Arghhhhh!
The idiots on the corner are blasting music out of their house. Nasty offensive lyrics about putting your dick on my shoulder or something...
All the kids in the area are kicking their ball into our hedge and systematically destroying it.
They woke DS up last night (twice) and then got lippy with DH when he asked them to keep it down.

Can I add mine?( when they come back)
They slam doors all hours of the night,
play music really loud at midnight,
burnt their flat out then tried to blame everyone else in block for arson!!,
left the dog in the kitchen to die in the fire,
had their kids taken away by SS,
are getting their flat completely refitted thanks to HA but are bringing 2 dogs back even though all kids in the block are afraid of them,

we are pretty sure they are fiddling benefits,

won't tell the HA they the kids have been adopted so they can keep the spare bedroom for their friends to crash in.....
Shall I go on?
Breathe, just breathe....

i hate mine too. they own the house opposite and rent it out to polish people. nothing against polish in general but really fed up with these ones! they shout and scream at each other in their language at all hours and the stupid twats think it really big and clever to use the street as a race track and wheel spin and skid and stuff outside our house. have woke dd2 up countless times. twunts.

I'm not too keen on mine although they are not anti-social per se.

Mrs is a fishwife who shrieks at her husband and (adult) son and calls them every colour under the sun. She also slags off all the other neighbours in a loud voice. She reads the Sun and believes the "Squirat" story (we had to google it).

She complained that our gate was squeaking and keeping her son awake at night. I think she has OCD and when we mow our front lawn she comes rushing out with a broom in case any cuttings get on her drive.

V. odd.

Have just decided that I hate my neighbour!! We applied for planning permission to get an extension pending the new arrival of baby - we spoke to her and she said that it sounded like a good idea and that it was fine with her (smiley smiley) as it would not impact her property at all as (she wouldn't even see it!) Found out today that she has decided to apose it!! [grrr] We would rather she had come and said something to us before we had paid out architechs/planning fees etc!
We only want somewhere for the baby to sleep!!!

Twinkie1 · 17/05/2006 10:51

I hate my pikey, staff owning common horrid white van owning neighbours with avengance - am f'ing sick of their van being parked infront of my house so I can't get off of my drive safely and the buses have to break outside my house so waking up DS (asked him to move it and he said no he is worried about the graffiti (what graffiti you neanderthal!!! - we live in a nice area not the scrote of the earth where you crawled from!!) , am sick of hearing their doors slamming - keep hold of the handle till it reaches the jam FFS and am sick of having to listen to 'BO SELCTA' at full blast at 10am in the morning when I have just got DS to sleep after having him up all night from the F'ing buses!!!

(Should have realised when they played Ragga music till 3.30 in the morning the day after they moved in!!)

Found out that everyone else hates them too though as they were hitting back neighbours puppy with a snooker cue last week - that sums it up completely really!!!

fairyjay · 17/05/2006 10:57

Our neighbour opposed our extension (got pp though), but a couple of years previously she and her (late) dh were planning to sell their house to a developer, for a mini estate to be built in their garden. And we didn't oppose!

yackertyyack · 17/05/2006 11:04

fairyjay- glad to hear you got PP! The council did say that if its not justified they will ignore it! We think that she has only objected as it has given her something to do - she is very lonely and is now on her own with 2 children but doesn't have anything else to do all day other than worry about what the neighbours are up too. Its a shame really as we live in a really nice cul de sac and we have always got on well and been polite etc but this has just made us feel a bit sour!!!

MissChief · 17/05/2006 11:12

gosh, can't believe some of your neighbours! Mine are sim to Custardo's -completely harmless but so annoyingly proper, right Mr & Mrs Home Counties and yet they're probably not even 30..
They never make a noise, are v tidy,
well-groomed with a well-tended garden. I think, relatively, we're the bad neighbours as we fail on all these fronts Grin

foundintranslation · 17/05/2006 11:12

I don't hate any of my neighbours, but the folk in the flat above us kept us awake for over an hour from 2am last night with loud thumpy music and shouting/laughing Angry - amazingly ds didn't wake up - dh went to ring their bell to ask them to keep it down and they ignored the ringing - so we called the police - heard them ringing their downstairs bell and all went miraculously quiet... I had to teach 25 students at 8 this morning [bleary-eyed emoticon] - sorry for rant

babyonboard · 17/05/2006 11:13

I love our new neighbours- but our old ones drove us crazy

-They installed a huge satellite dish so that most of it protruded over our bedroom window. They refused to remove it so I got dp to take it down (leaning out of the window with a screwdriver..very amusing!) and we dumped it in the hall.

-They would smoke in the shared hallway and put fag ends out on the skirting boards and then leave them on the floor.

-They put bag after bag of stinking rubbish in the hall instead of walking downstairs to the bin

-They played cheesy europop ridiculously loudly at all all hours and practiced 'mcing' into a microphone over it..sometimes this was hilarious..most of the time it was a pain in the ass!

-There always seemed to be at least ten people living there, very odd for a studio flat!

-They had very loud s&m sex in the shower (just below our bedroom)

-Despite our obvious hatred of them they knocked on our door at least three times a week and asked to borrow a tenner, some coffee, shower gel, all kinds of stuff.

we now have a lovely quiet couple with a little baby which is such a blessing after those guys!

MissChief · 17/05/2006 11:15

BOB ! I live in a really boring place...!

yackertyyack · 17/05/2006 11:29

oh our neighbourhood is very 'wisteria lane' like with cars/lawns done after 10am on a sunday, rubbish neatly piled up in glass/paper/plastic/waste sections, polite chat when meeting and everyone sending each other xmas cards! Thats why we are surprised at the sudden cloak and dagger behaviour of our neighbour!! I shouldn't really complain as reading some of your stories I would be demented if I had your neighbours!

babyonboard · 17/05/2006 11:29

lol...
we've also had a fab gay couple - a 22 year old german guy into techno and partying, and his boyfriend, a 43 year old r.e teacher that loved kittens, housework, and had mainly old ladies as friends..amazingly they are now married! opposites attract..lol
and a nigerian guy that we swear was a pimp..he dressed the part..had people coming and going all night..hmm..
but also a very boring mid thirties couple who once painted our door for us as they thought it looked shabby..hehee

we live on the borders of 'nice' and 'bad' south london..guess thats why theres such an eclectic bunch around here..lol.

MissChief · 17/05/2006 11:47

bet it was my neighbours who snuck round and painted yr door..

babyonboard · 17/05/2006 12:11

tehee mishchief!
that was a crazy thing to do..they painted it a weak red colour too...almost pink..grrrr

MissChief · 17/05/2006 12:12

oh I hope you havne't got a ds then, or maybe they made a mistake? wouldn't want to co-ordinate colours wrongly!

joelalie · 17/05/2006 12:49

Ha! Well I've always prided myself on being tolerant and a live and let live kinda gal.....BUT I am beginning to realise that I have a serious anger management problem Wink. Most of my neighbours are OK...some are very nice. But there's a bloke across the road who had just moved in (renting only) who plays his music at top volume (don't particularly mind the music as it goes but I don't want to listen it thankyou very much). But also, regularly as clockwork, there is a weekly row with his gf (I assume) his gf's daughter and her brother. This row is IN THE STREET!!! At top volume, liberally sprinkled with ripe language. At 11 at night.... Atm everyone has their windows open at night 'cos it's getting warm and I can just see everyone else lying there silently fuming like me but too scared to do anything!! Pathetic really but we're all just too damn polite. Added to this he leaves notes on windscreen when cars are parked on double yellows (we have serious parking shortage round here and everyone has to do this from time to time) and when someone's car alarm goes off.....utilising the same imaginative and ripe language Grin!!! Might have to do the same next time they have a row.....

For the first time in my life I'm thinking of starting a Neighbourhood Watch scheme and getting net curtains. Perhaps even a pitchfork.... I'm surprised at myself.

babyonboard · 17/05/2006 13:22

lmao joelalie..what a pain in theass!
why didn't i think of a pitchfork..
hehe

fairyjay · 17/05/2006 20:09

I reckon a cold water hose would do the job - if they're not banned Grin

2Happy · 17/05/2006 20:12

Hate my misogynistic wife beating neighbour but - THEY'RE MOVING! Yay! They've dropped the price of their house by £30,000 since we had ds! Any connection?! Wink

alp · 17/05/2006 20:56

we call our neighbour dickhead (not very mature but fitting) then we found out his name is Willy!!!!

WishICouldGiveUpWork - You have a wallaby?! how cool is that!!

WishICouldGiveUpWork · 17/05/2006 22:12

Heis pretty cool and his name is Nigel....although he no longer lives with us but has retired to the country where his best friend is a duck and his other friends are llamas and sheep Smile I do miss him though-he was my "baby" for 3rs.

plummymummy · 18/05/2006 10:12

Lovely neighbours now but bitchmare neighbour in the past. She apparently told another neighbour that we looked like we were going to be trouble before we had even moved in/met them. Turns out she was mega jealous. She had a thing for black guys (dh is black) but the ones she'd dated in the past had used her as a babysitter for their various kids and well, just shagged her and never took her anywhere. So it didn't go down too well to see me being treated well by dh. Also she used to rant and rave at her mum on the phone calling her a 4 letter word beginning with c. Nice. Then she got her jailbird brother to park her mum's untaxed old banger in our parking bay and just leave it there. When we asked her politely to move it she said she didn't have the key. Asked her to get it and she said no, she wasn't going to hassle her poor mum (the one she calls a cunt every day)as she's having a hard time. Aaahhh me art bleeds. 2 weeks passed and car still there. Knock on her door and tell her move it or we will. Brother comes round (we're supposed to be scared)and is about to get lairy then sees dh and thinks better of it. Alright mate, I'm sure we can sort this out eh? Dh says course we can, just move the car. Brother says oh alright then and moves it. Sorted. A week later she puts a washing line up right outside our bedroom window. I pull it up and put it outside her front door with a note saying that I'm sorry she feels so inadequate that she has to keep drawing attention to herself in these ways, but that there is a good psychiatric service at the local hospital and I can recommend some shrinks who specialise in her type of borderline personality disorder. She moved out a month later Grin

wannaBe1974 · 18/05/2006 12:02

My neighbours are strange but harmless, with annoying tendencies.

They don't have any kids but have two dogs whom they treat like children, and instead of walking them down the street, they carry them. The dogs are red setters.

Secondly the man cuts his lawn at 8:00 at night, and it takes him 3 hours. Have no idea why, as his carden is 40 ft long and about 25 ft wide max, and consists of only grass, not a plant, not a shrub, not a flower in sight.

Then on bonfire night they had a massive party and had a firework display that lasted 5 hours. I very seriously considered ringing the police.

And at Christmas ... bearing in mind they have no children ...

they deck out their whole house in those tacky coloured lights, with trains/houses/slays/father christmases all over the house/garage. And on their lawn they have a slay with reindeer, a train, and ... ... .... and inflatabl scooby do. And on Christmas day they hired a snow machine! hmmm.

plummymummy · 19/05/2006 01:37

OMG wannabe they sound seriously weird. Just out of interest, when they had their firework display did anyone turn up or was it just for their benefit? PMSL at the thought of them carrying red setters around Grin They sound (ever so slightly) obsessive. ? psychiatric needs.
