When Neighbors Go Bad

Chainsaw (Tree) Massacre
AOL User Monkalup Says:
"I was living in a town house and the woman two doors away decided that the tree in my front yard had to go. I was sitting in my living room when I heard the chainsaw and it seemed very close. I looked out the window and there she was, trying to cut down my black olive tree. I went outside to stop her and she started chasing me around the parking lot with the chainsaw buzzing. Fortunately, I scaled a fence she could not, and I got away."

Should Somebody Tell Her?
AOL User DebStarrett Says:
"I lived in an apartment that faced the back of a neighbor's apartment. The space between the two buildings might have been 20 feet or less. My front door was right across from her bathroom window. Granted the glass was frosted, but I guess no one ever told her (myself included) that frosted glass only 'frosted' the view. Needless to say, my building always had a lot of male visitors at night when the view was 'clear'."

And Hello to You Too ...
AOL User Purplebeach722 Says:
"Several years ago, my family moved into a trailer park. My husband was being nice and friendly and introduced himself to the woman across the way. The only response he got from her was: 'The way we get along in here is that everybody stays to themselves.' What a welcome to the neighborhood!"

Spy in the Sky
AOL User Btennesseegirl Says:
"I know of a woman who lives on Elm Street that actually crawls up on the roof of her house and spies on the neighbors with binoculars! If she sees anything she doesn't like she calls City Hall and tries to get the neighbor fined. She has declared war on all of her neighbors and has put her two sons up to giving people the finger. No one on the block can stand her. She is 100% toxic!"

My Work Here Is Done
AOL User REVIEW 4 U Says:
"For six months my upstairs neighbor, in our co-op apartments, made noise throughout the night: rolling balls across the floor, hammering completely around the floor of his place, throwing chairs and hopping up and down on the uncarpeted floor. After six months he wrote a note to me and the Board that his 'noise experiment was successful,' probably based on the rash notes I left on his answering machine and complaints I left in his mailbox."

Parking Space Hog
AOL User MumsyWmsy Says:
"This jerk moved in next door last summer. He has an older model, large step van and a pickup truck, neither of which have legal plates. Right away he began to park the truck where I usually park, in front of my building. Not his. So, I started parking across the street. Then he moved (his van) into the space across the street that I had started using since he had 'my' old space. However, he took up two spaces for it, which caused a domino effect causing other neighbors to scramble for parking spaces when they arrived home."

In-Home Roller Derby
AOL User Inqiron Says:
"I live in a downstairs apartment and my upstairs neighbor has three little girls who spend weekends with him. We dread it because he lets them run amok, no discipline whatsoever. One night we kept hearing this odd crunching noise for hours. We were trying to guess what it could be. Finally it occurred to me ... ROLLER SKATES! By the way, it wasn't hard to confirm this because he also leaves his door wide open so all his loud music and screaming-kid noises float down the stairwell to our place."
Next: It's (Always) a PartyMore Nightmare Neighbors:

It's (Always) a Party!
AOL User FairlaneSC Says:
"My new nieghbors that moved in not long ago seem to party all the time. They go to the bars at night and bring the bar patrons home with them. Our bedroom window is facing their patio that they party on all night. In the winter they burn in a barrel to keep warm. They also set up tents in their yard for all the drunks to sleep in all summer long. Neither of them work, so they must have inherited a ton of money to live this way!"
Next: An 'Alarming' JokesterMore Nightmare Neighbors:

An 'Alarming' Jokester
AOL User Gardenia1999 Says:
"One day I sent my daughter to check the mail and dropped my keys. We went outside to look for them with no luck. One of our neighbors below us was watching us laughing. I didn't think anything of it at the time, but then it started: At any noise that they considered to be loud my van alarm would start sounding. Then they started doing it just for fun so they could see us run out to switch it off. They would stand so they could look out their balcony and watch as we ran out to our car and laugh about it."
Next: A Surprise VisitorMore Nightmare Neighbors:

A Surprise Visitor
AOL User ShellzBellz61878 Says:
"At first the only problem was their small child hanging out the window yelling at everyone who passed. Then I was taking a nap with my son and I heard my bedroom door open. I jumped out of bed with a start and realized it was this kid from across the street! I was furious. I took him outside ... and his mom was in her front yard watering the grass and had watched him walk right in my house. When I said that he scared the hell out of me she just told the kid, 'Now, don't do that, hon.'"

My Fence Offends??
AOL User Tkosikowsk Says:
"When we moved into our new house, little by little, the neighbor next door, put up a shed, a huge wooden play-set, a trampoline, a doghouse, a deck with hot tub, a firepit, and lots of plastic toy sets all inches from my property line. An added bonus: they have four kids and three big dogs. So when I finally put up a nice fence, with all the required approvals and permits, he was mad and said that the fence gave him claustophobia!"
Next: No Walking AllowedMore Nightmare Neighbors:

No Walking Allowed
AOL User Ciscoiluvu Says:
"I get home from work about 10 p.m. These buildings are old and the floors creak. I have carpeting, always take my shoes off and walk softly, but my new neighbors have determined that I am too noisy for them. Apparently they are light sleepers and if I walk across my floor at night they start banging on the walls. LOUD BANGING! LIKE A HAMMER! TEN TO 20 HITS AT A TIME! They came to my door about a week ago to let me know that as soon as I get home I should go to bed since they like to go to sleep around 10 p.m."
Next: The Feisty FiveMore Nightmare Neighbors:

The Feisty Five
AOL User Sobeitbaby Says:
"I love all my neighbors, but one. They have five boys 15 and under who are beyond disrespectful. I have been to their door to try and talk things over about not trampling my bushes & not letting the dog get into my backyard (she is mean). I would prefer they not throw their unwanted newspapers in my yard. I don't like the kids throwing the ball at my car. After talking with the parents and the kids, the mom told me that I am just unfriendly. I haven't given up, but I am becoming more tolerant and picking my battles."
Next: Business BlockersMore Nightmare Neighbors:

Business Blockers
AOL User KEPLEY1026 Says:
"We own a business with a large parking lot. The neighbors across the street park directly at the entrance and sometimes five-wide, making it impossible for semis to pull in. It has become a driving hazard trying to pull out of the parking lot. My family politely asked them several times if they would at least pull into a parking space, which we would allow them to use at anytime. They said a few explicits and that they had been parking there for 20 years and will continue to park there whenever they want."

Noisy Night Owl
AOL User Zookeeper536 Says:
"I once had a young man move in next to my apartment who had a HUGE stereo with a 6-CD auto changer. He was a bartender -- evening to whenever. I was 9 to 5. He would come home at 2, 3 or 4 a.m., usually loaded, fill the CD player, blast the volume and pass out COLD. These were loft apartments with 20' by 15' windows leading to a shared terrace. Of course, his stereo was smack up against his window which made everyone's rattle and shake, not to mention the noise."

Just Call It a Kennel
AOL User ms92princess Says:
"Our neighbors who live directly behind us have 46 dogs and they all live inside the house. We have tried everything possible to get them to get rid of their dogs. We are two miles out of town so we are considered living in the country. The county will not do anything about it. We have tried everything possible for three years. They bark all the time and they smell horrible. They are breeding the dogs, so they keep on coming. If you have 1 or 2 annoying dogs that bark, multiply that by 45 and that's what we hear all the time!"

Time to Wake the Kids
AOL User ArchaeoOne Says:
"When I lived in Pomona, N.Y., our next door neighbors had a moron son who did nothing but work on his car and play music so loud, our windows vibrated. When he went out evenings, he never had a garage door opener. He used to pull into the driveway and lean on the horn until his father came downstairs and opened the garage door for him. This could be at 2 or 3 a.m. I had one baby and one toddler. Every time he did this, my children would wake up crying. I complained to the idiot father who thought I was a trouble maker."

Junk in His Trunk
AOL User Albert33d Says:
"I have a neighbor who has everything in his backyard from a mop to a car. He has bags and bags of junk. He goes outside everyday and cuts wood pieces which he stores in a car in his backyard. He has paint cans, rope, nails, a ladder: just about everything you need to build a new house. To top it all off he has all of this under a blue tent, similar to the one you see at a cemetary when someone is about to be buried. He was recently reported to city officials, and will soon have to move the crap."

Belligerent Busybodies
AOL User Goofyfrench Says:
"On one side, I have an 80-year-old and her many sons. They have set up chairs blocking the (public) sidewalk stating it's theirs. They sit and drink 'old style' from 8:00 a.m. until after I go to bed. Not only do they have a comment about everything and everyone, but they stop me every time I try to get into my house. They think they know everything about all the neighbors. It gets pretty ugly at times when other neighbors overhear their obnoxious comments and trivial thoughts."
Next: Armed & IdioticMore Nightmare Neighbors:

Armed & Idiotic
AOL User LadyR1818 Says:
"The 24-year-old 'kid' took a nail gun and shot it through my yard (I have dogs and kids). The father took his shotgun out and killed birds because they were eating his flowers, and last but not least, the 'kid' has no concept that he lives in a neighborhood. He revs his engine and works on his mufflerless corvette and hot rod BMW at all hours of the night."
Next: Caught on TapeMore Nightmare Neighbors:

Caught on Tape
AOL User Ydarthken Says:
"We have a neighbor that was hitting my father's car pulling in and out of 'her' spot. We mounted video cameras to watch our cars for damage. They watched us install the cameras and less than six hours later, the husband rear-ended my dad's car. We e-mailed the police and sent them the video file to their Internet site. Since then, they have hit my dad's car four times on camera and were seen throwing nails under my van, all on camera. They are appealing several of the claims, even with the video proof."
Next: The NotebookMore Nightmare Neighbors:

The Notebook
AOL User LisaMD21532 Says:
"We had neighbors that watched everything we did. There were notebooks with everything written down. Mostly they kept track of my husband, who had a tri-axle dump truck. When he left, what time he got home, what he did at his garage. They would scoop up water from the street when he washed the truck, to have it analyzed. Even when we worked in our yard, she would just walk over and take pictures of us."

Fourwheelin' Theives
AOL User CrzyPopTart Says:
"My neighbor has broken into my house a couple of times and stolen about $1,500 from me. Some of the money was stolen while I was in the shower. When we were building the house her little siblings would come do donuts in the fresh driveway with their fourwheelers. I hate them!"

Devil Dogs
AOL User Klt03301 Says:
"One of my neighbors lived in a mobile home with a large window in the front of it. She had five Chows that she would let run loose in the neighborhood; they would attack and bite people. We lived in the country and there was no leash law. This was back in the early 80's in rural N.C. She started keeping them inside the mobile home, but they would get out by breaking out the front window. I'm not kidding. They would break her window to get out and go looking for a fight."
