I have a rude neighbor that is turning spiteful and vindictive as time goes on. I have lived in my home for 11 years and did not realize the home next to mine was a rental when we purchased ours. Back then the house was well kept with flowers in the yard and looked nice even though it was very old. In 11 years time the house has never been painted, sits empty a good portion of the time but when it is occupied, it has people of lower income residing inside as the appearance continues to decline. One tenant had several hunting dogs who yelped at all hours of the day and night and since we live in the suburbs, we have well water. Along with 2 semi truck trailers of junk collected in the yard the tenant would change oil in the driveway, draining the oil directly onto the ground which contributes to contaminating the water table. We were happy to see that person move but what replaced them was unbelievable.

Along with a single women, a teenage son who has problems keeping his pants up trolls the grounds with huge rolling boom boxes on wheels and numerous traffic coming and going night and day. They seem to have no respect for people who wake with the sun as loud mufflers use the side yard as a motocross track with dirt bikes, 4 wheelers and 4×4 pickup trucks (the lot is at max 150′ x150”). We were awakened numerous times but the straw that broke the camel’s back was at 2 am when the kid pulls into the yard and does huge figure 8’s in the yard 80 feet from my bedroom window. I had to call the local sheriff and wanted a complaint filed but I was told there was no noise ordinance to be broken… Loud fireworks, just one or two all hours of the night and even gunfire have been issues in the past. They have 3 unlicensed dogs, one a pitbull who I have not caught on my property yet… Letters to the land-owner and personal visits have not corrected this issue. Things had settled down a bit when I had a lawyer contact the property owner and warn of possible litigation against him and his tenant, but its starting up again. My family was awakened again last night by the sounds of a full size truck 4 wheel’in next to my bedroom window. Now the sheriff tells me he can issue a citation if he sees him driving like this but with one law enforcement officer covering over 140 square miles the chances of him being caught are slim.

I am the closest house to this property, and the bedroom side of our home sits next to this property giving us the direct hit of his vengeance. He even admitted doing this to “pi** me off” admitting this to the sheriff’s deputy. I am now on medication due to stress and have trouble sleeping. Everyone I talk to can’t believe this cannot be stopped and I see no end to this kids behavior. I do not intend to sell my home until my kids are out of school. I can only hope that there is a God whom I pray to in church on Sunday or that this blight on humanity grows up soon or moves somewhere else.

I know this one deserves a certificate… Our new neighbors purchased the adjoining townhome as a foreclosure property. They seemed nice enough. We had them over for dessert after they got settled. Within a few months we noticed that they began planting aggressive vines and plants along our adjoining property line. We decided not to mention anything. Then we started seeing the husband building a wooden deck to cover half of their yard that had just been treated for termites. I then came home to find a hammock tied to my stairrail and his tree with him sleeping in it (middle of the day). I asked him to remove it. That must have been what ticked him off, because the next thing I new, I had come home from a two day trip and found that the side of my townhome facing theirs had been PAINTED a different color from mine!!! by him. Not only that there was splatter marks and paint drops all over my ac unit, my patio furniture, several collectable plants. I called him to ask why he had done it and his response was …’I plan to keep going.’ The next weekend (Easter) we had left our third floor window open to enjoy the cool air when we were awakened by loud banging noises that sounded like somebody was trying to break in our garage door. It was 2am and all I could see from my third floor window was him with a friend unloading timber from the back of his pickup truck. We did not say anything. We missed Easter morning service for lack of sleep. The next evening we went to bed early and again left the window open…at 10:30 we started hearing power saws and banging around. I was dressed and down three flights of stairs so fast. I went to him directly and we almost went to blows. It has been almost a month now. They decided to rescue two very large black dogs who bark all day and night. All of our neighbors are ready to kill them. I suspect this story will keep going…but if this doesn’t get a certificate…I really feel sorry for the person who does. Thanks so much for this website. It helps to know we are not the only ones going through something like this.

My rude neighbor moved in just about a year ago. These are the kind of people you see coming from a mile away. These are the ‘WannaBe’ rich people that think they are all that when they are far from! These are the people that helped the economy get where it is today! FYI… If you cant afford to purchase the home on your own, in your own name…. You cant afford it! If your cant afford the asking price and have to borrow over 80,000 from the builder, then not pay back a penny…. You cant afford it! If you cant pay your property taxes… You cant afford it! There are so many liens on the home I’m surprised its still standing. FYI TO ALL OTHER NEIGHBORS… All this information is is avaliable via the internet, public records. So, stop telling your friends your buying something bigger in better and that is the reason for your sale….. Lets be honest your bankrupt! And just to let you know…. Just about anyone can go to budget rent a car and rent a bunch of nice cars. Why dont people like yourselfs actually try to pay for one. And instead of the lawn service… It wouldnt hurt to do it yourself and work off that huge ASS of yours. By the way, the language you use with your small children is uncalled for. Telling them they can go F*** themselfs… To get the f*** in the house… Calling then Ass*****, Well… lady the joke is on you cause you’re on UTUBE doing so for all to see!!!!

Have you ever had a neighbor that goes and complains to the landlord about everything that you do even though he does the same things he’s complaining about? Well me and my wife have a neighbor like that! He tells the landlord that we slam doors, are loud, we don’t mow our lawn-forgive us for having a life and friends-we don’t feel the need to mow every three days. It seems that that is his favorite hobby, mowing the lawn.

I live by the rudest people I have ever met in met 42 years of life. The husband is a beer guzzling redneck that beats his wife. Not to mention she is all of 300 lb, to his 150lbs. go figure. I am a quiet person who minds my own business. These people are so loud. All you here is ###### you, mother######. THEY HAVE TWO CHILDREN WHOM THEY REFER TO AS YOU LITTLE MOTHER #######. I had to call D.C.F on these people because they get drunk and he beats her up in the front yard in front of their children. They have their redneck buddies over every week end where they hoot and holler and squeel there tires all hours of the night. It got so bad that I finally couldnt take it so I moved. So I suggest before renting or buying a home do your research, check out your neighbors. Its better to be safe than sorry.

Neighbors let kids throw trash in our yard, write on our garage with lipstick, torment our dogs, yell and scream at us, make fun of our children. Also they mow their grass and shoot it over in my yard for me to clean up. Also their kids broke out a 4ft by 3ft by 6 inch deep hole in the pavement in our street that everybody has to drive around. Now are they rude neighbors?

I have been living at my place for about four years now, and from the day that I moved in, I have never had any nice encounter with my neighbors. The neighbors right next door are retired 80yr olds, the old man is the most anal person in the world, he puts a bucket full of concrete in the middle of his drive way because he is afraid some one will use it to make a U-turn and crack his drive way, so everday, when he leaves, he will get out of his car, move the bucket, drive his car down the drive way, and put it back. He has also come over to my house to yell at me saying my dog barks at him, and if he had a heart attack or fell because he was scared of my dog, he would sue us. And why does my dog bark at him? well he does not only trespass onto my property to use my water to water the small piece of grass between our houses, he intentionally provokes my dog, by watering into the air and when he thinks am not looking, spray my dog. He is also very nosy, when ever we have guests or a mechanic over at our house, he will be standing in his yard looking over, he has even called the land lord complaining our grass is not properly watered. This house that I rent has it’s garage in the back yard, so everyone in the house, which has four cars, park on the street, and since there are only three spots right in front of my house, sometimes we are forced to park on the street by his house, let me remind you that he has only one car and a two car garage. He has written numerous notes on my car demanding very unplesantly that I shouldnt park on the street by his house because he cant see when he backs out of his drive way, or he has guests comming, which he never does. If I do park there, he will put something right in front of my car so that when I leave, I have to back up first then leave. This is just the neighbor next door. The neighbor across the street from me has a big family, there’s one guy who is probably 40-50 that is jobless and is really creepy. Usually when I come home late at night, he will sit on the curb or in his car and stare at me until I enter the house. A few months ago, I was out of town, and my mom told me that he actually followed my roomate’s sister into the house and tried to sexually assult her, she called the police and they took him away, but because my roomate’s sister was scared, she did not file charges and they released him and now I see him walking around again. I really want to move but with the housing price these days, I just dont have a choice.

I moved into a house 3 months after my son was born. My neighbor had two sons with behavior disabilities. Needless to say the single mom didn’t help the situation she only provoked it. She would chain a basketball goal to the power line on the street right near parked cars. When her sons went to play basketball they proceeded to bounce the basketballs and themselves on other neighbors cars. Not to mention they were shooting hoops in the middle of a busy street. The mom would stand in the door and watch. When someone complained about property damage she would start an argument and eventually fight with anyone who begged to differ. After the boys dented a car one day the whole street got very violent with fighting and later gun shots.

I live in a townhouse and up until June of last year it was a very nice, quiet place to live. In fact, I thought my neighbor lived alone- only later did I find out that a married couple lived next door they were so quiet. Well, unfortunately, the quiet couple moved and I now have the most inconsiderate, loud neighbors ever. They have no business living in a townhouse community. It started with loud music (to the point that my kitchen wall vibrates)as early as 7am and as late as 3am. They always park right in front of my house regardless if anyone is parked in front of theirs, they sound like they are having WWE matches complete with body slams on top of the loud music, they put their ‘rat’ dog out on the patio to bark inches from my windows, her son and his friends bully my son to the point he no longer rides the bus to school, the list goes on and on. Now, her boyfriend has moved in with her and her 2 kids and he’s as loud as they are. These people don’t do anything quietly! You can hear them coming when they are still blocks away! Did I mention she put up wind chimes too! All I want is to be able to relax in my own home and not be tense all the time listening to their noise! It would also be nice to be able to park in front of my home once a while too! Hey, I can always dream!

My family is retired military and has lived all over the world and has always gotten along with our neighbors, never had a rude neighbor.

Military usually stick together RIGHT? WRONG? When we retired we moved to the Midwest, we were born and raised here and never had a problem with anyone even 30 years ago. So now up to the year 2000, retired and bought a house, my wife took care of her Mother for the last 10 years of her life. We met all the neighbors in and around the house we bought, on both sides of us. We always talked to them at fenceline, no one in the area ever had block parties or welcome parties nor invited barbeques etc. Just visit over fencelines as we all worked and lead busy lives.

In the Midwest, most people just have family gatherings & family & close friend things.So, Neighbor #1 (this shall be known as PSYCHO NEIGHBOR #1 TO THE WEST, Neighbor), we visited at fenceline like all the rest, they were nice and we didn’t pay much attention to their complaining about neighbors around them, every so often. First it was about the single divorced Mother on the East side of us, they complained about, how she didn’t like them turning around in her driveway, etc, Psycho Neighbor #1 To The West likes to gossip, they are retired Airforce, we are Navy.,no big deal, we served our country with pride.

Then Psycho Neighbor #1 TO THE WEST started complaining about the rental property on the other side of their house, Psycho Neighbor #1 To The West called police so many times on renters, the landlord could not keep his house rented and he knew it was because of Psycho Neighbors #1 . They called police on us (our house we own) Psycho Neighbor #1 To The West owns, also. The last renters to west of Psycho Neighbors #1 WEST , moved out at Christmas time and was so angry with Psycho Neighbors #1 that renters drove over all Psycho Neighbors #1 plastic 5′ Snowmen in yard and busted them all to pieces, and threatened to get even with them. Now in meantime, rental house to west of Psycho Neighbors #1 stood empty…..in the meantime, Father Psycho Neighbor #1 to the west must have gotten bored because NOW HE WAS GONE FOR A MONTH OR SO. (we think Psycho Neighbor #1 to west of us had a breakdown), Meanwhile all is quiet, FATHER PSYCHO NEIGHBOR #1 comes home and immediately calls police on his own son and kicks him out of house, FATHER PSYCHO NEIGHBOR #1 now starts mowing his lawn 4 times a week, and now starts calling the police on us for our golden retriever barking, he barked a couple of times to get in, after being left out to do his business (potty). Police came and said it was disturbing PSYCHO NEIGHBOR #1 to west.

So we MAKE SURE OUR GOLDEN RETRIEVER DOES NOT EVEN HAVE A CHANCE TO BARK, we walk out with him in yard, and back in. Next, PSYCHO NEIGHBOR calls police again because we are parked over the sidewalk 1′ blocking sidewalk, you know how sometimes your bumper is sticking over on your own drive, Police came and said we could not block sidewalk even 1/2′. So Psycho Neighbor #1 to West called police several more time on blocking issue, he told them he wanted police to give us a ticket and was very angry when they did not. Meanwhile, Behind Psycho Neighbors #1, The kids are crossing his yard from neighbors behind. Psycho Neighbor #1 goes ballistic and puts up wire fence from his side of house and was going to attach it to our fence, but we would not let Psycho Neighbor #1 to West of us, psycho neighbor hated those kids cutting through his yard, made him extremely angry, think he had another breakdown and was gone again for 6 weeks this time.

Now he comes home and sweeps the grass under a big tree out back with broom, so no leaves get on his lawn from his own tree! By now, the whole neighborhood all around knows how many time he has called police on us and other neighbors, and now Psycho Neighbor #1 calls City Councilman who get involved, about rock on 1/2 of our drive, and tries to tell us that we cannot have rock in 1/2 of our driveway. Police arrive again to our door and apologize to us for coming again, and says they had a call from Councilman that rock is not allowed.

By that time I had driven around our area and handed police 639 addresses of other people in our neighborhood that had rock in our drive just like ours, they stated a complaint had only been filed on us from Psycho Neighbor #1 on the west, we stated ‘if the police department had nothing better to do, we were making complaints against all 639 drives like ours’ so now they had a lot of paperwork to do.

Psycho Neighbor #1 to West then called police because our porch light was too bright on them, police arrived again, and made us take it out, yes, we had to because it was a complaint, and now Psycho Neighbor #1 to the west, had researched the city ordinances and was going down the list on us. ….by now there were so many complaints by him, oh yes and also our large oak tree about 75 years old had a huge limb hanging over Psycho Neighbor #1’s property he called and complained to the city arborist, who came out to inspect our tree and found a tiny spot on the tree that had to be cut out, which now was costing us $600 to have cut out, but not the limb that was hanging over Psycho Neighbor #1 to west’s property. Really made him crack!!

By now we are really sick of Psycho Neighbor #1 to west, and he now has, rental property to west side of Psycho Neighbor #1 – new neighbors! First thing that happens, new neighbors to west of Psycho Neighbor #1 receives flowers delivered for me, because psycho neighbor would not accept them, we met new renters on west side of Psycho Neighbor #1, very nice people those renters. Psycho Neighbor #1 to the west is mad because now we always speak to new renters to west of them and all the way up west to all houses and back of them and all over the neighborhood.

Latest edition is, we built a 6′ cedar fence on side of pyscho neighbor #1 to west of us, and low and behold, we get a letter stating we have to have a detailed survey, our city survey will not do, because Psycho Neighbor #1 to west complained our 6′ cedar fence was 4/100th of an inch on his property. Psycho Neighbor #1 to west was caught by us and electric company who was talking to us, Psycho Neighbor #1 to west was jumping on their trampoline (mind you not the kids ,the two crazy psycho adults) because after we put the fence up they could not see into our yard anymore and it really made them breakdown!!

They finally did it and poisoned our little cocker spaniel, Dominic he was so loving, he ingested a piece of poisoned meat they threw over the cedar fence. We have a fenced in yard and he was outside going to the bathroom, our golden, Mighty Max and cocker spaniel, Dominic, we kept inside except we always walked them and then we played outside with them, but naturally you let them out to go when they needed to. Never in our wildest dreams, could we suspect they would get hurt or murdered!! We rushed Dominic to the vet but it was too late, he died on the way, we had the vet do an autopsy and he found the poisoned piece of meat in his stomach area. We love our animals so much, and such cruelty is heartbreaking.

Even the policemen that they kept calling had some choice words to say, but they had to do their job. One officer had tears down his cheeks when he heard, he had always petted and talked to our little cocker spaniel when Psycho Neighbor #1 to the west complained. By now you all must guess, attorneys have gotten involved and it is getting to be an expensive ridiculous, time-consuming, thing, when there is so much going on with the economy, the war, politics, and lifes problems in general, it is a crime the city still has to waste it’s time and resources on a nutcase like Psycho Neighbor #1 to the west of us -talk about a rude neighbor.

Thank God we have our other neighbors all around us and in back of us. We fly the American flag and are retired navy after 30 years!
