since when are we YOUR landfill!?-bad neighbors

I feel your pain in a similar manner. I had to clean up the massive mess the last tenants left when they were evicted. The back deck, no word of a lie, was 6 feet tall in loose garbage, boxes, household items and rotting food. The back shed was so stuffed full of things that it was a nightmare to even walk in there. It took 170 industrial garbage bags to empty out that mess and that doesn't count the basement they flooded in a foot of water because they blocked the piping with hair extensions and miscellaneous crap like q-tips, tampons and paper wads. It took us 6 weeks of curb side garbage pick up (once a week, two bag limit and pay for tags for anything over 2 bags) to get rid of it all!

wow! That is very rude scarlet, I have not tried that but maybe if I will encounter people like that I will ask them to clean it up! That is very disrespectful! I know no one will ever like to live near with them if they will not change!

That's is awful. I would call the police and the council if they do that to me. Anyway, we have a neighbor here who's got a bit it an attitude. She cleaned her backyard but was too lazy to put her rubbish in the bin. So she dumped them in our yard which is our garden. When my partner saw it he was so furious. He wrote a note and put it in her yard. The following day, she wasn't talking to us anymore.

Oh my goodness...the nerve of them. Where do people get off doing stuff like that. I've erected a substantial 6 foot fence between my home and the house next door which is a meeting house for the Country Women's Association. The wire mesh of the fence goes 2 foot underground, so my animals cannot dig their way out. A few of the (elderly) ladies came out one day to have a look and one of them was saying..."they better not expect us to pay half" the thought had never entered my head even though that is usually what happens. How rude and unpleasant this old girl was being...they actually were obliged to pay half!

Yes our next door neighbors are pigs, absolutely the sc_m of the Earth. They love to throw their trash in front of our house. Now their dogs are pooping in our driveway! I throw everything back to them.

That is ridiculous, I hope the council do something. Why can they not put stuff in their bin, is it really too much to ask? Maybe even leave their bin lid open and they can throw their rubbish in if they are too lazy to go to the bin.

In general my neighbourhood is very pleasant, clean and tidy - except for one family :-( Their front garden is a tip, full of junk, litter, rubbish, broken cars, toys etc., and all this rubbish gets throuwn about the street on occasions. The people living next door to the neighbours from hell are constantly having junk and rubbish dumped into their gardens and no amount of complaining will ever stop these morons from making lives hell around here. My own garden is a often a target for their rubbish as their kids think nothing of sitting on my front wall and throwing their junk over their shoulders into my garden - I'm thinking of laying a wire along the wall and plugging it into the mains so next time those kids start their rubbish dumping they get a shock :-)

That's totally bogus and uncool! Why do people do stuff like that? Once I lived in a place where they chopped down half our hill and messed up our view. That was not cool either.

Hi scarlet_woman! I am lucky that my neighbors are really nice and we respect each other's private lands/properties. I am happy that they are not any way nuisance neighbors. However, I am sad for my father whose other neighbor is really a pain in the neck. His neighbor dump his garbage on my father's trash cans and my father has already reported him to the town officials but nothing has been done to make that nuisance neighbor of his change his ways. Take care and God bless!

Wow scarlet woman! You definitly did the right thing by calling the city. Why should you or your mom clean up someone elses trash? You shouldn't! Is there any way you could call the landlord and notify them about this ongoing situation? If they don't come up with a fast answer then tell them you'll phone the media and I'm sure that will work! Have a good day

I'd sure hate to have those kinds of neighbors. I've never had to deal with anyone that lived that close to me, we've always lived out in the country, so our neighbors aren't very close. However, I do have a sister that has bad neighbors all around her. I went to her house the other day, she has a big yard anyway, but you should see the grass growing next to her yard, its so tall its just weeds, it looks bad, looks like there could be some creepy crawlies somewhere in it..lol. She said the neighbors won't cut it, or just too lazy to do it, she said they aren't going to cut it. Across from her, the neighbors yard looks like a pig pen, they have dogs that go around picking stuff up out of peoples yards and they drag it back to theirs, and they just leave it all piled up in the yard. My sister said that you can't have any kind of yard decorations or anything on your porch because the stupid dogs will come drag it off. The dogs have also been known to chase kids and try to bite them, my nephew said he can't even ride his bike because the dogs chase him. She has called the police about them once, but since theres no leash law there, they couldn't do anything about it, they just told the lady to try to keep her dogs in their own yard, which it never works, because she's never home..

Sounds like you've got a problem. I've rented and sued before, don't put up with it.

Yes I've had people who have tried to squat. My bf has land in the country and a neighbor's son tried to attempt to squat on it. So last weekend we started cleaning up the land so we could plant and start building our home. Some people are so bold face! I once had a neighbor who's dog used to come sh!t in my yard. I like dogs but they need to learn to sh!t at there own home.

I know exactly how you feel. In our old house, we had good neighbors that lived next door to us. One day they moved away and this lady with about 13 adopted children moved in. She kept adopting more and more. They were not well behaved children. They were always loud and ended up throwing toys, garbage, yard fill, anything they could find basically and throw it in our yard. If you catch it early either you can call the police or start heaving it all back over the fence plus some of your garbage.

I have beenfortunate in my neighbors but then I also live in an apartment complex where we all are supposed to behave as adult tenants and not disrupt our neighbors in any way. Arent there laws about throwing trash into a neighbors yard so you can get the police onto them. also I think you should find out the owner of the house and let him or her know how piggish these people are. they might not know how they are behaving unless you tell them. good luck and God Bless.
