Help me annoy our neighbours

[NeighbourTrouble63]

Lighthearted (ish!)

I don’t say this lightly but we have the most truly horrible couple (‘young professionals’, although they don’t act like it) that I have ever met living beside us - even since the day that we moved in they have completely blanked us, anytime I have simply waved over or said ‘good morning’ I get ignored. In the 4 years that we have lived here neither of them have ever even made eye contact with me. It is bizarre and I have no idea what their problem is. I feel like they automatically see us as below them since we are renting (I have just gotten through a messy divorce, it is only my very sensible teen DD and I living here)

They have constant, wild parties going on into the small hours. It’s a 1930s semi so very poor sound insulation - we hear everything. I went round and politely knocked their door one Friday party night as DD had just had an operation and really needed her sleep - the door was slammed in my face. Their Range Rover (definitely heavily financed) is constantly parked right over the pavement, forcing buggies and wheelchair users onto the busy road.

They are vile people and I want a petty yet harmless way to get my own back when we move out in a few months. Any ideas?

Unless you also loathe your current land lord and the rest of your neighbours please don’t plant knotweed.

I think you'll find you arr anti social.
You're not behaving in a way that is considered the norm by society.
If you look at what anti social means.
Dp you work, or have to interact with others? Are you not able tp even nod to someone, who saxs hello to you?
Anyway I'm glad I have neighbours who say hello and help me if I need somethiing., they don't jave long conversations with me, they just water my plants in summer when I'm not there.

They walked my dogs when I had coviid, just very nice.

I feel sorry for your neighbour.

A different angle than an instrument: practice with a ball. As someone whose neighbour is teaching ball bouncing and kicking too morning and night every day to their son/nephew I can honestly say hours of the dull "thump-thump" drive me insane and would probably annoy without hurting.

My neighbour doesn't need your pity, trust me. Her overly chattiness includes statements like 'they said [insert place name where we live] was friendly but folk here aren't friendly', 'some of your plants are ugly', 'your child doesn't even acknowledge me', ''somebody' has complained about me hanging washing where I'm not supposed to but I'll do it anyway'. She tells me long winded details about their lives and her opinions. They've turned their tiny garden into a workshop for the male - he drills and hammers and makes a racket much more than anyone else in the area. I do acknowledge them if I have to, and some of my other neighbours, but why should I be forced to interact with someone I'd never normally be friends with? The only neighbour I'd chose to spend time with is a few doors down, because she's actually not a nosey, judgey pain in the bum!

I would start keeping a note of their loud parties and bad parking.
They are never going to be civil so forget that!
We had similar neighbours once and it turned out they were massive cocaine users, hence the loudness and arrogance.

😂😂😂😂😂 I can't stop laughing

Of course I'm joking. I own my home, and the fact I'm even thinking it should give you a decent indication of exactly how bad my current neighbours are.

"I won’t however sit here and allow people to criticise me and give nasty remarks for the crime of wanting to live in peace and be neighbourly"

On a thread titled "help me annoy our neighbours". Can you not see the irony here?

LOL 😆 🤣

Banana up the exhaust pipe.
My favourite prank.

They don’t sound like ideal neighbours, but there is zero evidence that they judge OP for renting (or anything else) - they’ve never even spoken to her! Also, IMO, even if they were “of the wealth” to own the car outright (which they may well be, OP has literally no idea), that still wouldn’t give them the right to judge someone for renting?! What a bizarre mindset. This seems far more likely to be the OP projecting than any actual thoughts of the neighbours who probably don’t spend any of their lives thinking about whether she owns her own home, because why would they?

I’m hoping that’s just internet hyperbole, as everyone knows the danger associated with shoving things in an exhaust pipe. Unless you’re 5.
