Things your neighbours do that annoy you

[Moominfan]

Such as playing happy hardcore in their garden at 10 in the morning.

Cracking sunflower seeds and smoking on the doorstep.

Spitting out the seed shells on the doorstep and using my bin as an ashtray.

Grow 8x 3m+ leylandi on the boundry. Leave their dog outside unattended. Poor thing is clearly insecure and feels threatened as he sets off yapping and growling if we even set foot outside. Even though im expecting it, I still jump out of my skin every time. Mr NDN mutter insults about us in the garden ("stupid people" etc), especially in the evening, when I suspect he may have had more than a couple of vinos. Often creepily stands and watches us in the garden (and our kids, and their friends) from an upstairs window. He's batshit though, and we take most of it with a pinch of salt. It's lovely when they go away (hardly ever do though!)

Fairly certain ours are cannabis growing vampires. Get the occasional whiff through the walls and have never seen them, curtains are drawn 24/7 but bins are put out every week!

Playing his piano at night just as I'm about to fall asleep, every time. He's lovely though so I can't get too cross.
Neighbour acoss won't speak to us at all, never has & probably never will. She's a young lass who thinks she's above us, fine by us.

My neighbours on both sides wanting a full on social chit chat every time I step in my kitchen, front garden or back garden. I'm quite quiet and private and it makes me feel very anxious and trapped in my own home.

I used to have neighbours that would loudly chat about putting petrol through my letter box though so I can mostly deal with my current bored, retired, need a hobby neighbours.

We live in a row of terraced houses with another row just behind us and yet I'm sitting out in my garden now and there's complete silence. I love living here. The only thing I can possibly complain about it the family next door have a bbq every time the sun comes out for 5 fucking minutes, so if I hang out washing it ends up smelling like smoke. And they like fixing up cars in the alley behind our house which is noisey/annoying. But they do take in parcels for us so I can forgive these minor annoyances.

My next door neighbour is loud, screams at the two men living with her and her six cats.

She also plays loud music all day and I can hear her being encouraged to turn it up by the men she lives with.

DIY at 10pm too.

Other two neighbours are lovely though.

We moved in an end townhouse 18 months ago. The previous owners had a holiday home so were away quite a bit. The 2 middle neighbours have got used to using our garden as a communal garden dragging gardening equipment and bags of rubbish so they don't have to go through their house.

They made a point in telling me fences were not allowed due to lease rules even though most of the other houses have them.

I wouldn't mind if they knocked to ask but when I first moved in I was wandering about in my knickers and the old bloke walked past my patio doors with his rubbish. Scared the shit out of me

They are pleasant enough but a fence is going up, I need a boundary. We cannot even get a little frisky on the sofa without worrying who is walking past!!

Lovely lovely neighbours both sides couldn't wish for nicer people , both sides are single men , professional , quiet, but unfortunately one has just gone on the market we are just hoping it doesn't get bought by a noisy person

Sticking their head over the fence and making conversation every time we are both in the garden. I wish we’d just put a higher fence up when we moved in but we’ve been here too long and it would look really rude. I wouldn’t care but DH does.
They are friendly and mean well but sometimes I just want to sit in my garden with the children without making small talk.

Replaced their 6' fence with a 5' one, were then astonished that it reduced privacy and proceeded to tut and huff every time I stepped out into my own garden. Came to a head for me when one of their friends started bellowing hymns at me over the fence

We've now invested in sturdy planters with 6' trellis attached. It's bliss.

We don’t have any neighbours but we do have someone down the road who insists on wheeling her wheelie bin inside at 6am on a Saturday mornings. Down her stony road - that’s nice. Surely it could wait??!! Empty wheelie bins are so bloody loud!

Have those awful cat scarers that emit a high pitched noise to keep the cats out of their garden. Unfortunately myself and my daughter can hear it and it hurts a lot. Despite many requests to move or adjust it so that it doesn't go off everytime one of us goes out of the door, they haven't

Park in front of my house. There's free-for-all unallocated parking, and they like to leave a Ka's worth of space outside mine, so when I park my decidedly-not-a-Ka I'm encroaching on my other neighbour's space. Or I'm parked on the otherside of the road trying to usher dogs and children safely to the front door.

Not that I can say anything about it without becoming a CF.

Also their dog has taken to barking whenever mine go into the back garden, but that's a dog thing, I can't really be too irritated by that.

Oh and they run their washing machines/tumble dryers constantly, right up against the shared wall.

Nothing. I used to live next door to a lovely but very overbearing couple and it was a factor in me moving. Now I live in a row of 5 and not one thing annoys me except from the corner being the local drug pick up point. I am easily annoyed and can genuinely say not none of my neighbours annoy me which is now concerning me that I must be the annoying neighbour

Over the road: play shit reggae and drum n bass (by which I mean not actual reggae/DnB but some kind of various artists crap that you'd get on a CD in the pound shop) at high volume.
Sit in the street in their car, or in the front garden drinking and shouting at each other
Let 1 kid ride an illegal motorbike up and down the street without a helmet
Let their other kids do as they like including running in and out of people's gardens, being rude and leaving rubbish all over the street
Filling their shitty front garden with an assortment of crap including 12 bins, a fridge, bath, loads of toys, a buggy, etc

Next door
Kids (aged 3-10) scream and shout constantly from 7am
One kicks a ball against my fence. Broke the last one which his dick of a father moaned I took to long to replace
Let themselves into my back garden whenever they felt like it (until I got a lock for the gate and a bigger fence)
Put their rubbish in my bin, let kids draw all over my wall, throw stuff (balls, food wrappers etc) in my garden

Both families are complete scummy fuckers who I despise. Neither lived here when I moved in.

My neighbours are so lovely, that I shouldn't say a word against them.

But I hate that fucking piano.

The ch used to play it for around 5 hours per day (straight after school and right up until bed). Then they kindly brought a keyboard with headphones, so we don't get the piano as often, but we do still get it a lot. They've got better at least. But I still hate it!

Smoke weed outside and it stinks.
When outside the Mum constantly talks at high volume with a voice and accent that sound like nails down a blackboard.

Have no consideration
Keep two dogs locked up all day
Play music
Shag for hours and hours between midnight and 6am
Bang around
Talk loudly on the phone
Bang back at us when we have sex
Let their feral children scream all night.

My god there are some inconsiderate fuckers out there.

My NDNs are okay, but their dog is loud and they sometimes help themselves to my parking space.

@romany4 I think we have the same neighbour. Do said kids that are dumped in the garden at 7am every morning also jump from shed to shed in peoples gardens?

And does dad regularly 'fix' a motorbike and have it revving for fucking HOURS?!

Revving his banger's engine for ages whilst tinkering again causing me to close all my windows and doors in this heat because he's filling my house with diesel smoke.

We live upstairs in a large house conversion with 3 flats, our neighbour who lives in the basement has been trying to stop us putting rubbish in our own bin, which is in the basement for the last 12 years now, despite having letters sent to him telling him the basement is a communal bin area, and he is breaching his tenancy harassing us.
As soon as we try to put a black bag in our bin he comes out and watches us, he even got his wife to tell us that we should keep all our rubbish indoors all week, like they do, until the bin men come on a Monday morning.
He told the housing officer he doesn't want anyone to come into his basement, its so hard really want to move now.

My neighbours are all lovely. I'm really lucky. They are the only reason I've not handed in my notice already. I've lived with shitty neighbours before and it's not something I want to risk again. My last place had a shitty LL and numerous shitty neighbours, so to 'only' have to suffer an abysmal LL feels like bliss.

They do things which might upset other people. The house attached to me is keen o

n BBQ's and loud music in the garden but they don't start too early or go on too late, so it's fine with me. They have quite decent taste in music which helps.

The other neighbour's son likes playing in my front garden with the first neighbour's kid. They do weeding for me under the guise of stealing my 'flowers'. I luffs them. When they run out of 'flowers' in the front garden I might start leaving the back garden gate ajar

In my last house I had a mentally ill man in the flat above the shop next door who was convinced I was his ex-wife. He kept trying to get into my house. After I involved the police he stopped and satisfied himself with standing in the middle of the road outside my house gazing through the window. We stopped using the front room.

Three doors down there was an addict who spent most nights loudly threatening to kill her boyfriend. It often went on all night. There was one occasion she phoned the police on him so he decided to try and kick down my door because he wanted to use my phone to call a taxi According to 111 this isn't a police issue, it is a noise complaint The council are adamant it is a police issue and so refused to do anything about it. Her LL didn't give a fuck as long as he got the housing benefit.

Over the road, we had a man with three suspiciously pitbull esque staffies who were frequently left unattended and roaming the street. They seemed friendly enough to people but my dog is not friendly to loose dogs, so for weeks on end he wasn't walked because I didn't dare risk taking him through the front door.

The addict was friends with him, they communicated by hollering across the street from their upstairs windows.

Bring on the BBQ's and flower stealing garden invaders, I say

Ndn son played ridiculously loud banging 'music as a teen. Grew up, moved out. Result! Ndn then got a dog. It barks between 6-6.30 most mornings when she goes to work. We can live with that.

We have a small garden, houses behind haVe smaller yards which are higher. Man stands, shirt off, gazing at our back door when it's nice out. If we're in the garden we don't see him, but it's annoying every time we go to the back door, or look out the kitchen winow, he's looming. Visitors have noticed, not just DH and I. Our garden overlooks another, we don't stare into it! Minor compared to Velvetspoon and others, but it ticks me off.
