I figured this is something that everyone must have experienced at some point in their lives, right? Bastards for neighbours.
With the recent activity surrounding mine and TRiPPY's neighbours i figured why not start a topic about it to see how many of you guys suffer from the same thing.

Basically, for those that don't know, we live in a row/block of flats/apartments and we are surrounded by idiots.
We have a bunch of losers downstairs who sing VERY loudly until ungodly hours of the morning. Their choice of song isn't bad but they really REALLY can't sing. I mean, i know i can't sing...but damn man...these people really must be on crack on an around-the-clock basis for themselves to think that they have a singing voice.

Then above us we have one huge dude with a huge wife and a huge dog who obviously can't communicate through the use of speech so the just shout "Muuugh" and "Guuuuh!" all f*!*ing day long. And they can't figure out how to use doorhandles so they just slam all the doors and it literaly shakes our room. No lie, our computer monitor shakes whenever they slam a door shut.

Also, the neighbours above us are rude beyond belief. I said hello to them as i walked by them outside in the garden and all i got was a screw-face (screw-face meaning to be angry, just in case you thought it meant something else). They have been building SOMETHING for the last week gone and we have no idea what the hell it could be because everyday they're hammering and drilling something. What could it have been? A wardrobe? A bed, maybe? Do those items really hoenstly take over a week of solid work on a daily basis to build? There ain't that much room in these flats so it couldn't have been anything bigger than a bed.
And because of all the banging and hammering and god knows what else they've been doing to their flat, a pipe from their washing machine had come loose last night and they left the washing machine on and went out....thus flooding our kitchen which is directly bellow theirs. So, the entire day yesterday was spent trying to get in contact with them but no reply. We posted a note through their door telling them what has happened and could they come to see us the very second they read it. Well, they've been home for over 12 hours now and we can hear their fat arses walking about upstairs yet they have not come to see the damage they have made. Stupid gumps probably don't even know how to read.

These neighbours suck major balls. Man, i can't wait to move from here.

Anyways, yes. Neighbours in general. We all have them.
How are YOUR neighbours?

[MidgitLD]

Mostly all family, who like drop in unannounced to borrow stuff or ask about things that I have no clue over. Across the road and the field (there's a small field right in front of my house across the road), there's some cousins who have way more dogs than should be legal that cut up in the middle of the night and get dogs here acting up. Not to mention the random explosion and gunshot noises.

Of course, then there's my brother's dog who keeps coming over. And then my mom's cousin's dog who comes over to mooch.

Sometimes, family neighbors can be just as annoying.

O-O...


Everyone knows how much i hated my last neighbours lol.

EDit- whoops this is TRiPPY in the wrong account >_>

EDiT from DiGi - ....you really need to stop doing that dear. ¬_¬

The only neighbor problems I have with my neighbors, is that their dog will NOT SHUT UP!!! It'll bark and bark RELENTLESSLY the whole day. THE WHOLE DAY, I TELL YOU!!!! The worst part...it's not a big dog. It yaps. That's right, not barks, but yaps.

[Leonhart]

Awww, i thought this was about the show v_v

We just moved, so i have no idea about my new neighbours.....but i bet their crazy. Always with the crazy.

We have a bunch of losers downstairs who sing VERY loudly until ungodly hours of the morning. Their choice of song isn't bad but they really REALLY can't sing.

Much lulz xD

[infractus]

I don't envy you and TRiP, DiG' ...that must suck, especially since they don't really seem to care what they're doing. A decent person would at least *try* to address the situation and make it right. At least it was the kitchen and not all over what work you guys have done for Engelbaum.

When I was away for college, I had a neighbor who used to sneak dogs into her apartment -- I'm guessing whenever her boyfriend came to visit. It didn't bother me, but some other guy in the complex was giving her a hard time about it. All in all, the scenario was relatively entertaining to watch.
The neighbors across the patch of grass from me had this boy, who I really am starting to think was antisocial and/or autistic. He used to play by himself, usually carrying around a hammer to hit trees with (what a jerk) or hitting golf balls with a parking lot not even several yards away (oh, you wouldn't believe how I was ready to tear his throat out if he damaged my vehicle), and other days, he'd kick a soccer/football up against the wall and when it bounced, he'd let it mow over my beautiful little flowers and plants I had trying to grow in my front yard. Whenever the other neighborhood kids tried to play with him, he'd boss them around to no end. He had entertaining moments, though - like marching around the neighborhood humming into a Kazoo. Other than that, he was nothing but a pain.
The neighbors right next door to me were Asian and kept mostly to themselves... but they would scream and yell at each other, slam doors and other bizarre activities. They finally moved out once the female looked extremely pregnant, my own private lulz are that I was in my own bathroom the night I heard the conception.

I moved out not too much longer after that..

Here at home, my neighbors to the right are Scientologists. The wife, who I like, seems to be more a free-spirited artist than practicer and makes KILLER chili, but her husband is kind of odd. It's more troubling than anything.

[MidgitLD]

O-O...

XD Yeah. We thought it was just gunshots from a different gun, but we were later informed by one of the cousins living there (ie one of those unannounced visits WITHOUT ANY WARNING) that it was just them making small homemade bombs to explode in the yard for kicks. I believe they were the of the dry ice variety, if I remember correctly.

[wyldflowa]

In my old flat I had an idiot chav one side who'd play crap like Cascada very loudly until stupid-o-clock of the night, talking loudly to her equally chavvy friends. Hello? If you need to SHOUT to speak to a person sitting next to you TURN YOUR FGKING MUSIC DOWN. She used to stomp down the hallway like an elephant too - she was just one big lump of unpleasent noise pollution. On the other side was a eyeliner emo cutter slag bitch who'd play her sh!t music really loud and invite her god awful f*ckbuddy male friend who could. Not. Sing. to do duets with drunken in the middle on the night... He used to live across the courtyard from me so even when he wasn't next door catawalling/fighting/throwing plates around/cutting/having sex with eyeliner bitch, I got to enjoy his sweet voice and talented guitar playing through the window.

Where I am now the only annoyance I have is that my housemate seems to have an allergy to washing up cutlery. He'll do the rest of the dishes but never the cutlery. It's always like some slimey, lumpy, luke-warm lucky dip to try and find that elusive last tablespoon at the bottom of the sink in the morning when I'm having cereal. He doesn't properly scrape his plate either so theres always a ton of saturated food reminants in there which bugs me too as I seem to be the only one who picks the bits of onion and rice and half eaten chips out the plughole when the damn thing won't drain. His dogs also pee on my stuff sometimes. But I can forgive animals, they know nothing better. They should be trained better by a more responsible owner... =_=

I'm not even getting started on my mother, she's possibly the worst neighbour/housemate anyone can have.


Hopefully my next move will give me better neighbours/housemates... hopefully...

[Metaria]

Lulz. I don't have nearly as interesting neighbors...but then, my closest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away.

All of my neighbors, no matter who they are, seem to be unable to keep their dogs on their property. And these are dogs bred for hunting/guard work. The pack of beagles I can deal with. They're harmless, friendly, and the most they've ever actually done is tree a bobcat in my front yard. The Rottweiler, who seems to have been trained in Polish, is a real problem. I've caught it sneaking up behind me getting ready to attack. It's killed most of the quail that occasionally take up residence, along with other animals.

And then there's the annual Fifth of July livestock roundup, with all the mules/cattle that got spooked by the fireworks the neighbors set off on the Fourth. No matter how many times the animals run away because of the fireworks, the neighbors always seem surprised that they would.

[Diogothedreamer]

I like my neighbours because of how much fun some of them are!.

For example I have this irish gentleman who lives on the ground floor on the side of my window and he usually gets drunk a lot. When that happens he hangs up christmas lights and puts on lots of loud music which is mostly irish.He also comes out to the garden and starts dancing and at times even goes on all night.

Also have a neighbour like you DiGi that likes to start hammering things after midnight and I can still hear it even though it is two floors below!

The thing is once I fall asleep nothing can problably wake me up so it doesnt make much difference and at least everone is friendly, well considering it is a city.

[Cerulean Lee]

The only problems we've ever had with our neighbors was at the place I lived two moves ago. We were there for twelve years and for most of the time we had the same people to the west. Then they moved out and here came a new family. They'd keep this huge dog behind a fence that would bark at my dad and my brother when they came in the backyard. My brother was terrified of dogs at the time. And I guess all the other women in the neighborhood were irritated because the lady would mow the yard in a string bikini?

They have a pool in their backyard, and we had a row of old cottonwood trees between their house and ours. They asked us to cut down all those trees because the cotton would get in their pool for the couple weeks they started dropping seed, and told us they would pay $200 dollars to do it. The removal of those trees would have cost thousands. So when my parents refused, they threatened to call the city and have the trees forcibly removed. Last time I went down there a few weeks ago, the trees were still there.

The neighbors in the apartment I live in now are all right. The kids in one of the apartments have been destroying the security lobby. They even broke the glass in the door, thankfully that was replaced the next day.

[Zero-Shift]

When it comes l to living in my house, I've never really had any neighbor problems. Dorm life at college on the other hand is a whole different story. I've had to deal with more douche bags than I care to count.

Sounds like the neighbors across us, expect they wanted us to cut down our birch trees because... the woman was "allergic to pollen". Did I mention we have trees and nature all around us, and having pollen allergy means you react to more or less everything there? Yeah. The man offered to cut down the trees himself, which was just "NO" since, er, careless cutting = risk hitting any of the houses here.

Later it turned out that the real reason they wanted the trees gone was that they didn't want shadows to fall over their frontyard. Okay, understandable, expect that their backyard has sun more or less all day! Which they realized, thank god.

A former neighbor spied on everything and everyone. Like, my sister would come home after a party and the day after the woman would "report" to mum about how "ZOMG did you know your child was out late?" Never mind that mum ALREADY knew and didn't care because sis was responsible and could take care of herself.

[Musashi_HUmar]

My neighborhood is made up of families with a bunch of little kids. It gets pretty damn annoying. They run around and drop stuff in our yard. They ride their bikes through our yard and in our drive way(as in, all the way to the garage in our driveway), they're always climbing over our fence because they lose balls in our yard, and when they run around, it feels like an earthquake when I'm on the computer because my computer is on the level of my tri-level that's below the ground. And some times, we have morons blowing off fireworks whenever they feel like. I can't wait to move!

Care to trade?

[Arctides]

I live in a dormitory. With paper-thin walls. You do not want to know the things I have heard.

Everything from the guy next door thinking he's capable of getting a record deal.. to a young woman one floor down engaging in obnoxiously loud 'intimate' activities.

[Nyx]

I've got one house behind mine that has two teenage boys. These boys like to invite an unbelievable amount of friends over to play ball in their backyard. Even though there is a perfectly good, empty ball field -- two actually -- that they could be using instead of batting/kicking/throwing at all of the houses in the area.

They used to walk around, ring the doorbell, and ask to fetch the ball politely, but then they started jumping OVER the bloody fence, grabing the ball, and jumping back over the fence. I'm sure that they'll break it one of these days. Plus they're loud, foul-mouthed, and VERY rude.

The neighbors across from my front yard are nice people, but they decided to play golf toward my house.

Okay, I'm done ranting, and I feel much better, now.

[Maki Izumii]

for an apartment-dweller, I've got pretty tame neighbours. My housemate probably gives them a little grief with his home theatre system (he likes to have things stupidly loud when he watches them), but the worst I get is the occasional loud bollywood music or a vacuum cleaner..

[Rhapsody]

This reminds me of my neighbors. They're just about the nicest neighbors I've ever had, but they have one problem - They have too many pets for their house size. They have four dogs (two big ones, a terrier, and a pit puppy that has gotten big really quickly... ) a hamster, a ferret, a rabbit, some fish, and a bird. It's the dogs that really bother me, though. One of the dogs is an extremely violent Doberman that has tried to attack me on many occasions.

[Purgatory]

My neighbour likes to make black powder bombs so strong they set of car alarms down the street and blow them up in front of his flat- which is right by my rather thin bedroom window- at random intervals throughout the day and of course on random days so there's no way of predicting his madness. His son is my neighbour who lives directly across from my window and likes to play loud shitty music ranging from really bad techno to traditional drunken Irish tunes with his door open. Every so often they randomly get together and plot out some retarded barbecue where they play loud music and blow sh!t up simultaneously.

They make me wish I had the courage to go out there and face two pink, constantly drunk Irishmen and beat them into the pavement.

Alas, we have all seen One-Punch Mickey...

[Shia Hatsune]

My neighborhood is full of rich people, and there's this one guy who has about 5 old fashioned cars, and likes to drive them around O:

Anyway, we have a pond next to our house, and the people in the house across the pond are really annoying. They set off these big fireworks (which are illegal in this side of America) and one actually backfired and flew right at the people who were sitting on the deck watching them. I laughed in a sadistic sort of way.

Also, those people throw grass clippings and hockey goals into our pond. >__>

But! Our other neighbors are really nice. They have 3 little boys, and they all play together, and have fun XD they're really cute. They think my brother is really cool because he has real and fake guns. And they try to be like him and take out water guns, and aim them at him XD

The rest of our neighbors are quiet. Except for the chickens D:

[DAiLiGHT]

My neighbors to the right of my house are pretty odd. They stay inside all day and night, only coming out at the weirdest times (like during a thunderstorm or at like, midnight) to mow their lawn. If you say hello to them they give you this zombified, blank stare and just go back to mowing.

Their lawn always looks fantastic, I have to say.

[Moonlighttrill]

Well I live in a semi-attached house, and the neighbours im connected to are pretty quiet. Last year thouh they felt like doin renovations at 330 in the morning, and since my family goes to camp while i work during the summer, they didnt know they were keeping me up. bastards.

Then the neihbours who has a connected lawn to us. oh boy thats trouble. Originally we had a motorboat in that space before they came in. Our old nieghbours didnt care. When these INSANELY obese people moved in they complained about he boat. We didn't mind so we moved it. 2 week later THEY PUT A MOTORBOAT THERE! Wow was my dad livid. SO there was a huge fight. Now there's a fence between the yards the neighbors put up without our permission, which, btw, is placed WRONG. We left it as that since we are more civilized than these guys, but if they piss us off again we're just gonna say they put a fence on our property without permission (since it cuts deep into our yard) YAY FOR ZONING LAWS:D

Funny story now....

Once i had my pet rabbit and was taking him outside for some real air (he lives in my basement with me) and the mother of that family was outside. She seen my rabbit and screamed OMG A RABBIT! (i thought she was gonna grab him and try to chow down on my Midnight *his name*. Instead she waddled over and said 'i never seen a rabbit in my life!' (who'd have thought, a 50+ year old obese woman from canada, NEVER IN HER LIFE seen a rabbit?) Now my rabbit's a docile guy, very mellow, like permastoned but social for a rabbit. He seen her coming and started going CRAZY trying to jump out of my arms. He did and ran right for the house. My dog was sitting at the door and he usually chases Midnight, who just cowers and goes the other way. Instead, Mid bolted past him and even spooked my dog while he ran back into his safe cage in the living room (he only stays in his cage upstairs, in my room he is litter trained so runs free).

Moral of the story children? Obese people who eat only MacDonald's scare socially superior rabbits.
