Neighbors habits that annoy you.

[wtfdidijustwatch]

When people pull up outside your house early in the morning (to give a neighbour a lift) and they have the engine noisily 'idling' for 10 minutes or more instead of being considerate and turning the engine off while they wait.
Every sodding morning. Don't need to set an alarm.

It's not as if it's the middle of winter and the car needs warming up. It's not an old car either.

On the right they've been having building work done for months, but only after seven pm until about half nine pm, which I know is illegal but I'm too wimpy to say anything as they're really nice. Then on the other side there's Mr and Mrs Shouty, who shout at each other all day long, and like to cast out Satan at 2am. I don't think even Satan himself could stand being in that house for more than five minutes. Gordon Bennett!

The humans next door are alright but their cats are annoying bastards. They have 4 of them who are totally fearless, they spend all day sitting in our drive and don't move when we try to get on it, resulting in a Western style stand off to see who moves first.

at the moment

neighbour has ten vehicles parked on and around our shared drive- we've not been able to park our car in the garage for five years....

The same kids throw their junk in my garden every single poxy day. Half eaten carrot today confused But it can be anything from broken bits of plastic toys, to fruit shoot bottles, wrappers, food, paper and anything else which takes their bloody fancy.

LOL this reminds me of a neighbour my mum had when I was about 14. For some reason she started throwing half eaten apples into my mums yard, but denying it when questioned. My mum actually SAW her doing it one day so knows it was her. This went on for about 2 weeks...everyday a half eaten apple. By which time I decided to take matters into my own hands, being a bit of a twatty teenager I picked up said half eaten apple and launched it at her house. Not at the windows, at the wall. hard enough to mush said apple into her wall and high enough to be a pain to get off. Neighbor went a bit mad at my mum, who responded by asking where all of the apples were coming from, neighbour went a bit sheepish at this point and shuffled off back inside...my mother grounded me for 2 days. We had no more half eaten apples appearing after that day though.

I cannot understand it to this day, it was so fucking random and weird.

Our neighbours son is a facebook blogger! Some days non stop even in the early hours, really winey voice and thinks they are absolutely fabulous. Can hear it all, so don't bother to read his posts, already got them 1st hand!

Our immediate neighbours are great but the ones opposite are a nightmare. She's from another country , her mum lives there as well . He drives his car too fast ie tyre marks over pavements and roads where he's whee spun up the road.
Hate anyone parking in front of their house but will happily park in front or even over your drive oh and he peers in through our windows as he walks past. Pretty sure he's got a 'thing' with a neighbour as well lol .

I am unfortunate to live in between 2 neighbours who have young children - we all have 'open plan' lawns and the youngsters play on everyones lawns. I dont have a problem with that - what I do have a problem is that they leave all their toys, bikes, scooters and even shoes on MY LAWN. If it was just until the end of the day and then moved away I wouldn't mind that either - but I do object to having all these things there for days on end.

The other poor soul of a neighbour in the middle with me has to clamber over all these belongings as if they are not on my lawn - they are blocking the path to his front door.
If they only picked everything up at the end of a days play - it would be fine, but they dont even try.

Our neighbours throw bread for the birds but end up attracting rats. My blood ran cold when I saw one running across our wall. A couple of days later the neighbours knocked to suggest we get the pest control out to our loft as theirs had rats (!) and we're terraced. They told us the pest control man had told them to stop throwing bread slices on their extension flat roof.

Guess what I found my toddler munching on down the side of her play house yesterday? A dry slice of bread! Brilliant That got wanged back over the fence before I remembered that is their patio bit not the grass bit

Rests her teacup on our front wall every time her dog stops for a poo under the tree outside our house. Every. Single. Time. Who takes a cup of tea with them on a dog walk?

I live in an end terrace, the gardens are close together and fairly small.
They have the biggest trampoline I have ever seen. Their daughter bounces on it for several hours a day whatever the weather. It squeaks
Their small son whinges more than any other child I have ever heard in my entire life, I actually feel sorry for his parents. I have not sat in my garden all summer

Letting their son kick a football at our fence for hours. Letting their kids scream and scream outside. Kids make noise obviously, but we ensure ours are considerate of others or they come inside.

My neighbours are mostly lovely, always home and happy to take in deliveries but I often get scolded if I leave (an upstairs) window open when I pop to the local tesco, about a five minute walk away!

Am I the only one nervously reading this thread, hoping my neighbours aren't describing my family?!

We recently bought our end terrace from an older couple, so our large and noisy family is a huge change to the atmosphere for the neighbours, I'm sure. They seem friendly enough, and when I've apologised for the noise they were very gracious and said it wasn't a bother at all. Fingers crossed they continue to be so patient, whilst I try (in vain) to keep a lid on the noise.

As I read this, I can hear my kids yelling and playing football in the street but seeing as just about every other kid in the street is with them then I don’t think anyone can complain about the noise. My Polish next door neighbour did come out once and yelled at the kids but seeing as he seem to burn half a rainforest worth of wood and has loud drunken conversations late at night in his garden then I’m not particularly stressed.

They cut exactly their half of the small patch of grass between our driveways for the fortnight when they knew our mower was in for repairs, when up to that point (and ever since) we'd taken it in turns. The day I got our mower back I went out and cut the whole bit including their half and they both came running out to apologise about 'the grass'. I just looked blankly at them as if I had no idea what they meant so they had to elaborate and try to explain why they'd been massive arseholes about it . Also, they're frightened of their own idiotic but seemingly harmless dog, and he keeps it on the lead when he takes it in the garden. They're weird Howard and Hilda types, but harmless enough.

One of my neighbours goes round my estate at 11pm begging for money and does not take no for an answer. She even offers to walk with me to the cash machine and once offered to set up internet banking on her laptop for me . I declined her offer but it does worry me that someone more vulnerable than me could get taken advantage of . Now the older neighbours assume all the younger ones are scum because of her actions.

The man next door insists on speaking to us in French. We are not French, he is not French and we don't live in France

Why? Maybe he's had a bang on the head. I saw a documentary where people sometimes start speaking a foreign language or accent. Or maybe he's just plain odd.

I've seen one post that could apply to us

Sitting in diesel car with engine running for 10 mins every week day at 6am.

Ann Gables, we must live in the same street.

I think I might be on here, too However, my whole street is like a lost tribe of Brian Blessed 's love children. I'm sure we're audible from space as we clump about roaring at each other and trying desperately hard to be quiet and considerate

Upstairs is a noisy b*stard. Just because he's a night journalist he thinks his TV/music should be on full whack all night like he is.

Downstairs is a family of five with another on the way in a two bed flat. Too noisy.

Neighbours littering our estate not giving two fucks, and putting non-recyclable stuff in the Recycle bin.

We plan to move soon .

Only got one neighbour. They are good.

Only minor thing is he fires up his petrol mower just as I'm relaxing outside. Not every day.

The main issue/puzzle is why he takes so long to mow a small garden?

I lived in a cottage in a v posh area and one of the neighbours that lived in a massive house would be using chainsaws every day from 8 am all day, every day. NEEEEAAAAWWWWWW NEEEEEEEAAAAAWWWWW. So we had a beautiful house, with beautiful view, but that to contend with all day every day. And then one their kids would have parties when their parents were away that went on to about 4am- they obviously had a very good sound system as it was very loud but also surprisingly clear. I now live on a council estate. It is much quieter and the neighbours are lovely.
