Things your neighbours do that annoy you

[Moominfan]

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

The slightly rough teenage daughter from nextdoor but one likes to blast her speakers out of her window into the garden for everyone else on the road to hear, and then stay in her room.

Neighbours that were in their garden cutting tiles at gone midnight on a bank holiday Monday - a whole weekend and they feel the need to do it when everyone had to go to work the next day

I’m not bothered by bbq or kids playing. That’s what gardens are for... but my neighbour belches very loud all day long followed by ‘fucking hell’
in the morning with 2 whinging kids I hear him, whilst they’re at school...when I’m hanging washing out!
Belching & burping continuously. We’ve only lived here 8 months

No major issue with our neighbours except the way they park. And next doors kids when they have sleepovers and are outside screaming at 8.30 on a Sunday morning 😡

@Rednailsandnaeknickers Yes, definitely spectrum. Definitely. You are correct in your assessment and recommendations!

I grew up on a farm with 300 acres. I am having difficulty living in suburbia, to put it mildly.

itchyknees I know what you mean. It’s not a big deal really but my ex neighbour would clean his car, his wife’s car and then his grown-up 3dc would turn up with their cars too plus the partners! He would also trim his trees regularly next to our fence so I flung the trimmings back in his garden. His property ( the branches) apparently so legal.

Until I got to the bit about kids at school, I feared you might live next door to us. DP would win gold if belching was a competitive sport.

One who is surprised that she has rats when she feeds wild birds and then blames us even though we have no food source. And across the road who think they own the road and do a shuffle of vehicles every time they go out to make sure that no one else can park there.

We have one elderly neighbour that believed the pavement outside our driveway was his parking space.

He kept parking there and blocking me in and when I went round to speak to him and ask him to move it again he told me that we are the problem and he never had issues like this before we moved in.

Another neighbour tried to get us to give him full on report of work fixed through our insurance company.
I contacted our insurance company and asked for their advise as it seemed a strange request. (they lived 2 doors down, so not even next door). The insurance company told me not to send the information and I could pass on their contact information instead and they would talk to him directly.

We later found out he had issued a claim against us through our insurance company saying that we had been the cause of damp in his house!

Luckily the insurance company said it was so outlandish they did their best to help us as we didnt even have the cover that would have sorted this out anyway.

That was after we had only just moved in and I had just given birth.
We've been here a year now and they are very sheepish (rightly so!) each time we cross paths.

@Winterdown your posts are horrible and deeply offensive. You seem to be aware that the man is probably autistic - "definitely spectrum" - yet you chose to describe him in such mocking and disparaging terms...

"my neighbour is so weird. He is the type that has bodies buried in his basement. Honestly. Quiet. Does not talk to anybody. Creepy. ...
When he is in his garden alone from 4-5 exactly, he makes these weird hand gestures (like a tic ?) and then abruptly stops. Like he is practicing something (wringing my neck, probably?). ...
SO REGIMENTED."

He's probably stimming - it's what many autistic people do to cope with their anxiety. Being regimented in their habits and having set routines is also what many people with autism need to do - it's how they cope.

Are you malicious and disablist or just incredibly ignorant?

@TatterdemalionAspie I was thinking about this last night. I am not sure he is on the spectrum, actually. I know I wrote "definitely was" but listen... this guy. He has his own consulting company. He and his wife golf daily. They drive expensive cars. Very, very expensive Lexus. He is very social with other neighbours, like "Hey! How are you!" backslapping social.

He is regimented in his times. Like he has a "happy hour" in his garden. He has his routines. But socially in his interactions with my husband, I don't think he is autistic or aspergers.

No, I am not ignorant. I actually work in hospitals, in mental health! Ha! Run with that, will you. I have worked with the developmentally disabled.

We are all on the spectrum of everything. I am not picking on anybody, so cool your jets.

"He is very social with other neighbours, like "Hey! How are you!" backslapping social."
or
"Quiet. Does not talk to anybody. Creepy."

Which is it?

You work in mental health, yet you think that autistic people can't have good jobs/run their own business, drive expensive cars or play golf? And you trot out the tired old nonsense 'we are all on the spectrum'. No... we are not all on the spectrum. You sound totally unfit to be a mental health practitioner with the attitudes you've displayed in your posts.

I used to live in a block of flats on the ground floor, the next one up was home to a drug dealer.

I used to get people knocking on my window at all hours asking for drugs, they woudn't go away. I used to re-direct them to the next block. Thank goodness I never had any trouble.

It took ages for the police to sort it out.

The drug dealer was arrested and jailed, then the next tenant was a paedophile, young girls coming in and out.

This seemed to take ages to sort out as well.

It was actually a very nice street, apart from the tenants of that flat, glad I've moved though.

@Winterdown you haven't got a clue about autistic people have you. It's a myth that no one with autism is social. And no we are not all on the spectrum of everything 🙄

I have newish neighbours. They seem lovely enough so far and are friendly and pretty considerate (plus they put up with my kids being noisy until 7pm).

But ever since the sun appeared few weeks ago, they've lived in their back yard! Deckchairs out, radio 1 on full blast - I swear they've cooked every single meal for weeks on their tiny barbecue. I can't really complain as they're in bed by 10 due to working early mornings (then finish early and head out back all afternoon) But I'd rather not have radio 1 all day long and all my washing stinking of bbq sausages every day.

Still, at least they're not smack dealers whose customers sometimes walk in our back door by mistake. Or fervent Christians who constantly try to spread the good word and persuade us to join them at their Evangelical church (nothing against that but please take no thank you for a final answer). Or a divorcing couple who scream at each other loudly at 3am. So they're an improvement on the last few lots.

Special mention to the people who live at the end of my street. They have a very large paved area wit multiple caravans and sheds round the back of the house. They appear to be running some kind of poultry operation there as sometimes we've had escaped turkeys, Guinea Fowl and other birds wandering in the road. I assume they're responsible for the Cockerel thacrows loudly all day and half the night - there's one a few streets away and they seem to be in competition with each other.

Note I do not live in a rural area! Another neighbour complained years ago and mysteriously had his tyres slashed and a brick through his window, so I'm not about to say anything to them.

I have only had one bad set of neighbours. She was OK to have a chat to on the drive but the man never spoke and you could hear their primary school kid screaming at them calling them cunts on a regular basis [hmmm]. Im pretty sure he had issues, but the father used to give back just as good on the language front.

On the other side, was a lovely old man and you never heard him. The only was I knew he was alive was the curtains opening and closing every day.

I then moved away to a detatched house and I think I am that neighbour now. I was out mowing my lawn this weekend just gone at 09:30 on the Saturday as I was out from 11am right through to the sunday night. Everyone seems nice enough so far but ive only been there 6 months....

Just by living there. Ugh. I wish they would move

I just find it relentless My neighbours have their grandkids round every fucking day after school to scream and shout in the garden. So if I want to sit in my garden on a nice day after work/school run I have to listen to them wankers all shouting.

None of the fuckers work. The mother next door (who's children are all grown up allegedly) said to me when I mentioned I was doing xyz so in the future when the kids are older I can hopefully get a better pain job full time "oh well that ok but then your house starts getting neglected etc" I just thought great, you live in your council house with your cheap rent and not work "so your house doesn't get neglected " whilst the rest of us go out to work to pay for ourselves.

They should be made to move or have to pay full market rate rent now their kids are all grown up in their 20s because they are sitting in a 3 bed family home

Talk in Bulgarian..all the effing time...:)
Have endless barbecues yes even in February
Try to get me thrown out so that their friends can move in..:)

l'm very, very lucky with my neighbours. (And l appreciate them because l've had some horrors in my time!)
The lady in the other semi l'm attached to is rarely at home, but she's friendly and has cut the shared front lawn all the time l've been here. l'll reciprocate now l've got a lawnmower!
The family l share a driveway with are lovely. Young couple with two little boys and a one year old. The two older boys are just adorable. Very polite, they always knock and ask if they can get their ball from the back garden (even though l've told them loads of times it's ok just to fetch it), l invite them in to see my rabbits, which they love. The mum and dad are so nice, we take parcels in for each other.
After some of the ones l've had in the past, living here is Utopian!

Ha ha it's raining now so the fuckers had to go in! Diddoms

We're on a lovely street, but I do get fed up with constant bbq's especially when my washing is quite clearly out.
