I was in my trailer, and someone's bass was really loud. I wasn't going to say anything, but when I took my dog out, the guy was outside yelling something to his kid, who yelled "what?" three times. I couldn't stand it, so I yelled "your kid can't hear you because your music's too loud!"

Ugh. He yelled that he can be as loud as he wants until 10:00, and he was going to turn it up; the manager's wife yelled "not if you want to keep living here!" I did tell him he was breaking the city code.

Your stories would make me feel better.

I once had an upstairs neighbor host mariachi band practice in his living room and when I asked him to stop he pretended to not know English.

Mine threw an actual tantrum when we wanted to build a privacy fence. She wanted to know where she was going to throw her snow in the winter if we built one. (Uhhh...)

She also walked onto our yard to shovel a path through our yard for the mailman.

I am so looking forward to building a fence in the front. She is going to be so pissed.

I had a neighbor who wore a stretched-too-thin speedo while he rode an exercise bike on his deck for eight hours a day, chainsmoking Marlboros and slamming Diet Cokes, listening to End if the World talk radio while reading dime store westerns, right outside my kitchen window.

I know...quite the mental picture. Now imagine him turning the bike every few hours, so he could tan evenly.

Really nice guy, but very odd.

I spent a lot of time at that window out of necessity, but I was really happy for him when the weight started to come off.

He was also very, very hairy. Very hairy.

Our old man in a speedo would ride his bike in the neighborhood. We called him “body beautiful”. He did almost everything 8n his speedo.

And no, his body was not beautiful.

Can't compete with that. Neighbors to the left were the ones with the theoretical pigs (now gone) and chickens (doing ok) and the new ones behind that hung red lights everywhere and have two cats, seem to be ok, for now. Of course, we're perfecto and nobody could possibly have any complaints about us whatsoever. Fact.

We had a neighbor that did not get along with another neighbor. She thought he killed her cat.

We would listen to her complaints so I think she felt we were on her side.

I went outside one afternoon and found a very colorful cardboard sign staked in our yard facing the “cat killer’s” yard that said “THERES A CAT KILLER ON THE BLOCK! GOD HELP YOU, WHOEVER YOU ARE! YOURE GOING TO NEED IT!!!!”

I ripped that thing down so fast.

I am probably the bad neighbor hate to admit. I’m sitting on my half shoveled back deck with our pet bunny while drinking wine finally using the propane fire pit I got for Christmas. In my front yard is raised garden beds where I grow vegetables in the summer and the obligatory basketball hoop at the edge of the yard. My autistic sons favorite pastime in the summer is spraying the hose at very low traffic street. I have taught him to stop spraying when a car goes by.

Our neighbors are generally pretty good, although there was one time when we had a Christmas party and some late-arriving guests asked if we were aware that the neighbors' son and his friends were doing blow in a car parked in front of our house... But they're moving this summer so maybe I'll have some good bad neighbor stories in a few months.

None of our neighbors have done anything outlandish. Other than the night I thought the ceiling fell in our house, the boom shook our house so hard. It seems the police were doing a drug raid next door, with the neighbor kid getting several years prison time.

Now my mother had a very weird, but interesting neighbor. He mowed his yard, and tilled his garden at night. And I mean at dark. Apparently he didn't like people to look at him. (there was nothing strange looking about him, just ordinary guy). The one thing that flummoxed all of us..he had trenches beside every row in his garden. I don't mean a few inches. All the trenches were 3 to 4 FEET deep! :blink:

The lady across the street chainsmokes while walking her reactive aggressive purse dog back and forth on the street. We live at the end of a short dead end street, so instead of it looking like she is walking the dog, it looks like she’s patrolling the end of her driveway.

I'm pretty sure I'm the bad neighbor. DH likes to gather things "just in case" he needs them one day (and usually he does need them...two weeks after I've thrown it out). So there's usually a whole bunch of random crap in the yard. But right now the whole neighborhood looks like shit, so I'm not too worried.

We're probably the bad neighbors. We put in a speed bump (very low, it sticks up about 2 inches at most) at the start of our property. We live on a small, one lane dirt road that the people behind us feel the need to fly down. The bump also serves the purpose of routing rain water down our side yard as after one of the idiots took it upon himself to tear up the road it was draining directly down our driveway and into the house.

By the way, one of the neighbors felt the need to call the cops, property appraiser, and threatened not to pay his mortgage because of the speed bump. Our property line includes the road in front of our house, we simply have to provide access to the people behind us. All the people he called told him we were within our rights and to quit giving us a hard time, didn't stop him from pulling out the speed bump and running over our private property signs.

Our neighbor in the next building has a terrible time with the people upstairs from him. They're very loud and completely don't care that they're disturbing him. Plus they've now flooded water into his unit twice and the second time was because they didn't hire a plumber the first time as they were required to do. They taunt him with noise, too. When he was in the hospital I slept in his unit and cared for his cats. One day he had me take his car and visit him in rehab and I believe they saw the car had been moved and thought he was home. The noise was unreal that evening, before it had just been normal sounds like footsteps but that night, furniture moved back and forth across the living room for over an hour and then I would swear they were rolling a bowling ball back and forth.

I had a potential bad neighbor situation I nipped in the bud right after I moved to my new house. The neighbor girl's boyfriend parked in the grass along my driveway. I placed a driveway marker there along with a couple more down the driveway. I occasionally knock on down as I back down the drive so I looks like I need them there to keep from driving off the driveway. I don't need them, but it's stopping him from parking there.

Neighbour, is that you?

Our driveway gets narrower towards the road, and if DH swipes my spot nearer the house I drive over the edge of our neighbour's front lawn more often than not. I try not to, but judging space isn't my strong suit. :$

I thought I didn't have one, but I do. We had a family rent the house across from us for a couple of years. He was around seventy, some kind of doctor and as creepy af. She was nice enough, Russian and in her early thirties. I thought he was her dad at first. We live on a relatively busy road, and he would literally just launch out of his driveway without looking, causing drivers to screech to a stop and honk at him. You could tell when he was leaving the house because of the honking. A guest of ours got sick and left in an ambulance (allergy to bee sting not my cooking) and a few days later he came over demanding to know why we hadn't called on him, because he's a doctor.
"Umm, because we don't know you wacko and stop staring at my boobs." Ok, in reality I just stared him down until he left. It turns out he had some kind of medicaid/medicare fraud going on and was indicted after they moved.

We never figured out why, because the other 6 days she was a pleasant person and my mom a very cool lady.

Our current neighbor ran through about 100' of our fence while drunk. That's the only interaction I've had with him. Actually, I didnt have any interaction with him then either. He and his dad (actually a friend) were caught in the middle of the night trying to fix it and he was arrested. They fixed the fence though.

My last neighbors (when we lived in town) made it really difficult to sell our house. They would invite a bunch of friends over and they would all pull their trucks up onto their lawn and lift the hoods. I suppose to work on them. They would blare their music and do a bunch of redneck stuff. We finally asked them to just stop until we could get the house sold because buyers were saying they liked our house, but wouldnt live across from "that". They were cool about it.

When PM and I first got married, we lived in an apartment with an interesting collection of neighbors. We were probably the bad neighbors for the single guy behind us, as our bedroom shared a wall with his living room and we were newlyweds who waited for marriage so...yeah...

The other neighbors were a mom and her 8 year old son. They used to have full-on screaming matches loaded with expletives. Yes, the 8yo used them, too. The one that sticks out in my mind was when he'd repeatedly scream "Do it, you fucking f****t!" She never corrected him, just screamed more loudly.

I was so glad when we found a rental closer to our jobs!

Our worst neighbors were a rock band we lived in the townhouse next to while in college. They were full-time musicians and practiced from about 9am to 5-6pm. I will give them this--they never once played past 6pm and were otherwise wonderful neighbors. If we'd been typical 9-5ers, it would have been a good setup. But we had erratic schedules as students. Plus I often worked nights. The music just became background noise, or you had a psychotic break.

P.S. My superpower is being able to fall asleep through anything.

We live beside H's brother who hates both of us. He taught his dog to poop in our yard and bragged about it. He used to bitch to H when my family came over. He would also walk in our house and snoop around looking to see how messy it was and have the most smug face when he found something. I was unfortunately spineless at the time and H is still working to find his. Most recently, after a year long fight with H's mother, he texted H "Let me tell u something u haven't seen the Devil I am so tired of mom crying" I looked about a restraining order because I felt like that was a threat and even though it has been months I still have a fear of him and what he means by that. Thankfully we do have cameras.

The other bad neighbor is one who shot fireworks in our cul-de-sac at 3 in the morning on a weeknight. They also have farm animals and one Saturday while H was out pressure washing the house he looked around and there was a huge bull in our yard. H's brother (this was when he was acting less like an asshole) went down to the person's house and their kid answered the door. He told the kid he needed to get his parents to get the bull. The kid said "Well it's kind of a lazy day around here". BIL was not impressed and emphasized that it needed to be taken care of. Their cow has gotten out a couple of times too.

Our neighbors throw trash over their fence in to our back yard and are fond of holding dance parties with their very young children to very bassy music in their driveway at 11:00 at night.

But my mailbox has to take the cake. Their guest backed in to my mailbox and completely obliterated it. And then they took off. Another neighbor witnessed it, so when we confronted them, they continued to deny it until we told them there were witnesses. They refused to pay to fix it and said it was our problem. Long story short, we ended up having to call the cops about it, just so we could get information to chase down the guest who lived in another state and get her to pay.

Then a couple of months later, the neighbor messaged me on Next Door to give some backhanded apology about how this was all my fault, BUT she wanted to let bygones be bygones and start fresh. Yeah, no. I ignored the message and continue to ignore them.

Things have been tense since then.

We live in the city and were having issues with prostitutes and dealers conducting their business in the stairwell behind our house that leads to the basement. We eventually decided to install a private driveway and a 6' fence along the front of the property, leaving the existing back fences intact and untouched. DH went to our alderman and to the city to get all of the necessary permits. They were granted and we started construction.

The man who lived in the house behind ours (and on a different street entirely) thought he was the Boss of the Block and was most put out that DH did not come to him, hat in hand, and beg for permission to install the fence. He would walk all the way around the block to stand in front of our house and harass the workers doing the installation. We heard through the grapevine that he called the city to get it shut down but the told him to MYOB apparently. I think he thought we lived in an HOA (false) and he was the Dude in Charge (also false). I don't know who he thought died and made him King but he was a pain in the ass.

When I was growing up, we had a neighbor across the street who was the biggest busybody. She knew everything that was going on with everyone and was a huge tattletale. I had a boyfriend my senior year and the rule was, no boys in the house when my parents weren't home. Well, one day, they went to run errands and my BF picked me up to go to the movies. He had to use the bathroom so instead of making him pee outside, I let him in. We were out the door and on our way 2-3 minutes later. Busybody got my mom as soon as they pulled into the driveway to let them know I had a BOY in the house (conveniently leaving out the part where it was for less than 5 minutes)! I explained the deal but Mom gave me the side eye for a while.

But she got hers one day. My next door neighbors had 5 kids, the youngest being my age. One night when I was in HS, a couple of cops showed up next door. We lived in the middle of BFE, so this was a Big Deal. They didn't stay long though and my mom asked NDN mom the next day if everything was okay.

Turns out, they were having a retirement party for the family's aunt and Busybody, noticing the many cars, decided the kids were throwing a raging kegger and called the cops. I don't think they were very impressed to be called out to break up a pretty tame party with a bunch of grownups and gave her a little lecture about MYOB.

When I lived in the apartment I had from 1997-2009, I had an assortment of noisy upstairs neighbors, including The Galloping Toddler (06:00-22:00 daily... bip bip bip bip bip bip bip...), The Garage Band (who thought "Whoa" was a great lyric and worked it to death), The Locked Out Drunk Guy ("I FORGOT MY KEYS! LET ME IN!"), the Domestic Abuse Couple (their thing involved turning the radio up and down repeatedly during the argument until eventually she drove off in his car with him screaming after her), and the Atheletes, who could hump for hours (squeaky squeaky squeaky donk donk donk donk). Next door I also had The Felonious Family (stole mail from my porch, stole my kid's YuGiOh cards while playing), the mentally ill guy who had a day-long standoff with the cops, Angry Face Tattoo Guy, and the idiots who smoked outside my open window and argued about stuff like giving beer to a 5 year old. Oh, and downstairs? VH1 Guy, who would have it on top volume 24-7.

I called the cops a lot.

Years ago we lived in a nice quiet neighborhood, one day when husband was at home he answered the door to find 30+ police and SWAT teams. They politely asked if they could go into our backyard because the neighbor behind us had a hugh math lab business and they were ready to arrest him. They calmly told husband to stay in the house and away from the windows in case of gunfire.

That reminds me one of the houses down the street has chickens and a rooster, the girls occasionally get out and it's funny to see them strutting on the sidewalks.

They're not bad neighbors at all.
