Do you have inconsiderate neighbours?

Sorry to hear you are having trouble with your neighbours, if you can see your front gate from any window in your house, maybe you should set up a webcam. Then when you catch them on film, take it round to their parents. My neighbour doesn't even answer the door when someone knocks and we hardly see them so in the year we've been living in our house, I think we must have spoken to them all of 3 times. The house the other side of me is empty so don't have any worried there lol

Lucky for me I live in a detached house that's right on the corner ;).

in a sense yes! I am living in a small apartment block on the 2nd floor. The ground floor and 3rd floor belong to the same person and the 1st floor belongs to another family. Now I was not staying in this apartment for 10yrs and during this time, this guy on the top floor and family on the 1st floor have had many understandings between them, like closing the main gate at 10pm, calling a guy to sweep the stairs once a week, filling in the overhead tank once a day and so on. It was all as per their own convenience. Now I am having serious problems with these….most days my hubby comes home after 10om and I have to go down to switch on the overhead lamp so that he can see the keyhole, I find the stairs dirty and ideally would have them swept everyday or at least on alternate days and the overhead tank should be filled at least twice daily otherwise I run out of running water. I have spoken to them many times but they always come up with excuses. Being new, I don’t want to have bad relations with my neighbours but seriously, I think they are being quite inconsiderate.

Your case is worst because our neighbors here only play their music so loud but that happens maybe once in two months so that is tolerable. In your case your front gate is messed up and I think it would be better to find ways to talk to the parents. Of course you have to ask them first if their kids are responsible for the sand in your gate before you tell them that you are not liking what the kids are doing. I hope your problem will be solved as soon as possible because it is better to live in a place where you are okay with your neighbors.

Now i have no more complaits with my neighbor. But there is this incident last year that really anoys me. I have this neighbor that loves to sing in using their 'state of the art magic sing'. They always sing in karaoke with full volume on. Which is you could hear it 7km away. ( But thats exageration of course, hehe ) Meaning the music is so loud. But thats not all.. They do it at late at night where all of us people want a good peaceful sleep. Imagine that?! Inconsiderate indeed. So heres what i do. I report them to our barangay captain secretly.. hehehe. Then this good captain of mine take action. Now only on special occasions they are permited to have sing along until dawn. :)

I totally feel your pain. I'm in an apartment too, and my neighbor is out of control. It sounds like him and his girlfriend are playing rugby over there. On thursday nights, they have friends over to watch movies with their surrund sound speakers, until 1 in the morning. It's gotten very aggrivating over the last month and a half. If you have a good relationship with your neighbor, just mention that you're not sure if it's her kids doing it, but there's been a lot of sand in front of your place. If you don't have a good relationship and you want to avoid confronting her on it, I think your only course of action is to speak with your landlord.

Even in a house you can have bad neighbors. Where we live now the neighbors are fine, but we've lived a couple of places where they were terrible. The back yard of our previous home connected with the side yard of a family of gospel singers. Their yard was messy and they always had a lot of company, but that didn't bother us so much. Then they bought a tour bus. First off they put in a cement driveway to house the bus. Unfortunately, they built it onto our property, so when my husband went looking for the property line stakes, he couldn't find them and had to pay $300 to have the property surveyed. Come to find out, our stake was under their driveway. Next they started letting a teenaged son park the bus, and he'd drive off into our yard leaving large ruts. In addition, they'd go to gigs and return in the middle of the night. They couldn't just stop and get off the bus. They had to back it in, chugging forward and backward over and over until all the neighbors woke up. Talking to them did no good. They'd promise to take care of the problem, but nothing ever changed. We were glad to move away from them. The house we lived in prior to that was almost on the corner but had a row of houses facing the side street next to it. The house that had a backyard facing our bedroom was a rental property. Some of the people who rented it over the years were quiet and no problem. However, one memorable group stands out in my mind. It was a bunch of young men. Although the yard was very tiny, they spent one Sunday outside doing something in it. We couldn't see, because we had a large hedge blocking our view. That night about two in the morning, bright lights came on, and a troop of guys came out on what turned out to be a stage they had built and started blasting loud music. Of course, someone called the cops who put a stop to it. Instead of ceasing the activity, however, they continued to do it, but after waking everyone up, they would hurry back inside before the cops could arrive. I doubt most people have neighbor stories that can top that one.

friend one of my neighbour is rich and they behave as they are only the big peoples and they can do any thing.i don't like there behavior they only think of them self and don't think that they hurt others feelings and brake others heart. So, i shifted to other place, because i cannot live near by them

My problem with the neighbors behind us isn't about kids its about dogs. We have a fenced yard and when the neighbors moved in recently, instead of putting up their own fence they just built off of everyone elses fences. Apparently their dogs don't like people or other dogs because every time we are outside their dogs bark like mad to be let out and they let them out. Their dogs spend the whole time barking, growling, and trying to dig their way under our fence. They are destroying our fence(and some of the other neighbors fences)trying to get through. Its very maddening that we end up having to put our dogs in and usually go in ourselves because its just too annoying to listen to them. So far I haven't done much about it, but if we end up having to replace part of our fence, I'll definately be sending them a bill.

l ever had this kind of problem, too. My that ex-neighbour likes to put their rubbish bags into my rubbish bin since their rubbish bin had been stolen by people. They at first got ask our permission to throw their rubbish temporary into our rubbish bin. My hubby allowed them. So, from that day onwards, they just take their rubbish bags and throw into our rubbish bin just like it's belongs to them. They just very stingy and didn't want to buy their own rubbish bin from that day onwards.. Luckily now, we had moved from there, and a new owner had moved into our house. Im not sure what had happened to them now..

we are lucky we dont really have bad neighbours in the house we live in now, tho on our old house we had neighbours who used to park their cars across our drice so we couldnt get our car off. Eventually we moved out and got this new house, so to be honest once relations are at a point beyond repair its time to move on, tho unfortunatly if your position if its the kids that are doing they will do it regardless as they I assume as too young to understand tho it will get better as they grow up. Tho might be worth a little word nice and friendly with their parents, but I think you are on a hiding to nothing.

My neighbors don't have kids, but you might think they did! lol They are SO loud, obnoxious , and annoying. They're always slamming the door to the point that the pictures on my wall, in the living room, shake and have even fallen off the wall. They walk with what we call "elephant feet" so we can hear every step they take upstairs! They're just very inconsiderate. My fiancee has said something to them twice now, but they didn't stop. We've given up now and know we're moving out this summer, so we're just suffering until then. As for you - I'd keep an eye out. See if you can catch the kiddos doing it, that way you have evidence to confront them with.

Yes and yes! The worst thing is that they are not kids anymore. I am renting a bedspace and I am fully aware that I am not alone in the room. The fact that we are on different schedule they are so unkind to me. I need to sleep early since I am working before the sunrise. What they are doing is very inconsiderate, they left the lights on, they shout, they close the door as if they are so angry and they can't even walk slowly. It may sounds exaggerating but this is so true. Grrr! I can't say this directly to them because I don't want them to get angry with me.

It is a bad luck to have such a neighbor.I am still a student in college,so I live in a dormitory.My roomate and I also have some disharmonies such as character,timetable.Sometimes I feel very morose.Several days ago,I finally screwed up enough courage to have a talk to her and solved the problem.So I think you'd better to ask your neighbor whether his child did it or not.If it is true,tell them don't do it again.If not,just say sorry to them.I think most people must be reasonable.Have a try.Good luck!

I wouldnt call your neighbours inconsiderate, they are children, and thats what children do. The best thing to do is just go to the parents and voice your concern to them, if nothing changes, then they are inconsiderate. I have been through 5 neighbours in the last 4 years, because i have 2 young kids and no carpet in my home, and its a townhouse. So naturally when my boys get loud my neighbours will most likely hear it because our houses are attached. 2 of them have had young kids as well and I never once complained about them. When your neighbours have kids and they get loud, turn your tv up, turn on the radio. I mean if its late at night and they are still running around then you have reason to be angry, but otherwise understand that kids are kids, they are going to be loud and messy, its what they do.

Frankly speaking a lot, every time i shift my apartment i face these kind of problems with my neighbours. Last time, when i stayed in an apartment i had problem with the kids staying next door and they never maintain cleanliness as it is understandable they are kids and that is the reason i shifted my apartment, and now i am facing problems with noise coming from next door. Every day i hear loud music coming from next door not only on weekends but also on weekdays and i have already complained once but still the same.

Yes. In our subdivision there are people who use the videoke until 4 am. I think they are being inconsiderate to those who want to rest. Happy MyLotting!

I guess I didn't touch it,we can get the neighborhood,feeling good!
