Urgh I feel ya. I have neighbors who have a very large and loud family and it seems like all ther family get together always happen in the back yard, (which our livingroom and bedroom windows overlook). They are constantly having huge loud parties with live music and a million kids running around screaming. Their kids are CONSTANTLY yelling and screaming at all hours of the morning. Also, their dogs are outside most of the time and will not shut up, (I LOVE dogs but this is ridiculous). I fantasize about them moving out and a nice elderly couple moving in. sigh. oh well.
Oh my goshhhh. When I lived in an apartment it was sooo annoying. We lived on the 2nd floor and there was a 300+ lb man that lived above us. He woke up every morning at like 5 AM and believe me, we knew it!
Also the walls were really thin so we could hear when the guy next door had the TV on, I guess his TV was on the wall neighboring our room. Soo annoying.
Living in our own house is like heaven lol
Haha HoneyBear a girl can dream!
Seriously these people are playing rock band and then one is following along with real drums... I CAN HEAR IT
Oooh! Yes. Well, no. They're not my neighbors anymore, thank heavens, those were some noisy people. But I have lovely stories about them and their lovemaking at god-awful hours of the morning.
They woke me up one night (of many), and man, was I miffed! I mean, it didn't even sound enjoyable, just fake and noisy. Yes, I know, some people just sound fake and noisy. I'd be fine with it sounding fake and noisy, if it weren't between the hours of 2 and 5a. Jerks.
So the girl (who I gave the name Chuckles, she had an obnoxious laugh), decides to go "Oh yes, oh yes, oh yes...". Have you seen that cartoon The Oblongs? Where the wife goes "Oh yes... JIMMINY CRICKET!" Because that's totally what I yelled after about the fifth time of Chuckles doing that.
Then, she starts talking about how she loves his ..., it's SO big. My response? "It's huge! Like the size of a toddler! ... Or something"
I yelled a few other things, and I wanted to applaud them when they finally shut up, but BF would not let me. :(
Eventually, but not that night, we called the police on them. We should have done it from the start.
That stinks. The worst neighbor I ever had was one that never stopped complaining about us, though. ;) She was the manager and seriously made my life MISERABLE for six months, until the landlord reminded her that it wasn't a convalescent home and that there is generally some noise you have to deal with when you pick a first floor apartment.
@surkim that is hilarious! I should consider calling the cops... it's wayyyy past nuisance level!
@marigold that reminds me of the family guy where the guy lives above the old lady and breathes heavy and sneezes and she starts beating on the ceiling yelling at him to quiet down up there... I can only imagine how horrible that was
We live in a complex with a lot of older people, one of which told my fiance that Jesus loved him because he was playing Metallica rock band (this made us both laugh since compared to heavier music he listens to, Metallica is practically a hymnal!)
We have one neighbor who is a nice person, but invites himself over all the time. He was over one day when FI has mentioned to me that we had to leave for a party soon (which we had told our neighbor we would be doing that day). So while I am running around trying to get ready, our neighbor gets pouty because no one is paying attention to him! Finally. as I am putting on my shoes getting ready to walk out the door, he says "oh, well you obviously have somewhere to be, so I will get out of your hair."
my neighbours are my inlaws so competition over, i win! and yeah, i sometimes wonder if im a bit too loud, espeically back in the day when our bed was near the window
as far as mr drum & keyboard, there are usually local rules on times you are allowed to be making noise so i would be calling the cops.. but im a bad neighbour
My neighbors *really* don't like me, and I have no idea why. I live in a small old neighborhood, behind one of the largest churches/oldest graveyards in the area (three bedroom/2 bath house). I don't have parties, I don't play my music loudly, I rarely have people over. But the neighborhood kids have thrown rocks at my windows, bottles of urine in my yard, and spray painted "bitch" in white at the end of my driveway. They've thrown my pumpkins off my porch and been generally destructive. The neighborhood women ignore me if I say hi, let their dogs poop in my yard, will be walking and stop and huddle in a group in front of my yard and point towards my house and whisper to each other. I honestly don't know what the heck I ever did to them. If I leave my garbage can out for more than a day they call the city on me, and when their dogs ripped my garbage a part, they called the city out to my house before I even had a chance to clean it up! They called before I even got home to see it! My only guess as to why these people hate me is because it's a bunch of middle-age and up women with children and I'm an engaged 25 year old that lives with her fiance.
Wow Arineya, that is... horrible. I think you're getting harrassed, seriously... do you have some sort of neighborhood association? I'd take it up with them
FI neighbor's have a crazy dog (rockstar) and we have two dogs. Ours are on a built in electric fence system and they wear shock collars constantly while out but they do come inside at night.
However, when FI had to go out of town for his grandfather's funeral, he had a friend come over and feed and water and check on the dogs during they day. Well the neighbors with the crazy dog left a nasty note about how the dogs have been barking all night for months (um no the dogs are inside at night - I think barking would have been noticed especially since it would be in the next room) and how they are supposed to be behind a fence and that the dogs are disrupting the general happiness of the neighborhood. And that people are scared of our dogs because they think that they can get out.
Well we went door to door to every neighbor on all sides and gave them apology pecan pies (I made 6 of them!) and tried to reassure everyone that the dogs are on an electric fence and that the one week of them being out at night was a one time thing. All of the neighbors except the complainers assured us that it was fine and that the barking had not been that bad just one night when a couple down the street had been having a pool party. All the normal neighbors also said that no one is afraid of the dogs.
We finally make it to the complaining neighbor to give him his pecan pie and apologize and he reams FI and I out. So we just kind of count him as a lost cause.
The next Saturday we were laying in the hammock and the dogs were just kinda playing around the yard and I look over and the complaining neighbor's 5 year old is sitting in our drive talking to Bella (our St. Bernard) and brushing the dogs hair with her Barbie comb. We called the neighbor and told him to look out his kitchen window and gently reminded him that our dogs were very friendly and that his kid is in our yard if he is looking for her.
They have been great neighbors ever since.
My neighbors hate us and I can't figure out why! They complained that we close our door too loudly... but we don't slam it or anything, it's just an old, heavy door with a door knocker on it. Hmph. They complained to management, who promptly made it so that our door closes really slowly. It doesn't change the sound level but it's a pain when you're running late and have four cats!
@cinemaparadiso- unfortunately we don't have a neighborhood association (that I know of). We've called the police on the neighborhood kids a few times, but it doesn't really stop them for long. Normally I'd be more aggressive about the issue, but I'm pretty relaxed about it at this point- it stinks, and if they want to show their butts, fine, so be it, we'll be out of the neighborhood in 3-5 years.
My neighbor seriously has it out for us too! No lie when we first moved in we must've been in tha apartment about 2-3 weeks and we get our first complaint. She has also complained that we had too much mess in OUR backyard and most of it was little ride on cars from my sons room that we were cleaning out at the time. She has even told the land lord that we have had alot of traffic going in and out and we hardly ever have people over and when we do, it's mostly family. SO needless to say now everytime she complains on us, I complain on her! And when she talks to us or to my kids I give a sly half a$$ smile and stay on my way. I tried not to let her get to me but i seriously think she just doesn't have ne thing else to do!
Several years ago I lived in a condo complex. I was unfortunate enough to have downstairs neighbors move in where the husband was blind, obese and housebound. He spent most of his days and nights sleeping, and his snores were so loud that I could hear them as if he was in my room.
I tried a noise machine, but he was too loud. I couldn't sleep with music and ear plugs didn't dampen it! It was hellacious.
When the guy was awake he would be screaming at his two sweet sons. The rest of the family was lovely, but that guy, not so much!

Seriously the people downstairs just got a drum set and keyboard, and the girl upstairs we "lovingly" refer to as elephant girl... she's tiny but stomps around like she's constantly killing bugs or wearing bulky rain boots or something! GRR! I SOMETIMES CAN'T STAND MY NEIGHBORS, especially when they're doing it in combination!
Got any neighbor problems you want to vent about?
