to ask if you have ever started a nightmare neighbour thread

[mygardenersworld]

.......what was the outcome in the end?

I have problems with my ndn and have read a lot of threads on here about nightmare and noisy neighbours. i find it makes me feel less alone in having to live next to horrible people!

But there are so many threads with no update where i think, i wonder if they ever moved/got the ndn evicted/ended up murdering them in a fit of rage

So if you have ever posted on here about your nightmare neighbours, what happened in the end?

I did a few years ago.
Ndn avoids me now he knows I don't bow down to his bullying ways.

I started a thread back at the start of lockdown 1. My NDN would have people over all day every day, different relatives. She would stand at her front door and her relative would stand at the end of the drive and they would yell at each other the whole time. To make it worse, her dogs would bark the entire time because they barked whenever someone was at the door. I had a baby who couldn't sleep through the yelling/barking (his room was directly above the front door - which was about three inches from NDN's next door). I had suggestions on my thread that ranged up to phoning the police haha. I basically spoke to her over the fence one day and said "you've got a lot of guests coming round - very popular!" and she said it was a complete nightmare for her. Her family all thought it'd be a great idea to do big round-robin meet ups 1-to-1 and get to see everyone - and she HATED it. She tried to avoid it by saying she needed to be at home but that's when they switched to coming to her house instead.
Next time someone rocked up out the front, I went out and said "Jenny (not her real name), would you mind not having people over all day? Your dogs are barking and it's keeping DS awake. It's been going on for weeks now and I've had enough". NDN thought I was doing her a favour, pretending to be annoyed to get rid of her relatives and I got my peace and quiet back :)

No but I've considered it and I like reading those threads too. My neighbours are making my life a misery. So far I've written them notes, reported to SS, called the police and complained to their landlord and unfortunately the problems are still ongoing. I'm currently making regular recordings of their behaviour so I have proof to show their landlord.

It's depressingly difficult to do anything about it and we can't put the house on the market yet as we're in the middle of various jobs,

We moved...

Neighbours installed a Woodburner, smoke affected us badly. They took umbrage at one practical suggestion to help mitigate the problem & became very difficult.

Depends on the issue. I had very inconsiderate and rude upstairs neighbours. I owned my flat and they rented. They used to throw their rotten fish, cigarette ends etc in my garden. Their landlord eventually decided to sell, and a “normal” couple moved in.
More recently (different property) we’ve had privacy issues, but this will be resolved using large bamboo plants. We have noise issues at the weekend, but at least it’s only the weekend. Could be worse!

I could have done if I had Mumsnet at the time.

My new neighbour was really weird. Not horrible, but he did things that weren't okay.

When they first moved in, he used to walk his cat on a lead. But he'd walk it over our drive, directly in front of our windows (where I was often sat in just a T-shirt due to being heavily pregnant and hating trousers). It used to piss me off. My husband wouldn't say anything, though.

He also used to park his car at the end of our drive, blocking in our car, if he needed to get into his garage. Again, when I was heavily pregnant so we could have needed the car at any moment. I wouldn't have minded but there is loads of street parking right outside the house. There was no need to block us in. It was really bizarre.

It ended when he had a heart attack and died.
