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.

Gah
I need a house in the middle of nowhere pronto
In no particular order
Bonfires on the hottest and nicest of days so you have to bring the washing in/close the windows orrrrr just after it has rained meaning it's terribly smoky
Dogs barking
Kids (approx 8&10) thundering up and down their living room/stairs at 10:30 at night, annoying their dog so it barks.
Chopping OUR hedge which is located our side of their fence
Cutting the communal hedge at the front of the house two weeks after we have done ours, cutting it a foot lower and not taking any of the parts that couldn't be reached by us (on their side) leaving a lopsided hedge with a Mohican
Aviarys alllll the way down their 150ft garden, all I can hear is budgies chirping, and their extractor fans and a bloody radio blaring out from 6:30am till 10 at night in the aviarys 😳 (Cos we all know budgies live radio 1)
Being wankers when we were having our ex pension built, parking his car in the middle of our parking spots (enough parking for two cars but parking in the middle to take up both spaces) so that the builder had to park over the road with building supplies
Basically they're tossers.

Old bag the other side blanked me for ten years and now suddenly is nice as pie and even stops to talk to me in the street 😳

Oh don't get me started. We have mostly lovely neighbours but we suddenly seem to be surrounded by smokers that fill my toddlers room and the house with smoke. With various medical issues going on in our house and a twin pregnancy my hormones are encouraging me to go and knock on some doors for what use it would be.

We've also got neighbours son dropping off kids at the crack of dawn under same toddlers window making an unnecessary amount of noise every morning waking him up.

Then you've got trampolines popping up everywhere with teenagers peering in your windows and at you when you get that rare moment to sit in your garden. That's when they aren't blasting music out for the next town to enjoy!

If I get started about cats and poo. I may go into early labour.

I'm blaming my lack of tolerance on the hormones and absence of wine!

Setting the fire alarm off about once a week. My OH used to annoy him back by playing music as loud as he can when he goes past. He stopped doing it when our neighbour got a job and we are quiet and good now.

My neighbours are nice but the husband is constantly busy outside. Always doing something noisy like drilling so I can't just leave the baby napping outside in pram or simply relax in peace and quiet.

They also park their four cars on their narrow long drive so every morning they do this elaborate car dance to get a car out - it also involves moving wheelie bins which makes me panic "is it bin day?!"

I've had far worse neighbors though. Last ones put me off leaving the house.

I am so glad this thread is here tonight.
Garden next door was sold off to non locals who decided to put a huge wanking great caravan on it, overlooking my garden. Then they decided to start building their own house. For 4 months we have had building work going on 6 sometimes 7 days a week with radio blaring. Just today I sat in the garden to read my book but gave up due to constant banging, hammering, knocking etc.
Now youngest DD has been working every single day of the holidays with 2 jobs, some days from 9am until 10pm. Tonight was her first night off. She has a friend in the garden with her and they are listening to music - not particularly loud, and bearing in mind we live opposite a pub and hotel. Cheeky fucker next door has just told them to turn the music down, half 10 at night. Meanwhile tractors are pouring past getting the hay in and will be until the early hours, the pub will have people leaving until about half 11, we live on a main cocking road between 2 seaside resorts ffs.
Gloves off now, when Im up at 4ish in the morning, the seagulls will be feasting upon bread on their pikey caravan roof. Looks like I may have an impromptu party planned at the weekend.

Oh dear, I might BE one of those annoying neighbours today. DS was yelled at, at least 4 times today....all before lunch. Then maybe another couple of times before bed. My patience was VERY thin today. Back to school on Thursday so it's been a long summer.
Then I lit my BBQ at 6.45 tonight when the neighbours still had washing out.....but in my defense I had 3 loads out today, all dry in an hour and even though Mr NDN has been at home all afternoon, the washing only appeared between when I went out at 4.30 and returned at 6.45.
We also park a car outside the house to stop other neighbours with work vans parking in front of our living room window, even though we have a two car drive with only one on it.

My other neighbour is the pain in the butt who revs his work van at god awful times in the morning. Worse in winter when it takes longer to warm up the piece of shit works van with dodgy squealing timing belt. Not just once though. Approx 6.30 to go to shop (5 minute walk) then again at 7.30 to leave for work

Mine are now ok. I've had some really bad ones before. The drug dealers were nice guys but the drug dealing was very noisy and well, drug dealing so I helped get rid of them by telling our landlord about it. 2 of the guys were nice - I think just They had poor choice of the 3rd housemate but it was the Gf's I hated. Messy (litter all over car park) running around, yelling and loud orgasms.
I had one yelling, creepy strange neighbour who didn't look after her kids very well before.
Now I have arsehole man who just does the little things I hate. I am sure I annoy him too. My kids don't go to bed very early in the summer hols although I am always hissing at them to use Indoor Voices mine at at the top of their lungs age. If it annoys me then it must drive my neighbours mad. He leaves the bins across my parking space EVERY SINGLE WEEK. The parking space he demanded I take (next to bins) as he's a prick. I didn't want to argue over it

My actual neighbours in my building are lovely but up the road there is a section of housing association houses and they let their kids play out on the road all the time. They are really noisy and keep looking in my windows.!
They also play football across the street so anyone driving round the corner has to suddenly stop dead while they finish their game!

I hate the local pub more. People's children screaming (why screaming??? Why are they screaming?) in the garden till 11pm is more annoying than anything else. It's a village so totally silent apart from the children from the Shining screaming and screaming. I think it's a kind of playing that pub kids feel obliged to do

Slamming the door. Every. Single. Time.

Every.

I have neighbours to the right who smoke cigarettes and weed in the garden which is pretty crap when outside with DS or wanting to leave downstairs windows/backdoor open. Directly behind the house, we have a fucking cockerel that starts up between 4-5am every fucking day
It's also mostly on the road parking where I am and most of my neighbours are absolute knobs at parking so leave huge gaps meaning less space and for those, like me, who work nights, have to park in another sodding street! I can't wait to move (in 2 years time when the contract is up)!

We have screamers too, children not adults thankfully. Yesterday we went to a little park five minutes drive away and there were lots of children of all ages, chatting on the swings, playing in the sand, football games, tag, but no roaring, bellowing or screeching at all. Lovely, but made me wonder why the children in my street are so loud. It isn't just one family either

We have had trouble with our downstairs neighbours in the past but they are ok now, it is more their friends. Some of their friends park in our parking spot which annoys me more than it probably should one of their friends nearly reversed into my car (they did actually clip my toe bar) and one of their friends stands outside and smokes weed, which comes in through our windows with them being open due to the weather.

Have not been home in 24 days so hoping my neighbours have not fallen out with our house sitter.

My old neighbours were amazing- put my bins out, cut my grass, de-weeded my patio, would drag me out of bed to go running, would bring wine around, took washing in when it rained (and often ironed it) took parcels in, waited in for repair men for me. My new neighbours (old neighbours moved) annoy me because they are not as amazing! They have never cut my grass! Even though I did theirs in the 2 months they spent renovating before moving in!

Aaarrrgghhhhh!!! This morning, another thing that I am going to call a "habit" because it's been going on for weeks now:
Next door (inconsiderate smokey BBQ side), have a smoke alarm that seems to go off at the slightest shift in the air. It went off at 6am today I hear them moaning about their broken smoke alarm every time it goes off, and yet they haven't reported it! We live in military housing for gods sake!!! Ring up, report it, get fixed within a week....FOR FREE. Just fucking report it!!!!!

Not too bad, but on one side we have a privet hedge which is about 2.5m tall and 20m long - the full length of the house and gardens. It takes a full day to cut and bag the bits, with stepladder and electric clippers.
Not long after we moved in we mentioned it to the neighbours (the hedge is technically all on their property) and they kind of laughed and said "well the people there before you were a pain, so the hedge was useful to block them out".
We've lived here 12 years now, mentioned it a few times and they say the same thing. If it was 1.8m it would be so much easier.
Also, they only cut it once a year, and we can't cut the whole top from our side anyway, so it ends up looking half cut, a total mess and still towering over us.

Not the neighbour per se but her fecking tree!!! It's overhanging our garden & whenever its windy the seed pods blow off everywhere, when we have windows open (as we do now) they're all in the house!!! Grrrr

Uggh our neighbours as soon as they moved in the kids were kicking a football against and over the fence, climbing over fence to get ball when they thought we weren't there. Within weeks the fence was full of holes so I reported them to landlord . I don't feel guilty. They had to get fence replaced.
Now the thing that is annoying me is how they pile junk up and never get rid. Their side of the drive has drawers, metal loo roll stand then a fridge freezer that's been there months, yesterday something else was dumped on the front lawn washing machine sized. Thing is we are housing association and we have to keep our side tidy they private rent.

I know if my neighbour's were MN inclined they'd be writing on this thread about me lobbing DS's dirty nappies (in a nappy bag) out of his bedroom window into our back garden. I only do it because the wheelie bin is under his window and I forget to bring it down otherwise so it sits upstairs in the warm all day. They must hate it when they're washing up and suddenly see a nappy flying through the air

Ours are mostly ok. apart from -

-the really loud talking at their back door (I don't need to hear her telling her daughter off. In detail)
-the Kertcher (how many times do you need to wash your blooming patio)
-cutting their side and top of the hedge and throwing the cuttings onto our lawn. Without cutting our side!
-their chickens and ducks escaping into our garden
-their son playing the drums (badly). In his room. With the window open.
-(other neighbour) swearing at the football, cricket and any other flipping sports event on his patio
-shouting at my husband for having a bonfire at the weekend, then complaining again when he did it during the week (as she requested)

Grr!

Ours have two massive that bark at us whenever we go in our garden. They can see us through a badly cut hedge. One of the dogs constantly invites himself into my garden through a gap in the bottom of the hedge. Their cats and trespassing dog shit in my garden. Neighbours know this and have made no attempt to block the gap from their side. We have and the dog keeps destroying it.
We cut the top of the hedges but they never do any gardening we can't reach over to tidy their side so despite our best efforts it always looks a disgrace.
Their massive tree towering over our garden plunging our garden into darkness from 5-7pm every day while theirs is full of sun

Two massive dogs*

Neighbour had a big work truck that leaves and arrives at all hours of the day or night. With really loud reversing beeps.

Currently playing shit, breathy R&B type warblings. I intend on counteracting with some Slayer as soon as the baby wakes up.

We also have 'rich' neighbours (big houses, big gardens), who have pool parties and 'once in a life time' parties in marquees. Every year. With external sound systems going until 3am. And bouncers. They also have 'sheds' at the bottom of their gardens where their kids can make noise. It doesn't disturb them, but we can every bloody word, music, swearing, pot smoking etc. They also have fireworks all year round, frightening all the small children, cats, dogs, ducks, chickens etc.

Enjoying this thread.

The side we are attached to slam their front door every time they use it, he has an electric saw in the shed that he likes to use. A lot.
Other side ( not attached ) have regular get togethers with some mates with loud music, she dances around in front of them all, woo hooing. A lot.
