Annoying Neighbours

User15

Hi Guys,

Not getting in to the detail but I have the worst neighbours on the planet.
Busy-body, interferring, nasty, the type that look down their nose at you type.

Thinking that ignoring their interferances and nasty behaviour was the best thing to do I can no longer sit back and allow these people to victimise me and my family.

For the past 10 years each time my husband would come in complaining how our neighbours told him off for something ridiculous like washing his car or parking the wrong way, I always said just ignore it bla bla bla.

I'm at the point where I feel like selling up but I really don't want to do that.

But now the busy bodies have gone too far.
It's payback time.

If they want to moan I will give them something to moan about.

Tomorrow morning I will leave my Boombox Music Player on as loud as possible when I go to work and I will turn if off when I come home.

I will then hose down my car for 5mins on the hour until 9pm.

That's as far as I got with the payback.
I'm not really good at this.
Anybody any ideas........

Maybe talk with them in a non-confrontational way

Your suggestions will only make things worse for both families

frag420

Write them a strongly worded letter...................

Put David Grays " Please forgive me if I act a little strange " song on repeat on your boombox. My old flatmate used to wake me up every sat morn with this shoite on repeat. Out of respect I now leave fresh flowers on his grave every summer

You could write a letter to the council like you do about noise?

I have a neighbour that complains about non existant noise and keeps telling me hes going to tell my father what ive done (i dont live with my parents , 2 years later he still hasnt copped on to that)

Jesus that would annoy me! I'd break a lease over that kind of thing. Tell him your Da wants to speak to him and send around your oldest looking mate to see what he says. Record it and report him as a nuisance.

That'll shut him up.


There's nothing I hate more than complaining neighbours. Seriously.

i'll trade ye fer mine, they're class, they psychically know when you have to get up early for work and celebrate by inviting 50 people home to take pills and listen to warb warb warb music with the subwoofers up to 11 in the room over yours until 11am, sometimes taking fag breaks and talking shíte outside your window and ringing your bell by mistake.

chin_grin

That's it OP provoke them to the point of explosion. Just be sure to have a witness when they do go postal so you can then report them. Brilliant idea.

Join them.

Surely just telling them to fcuk off when they complain to you about trivial sh1t would be a lot easier than blaring music and giving them more reasons to complain?

have done,
can't always be done.

mackg

Yeah just tell em to f**k off if, worst they can do is complain to the council or whoever and if you really have done nothing wrong what do they have to complain about? Doesn't really sound like you will be losing out by falling out with them either.

i like the house, have no plans on leaving, the chaps a nutter , He called the council enviromental health officer because i had 5-6 sealed bags of dry waste in the back garden , yer wan from the council called round, I explained to her i was just waiting on pay day to go to the dump and she wrote 'complaint exagerated, no revisit needed' on her form

FloatingVoter

If they have a nice garden, salt it. Nothing will grow there again. Of course, I never did such a cruel thing to a vicious old git when I was younger...:rolleyes:

df1985

I have great neighbours in the broader sense of things but it borders on them being too close, my immediate next door neighbours are a second family to me. great for 90% of things but I cant come/go, have anybody over etc without them knowing or at least asking.

they cut my grass for me though so im gonna shut up!

7Sins

It sounds like you're the bad neighbour in this situation :rolleyes:

TBF 11 am isn't exactly up for work early!

worst neighbours in the planet a bit much me thinks?

when your neighbours petrol bomb other people out of there houses for the laugh you could understand the post but chill out go and speak to them properly and be firm and after that if it dont work call the guards and dont take any bull**** from them cos i'd say they think your a bit of a walkover there just bullys stand up to them more than likely they'll will back down if there well to do kinda people

I know one guy at the moement who having just moved into a new neighbourhood is having some diy ie, plumbing , electricals ,plastering done on his house which involves some noise during the daytime including saturday . However ,miss goody two shoes next door has took it upon herself to complain of the noise and has took to filming him coming and going at his diy .

Now this a hard working , resonable man who would not deliberately set out to annoy anybody for the sake of it and he thinks it has more to do with the neighbour throwing her weight around ie ,how dare you just move in and improve on your house '' . So we have suggested to him to play her at her own game with the video camera explaining to her that he's just making sure she's keeping to the ' residental rules ' and we'll see how she likes it .

OP ,take a photo of your neighbours dog crapping on the street then send it off to the local council .

Seachmall

My neighbour used to fling dog **** at our house.

Granted it was our dog's **** but there's a ditch on 2 sides of his house.

There are now 5 dogs in the area and they all **** in his garden.

conorhal

'Meh', it sounds to me as if the OP isn't being entirely forthcoming. And her petulant disproportionate response suggests she's the kind of ignorant person that is in all likelihood a selfish and inconsiderate neighbor.

She mentions things like 'criticizing her husbands parking', that could mean they are nitpicking, or it could mean he inconsiderately parks in a manner that makes it difficult for them to get their car out of the driveway which can be infuriating.
There are any number of small disputes and inconsiderate actions than can build up into serious desputes between neighbors, try building bridges rather then burning them perhaps?

ha, i think a lot of people have. i was only messing with ya. I've been very lucky with neighbours, but i'd imagine its sole destroying living next door to someone like that. wouldn't mind if it was every now and then but the regular party's would drive me mad. And a nosey neighbour like the OP's would be equally annoying.

My neighbours well cat women has to leave the frontroom window open all day and all night long.I asked even left note had to close the window using a ladder none of it has sunk in.Today there are 120 mile an hour winds and my neighbours are sitting in the kitchen with the window open.Im baffled as to what i should even say to people that stupid.
Fingers crossed my landlords going to get them in the arse.
If you can move dont bother confronting stupid people they dont get it .
If anyone wants free stuff theres a massive house with a wide open window.

Johnny D. Mudd

Your suggested solution is in it's own way quite petty OP so I wouldn't recommend going that way. People will inevitably hold it against you. Perhaps the better solution would be to bring up your grievances with them in a diplomatic yet firm manner. If you're not comfortable going down that road, maybe you can discuss it with someone, maybe another neighbour, a close friend or even a family member. Maybe they can then accompany you to discuss things with them or even go on your behalf. Either way, this seems a better option in the long run.

Hook up your exhaust via a tube through their letterbox at 1am
Run car for the whole night, revving if needs be.

You won't hear any noise from that house ever ever again as they'll all be brown bread.

Then remove corpses and throw them in the dodder. Don't forget to put a picture of Bertie in the fathers pocket either

people still have boomboxes? :eek:

I'd suggest a scuttery cat dropped in through an open window but I fear the OP is buried in his own back yard after the boombox incident.

What is your point??.

cocoshovel

Id have great fun with those neighbors. I just wouldnt care what they say to me. Id get on with my life just as normal and every time they say something just go "ok".....and continue on with what ever I was doing. They would hate that and it wouldn't be bothering me.

Pointless getting worked up over someone complaining about what way your car is parked etc. Let them get worked up over it.
