Neighbours...is it just me with the neighbour from hell

Just a thought and a bit of a rant about the worlds nost annoying neighbours.

We moved into our house 8 months ago and we went round and said hello to all the neighbours, warned them there may be a bit of noise as we get everything sorted, just a general how'd you do sort of thing.

The next door neighbour, a lady with a face like a slapped arse (not just me she gave "evils" to my mum for getting out of a car) just shut the door on our face. We thought it was very rude but decided to ignore her.

Our lanlord is fantastic and had previously warned us about her, said that he had to remove the side gate and board up the path, as she had a thing about trespassing on the property and having a nose round the garden and a good look through the conservatory windows.

Since then she has venbtured out the house most mornings after we've opened the curtains to see the state of the house, which isn't always in the best condition (hey im 8 months pregnant i need a break sometimes). We know this because she stands in her garden to bitch about us, so we can hear her.

A list of things she mentions:-

  1. "the bitch next door is lazy, she satys at home and that house is a tip rubbish everywhere" I must mention i clean up almost everyday as im a bit of a clean freak.
  2. "There were a group of hoodlums outside the house intimidating me", 3 of us were standing and looking at a good friends new car with our backs to her house.
  3. "they gave a child a gun, they're pikeys" We gave DP neices a nerf gun to play in the garden with.



Anyone else have neighbours like this?

When I live with my Mum and Dad, any stray balls that went over the neighbours fence used to get returned, after the neighbour has slashed them with a knife... nice.

It wouldn't be so bad but we never did anything to them. We used to send Christmas cards, and take them round on xmas day. My Dad paved their entire front garden for nothing, fixed his fence, for nothing, has been round their twice in the early hours of the morning because the Neighbour has had a fall and his wife cant get him up. Yet it continues even now.

The last one aimed at me was when my Mum and Dad were on holiday (4 days away, I was 16). I was allowed to stay there during the day on my own but not at night. Apparently I have a party that went on until 4 in the morning, people in the back garden shouting abuse at them, bottles and food being thrown at their back doors.. I was at my Nan's for the weekend. And the garden was immaculate, just the way it had been when my Mum and Dad left.

There are some strange people on this planet.

We had some awful neighbours when we lived in Scotland, who broke down our front door and threatened to kill us because we were fitting a new kitchen (in the middle of the day) and he objected to the noise.
There was also a gang of feral kids who were out all day from 7am until midnight in the park behind our house, 6-11 year olds mostly. When I was 41 weeks pregnant they pelted me with clots of earth and stones because DH told them to move out of our garden.

When we lived in Switzerland we lived in a huge development of flats, built at right angles to each other with big glassed in balconies. One of our neighbours liked to drink and then vomit over the side of their balcony.Once it went down the glass of the neighbour below and we had the pleasure of watching the neighbour wander out onto his balcony in the morning, discover the stain, investigate it with his finger, recoil in disgust, disappear, reappear with emphatic gestures accompanied by contrite upstairs neighbourGrin


Then there was the bizarre man who would cycle home from work during his lunch hour, change into full lycra cycling gear including helmet, climb onto his exercise bike on his balcony, pedal furiously for exactly 23 minutes, before changing and cycling back to work. You could set your clock by him everyday.

I was so sad when he moved

Jon002, are you Yoda, or do you always post like that? Confused, am I.
