Bad Neighbours

Oh my gosh, that's shocking!!! What a weird/horrible thing to do what did you do/will you do to get back at her?

My neighbours haven't done anything like that, but they are in their 50s and have raging parties every 2nd weekend over summer. But as a special treat they had TWO parties this weekend!! At least on Friday night they stopped at 1am, but on Sat night they STARTED at 1am (when they got home from the Sevens)

Haven't done anything to retaliate yet, someone suggested taking DD outside at 7am after one of their parties and let her be noisy outside *their* bedroom window

Dunno if I'd retaliate or call the police for vandalism! A visit from the coppers might scare her into better behaviour.

Urgh one of our neighbours is completely psychotic. We were throwing a ball against the fence that joins our properties. Sure it makes a noise, but we are doing it in the late afternoon at a reasonable hour, and this fence is down the very very back of their really really long back section, miles away from their house. Not to mention they live ten metres away from a main railway line, so it's not like we were disturbing the peace!

The guy that lives there has asked us once before, very rudely, to stop making that noise because it pisses him off. So we used a softer ball to make less noise, and a couple of months later we are doing it again and he comes out and full pelt yells at us, using a swear word for almost every word in his sentences. That guy has serious anger issues and needs to chill out! Asking politely and being civil would get you a much better response.

This from the guy who mows his lawns right outside out bedroom window, once a week, at bloody 7 o'clock in the morning while I'm trying to get DD to sleep in for another hour or two. Grrrrr he makes me so mad, but he's a very, very angry man, so we wont be doing anything to retaliate for fear of our safety

Our neighbours play loud bassy music at all hours from their garage. DD's room faces onto the bit closest to the garage so it's really annoying. DH has called noise control on them at 3am some mornings because he has a headache from their music and can't get to sleep.

The police visited them late at night a few nights ago, DH went out to check what the noise was and 1 of the guys jumped over their fence onto our property to hide from the police. DH and our flatmate told him to go jump and get lost back over the fence.

some of you have bad neighbours. the worst thing our neighbours have done is refused to give permission for us to spend 6k to get arborists in to chope down the HUGE bluegum trees that are blocking all our houses from getting sun.
because they dont want the cranes/trucks going over the driveway as it 'might' crush the drain underneath.

I hate to think about what our neighbours think of us! Well not us, mainly just my grandparents who seem to be day/night confused (so sleep during the day and up all night)...

Anyway, our neighbours all seem to keep to themselves but we do have one weirdo neighbour who literally drives all over the road and cuts you off constantly, esp as we share a drive way. One of these days he is going to cause a crash.

Did she deliberately do it?

Do you have a local community constable - its prob better to contact them in the first instance, have  chat about your concerns and just see what they would advise. A quiet chat from a "local" police officer rather than "the cops"....will prob work wonders!  Even if it doesnt happen again, I would still give them a call - just to let them know that it has happened, that way if anything more serious happens, they have a record of it.

We used to have a "family" of courier drivers next door to our old place, they would go out and start their diesel vans at 4.30am and leave them running to warm up for at least 30mins before tearing out of the street, the driveway was right next to our bedroom window so not a nice wake up each day. They also used to get really trashed and very loud, so one sat night DH leaned over the fence and asked them to keep the noise down....they came over and started banging on our front door and trying to kick it in, threatening us and being really agressive. I was freakin terrified!! They were big big blokes who were very drunk. We rang 111 and they basically said that they couldnt do anything about it. Not a nice experience. We lived in fear of our neighbours for another 3mths before they moved out - thank goodness. Interestingly, after they moved out I was talking to the property manager, who told me I should have contacted him straight away and he would have kicked them out! DOH - didnt think to let him know!

 

Hmmm where do I start with mine...

The latest incident was last weekend. Neighbours ditched their kids with us and went out without telling us..... 3 hours later they finally came home.. apparently cos they left a note on their front door that was supposed to make it ok. The only reason we found out is cos I told the kids it was time to leave cos we were getting ready to go out ourselves only to be told that no one was home. Makes me wonder how many other times they've done it actually

Its just one more thing in a long line really... they usually blame their odd behaviour on being American - I'm not sure why that matters myself!

It was ages ago now  - but they basically said that unless they actually "did" something they wouldnt be able to send anyone around. Apparently them threatening and screaming at us wasnt enough?!?!?
