such that if you stand across the street, you cannot see their house at all. Er.....why ?

We have an estate with cul-de-sacs off the main road. It's just wide enough for two cars to pass if you do 2 miles an hour and hold your breath!

Our neighbours converted their garage so they have only one parking space on their drive. They have three cars already. If they have visitors (and they did all through lockdown 😡) they let them park in their drive, and they park opposite our drive. It doesn't block us, but it does make it really awkward to get out.

Not worth mentioning, it's not daily, but it is ALWAYS when I have an early start.
Oh, and they're REALLY nosey; they question every workman we have in to find out what we are doing.

My neighbours won't cut their side of our boundary hedge (it's definitely there responsibility council landlord insist it is) and won't let me my half is perfectly done which makes there's look worse but do they care ofcourse not.

Our neighbours have off road parking for two vehicles but between the four of them they have 6 cars, 3 work vans and a camper van.

Neighbour opposite never opens any curtains or blinds, for the last year they have been shut, there is 5 living there two adults, two teens and a child. Seem so normal to talk to but never open them! Again not sure why it bothers me to much!

Between us and next door is the driveway to the garages for our row of 8 houses (our bedrooms join over the top). Every weekend one of them will park his car in the driveway so no one else can access the garages without asking them to move. It really really fucks me off! Especially as he drives past his actual parking spot to park there! Can feel myself getting wound up just thinking about it 😂

@oblio so do mine! Really annoying!

I might sharpie a smiley face on it.

Mine lets their kid kick our bedroom wall at 6am, then plays Heart FM all day to drown out his shouting.

He barbecues.

Every single bloody night from around March to late October. Sits out in the garden all day and late into the night playing music, getting pissed, giving his opinion on everything peppered with swear words and straight from the editorial content of the Sun and as he gets drunker he sings along more and more - currently he's murdering Sweet Caroline, another can or so and he'll be on to the Bee Gees.

Oh yeah and he installed a dart board at the bottom of his garden on the fence and plays darts out there. Topless. It's not a pleasant sight.

Oh this is all very cathartic

And we're onto the Proclaimers "I would walk 500 miles" - in a really shite attempt at a Scottish accent.

The apartment upstairs has been empty since we moved in six months ago. Someone moved in a week ago, and their (presumeably) small child sounds like a herd of elephants stomping around.

Mine listen to crap music when they are doing home workouts. Thankfully we can’t hear the lyric which our other neighbour assures me are awful.

Ooh yes my next door neighbours front door is very close to ours and they put their bins right outside so when I walk outside my front door their bins are right next to me.

My neighbour has an upstairs bedroom light on 24/7 365. It's never off. The curtains are never drawn either so all night it shines down onto our house. I'm so confused as to why it's always on, even in day time??

Urgh, a dog that lives outside and whines and a bonfire every. Single. Fucking. Day. How much shit can one family have to burn. They are our one and only neighbour and could be more annoying... I guess.

And my neighbours are quite new. We've got a lovely quiet street, all very considerate

Now we have their music blasting in the garden and their kids playing fucking kerby. And skateboards.

Noises like nails down a blackboard

Mine have broken up furniture piled next to their shed in the communal garden.

Mine we’re doing some DIY today that sounded like they were trying to demolish our shared wall. I know they need to do DIY sometime and in the middle of the day is t unreasonable but I am WFH and was in the middle of a redundancy meeting via teams when they started
