Well heres your chance to rant/vent/tell stories of neighbors you have/had that annoyed the heck out of you or are/were the source of a nice horror story, or simply made you do this ---->:headbang:


heres mine:

I have just been woken up for the umpteenth time in the past six months by the guy who has the dorm room next to mine. despite asking nicely and when that failed calling the night security to ask him to be quiet he continues to be noisy at ungodly hours of the night. I have had it, I don't know what else to do. I just want a decent nights sleep:(

When i was around five my family had this very nosy neighbor. One day me and my friends were playing with toy guns in the back yard...and she called the police on us.

(Note that this is in the middle of the day in a suburb)

I am pretty sure I win on annoying neighbors. Between them trying to set my house on fire twice, shooting at my dog, and aiming a potato cannon at my bedroom window at 3am.....yeah, they pretty much sucked.

I totally went and woke them up early on moving day, brought them donuts and shoved them politely out of my neighborhood. ;)

neighbour in my last place thought he was the love-child of Jimi Hendrix and Santana and felt the need to share his 'talents' with everyone within 1/2 k range every Sunday.
The issue here was that he wasn't so much the love-child of Jimi Hendrix and Santana but more the love-child of a retarded monkey and an industrial skill-saw.

One day, he was so loud and so bad that someone stood downstairs and yelled, "Turn that fucking shit off!". To which he turned his amp up even more. The yeller then called the police who came round and confiscated his amp for a week.

Yeah, you win.

We've had construction going on the past couple of months involving the demolishing of nearby warehouses, just across the road. So we've had to endure heavy metals and asbestos flying around plus more mundane things like incessant crashing and shaking.

Well, when I was a kid, I used to live in a townhouse. One night I awoke to find the neighbor drilling a hole through our wall to put in some wiring. They did a lot of crazy stuff, too, like cut down a tree on our property. Their son stole my pokemon cards:upyours: what douches.

My neighbors continue to isolate us by planting bushes and trees between our house and theirs. It has really helped enhance the beauty of the neighborhood. It's amazing what chasing squirrels in my underwear(how they got in my underwar is still a mystery) can accomplish. :D

So in short, I'm the annoying neighbor. :D

One neighbour has a motorcycle, 2 dirt bikes, and 2 quads. It gets loud.

The other one, from a local "royal" family, cleans the trash out of his cars and leaves it on the ground and so it blows over to my yard. Him and his wife are so fucking ignorant.

I had a neighbor who thought it was fine to let his five dogs run the neighborhood. Like somehow his dogs weren't subject to the leash laws. doh.

When one day the dogs decided to corner one of my family members I got a gun and threatened to kill them. He called the police. To which I told the officer that I was a very good shot and if I saw another dog in my yard I would indeed kill it. He warned me not to, I smiled. He chatted to the neighbor and I never saw the dogs running loose again. :mp5:

well we had a methlab accross the street for a couple years. the cops were there like everyother night. ontime even heard one of them yell "yes i have the gun" i dont think there were any doors or windows open. well one day they got the evection notice. and they didnt leave. they arnt there now.


the real story though is about me cousins. they built a house. well one neighbor was just a dick. when they started building he must have taken an instant dislike to them. once their house was done he built a fence that was exactle 3 inches away from the property line. that no problem but then he went over and made sure my cousins knew that it was exactly 3 inches away from the line. then he complained about their house's shape for a while only to build one that looks exactly like theirs. so my cousins built their own fence.

but for some reason my cousins decided agint my suggestion to paint the side of the fence facing him a bright glow in the dark pink.

I live in a kind of dorm like place that sees a lot of international backpackers and budget business travellers, as well as a lot of Japanese who are rather internationalized (returned exchange students, people who travel extensively, etc.). Naturally, there've been some nuts and annoying folks come through.

The worst was the Brazillian couple who lived next door. I'm pretty sure he was a methhead. They were always having big screaming, throwing dishes fights in the middle of the night. One night he tried to throw her down the stairs. She got away from him and then he ran off. He ended up in Jail, IIRC, and she moved out shortly after.

The Nigerians over here buying used cars are the most consistantly annoying group, and fairly dangerous. One guy actually threatened to defenestrate me when I asked him to pick up his empty bottle of booze. The funniest story with the Nigerians was one night a bunch of them got in a big drunken fight and one of them actually threw a spear at someone! (They missed.)

Then there are the annoying acoholics. The alcoholic Canadian was "asked" to leave after he tried to break down one of the other residents doors. The alcoholic Irish guy got off the airplane, on his first day in Japan, drunk, crashed a sayonara party, tried to pick a couple of fights, and passed out. The Korean-Canadian alcoholic took a swing at me. The Korean alcoholic was probably mentally ill and screamed out in Korean at odd times of the night.

One of my friends downstair came over with his Japanese-Filipina crazy girlfriend. Fortunately she's just simply obnoxious. Unfortunately, she found out she'd gotten knocked up after they broke up, and now she comes over and gets in big arguments with him and tells people outrageous lies about him.

Among the Japanese, the annoying ones tend to be the nut cases.

There was the poor mentally disturbed woman who was engaging in public sex acts with a bunch of creeps from Australia. She was fortunately fetched by a family member. Unfortunately the creeps are still here.

There was the schizoid who didn't actually live here, but in the neigborhood. He'd traveled around the world and loved to come over and meet travellers. Unfortunately he went off his meds. I came home late one night to find him up on the roof veranda playing the bongos madly. The manager came up and kicked him out. The next day there was a big drama with a buch of police showing up and hauling him off because he had a gun. It turned out to have been a fake.

Then there was a young college kid who was busted as a peeping tom.

I am pretty sure I win on annoying neighbors. Between them trying to set my house on fire twice, shooting at my dog, and aiming a potato cannon at my bedroom window at 3am.....yeah, they pretty much sucked.

Those were the folks who ended up over at your house in the middle of that big ice storm, right?

Heh. When I lived up in Niigata, I had a similar circumstance. There was a building going up right next to my apartment. The signal to begin work was banging on the scafolding - at 7 AM. (I'm a night owl and usually don't get up until after 10.

I had an obnoxious neighbor up there as well, fortunately, just for a couple of months. The one I remember most about him was his playing Scott McKenzie's "San Francisco" at top volume on a loop for ages early one Sunday morning.

well we had a methlab accross the street for a couple years. the cops were there like everyother night. ontime even heard one of them yell "yes i have the gun" i dont think there were any doors or windows open. well one day they got the evection notice. and they didnt leave. they arnt there now.

The winner so far.

Well, my neighbours have all been pretty sedate, except that one of my neighbours at the moment is a bit... squiffy. He emigrated here from Sri Lanka when he was 17. He joined the police force, got duped by all sorts of organised crime (although he still doesn't realise it yet) and then, bizarrely, stood for the One Nation Party in one of the federal elections (in case you don't know, One Nation is/was the fiercely xenophobic and racist party whose main aim was to re-establish the White Australia policy. Oh yes). He still fails to see the hypocrisy of this. Now he regularly comes over for tea and complains about the gay black fags. No joke.

So not horrible, just... stupid.

I AM the annoying neighbour! Every friday I have two of my mates come over and we jam with our guitars and drums until about 10PM. Well, last friday night me and my mate were playing at about 9 PM, all covers of metallica, slayer and a few originals in my shed, when my wife opens the door in her nighty and says one of my drunken neighbours has come over complaining, he's standing behind her right now looking quite :upyours:d off!

I explained to him that we can technically practice until 11 PM on friday nights without getting into shit with the law, but that we usually stopped playing at 10:00 just to be fair to the neighbours, and he says that he's had enough, that he has to get up early Saturday morning (he's unemployed so he feels the need to do everything on Saturday mornings:confused:) and wants a good nights sleep.

Anyway, we worked out a deal where we will only play till 9 PM every Friday or during Saturday arvos, which seems to satisfy him, so who knows, maybe I have averted a neighbourhood war!:D

Well i get to listen to drunks wobble past outside my window ( i live about four floors up from groundlevel), which is really really irritating, i've considered ear plugs but the trouble is if i use them i won't hear my alarm clock in the morning. Sometimes it's funny as they try to work out how to use their phones or catch a cab, sometimes it's just plain disgusting.

The thing I hate most are those tiny irritating dogs (rats) who bark all night keeping me awake. Don't the owners hear this too? (They could be deaf since I don't know them...)

Oh, Oh, Oh.
I think I'm going to win on this one.
So, In my last appartment, I lived in this old 6 story building in the center of town. We had this thai "massage" place downstairs, and they had their private quarters right above me. It was basically a whore house. How do I know? The first time I heard loud "aaah's" I went to complain, only to have the door openned by a half naked thai lady, and i could clearly hear at least 3 different couples. And there was a guy giving her money too. Well, I tried to ignore this. But then we had this wierd Nepalese family that moved in, and they had their own i don't know what animal, but it's stench came over to my appartment. And they didn't really understand English or Finnish, so it was a waste of time to ask them to do anything about it.
So, I lived in that appartment for a couple of months with a whore house above my room, so i couldn't sleep, due to the loud noises, and couldn't really breathe due to some animals stench.
But then, I got the alcoholic, that came to live a floor under me, and they constantly yelled, and threw stuff around, or sometimes would come to other people's houses, completely smashed, and occasionally nude. Scary stuff.
And a couple of weeks after that, some crazy grandma with loads of cats moved to the highest floor, and she let her cats out all the time, so you'd find a cat lying in front of your door, or if you kept your door open for too long without noticing it, you'd have a cat or two in your appartment, and the crazy lady would come and yell at you for stealing and kidnapping her babies.

I lived in that appartment for another 2 months and moved away.
A whore house, an undetermined animal, crazy streaking drunks, and a batshit insane cat lady.
Fun!

My neighbors across the street let all of thier animals run loose around the neighborhood at all times day and night; they however get angry when my cat is on thier lawn and have shot him with bee bee guns on more than one occasion, but its of course ok for thier rat dogs to come into my yard, get in fights with my dogs, and shit all over my front porch.
They have visitors all times of the day and night (I wonder if they sleep), these visitors are under the belief that my driveway is for them to park in (I have had several of thier cars towed at thier expense), if they don't park in my driveway they park in my yard, or right in front of my driveway so that I can not get in on my own. Only two of them live in this house but they however they feel the need to own 5 seperate vehicles and they park all up and down the street.

It gets worse.. right next door to them is their son, who every saturday night at 10:30 pm (you can set a watch by him) comes home drunk and gets in a screeming match with his live in girlfreind. Now he is a proven drug dealer and has served two terms in county jail and 4 years in prison on various trafficking offenses; his girl has 2 kids, both that she became pregnant with WHILE HE WAS INCARCERATED and look nothing like thier 'father', but thats a different story.

Further on down the road about 2 or three houses, there lives yet another family. Once a month the cross-eyed ill tempered bitch that lives there overdoses on her prescription meds promtping an EMS response... this has gone on so often that the EMS takes up to an hour to respond at times making wonder how she lives. SHe lives with all three of her equally ill-tempered children, thier current (in?)significant others, and thier multitude of children that makes me wonder if they reproduce by budding or grow them like vegtables in a garden. The only decent one there is her husband whom I only know as Fries.

MY neighbors have convinced me that vernturing outside is not a worthwile or rewarding experience unless I am far far far away. MOral of this tale: If you have a choice DON'T LIVE IN A TRAILER COURT. I can't wait to finally get my college payed off so I can upgrade to an apartement somewhere or something.

I've had a lot of annoying neighbors but I think the woman who fed poison to my dog (an inoffensive, affectionate little thing) went past annoying. I never found proof, it was just her attitude (she hated - dogs, cats, children, teenagers, Hispanics, Blacks, college graduates, high school drop outs, gang members, the police, birds, most of her neighbors, all music (whether she could hear it or not), cars, people in cars, Christians, Jews, Muslims, Pagans and so on. If she didn't hate something it was only because she hadn't heard of it. Fortunately, she moved and now hates Arizona in addition to California.

She liked me...

I don't have annoying neighbours. I share a flat with 10 people though. However we all get on really well. Actually the only one I sometimes find annoying is the welsh girl downstairs but she is bearable.

Well heres your chance to rant/vent/tell stories of neighbors you have/had that annoyed the heck out of you or are/were the source of a nice horror story, or simply made you do this ---->:headbang:

I have had it, I don't know what else to do. I just want a decent nights sleep:(I'd love to, but the story involving my grandparents and their neighbor ends in a fatality.

Those were the folks who ended up over at your house in the middle of that big ice storm, right?

yep, they also had a Pit Bull (well, 20 of them) but one that kept getting into my back yard and getting pregnant via my dog.

Their kids were horrible, I had to call child services a few times because the parents were gone or screwing up or had gotten arrested and just never came home for 3 or 4 days.
