Nightmare neighbours

Does anybody else fancy sharing their stories about their horrible neighbours to hopefully make me feel better about mine? 😂

We’ve lived in our home for just over a year now and it became very apparent very quickly that our neighbours just aren’t very nice. They’re a young couple, 22 years old I believe and have a 2 year old.

Since day one we’ve heard them at least once or twice a week arguing LOUDLY! Sometimes they have their windows open and if ours are open too you can hear every word they’re saying to one another. It’s mostly the girl, she swears, starts trashing the place and legitimately screeches.

We had to call the police a couple of months back because it was going on for hours and hours until almost 11pm and we’d just had enough of hearing it. Plus the child was screaming and it was breaking my heart to think he was being affected by their arguing.

Their kid cries all the time, at least twice a day for long periods. This doesn’t bother me so much, I know children cry, but I hear them shouting at him, telling him to ‘drink your milk and shut up’ I’m 99% sure they either leave him in his cot or high chair for most of the day. I’ve heard her call him an arsehole before and again, literally SCREECH at him, it’s awful. I’ve come across her tiktok account before (heard her mid argument say something about it) and he’s often in the background strapped in to his high chair in his pjs.

I can’t hang my washing outside or have my windows open sometimes because they smoke weed constantly. They even smoke it in the upstairs bedroom and because both windows are close, if our window is open it just fills our bedroom. Not a problem so much in winter but in summer it’s a nightmare.

We have allocated parking around the back for both of our houses and they’ve just dumped bin liners and 2 huge sofas around there for MONTHS now, it doesn’t take up our parking space but it’s such an eyesore and it’s quite clearly bin liners full of rubbish attracting god knows what in to the gardens.

Just today I am lying upstairs in bed because I’m super ill and my partner is out with our son so I’m home alone. I heard the door knock and thought it’s fine, they usually put deliveries inside the little porch by the front door. This particular delivery driver didn’t, the windows are open and I heard her knock on next doors door and ask if they mind taking a parcel for us. SHE. SAID. NO! 🤯

My mind was blown, we have taken several parcels for them before and even gone around to take them to them, I don’t get what other reason other than just plain horribleness would you ever say no?

They’ve done plenty more but this is getting very long 😂 I have tried saying hi when I’ve seen them on their front garden before and I literally get ignored, I have no idea what their problem is.

Anybody want to share? 😂

I'd be reporting to SS tbh.

Quicknamechangefortoday · 02/07/2022 15:22

Well for starters you need to be logging the boys crying, her shouting at him etc and ringing SS continuously. Children are being abused, neglected and sadly even killed in their own homes every week. This pair sound vile and neglectful.

L0ts · 02/07/2022 15:32

Well when we rang the police the once we definitely told them on the phone that the little boy had been crying for a long time and they’d been shouting at him to shut up.

I will be making notes from now on of things I hear them say to him, you are right. I have often wanted to call SS because I would never forgive myself if anything ever happened but my partner is very much a ‘I don’t want to cause any trouble’ kind of guy. He agrees it’s not right but if truth be told we’re worried about who they know and what they’re capable of. They’re incredibly rough and have some VERY rough looking characters turn up at their house.

But I will make notes from now on. It’s not all the time, I hear her talking to him nicely when she gets him out the car etc but who knows if that’s all for show.

I’ve currently got a nightmare neighbour who I’ve got a restraining order on and she’s physically assaulted me, all this has been ongoing for over a year. Council have done nothing as of yet.

CatSeany · 01/09/2022 02:35

They sound like neighbours who are neglecting a child. I'd be more worried about that tbh. Even reading what you've written breaks my heart. I wouldn't care if they thought I was interfering, I'd have reported this to social services a long time ago.

L0ts · 05/09/2022 08:07

@CatSeany Hi, a lot has happened since I wrote this post and I wanted to reassure you that I have indeed rang social services, probably over a month a go now. We also had to call the police a second time due to banging and arguing until 1am in the morning. The police also reassured us that as there is a child involved (and this has happened twice now) the case would also go to social services. In the last 1/2 weeks I barely hear the child cry as often, if at all, and haven’t heard them shout/argue once, I really am hoping they’ve had a kick up the backside and are being closely monitored.

In terms of their relationship with us, well, they hate us. They seem pretty adamant that the calls have come from us and just a couple of weeks a go the woman screamed in the back garden about how we were effing knobs and that she had to be quiet or ‘the effing neighbours will call the police again’ I saw her shout this as I was at the back window and she turned her entire body/head to face our house. She’s disturbed tbh, I genuinely think she needs help and I don’t regret at all the reporting that I’ve done.

@L0ts this sounds very like the neighbours we currently have. Police and SS involved & all was quiet for 2/3 months, then it all started again. X
