Celebrating my neighbours moving out

[Neron]

Yes I am petty, but today is a magical day! For years we've suffered noise, anti social behaviour, racism and abuse from these people but today I've been surprised with them moving all their stuff out

Ok DH and I are currently in the process of buying a property ourselves as we needed to get away from them...but we need to move anyway. I feel a celebration coming on

Haha no! In my excitement I've forgotten how to spell

I don’t blame you, my awful noisy neighbours have also just moved out. They lived in the flat above me for 2 years, I was so glad they finally left!

Lots of & for you OP! That’s fantastic I hope you can finally relax in your home! My NDNs have started randomly doing their house up so fingers crossed hopefully they’ll sell. Be nice to not hear their dog barking 24/7!

It's just typical we are in the process of moving ourselves, however at least our remaining time here will be relatively peaceful and we won't be leaving on a downer

Maybe you will get lucky and nobody else will move in until your family is gone!

We live in an apartment so we still have other things to put up with, but yes hopefully we won't have anyone replace these people

When I lived in a block of 8 flats years ago we had a lady upstairs who moved her very violent alcoholic boyfriend in who caused so much chaos and misery that we had the local policeman out at least twice a week (village location with our own local police house & bobby). After about six months of this she decided to move out as we weren't very sympathetic to her boyfriend's 'issues' and he wasn't very keen to stay once he realised that we were not going to take his shit and that we knew exactly who he was and everything about him via outstanding investigative work by us the residents!.

On the day she moved out we had a celebratory BBQ in our communal area and while the party was in full swing, she turned up with her sister in tow to double check that she'd not left anything behind. She said " ooh I'm missing a party - what's the occasion?" So we told her that we were celebrating the departure of her and her scuzzy CF boyfriend. Her sister asked what we meant so we filled her in on everything that had happened. It turned out that our neighbour had told her sister that we were victimising her and her 'sick' BF and that she'd been forced out by our unreasonable behaviour! Unfortunately for the sister she had already agreed to have them move in with her so the look on her face was amazing especially when we showed her our rather thick file of evidence we kept for the local bobby. Apparently, ex-neighbour had also told her sister that the reason that BF vomited so often was due his stomach cancer treatment (utter lie) and didn't mention it was actually due to alcohol and heroin addiction. I expect that the conversation on the way back home was interesting...

We did try to help her at the beginning but she just kept saying that only she could save him and really couldn't see that when your BF wrecks you and your flat (and the communal areas) at 2am then he doesn't love you and actually only loves the fact that you work in an off-license!!!
