frustrating neighbor stories

[orinskye]

I thought this would be fun... post youre frustraiting stories about your neighbors here:
Mine, is this: We lived in this house for 2 years and this neighborhood commitee decided to get together and do a block party. Usually in a block party they invite the whole block...... umm.... at least that is what i thought. So the scumbags dont even TELL us about it and then they BLOCK OFF the street so we couldnt even get into our driveway...My parents walked down and asked what was going on and found out that it was a block party but they got the cold shoulder from everyone. So apparantly everyone on the block was invited except us. (also... just so there is no miscommunication about why..... we were "lower class" then they were. we didnt own our own home, we were only renting it, and everyone else was rich adn didnt work... so that is why,lol, not because we were horrible people or anything)... so OUR driveway got blocked off by the scumbags so they could have a party and not invite us

Aww that's mean!! That just reminded me of an episode of Malcolm In The Middle that I saw, where the same thing happened. They went away for vacation and came back early only to find that every one is having a good old time at their annual block party and they weren't invited!! There family is pretty crazy though, and I am sure yours is nothing like them.

That sucks!!! People are so mean

I have a good one...when my son was between 2-3 and we lived in our old building, he would bang around as young children do and our downstairs neighbors used to call the cops on us for it!!! Can you believe it. For almost a year they would call the cops 2 times a week on a 2 year old! Finally the police told them they had to stop because they were wasting the cops' time and then eventually we moved. How nasty is that?

LMAO......... that child is a rebel!!! He's going to end up in jail someday because of his more rambunctious days hanging out with his BIG WHEEL GANG...

[chewysmom]

The Big Wheel Gang is right, LOL!!! The funniest thing was when I had a little friend of his over and they were stomping together. The guy came up practically in tears! I told him, hey, this is City living for you, you don't like it move to the burbs!!!

I have neighbor stories.....They used to have a Pitt Bull that tried to chew thru MY fence....They didn't help me board it up so now my fence looks like a DRUNK CARPENTER fixed it (Me)

I finally MADE the guy put some boards up on his side... he had the nerve to ask ME for New Fence posts ....HIS dog was the one chewing theu the fence and he wanted ME to fix it.

They Broke my Lawn Mower and tried to hide it...They constantly use my trash cans and overfill them - then when I try to put something in there isn't any room...lol *they have my permission for this now)

and one day I caught them with MY water hose going into THEIR Garage.....literally stealing water that we pay for to clean out their garage...THAT was funny cuz when the dude saw me he tried to hide in his house but MY hose was going clear across 2 lawns into his garage ....talk about BUSTED !

THAT is cold blooded.... It sure makes you wonder what having money does to some peoples heads...money doesn't make anyone better than others....I'd have been really hurt by that too.

I have neihbors stories that can keep you here for hours.We own our home and we are surrounded by rentals.It used to be a retirement area great place to live with your kids.Well as time went by it turned more into a low income housing area then a retirement area. We have new neihbors every 6 months or so.Well one set of neihbors told us that we were too loud and there happy that we are moving soon. I didnt know what to think. this came from a 16 year old kids and her dad. It kind of offended me because she knows my son is hearing impaired hes 4 yrs.old so he can get loud at times. Then theres my yorkies and boy do they bark. I always stop them from barking but dogs bark and im not the only one with yappers.so i was alittle offend by that since the reason we have been fighting flees is because there dog jumps over my fence to poop in my yard, they let their dog out the front door to potty. They have an un neutered male cat that is nicly adding to the over population of stray cats.Back to the being loud thing. The man of their house drives a big rig truck wich he comes home all hours of the night. Now that is loud at 3 or 4 am. I thought to myself who are they to say anything. Any way like i said i have better grosser stories then this one.The horrible thing is that it doesnt matter about how much money you have its your morals and people have forgotten what its like to be neihborly these days. We have 5 more months in this whole then we will be moving out to the woods with NO neihbors.If you want more neihbor stories I have 9 years of it with maybe only a couple good people.Ask i will write more it get worse. Hold your head up high and remeber you live there rental or not and if they dont want your company then throw your own big party with all of your friends make sure the music is loud and ignore their feelings just like they ignored yours. Have fun but follow your neihborhood rules.

ooooh, i have another one: At the place my fiance and i live now... our neighbor called my name so she could talk to me (i have two laundrey baskets in my hand which are HEAVY) so i am standing there and she goes on and on about how she is going to pray for me because she thinks that my fiance is ABUSIVE!!!! well you would think that i would know if he is abusive or not, since i am the one that lives with him, but she treated me like i didnt know what abusive was and that i was deffinatly being abused What the hell????? and then she gets on to how she prays for me every day blah blah blah blah blah . . . I couldnt believe that she would accuse my fiance of something like that, she doesnt know us, and we are never loud (maybe once or twice we had the DVD player up a little too loud.. but taht is IT)... i just told her she was wrong and walked away
lol..... and she said "oh... i dont think so"

Our neighbors are old in their late 70's early 80's. They have never had children and decided they don't like mine. They are good kids for the most part. Well the kids would always tell me that Otto, they call him "Otis" to me keeps yelling at them for playing in front of his house (they are in the street), Walking on his side walk (the one the town owns) and for stepping on his lawn the one that is between our house (most of it) 10 feet belongs to me 3 inches belongs to him. They yelled at my son when he was snowblowing that he was getting snow on their property. Well I thought they were over exaggerating. One day I was in the back yard playing with the dogs and the kids where in the front playing basketball. The ball went on his 3 inches twice. The wife was outside and didn't see I was in the back. I have very high shrubs, 15 feet that seperates are backyards and the fence. All of a sudden she is yelling at my kids calling them little Jerk-offs. No one yells at my kids but me. I asked if she had a problem with my children please talk to me and not yell and call them names. Next thing I know is she is telling me that I am a stupid idiot and she is sick of the basketball going on her lawn and that if I had any brains I would have the basketball hoop in the backlawn where they belong. She never saw anyone but one in a driveway. All she had to do was look at the other 25 houses to see I was not the only one. Well she kepts yelling at me to keep my little "RATS" off her sidewalk. She doesn't want my fleas to get on her lawn. Well that was the last straw. I told her if she didn't like it she should move to a retirement home with the rest of the old people and leave me and my family alone. When my husband came home we told him what happened. That night he went and played basketball with the kids and kept throwing the ball on their front lawn. Then walking across it to get it. He wanted them to come out and yell at him.

One day Mac went under the fence in her backyard and I here her screaming the rat is trying to attack her. Well I go over pick up Mac and tell her it's not a "Rat". I decided I will try and talk to this woman. I let her pet Mac and explained he is a very friendly little man and would not hurt her. She is now convienced he is not a Rat but they mostly hide in there house. She knows she stuck with us as neighbors. We're really not that bad.

I can certainly relate to having bad neighbors.
I have a lot of horrible stories about our neighbor Beatrice, the "witch." When I was younger there was a rabbit that would constantly come into our yard, and would let us pet it. He quickly became our own stray little rabbit (it was really neat. I assume he had previously been owned.) After a few days of not seeing him, one of my neighborhood friends came over to tell me that Bea had beaten it with a broom! I couldn't believe it (actually.. I could.)
A few years ago I was outside with a friend of mine, who was doing construction work for my dad. The neighbors were outside, and he told me Bea was staring at him and making rude comments about how loud he was the entire afternoon. We decided to pretend to be interested in the VERY large trees on her property, and that didn't sit well with her. She immediately started yelling at us that those are her trees and we can't look at them! We just laughed at her and told her we could look at whatever we wanted...
Like I mentioned above, these neighbors have huge trees right next to our property. We have a personal alley that separates the two houses, and we park in a section back there. This year, she decided that she was going to rake all of her leaves into that section when we weren't home! When my dad saw it the next day, he used the leaf blower to put them back where they belonged. The following morning they were on our property again! As I was leaving, the other neighbors stopped me to tell me that Bea came out at 5 a.m. to rake them back! That *****!

Just thought I'd add that the same woman had her children taken away from her (they are adults now) because she was angry with them and locked them in their garage! (Among other things, I'm sure.)
And when her husband lost his job a few years ago, he was so scared to tell her that he got dressed and left for "work" every day for over three months before he got another job!

I don't know what the laws are where you live, but our last neighborhood liked to have block parties, and they had to get written permission from everyone before they blocked the street off. They would send letters for us to sign. Maybe they contacted the homeowner, and they never passed the information on.

I think I would have been so POd that I would have called the police on your neighbors! It just doesn't seem like it would be lega for them to do that. What if you had a delivery or movers coming on that day?

I've always heard that if you don't want neighbors complaining about your party-invite them!!
