Any issues with neighbours?

Ush1

Having recently moved into a house I'm getting used to having to put up with certain things that neighbours might do.

The house is semi detached and the gable walls share an alley which the neighbour has thrown loads of crap down. He must be redecorating but there's bags, doors and loads of planks of wood.

Then on the attached side the top layers of blocks of the back garden wall has fallen off and they have a huge German Shepard that hops up barking and is basically face to face with ya.

The dog isn't annoying really but the crap in the side entrance is, so, do you have or had any issues with neighbours? How were they resolved or is there a long term feud?

I was upset when Charlene left. And the Harold Bishop storyline was farcical.

My neighbor took offense when we had a large housparty (50 + people) and my drunken friend decided to show her the meat-spin. We all thought she was bang out of order calling the gaurds.....

Meat-spin? Is that like the helicopter?

When we moved into our house, the neighbours next door seemed a bit weird, the kids were young but I just knew they were going to be trouble in a few years. After about 6 months they just left, house still had toys outside, 2 cars still there (one is a 2006 jeep that hasn't moved since I've been here, 2009) etc but no sign of them. Found out they had run up a pile of debt, owed everyone money and then the father had been jailed in the UK (I'm told for Murder).
The house started it fall into disrepair, windows broken, rubbish from inside the house had been thrown outside. Then I seen a fella at the house one day so I went over for a chat, he was a surveyor hired by the bank, very nice man, he organised for the house to be cleaned up, windows fixed and its in the process of being taken over by the bank with the hope of being sold. No mater who moves into it now, I think we dodged a bullet with the previous owner.

Are you renting or do you own the house?

If construction work is actively going on in their house, you have to give them some leeway with regard to the rubble.

From what I've read recently here, 7 foot high fences and chicken wire seems to be a good place to start if you want to annoy the others for a bit.

I had to put up a fence on top of my wall to keep the vermin from my neighbours house out, they're now complaining because it's unsightly

I bought the house yeah.

I wouldn't mind if it was just kept to there side as I have to bring the wheelie bin through the side entrance. It's not even that much stuff, they could just put it in their shed. It's been there for a while as well, at least a month anyway.

The day we went to view our house the neighbour and her husband were out introducing themselves. I just thought she was being friendly but now that I know her a bit better I know she was sussing us out. She doesn't work and doesn't have any children so it seems to me that she has a huge amount of time on her hands. She even has a dog walker and she has a fella who calls us to valet her car! She's very much into keeping up with the Jones's. We paint our house, she paints her house, we varnish our windows, she varnishes her windows. I put up hanging baskets, she puts up hanging baskets. Its even happened twice that she's got a new car after we've got new ones! Have to say though, its all pretty harmless and they are good neighbours. Could definitely be living next door to worse!

My neighbour has loud sex in the room next to me (student accommodation) almost every night. She is soooo faking it, but that's another story. The issue isn't helped by the fact that there's a door between our two rooms so we might as well be in the same room (bed). I can't look her straight in the face the next morning. How does one deal with the situation delicately? I did leave this playing on my subwoofer for 10 hours one day:

My neighbors are always either fighting or riding. Sometimes it's hard to tell which is which.

Mine can't be arsed enough to keep his cats under control so I've had to put up chickenwire and suffer him moaning about it on boards.

The wall with the top layer of block missing has a big crack through a section also. I'm gonna talk to them and suggest I can repair that section to the whole wall and build that top layer back on so we don't have to be staring at each other every time we're out the back.

I have a neighbour who has been using a loud electric drill everyday for four years. He's just drilling holes for the sake of it. Either that or he's pulling a jeffrey dahmer. I heard screaming on tuesday and assumed it was love making.

That's another thing, I have to soundproof the walls as I can hear them walking around and yer mans alarm going off in the morning.

If he ends up in court he'll probably ask for several other fences to be taken into consideration.

Have one neighbor who wont let anyone park outside his house.
and if you do park there he will deliberately move his van from his garden and block the car so the car can't be moved :mad:

Outside at his wall or blocking his drive? I hates feckers who do the latter, the former however is perfectly fine as its not his road.

Rubbish might annoy you but its on his property - if he's redecorating give him a bit of leeway - if its still there in a month's time or starts encroaching into your garden that's a difference story.

These things rarely get resolved and generally get out of hand and lifes too short to get into a feud - what's the point - it just gets your stress levels up.

Most people don't like when people, especially if you are new, pointing things like this out to them so what's to be gained only grief.

Live and let live

AH response - píss in his letterbox and rob his wife's sexy undies of the clothes line and parade around in them;)

Outside his wall, public road not blocking any entrance or drive

I can never understand total knobends like him who actually believe they own the road outside their house, I would hate to see how he would react if someone went and blocked his drive.

Tell me about it :rolleyes:
My parents where having a party just before Christmas, a lot of my relatives drove as they had far to travel and where going to stay the night.
They parked outside his house and around his house - not blocking his drive way. (he lives at the cul de sac)

Knock at the door later that evening, the Neighbor asks if the cars could be moved as he couldn't get in and out of his drive (which was lies)
My dad just laughed in his face and closed the door.
Next day two of my relatives where leaving to notice the car plates on their car had gone - needles to say , we all knew how that happen :mad: but unfortunately had no evidence

We have the best neighbors anyone could ask for. One side is an old woman who is constantly baking so she's always dropping in with apple tarts and brown bread. On the other side is an other old woman who is in a wheelchair so she is no trouble, my Mother helps her out a lot with shopping, cleaning and we cut her lawn and hedges too.

Well in fairness I don't think my side of the alley is his property but I'm not wound up or anything. More curious into what other people have had trouble with.

Ah ok sorry didn't pick that bit up. I'm not saying you are wound up I'm just making a general comment that these things never end well and can just develop into a tit for tat fued and there is never any winners from situations like that. That's my experience of these things and life is too short for feuds - am not saying be a doormat but think about how you approach the neighbour before you do..

We have a neighbour who is unemployed and spends all day at home watching TV. Every time we have a party he complains even if its not that loud. So we have taken to blasting this at full whack for the whole day while were in college. That'll learn him.

lazygal

My neighbour is too nice. :mad:

She dropped in a Christmas gift for us, making us feel bad we never got her anything. She also paid for our front garden to be tidied up when she was getting hers done and wouldn't take any money for it. This also made us feel bad. Plus, she'll make sure to park so we have room to park on the road too. :mad:

My next door neighbour in my home place is nuts. We used to keep wood for the fire outside the front door until she started reaching over the [low] wall to steal it at night. I was outside the front door having a cigarette one night when her hand comes over the wall, she sees me and starts pretending to examine a flower! She started throwing her old food [cold potatoes etc] over the wall recently but the mother threw some back over and she has stopped. Most people in the area have their own story about her. Woman working in the local Centra said the same woman spent ten minutes running in and out the automatic doors one day, just keeping them open. Mental!

I used to live across the road from what can only have been a den of debauchery of some kind. I rarely saw people come in and out except on really sunny days when they all emerged [one woman and a few men]. They would just lie around the garden cackling and having a great time. They all seemed old enough, middle aged onwards. Many days I could hear a man's voice laughing really loud from an upstairs window. It could go on for hours! I can't even fathom how someone could laugh that long and loud without collapsing.

I'm renting a house with my girlfriend, one neighbour is really nice the other just ignores myself and the gf for no reason. I always make sure to say hello to her even though she ignores me, I like to think it pisses her off.

I had a lot of problems with my new neighbour when my daughter refused to play with her daughter in her house because she was afraid of the father who was a bit of a bully. So I got reported to the revenue. Social welfare. Child protection. You name it and I had a visit. In the end I went to Garda about all the lies she was spouting. And now we just I gone each other. At this stage I think she has threatened 70% of the area where I live with law over something or other. So be careful what you say to them

That's awful. My daughter plays in school with this other girl who is a really lovely kid but the same thing, her father is an aggressive prick, won't work just lives off the wife's money, always down the pub and comes home drunk and demanding his dinner from his wife who has been out working all day. Honestly when you see them together he is a big fat ugly drunken brute and the wife is tiny little petite thing. Anyway before I knew all this I used to let our daughter go over and play but one day my wife was collecting her and she heard the ****er cursing and shouting at the top of his voice from down the street! That was the end of that I can tell ya!

As for your own situation I reckon one
day that one will report the wrong person and she will get what's coming to her!
Not nice behaviour from so called adults is it?

The neighbours next to my mother were lovely for the first 13 years she lived beside them, never had any issues with them at all, but a few years ago their marriage failed, and the wife moved out, since then things went to pots here, and the house turned into a bit of a flop house, the husband has a new love interest, and does be away allot especially at weekends, and leaves his teenage daughters home alone to have wild parties and invite droves upon droves of complete scum over - my mother has confronted his daughters over the noise, they always come across respectable enough, and seem understanding and sorry, but it still goes on. one night their house was completely destroyed by yet another wild out of control party, since that night, there hasn't been many parties since, but the loud music is never ending. This house is in a really nice area also, the good areas have bad neighbour issues too. My mother is hoping and praying they'll sell up and go.

Noise travels through the walls and can be a lot louder than you think. Ever been the sober person in a group of drunk or stoned people? If so then you'll know how he feels.Try to put yourself in his position. Anyway wtf has his being at home got to do with anything? You annoy him and he complains, so you deliberatley leave loud music on while you're out. Sounds like someone's acting the cnut and it isn't him:rolleyes:

The lady next door to us was one of the nicest people you could meet, and there was NEVER any trouble with her, there was never the slightest bit of noise from her either. She always had a smile on her face, used to always give a cheerful hello and a wave if she saw us, and would always talk over the garden wall if any of us were out there. Just nice things like that. Sadly, she passed away a few years ago, and she is still missed.

The family that moved in are more or less the neighbours from hell. Where to begin with them. . .? It all seemed to start even before they moved in when there was a lot of work done to the house. We're talking, hammering, drilling, sawing, etc, that obviously echoed around the room, seeing as there was nothing in it. All this went on for at least a couple of weeks, and at times would go on until late in the evening, like after 10pm.

That's just for starters. Now, and since they moved in, we've had to endure three screaming brats, that can be heard running around the house (I think downstairs is open plan). Or, we'd have the parents shouting at them, or at times at one another. Even the odd night, they can be heard "at it." Then, there can be the odd bit of DIY too, usually consisting of drilling and hammering. They also think they can park whatever way they like.

On the subject of the kids, they are usually in the front garden with friends kicking a football around, as kids do, but it's hit our sitting-room window on a number of occasions, and the car. My parents have given out, but to no avail. Even with a newly installed fence, it still doesn't keep the kids out of our garden. Or, one, who can't be anymore than four or five stood in the middle of the road as my Dad was driving up and started to dance in front of us and just smirked as we went past. In fairness, the mother did come out and drag the kid in, not that it will have any effect.

So, there's the brats, the shouting and screaming from kids and parents; slamming doors, which could be at any time day or night; there's been the odd party, one of which started after 3am one morning, and lasted until just before 7am, but thankfully they haven't had one in a good while; there's the parking; a loud shower that could go during the night, it doesn't bother them. It's just things like that, which can get on our nerves now and again. They just seem like the sort of people that don't give a toss. They're there a few years now, and we've rarely spoken to them.
