Troublesome neighbours !

I have mixed experiences. I live in a highrise and there are many apartments on each floor. On my floor there are are Polish, Ukrainian, English and Canadian neighbours. We all get along pretty well and look out for each other. However, last year my neighbour across the hall rented out her condo to a new family with 4 adults and one little child. Trouble started right away. One of their bedrooms butts on to one of my bedrooms (the one I am using) There was so much noise all of a sudden (before I never heard a sound of my neighbours) that I called a contractor and had extra insulation and another layer of dry wall put on that wall. It cost me a lot of money. Then these new neighbours started to put out their garbage bags outside their door in the hall and left it there for many hours. Sometimes they ran the vacuum cleaner at 7 in the morning or in the middle of the night, when they were cooking they opened the door to the hall so all the cooking smells drifted into my apartment. I had to place towels against the bottom of my door to escape the fumes. Lots of neighbours complained to the office but they always accused me of complaining to management because I live directly opposite from them. They tell me no one sees the garbage bags except me because their entrance door is recessed so when you look along the corridor you don't see if anything is outside their door. I had to tell them that in this condo complex the super or assitant walks the halls of all floors once each day and makes a report to the office. Furthermore if they open their door the cooking smells drift all along the corridor and you can smell it as soon as you get off the elevator. The office has sent them many letters and also sent letters to the owner who rents the apartment to them. For a while everything was o.k. but last weekend I got really upset. There were two garbage bags, a suitcase and a trundle cart outside their door from Saturday afternoon until Sunday afternoon. I was very tempted to complain to the office but I have to live across from them and I want an agreeable relationship with all my neighbors. I am just hoping the owner will not renew their lease.

For the most part I would say that we are very lucky to have good neighbors on our street. That said, we do have this one female neighbor that is a pain in my behind. We have two dogs and one of our dogs likes to be outside, but she also likes to bark. I had Michela outside one day and she was barking some and the woman walked out of our house and over by our gate and was poking at her with a rake. She really didn't know how to treat the dog.

we live in a three door apartment, and we always have a new neighbor in the first door. we live here for 7 years now and we have new neighbors almost every year. so far the first neighbor we had was the only one who finds fight. lucky they no longer live here. but last month we have a new neighbors and they are the type who always say when they did something for you. last week i forgot to put out the trash and they are the one who put it out. then the wife said that they are the one who brought out the trash on a sarcastic way. it was not a good gesture. it was like they are making a big deal out of it. they are still new here and i guess being sarcastic is not a good way to show this early. his husband smokes like a chimney and almost all the house close their windows when he starts smoking. they always have visitors that sings karaoke in the middle of siesta time. this is the first time we had neighbors like this so help me God.

AS of now we do not have any neighbours were me and my gf live. the only ones we do have are her mom and step dad who do live next door. accross the road is a trucking coompany but that does not bother us at all. it is quiet and peachful in our place here. however we do not pland to spend too much time here. we are looking for a new house in a new neighborhood. we need to move for other reasons but we are havening troble finding a good spot. when we do, things could change.

i am very lcuky, were i live we have a wonderfjul neigborhood and i would not live anywhere else.. i am so content here. all the neighbors know each other, alot of people walk here to the store.. just in my neighborhood. becasue we live in town and have a shopping center behind us.. its kinda neat.. eveyone help each other out and pretty much gets along.. we sit on our front porches even at 3 am and are not scared.. i have adopted an elderly man next door to me and i keep him with plenty to eat and take him lots of fun places and give him lots of love.. he is a special man he's 79.. and we walk every day togehter.. he appreciate the things we do for him.. he tells me every day :)

Yes we have neighbor who is troublesome, He and his family had no friends and every one in the community do not like them. They played music very loud from 5am until 10pm everyday and it irritates everyone in the community. And when my father talk to them they are the one who are angry. They are close minded and do not know how to respect people.

hi krupesh, some people like that they may quarrel with you for simple and silly things, that is their habit,if you find such people do not allow them for any thing,so that they may not entertain with them,but some good people also there to help others,but some more will be there neither they help you nor they ask any help from you,but till now i does not have any trouble with the neighbors since 9 years in my apartment ,have a nice day

i have a few troublesome here. most of them because they against my territory like they close the main street because they feel that they are the owner. it burns me of course. we had a serious fight, but now they realize that they wrong and we just like one good neighbor again.

I'm glad my neighbors are all working, they would come home at night just to rest and sleep. On Saturdays and Sundays they stayed at home but still quiet. We can only hear noise when there are occasions of birthdays where there are videokes and drinking but it's alright, they are aware of the right time to stop.

How funny, I thought of starting a discussion like this because I have a particular neighbor who ALWAYS complains if we park in front of their house. They are new comers and from before they lived their we used to park in front of that house. Now we have learned to never park there but at one time, when they just moved in they would always complain even if we move it really quickly. Another thing about them is that their kids throw all of their balls into our yards.. we don't really care but they never ask for it back. They probably avoid us to the nut.

Generally speaking, I don't have bad neighbours but they are not good either. One of them are arrogant and snobbish while the other keeps shifting my mum's flower pots. The snobbish one is a fat woman who always love to sway her body while walking and always talk about how much money she has. There was once when she struck the lottery and she really had to tell every single one of us how much she won and she will buy so many of the flowers and put it in front of her corridor. This completely irked me. She talks in a snobbish way and her eyes are akin to a dog's. There's a saying: A dog's eye looks down on people.

yes sometimes they become so stupid. and they dont care anymore. but we are just human being, and still believe that no man is an island. so neighbors do anoy us is some ways but they will be the help you need in the future.

Yes, we all seem to have them, the busy bodies and trouble makers on the block. I too have some interesting folk in my neighborhood. Those who for some reason always tend to end up in the middle of it when trouble brews. I had one neighbor in particular who one morning I caught with her hand in my mailbox! She explained that she thought for some reason that the mailman put her mail in my box. Even so, she should have knocked on the door and asked me to check. This is the same neighbor who the week before balled out a teen aged girl in the neighborhood for putting mail in her mailbox that mistakenly got put in the teens mother`s box and the teen was asked by the mother to take it to the neighbor. The teen knocked on the door a few times and got no response so tried to put the mail on the box when this crazy neighbor came flying out the door and got all up in the kid`s face yelling at her to get her hand out of her mailbox. The teen was just being a good neighbor! That`s life though, there`s always one nut in the tree, lol.

i don't like my neighbours. because they are so talktive and always put their fingers in other's pie. when i went out to play with my friends, they always stare at me which let me feel so boring.

I have all types of neighbours around my house. My house is in between five houses and I have neighbours opposite to my house too. One person is very helpful and he was the person who admitted my husband in the hospital when he fell down and was hurt on the road. The front side neighbour is highly selfish. He wants all the parking space in the road for himself to accommodate his tenants and nothing for us, though we have a good building in the same compound. He says his house is facing the road so he has the right and my house is at the backside and only small gate and passage way in the side of the site. Other house is full of noise. They shout and talk, children go on shouting always, weekends are full of extra people and two sets of servants come throughout the day till 9.30 PM and they add their own noise to their backyard, which is just above my kitchen. They keep their dustbin, just above my gas stove and always hit the dust pan and throw the dust in the dustbin. Once I kept milk in the stove, When they hit the dustpan, some dust has fallen in the milk and I had to throw the milk in the sink.

I got allot of gossiper there are 6 or 7 and they live on each side of me and across from me all they do is talk about everybody and run everybody down it's gets so bad that one of the people die from their nasty ways.I try to be nice to different people but as soon as they heard you saying nice things they right out there to say something nasty.My friends use to come over allot to see me but they stare. at them and they ask me why they are doing that my other friends will not come over because of them even my own daughter will not come to see me with my grandchildren she dosen't like them at all. So if you want my neighbours ....You can have them!!! cd

I think just like everything else there's no such thing as perfect neighborhood. In our place,the neighbor at the back is our problem. They have 2nd floor and unfortunately they think that our roof is their dump site!! what the!??! grrrr!

I have had some interesting experiences with my neighbors for sure! When we first moved into our new home, I was 14 and I remember being in the bathroom and just looking out the window to see a man NAKED by his pool. He was wrapping a towel around himself. Maybe he hadn't realized that we were moved in yet, but I remember being scarred. Now, of course, I laugh. That same neighbor, however, always seemed to pick fights. He would blare his music so loudly that the people next to him (he lives behind us) would constantly get into fights. It was awful. We just chose to stay out of it for our own safety, haha. Eventually he settled down. I don't know what was going on, but maybe he was having a rough time. Our neighbors to the left of us are very very very nice. They are always smiley and friendly and they always stop to chat. I love them. Our neighbors to the right of us are interesting. It's not like they're cold people, but they're a bit antisocial. However they always say hello to me when I say hi and give a small smile. I think they're good people. It's very interesting, how different people are. I think neighbours give you a glimpse of that.
