What Bugs You About Your Neighbors?

I only know one of my neighbors, and I have no problems with him. The others all keep very much to themselves. I live in an attached condo on the second story and have not seen or heard any of my other neighbors. I have a feeling that my girlfriend and I are the loudest people in the building by far. I'm waiting for the day that we receive complaints for noise, although we can't really help it. I'm not used to walking softly and there's no way I'm listening to music with headphones on when I have a perfectly good stereo. :D

I'm just thankful that I don't live near a bunch of party animals. I value my peace and quiet. :)
 
Our neighbor across the street is so damn stupid. She doesn't know what a leash is, so her dogs run around. They knock over our garbage cans to eat the garbage (and we have to clean it up). They run out into the street in front of cars. Nearly every time I try to leave, one of her dumb dogs runs in front of my car, I have to slam on my brakes, and the little wanker will just sit there in front of my car and ignore me honking my horn. The entire time, this bimbo is standing out there, laughing (she has the most annoying laugh) because she thinks anything her little mutt does is cute, even if he nearly gets hit by a car. I have to be real careful at night, because I'm always worried I'll hit the damn thing. She's just dumb overall. She's your basic stay at home mom/trophy wife/lazy snob, and my sister who used to babysit for them, said the dad is a very controlling person, and she just goes along with it. I guess she enjoys the money he brings home.
 
The guy over in 604 who has a talking car alarm that goes off whenever a bird craps on it.

The asshats that barbeque (and I narced them last night) with a propane grill in the unit near us (illegal).

The screaming kid downstairs.

The people behind us who STOMP their way up the stairs in the breezeway at 2 a.m.

The crazy people across the hall who leave their dirty gym clothes in tfront of their door.

I hate it here. :)
 
I hate my famous NY Met baseball player neighbor who has his whole family living in a 2 BR condo, speak no English, walk like they have lead feet, strew their garbage everywhere but in the trash bins, drink like fish, have a baby who screams 22 hours a day. Other than that, they are nice people.
 
On the right, we've got a nice retired couple who sent us a plate of cookies every Christmas. On the left, though, we've got psychotic lawn-manacure-ers who spray every toxic chemical imaginable on their lawn and once chased salamanders with hammers because they were afraid they'd grow into alligators. :eek:
 
ya know the neighbors that are constantly yelling at each other, whose yard looks like crap, whose dad stands in the front yard crying for awhile whenever he comes to visit, and whose asphalt driveway is basically gravel by now? that's us. fortunately the houses in my neighborhood are very far apart so hopefully no one cares too much :eek:
my neighbors do some annoying stuff, such as the guy to our right who is the CRANKIEST old man i know and whose yard is basically woods, but mainly theyre pretty cool.
 
One of my neighbors threatened to kill my dog and burn my house down with me and my family in it.

He went to the looney bin multiple times. Is apparently moving back in next door. Still probably wants to kill us all, but i would encourage him to try just so i can stab him. But that is another story.

My other neighbors seem to be from the woman's shelter for abused women. She is addicted to some sort of drugs and has a bunch of kids, annoying kids.

And the one downstairs neighbor to the battered woman uses RC cars in the backyard and they are ridiculously loud so i am tempted to get a sniper rifle and pick them off.


I have the best neighbors ever!!!
 
Our neighbors never throw balls back when they go over our fence into their yards. They must have stockpiled thousands of them by now.

Come to think of it, they both have dogs. Maybe the dogs think we've giving them new chew toys!
 
I'm fine with most of my neighbors. Except this one girl on the left of us comes over constantly and asks to play with my sister. She also has asked to come to the movies with us when my sister wasn't even home. Also her mom's boyfriend plays loud country music some of the night. It has indeed gotten a lot better, however. Otherwise all the other neighbors keep to themselves and are quiet for the most part.
 
to the right we have the chinese family whose mother is creeped out my the ivy growing from out garden up her wall, which i'm so not cutting down.

to the left we have a huge family, bit chavy but they are cool, only play loud music at ok times, and we do whenever they do so it's all good, oh and none of them have been arrested in a fair while, we get on well.

everywhere elce is fairly quiet, but like 5 years ago some guy shot 6 bullets into this guy across the roads door, which is apparently bad etiquette as the guy who did it's father lives next door, and that gave put his father in an awkward social position, no one seemed to care about the whole gun crime bit.
 
Dumb jocks above us.
Dumb jocks below us.
Dumb jocks to the left of us.
Dumb jocks to the right of us.

Well, actually nobody to the right of us. But the rest is true. :mad:
 
All my neighbours are really good except the idiot who lives right underneath me and the dead end who lives beside me. Both like to go on their balconies at 2-3 in the morning to smoke something that smells like burned tires combined with skunk musk and argue about the days sports events , my bedroom window is right in the crossfire of their stimulating conversation and stench. The idiot downstairs play his porn flicks at really loud volume so my entire floor moves, needless to say I cant have any guests over during the day when he watches them.
The other neighbours are great, we watch each others cats, share baked goodies, and at least greet each other in the hallways.
 
My apartment complex is really well sound-proofed, so I generally have no complaints about my neighbours. I just wish that the guy in the apartment above me would stop over-watering his plants on his balcony, because the water drips down onto my balcony and gets dirt all over the place.

;) Same here. Nice isn't it?

Yeah the cows moo pretty loud sometimes, but otherwise they're decent neighbors. Haven't had them over for a BBQ yet though...
 
Bad neighbors: I hate the way they pull down the shades when I'm hiding in the bushes outside their houses. And the ones that call the cops before I can make off with their TV set. And the ones that don't want to "share" the magazines in their mailbox. And the worst - the ones who wash their own cars but don't offer to wash mine! :( ;)

Actually, the only problem we've had with neighbors recently is that the kids across the street set up a lemonade stand but had got bored and closed up shop before we showed up to support their fledgling business.
 
the neighbors are fine but the previous occupant of the apartment was a problem. He'd lived in the place for 10 years and towards the end of his occupancy he got into using drugs....and then selling drugs.....and then he was running a "rent boy" service out of the apartment. Ultimately the landlord tossed him out.

For a while after we moved in, we had junkies showing up at all hours desperately wanting to buy a fix, pounding on the door, pounding on the neighbors door, yelling, etc......and the police showed up several times as well.

That happened at the place my parents bought a long time ago. People were showing up wanting to buy some of the *wink wink* matresses. :rolleyes:
 
Oh my gosh, don't get me started about my Neighbors (the the left os us) EVERY garbage day, for some reason, they HAVE to put there garbage on our lawn, like it's a crime to have garbage or soemthing or they don't want to be seen with garbage. Once they were cleaning there house, so they have like 12 bags. Insteade of makeing a large pile on our lawn, they lined the bags all around our lawn. It irratates me SO MUCH!

Another thing about them, is that, there care is in the driveway alot of the time, and we cant get in the back, so we ring there door bell, and they don't answer. However if it's us in the drive way we "HAVE" to answer or else the police will be called. They ring the bell at like 1:00AM!!!

The Neighbors to the right of us just moved in. They seem really really nice. Best of all, they speak 100% english!!!
 
I live in an apartment building, elevator to one side and 2 guys on my left who smoke weed and/or sheesha 4-5 nites a week. mmm smells good :D.
 
I live in the bottom half of a two level apartment and the guys upstairs sound like they have some sort of party every single night. It would be more tolerable if they started when I was asleep since I'm a bit of a heavy one, but nooo, they have to be running around the house and blaring music at 8:00 PM. :rolleyes:

I wish my neighbors would keep their lawns edged and have their cars off the street on street sweeper day. What about you?

They are all republicans. I shouldn't have bought such a nice house. Gives me the creeps to see all the blue signs during elections. And of course none of their gifted offspring are fighting in any wars.
Other than that they are nice.
