to want to read of your neighbour(hood) from hell stories?

[YouaretooniceNOT]

I had a neighbour that played music all day, screamed that my baby was a blind, black bastard/monkey (he had mixed heritage children too!) and salshed my tyres on a regualr basis. He also tried to get into my car to beat me up once.

He was a drug dealer too.

We lived in the most expensive area and our neighbour was a plastic surgeon.

I went to court and gave evidence via videolink once i had fled the poperty. He was found not guilty as he was careful never to behave badly when i had visitors etc.

He died of stomach cancer about 6 years ago i heard.
(sorry if this thread has been done to death)

Can't do much. The flat under ours is used by the council for temp accommodation, so we get new neighbours in all the time. If they blast, I have to write to the council to get them moved on. But they just put someone else in.

Besides, plenty of the tenants do, too.

It's getting to the point where we're getting used to it and can sleep through anything.

It's a HA flat and we can't afford to move back into private and take the risk of being moved on again and again - it got us in a lot of debt.

expatinscotland - have you considered exchanging your property, or another HA? - bet you have - just incase though. What about environmental health - sound recording equipment?

Played the race card to avoid getting arrested? I think you have got a bit confused there....

Our neighbour came around and yelled in my mum's face to tidy up the garden or he'd call the council as she was such a lazy bitch and lowering the 'nice' neighbourhood. My dad was dying of cancer upstairs.

Yes pretty shocking isnt it. oh and I forgot the nieghbour who kicked the baby out of her, also kidnapped her sister to try and blackmail them into dropping charges.

They didnt, but police did nothing anyway.
It seems if you live in certain areas, the police dont have to do thier job

Gin, I was also a shitty neighbour as a student.

Anyone remember the TV show 'Don't Forget Your Toothbrush'? There was a game on it that involved throwing specific objects from the upstairs windows of a house. We used to play that on occasion. It started out fairly harmlessly with just a few itmes of clothes, cutlery, tolietries and the like getting turfed onto the street but it escalated and the neighbours called the police when they had to remove my housemate's mattress from the car so they could get in it...

Then there was the burglar alarm of which I never mastered the correct use. I spent the summer in the house by myself as housemates had gone home to parents and I was working nearby so stayed and made the most of having the place to myself. I would come home shitfaced and pass out without disarming the alarm so it would go off all night. More than once I woke up to find police in my bedroom, having broken down the door to turn the alarm off/wake me to get me to turn it off.

I was also prone to locking myself out; generally when I'd been out drinking. In the days before mobile phones, I'd have to wait on the doorstep for one of my housemates to come home to let me in. To pass the time, I would sing to myself, apparently at maximum volume. i would add that I couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. A few times, the Police turned up and warned me to shut the fuck up politely critiqued my vocal technique .

Then there was the time that the police caught me painting a phone box at 2am in my PJs...

My neighbours must have had the Police on speed dial.

If you were those neighbours, I apologise unreservedly for my appalling behaviour. I am an exemplary neighbour these days. I also apologise for being a drain on local policing resources.

Eric

ha ha yes very funny, you have a point.
But what they said was.....we are jamaican and the neighbours dont understand "our culture".
very effective defence. the police didnt dare even search the house

nulliusxinxverbax - there is more? OMG!!!

MissBetsyTrotwood - did the piece of shit neighbour apologise to your Mother?

WhatTheActualFuck - LOL!

Neighbour from hell peeps here ^^ get the rotten fruit and veg ..ready, set fire !

You'retonice- Definately would have been brilliantly entertaining had it not been 2am or so when it kicked off and about 6.30am when mad shrieky bint finally buggered off inside.

Always wondered why mad neighbour burned the cannabis on the bonfire (assuming that's true- heard it from an ex neighbour) when surely it would have been far less risky (and probably more fun depending on the quality) to smoke it the old fashioned way.... And burning tyres smell foul. As does melting plastic.

My mum's neighbour and his now ex used to have rampant sex at 5am nearly every morning while their bed banged against the shared wall and they puffed and panted and screamed away, which incidently my mum's bed also leaned against said wall.

I didn't believe they could be that loud till I stayed over one night and my mum let me and DD have her double bed while she slept in the spare room. 5am comes around and DD and I are woken up by alarming banging noises (DD's eyes are like saucers and she looks terrified) and then the panting starts. And the "I'm coming!" over and over again. In the end I got pissed off (DD is now a whimpering wreck beside me- she thinks someone scary is coming to get her) and banged on the wall bellowing "I know you're bloody coming! So does the whole bloody street! So stop talking about it and get on with it already!" The guy next door still can't/wont look my mum in the eye. He must have thought it was her shouting. Still they did quieten down a bit. Infact they split up a couple of months later....

No. Not ever. He knew what was going on too.

I've had my share of bonkers/drug peddling/party animal neighbours 'from hell' but I this particular twat has rattled my cage more than any of them. I'm still plotting my revenge.

saffy85 - mad shrieking bint - that is now my nutty neighbours name - whom laughs out loud, at the top of her voice, all day in the garden, in summertime, from 10am to 10pm. I haven't been able to sit, in the sun, on my new patio, since she moved in - 2005.

The whole neighbourhood might have been stoned from the bonfire fumes!

Your DD - aww poor baby.

I live in terraced house and i can hear my neighbours bed springs - Feel a bit sick hearing it too.

Wonder why 5am? They do like a routine haha

MissBetsyTrotwood - He knew . He has his own problems and even more when you get him back - make sure it's a good revenge!

saffy That is hilarious!

DP and I recently (Feb) moved into our first flat together :) We live at the top of a block with one neighbour opposite. DP is German and his Greek friend helped him move our stuff from across the street (we all live together in a cul-de-sac). They come back to Greek friend's house and tell me & DW of Greek friend that new neighbour might be a bit xenophobic or homophobic as she clearly didn't like them and thought they were moving in together.

Second time they meet her DP mentions he's moving in with me. Suddenly she cries, "Oh, I know you! You used to live over there [points to house in other street] with him and his girlfriend. Then you went away for three years, then you lived with them in that house [points to current house] for a year. You used to go running every day that way and now you go running over this way but you haven't been running recently."

The first time I meet her the first words to me are, "Are those your shoes?!" Followed by a shed load of abuse about how dare I leave my shoes outside the flat, as per request from our landlords. Until the landlords (friends of friends) told us they thought she was a nutjob I was worried she would try to evict us. There have been lots of jokes about her fancying DP (he's much older than me - 40, so much closer to her in age) but he was freaked and now pissed off at the way she spoke to me. She hasn't spoken to me since although she will speak to him. Apparently she hates women and, when landlords lived here, used to knock on the flat at all hours just to speak to male LL. Eventually his DP shut the door in her face. She leaves for an 8am shift, ten minutes away, at 6am every morning. She always wraps up in sunglasses and big coats and never opens her curtains, apart from a crack you know she is looking through. Ever.

Needless to say the first thing I made DP do was install a new chain on the door.

RoseC - crackpot eh?

IGNORE IGNORE IGNORE

EVENTUALLT she WILL get the message. It will take time.

toon She's totally bonkers... I forgot to add that the conversation with me took place at 1630 on a Sunday afternoon whilst she was in her dressing gown, towel around her head and with slippers on She works at a hospital (receptionist) so you'd have thought someone would have noticed her zany behaviour (and done something) before now.

To be fair she might have other responsibilities aside from being a receptionist at the hospital that requires her to arrive 2 hours early. She might have volunteered for it. Your neighbour might be loony as she is very lonley. I am heading that way soon if i don't watch out!

Where's me towel lol

:) She might be - she has a sad backstory that the LLs told us after we told them our experiences with her - but they said that, despite them helping her move in and trying to include her, she went really freaky on them to the point of accosting them in the stairwell about one pair of shoes as they were late leaving for a formal dinner (so obviously in a hurry). Female LL says she ended up throwing the shoes at the wall and telling our neighbour to shut up and shove off because she wouldn't let them leave.

Unless her circs have changed since the LLs lived here (which they may have done) she leaves at 6am to 'get a parking space'. It would actually be faster to walk It's not the rudeness I have a problem with but I am worried that she keeps a close eye on my DP. Maybe she's just really nosey and jealous that we have a full 360 degree view of the surrounding streets (our flat is on the edge of the building & bits stick out)? She's not the Neighbour from Hell that others describe but I certainly don't waste any time putting my shoes on if I'm out there solo!

'expatinscotland - have you considered exchanging your property, or another HA? - bet you have - just incase though. What about environmental health - sound recording equipment?'

There's only one HA in this entire, huge geographical area, and no one wants a flat. So it's not an option. No environmental health here, it's a rural area, not a city, there's only the police, who don't do anything.

C'est la vie.

expatinscotland - time to call your eastern European friend back!!! That is a scary story. Proves you can run but cannot hide from those kind of people. He was so stupid to get involved in the first place that guy, never mind cross him!

I lived in a flat where on the day i moved in (38 wks pregnant) I was offered every street drug going from the neighbour, i politely declined.
Him and his partner would shag for HOURS really LOUDLY, enough to wake us and the baby.

Had a man armed with a huge knife burst through the door and stomp around the flat (wrong flat)

we constantly had people buzzing our buzzer for 'paracetamol' recurring drugs busts, the noise all night from the parties would make pictures fall off the walls,
our double buggies were stolen TWICE while i was carrying the babies upstairs, and had loads of shit, piss, vomit, needles,bodies etc in the stairwell and frequent fires, one in the stairwell (only exit for 6 flats)

The best way we dealt with the noise was to play opera and classical really loud as soon as their music stopped. three days and then they found the volume dial.

a look out the window would mean i was a witness to muggings, stabbings, poor scruffy babies toddling in street in shitty nappies.

don''t wish to 'out' myself but this was in a very small city in WM considered 'affluent'

Am glad to say we now live in a calmer, quiet place, but am currently homeless so may well soon end up back there (lived in that street twice in 10 years-fled after 3 days the second time after getting throttled in front of the kids because the bloke thought i had nicked his phone)Its also where the council puts homeless families, thats why we were there twice

missbusiness can you not refuse to go anywghere you won't feel secure? Hostel?
