Blamed me on driving over a cat & killing it

Said cat was on my doorstep the next evening.......

Witters on about the busted fence panel I can't find a replacement for! And the took down part of my back fence to repair hers without asking or telling me! I walked into my kitchen replacing my nursing bra (as you do!) to find two work men grining at me from the back fence

Where I used to live the couple had teenage sons who threw a Party. I found a USED!!! condom in my garden the next day

Having said that I do have some lovely nieghbours and I had loads of gifts when DD was born - even from those I hardly knew.

Having an extremely ugly car. Dirty great black van that looks like something in which you would receive a beating from an Italian policeman.

Building and renovations work. Been going on for almost 3 years now.

A couple drive in to the cul de sac a bit too fast

One drives an ancient old land rover, as if he's in the sticks and needs it for getting to the lower field, and another drives a hideous twin cab pickup {angry] - but that's it. We've got fab neighbours - it's a lovely wee street.

Telling me to fark off when I politely asked if she wouldn't mind telling me when there was someone on my property (at the flaming kitchen window whilst I had a potty training toddler with no nappy on in the house). Yelling at her kids at the top of her voice every morning, then having the cheek to bellow at passing teenagers about the noise they make. Sending her partner round to ask if we'd put a mcdonalds wrapper in her bin (her bin is behind a fence, ours is at the side of our house)
She's a gold plated, rock solid nutter. Bless her cotton socks.

gigglewitch · 09/10/2007 21:10

ours shout loudly (she wants baby, he got her a dog{??} same row every time) and always the minute we have settled all the DC down and the very rare occasion when there's something good to watch on telly.

Oh, and fireworks. any time. all the time. like now for instance. they started their bonfire night celebrations in september....ooh don't get me going on that rant again!

bilblio · 09/10/2007 21:13

Knock on the door (almost) every day for the past 11 weeks asking if they can see DD. The kids... not the grown ups. It was sweet at first, but now it's kids from several houses and they don't come en masse anymore.
We've tried asking them not to, and I now their parents have told them not to but they still come round.

They've got short shrift several times. Especially on the occasions when I've been bfing DD and they keep...on...knocking until I answer, even though I've shouted that we're busy!

UnquietDad · 09/10/2007 21:14

Loud sex. Definitely.

Just wondering what our neighbours would say.
"Letting their screaming kids play noisily and shouting at them", I expect...

FrannyandZooey · 09/10/2007 21:16

having had the most complained about residents in our town living next door at our previous address, we find our current neighbours really rather civilised

allhallows · 09/10/2007 21:19

Not to us specifically but one of our neighbors polishes the tyres of his car. And covers it with a blanket at night. Sick. The man is sick.

swag · 09/10/2007 21:20

Next doors new boyfriend talks outside on his phone night and day, really loud and we hear every word of the conversation. With our windows closed. And the radio turned up. And he walks while he talks so moving to a different room doesn't guarantee that we won't hear him

But I have found out lots of gossip from him that I share with my lovely neighbour on the other side

My next door neighbour with the boyfriend would probably say I'm a nosy cow!

screaminghousewife · 09/10/2007 21:20

Well, I have a theory, everywhere I've lived I've had a really lovely neighbour on one side and a total pita on the other.
When I first left home and lived in a hostel, the guy in the room next door took the biscuit. Every morning, without fail, 6am on the dot, he'd be up doing his tai chi (or whatever it was) on the adjoining wall of our rooms.

allhallows · 09/10/2007 21:21

lol, screaming!

BrownSuga · 09/10/2007 21:22

mow their lawn in that nice striped pattern, aerate it and feed it. it's so much nicer than ours

saltire · 09/10/2007 21:23

Do you mean current neighbours?

if so, well ours lets her children (aged 4,6 and 8)bang and thump up and down the stairs from about 6pm until they go to bed between 10pm and 11pm (the children that is, not her), then she spends from about 11pm till gone midnight yelling and screechin at them to "get into bed" or "go to sleep".
Every night, except of course Saturday and Sunday nights, when they go out and arrive back about midnihgt, and it all starts again and goes on until about 2am

Washersaurus · 09/10/2007 21:23

Smoking outside their back door (underneath our bedroom window, where DS2 sleeps too)....Oh, and the fact they have a social life really pisses me off

bozza · 09/10/2007 21:24

Our current ones on one side are OK. The previous occupants used to drive over our garden which annoyed me rather a lot. At the other side they are OK but park there car so close to my rockery that I know there is no way they could get out without walking on my rockery. Also seem to have a lot of rubbish hanging around but am putting up with that as they have only recently moved in.

screaminghousewife · 09/10/2007 21:24

Allhallows, I lived next door but one to a man who did that and he was out the front every weekend, rain or shine, vigorously polishing his beloved shit heap car.

allhallows · 09/10/2007 21:26

and this guy also uses a freakin tape measure to get the lines on his lawn perfectly straight... well, almost. argh! Every Sat morning, there he is, up & down... drives me cukoo.

screaminghousewife · 09/10/2007 21:27

Rofl at man with tape measure on lawn. NUTTER!

our flats are fitted with automatic-closing firedoors - ours are all propped open but our downstairs neighbour slams her way through the flat at all hours of day/night. It shakes the entire flat.

But that isn't as annoying as her long, screaming sessions, arguments she carries on by phone at least once a day. I'm all in favor of a good profanity but I do get fed up hearing "well f'ing shut the f up and leave me the f alone" shouted at all hours of day/night. Just hang up already, and don't answer next time. Jeez.

allhallows · 09/10/2007 21:30

BUT he screams blue murder at his dw & kids from time to time. Has these terrible rages late at night, then storms out & sits in his precious car. Weirdo.
