Tell me about your annoying / horrible neighbours.

I have a feeling that we have moved in into a snake enclosure. There are some really grumpy people in our apartment block. We don't produce much noise but children occasionally talk loud and say things to each other. I think it's normal for siblings and we try to keep the noise down. The neighbours below us want us to tiptoe. Another neighbour attacks other people who walk on the grass and swears at them. Don't dare to put washing on the balcony. It will be reported to the Management. Some neighbours put balcony privacy screens as you cannot always keep washing inside. It doesn't dry properly. Anyway, some of them are just so pathetic. They feel like they own the place but it's owned by other people as well. Or do they think that because they're over 70 then they have right above us as more mature and much "wiser "?

I came in this thread to see if my neighbours have posted about me. I know they wrote to the council about ddog. Before he grew up he barked a lot randomly when we weren't in. My nice neighbour the other side liked it to lassie trying to tell you there are kids stuck down a well and just laughed! I wanted to kill ddog but he's much much better now.

God I'd forgotten the time the woman arrived at my business premises and told all my customers I was having an affair with a black man (one of my best friends who sometimes visited us). They arranged for one of their 'friends' to repeatedly book appointments with my business and then not turn up, they had cctv installed and focused it on our bedroom window, they verbally abused anyone who visited us. The final straw was where their DS got a job working for my landlords as a 'handyman' and repeatedly tried to access my business premises.

The police just gaslighted us and said it was 6 of 1 half a dozen of the other. It was so terrible :( - made me really ill.

Rusty - my greatest fear was near,y realised when we got a cash offer from a really really sweet young couple (very hippyish and had a business making wigs from home) who were hoping to start a family. DH said we couldn't refuse but I was very upset at the thought of bumping into her years down the line and hearing that they'd been bullied too. So happy when the tough nuts turned up.

I manage a block of retirement flats. I see and hear it all. I’d never move into a block of flats now.

I'm a great foodie Sarah, and I also like a bit of Justice on the side . Sometimes delivered naturally. Sometimes you have to co-create it though, always a bit of a faff that requires forethought, and sometimes at personal cost. What you did, like I said, Respect.

But YouCan'tArgue, not everyone can afford to live that way ...

I don't really see the washing problem tbh. My nightmare neighbour hates kids and frequently tells mine she is going to call the police and get them arrested.

Mine neighbours have a lad about 19/20 or thereabouts who has his mates over making a racket. What is it with lads that age? Loud music, smoking drugs/loud talking/laughing etc late at night knowing the neighbours next door can hear every word. The mum and dad don't care ! If my son was making that noise which was pissing off my neighbours and smoking drugs in my house I would be telling them they were old enough to move out...

If I had a lot of money I would move out and hire someone to do a lot of "noisy" building work in my current house for a few months then sell it to a family with a wife who is pregnant with twins who will have two noisy screaming babies soon...
