Sad to say, I am unlucky cause my neighbors are inconsiderate. They tend to be very noisy even very late night until morning. When they have videoke sessions, it was too loud as if they do not have any other neighbors, and worst is that they drink just beside my wall and have very loud trashy kind of talks.
I could not leave this place since I grew up here and my friends are nearer here.
So, can you say that you are lucky with your neighbors? ;)

Sorry to know that you are unlucky too. ;)
You are pertaining to just one person? But of course even it was just one person if she can really disturb her neighbors daily, she could be very irritating.
Almost all neighbors near me are can be called inconsiderate. One neighbor will sound trip very loud with bass effect or you can really feel the echo, it is usually in the morning and afternoon. Other one would karaoke as if he was in the club and his singing voice is.... no comment LOL it was also in the morning or afternoon. The other neighbor household would also having karaoke from night till dawn.
I also create noise when I need to repair a furniture or something in the house. :P
And our dog also barks when he is seeing the dog of our neighbor poo in front of our gate. LOL

Poor you when you have a neighbor like that. You can say to them, they are living not alone in the island. They should care the others people around also.
My neighbors are ok, they are quite friendly and never make noisy at the late time.

You are very lucky.;)
Well, I had done that and we even have face to face discussion in a local office here. But it seems that I am the one irritating for them as if I am the bad guy. They are the ones who got angry and say bad words to me. And they think I am the villain in the story. LOL

I can say I am lucky to live in a peaceful place.
Noise is not allowed during weekdays especially at night.
Videoke is allowed during weekends but still have limited hours or else you will be reported and you will be given warning from the baranggay.
My place is so peaceful especially during daytime.
Honestly, I miss kids playing and their tiny voices....maybe because kids stays at their homes playing computer games.

You are lucky to have barangay officials there that really works.
Here, even I had complaint in the barangay, they seems not serious on their duties. They will give warning and would not check if its already okay or not. So those inconsiderate neighbors are like powerful creatures who can do whatever they want without fear on those officials. No rule to be followed! LOL

awww..i complain about noisy neighbours here in mylot often. To some, it is trivial... but cant they make a law on that? Some people can really be inconsiderate. they can sing all night long if they want but cant they just keep it to themselves rather than blowing the whole neighbourhood off with their infernal racket.

My neighbors have been a rather mixed bag over the years with how considerate that they have been. I think that I have been blessed with some rather good neighbors, who are rather nice, we have words, they don't do anything too obnoxious, and they really do not inspire me to build a sound proof wall right around pretty much every inch of my home to block them out.
Then over the years, I have had some bad neighbors. Who have thankfully long since moved on right out of my life and I did not shed a tear the day that they had left the neighborhood. There are just times where people have no consideration and most importantly, no common sense whatsoever, as they are loud and rather a nuisance to the neighborhood. But they are long gone and the neighborhood is more peaceful, so things are good.

I actually had that thought of sound proofing all of our walls but sadly to say, cannot afford it at this moment. :0)
I would also not shed a tear if they will decide to move on and maybe will call for a celebration for it. LOL
Good thing that your annoying neighbors are long gone.

really sad plight for you having those barbaric neighbors.as if they live alone.i can say that i am lucky with my neighbors.they look after us and in return i look also after them.example,if they go on a vacation,i look out for their house and vice versa.we seldom chat because we are all busy in our respective works but we exchange pleasantries if we see each other on the road.me and my neighbors don't gossip but if there are emergencies,my neighbors are fast to help!

I can feel your frustration and relate to your helpnessful regarding your noisy neighbors who are so incosiderate of others, i personally had experience such type of holligans living next to me. They just don't care much about the existence of others people that require silent and quiet time in order to have peace, all they can think of are for their own enjoyment and fun in their living. I just don't know how long can you stay sane from your neighbors' loud activity into the deep night without snap, i do hope you can come out with a sensible solution to take care of your problem quickly without delay, if you let the situation continue into the future, chances are you will become sick and insane sooner than you might think, all these loud noises in the middle of darkness not only entitled you the rights to endless sleepless nights, they can potentially destroy you a pieace by piece physically and drain you away emotionally over time. I know it is a real pain in the a*s having to deal with noisy and inconsiderate neighbors in one's life, there is no easy solution having to deal such type of personality among people. Sometime going to police is not a solution at all, after the police are gone, the same will repeat itself few days later. Sigh!!

I must say I'm really lucky with our neighbors. Why? Because in our area, most are our relatives. (^^,)

YEah, I am like you- i kind of hate my neighbors even though i don't personally know them, they are just so inconsiderate too- I dread fiestas and birthdays since they karaoke all afternoon and night and dawn too. Their voices are so awful, it's hard to sleep...they even played cards/gamble with very loud voices on weekdays.

My neighbors are lazy too but not to the point that
we cannot tolerate them. They're noisy but only at
daytime. Most of the time it's quiet and peaceful here.
We live in the subdivision that's why the noise is limited.

My neighbours both work in shifts. One neighbour has an autistic son who loves to jump day and night plus throwing water balloons in my garden. I get used to it, we seldom speak but do accept parcels etc for eachother. I think I am lucky with the kind of neighbours I have. They don't bother me and I don't bother them.

Nice of you for being understanding and nice that you are lucky. ;)
The case with the autistic son is very forgiven and must be understood. But if its mature people who does not have any condition that can hinder them to think right, it is a different story. LOL

I am really very lucky becuase I have my family members as my neighbors. So we have a good relation with them and we had a good time. We used to share each of the things and we have compromises between us and we have a good time and I am lucky to have my family members as my neighbors.

I am very lucky with my neighbors because I cultivate friendships and try not to be rude even if they are grumpy. It is not good living next door to someone who is rude and arrogant or someone who leaves their rubbish in the street for the garbage collectors to pick up. It is better to have a good relationship with your neighbor because you never know when you will call on them. There might be an incident happening at the house while you are at work, such as an emergency or an illness and you need the neighbor's help. When I moved into the house I presently live in I brought cake to three of the neighbors and we talked about things happening in the neighborhood. We keep an eye on one another's property and if one of us wants to make a renovation close to their property line, we talk about it first.

I have the neighbour from hell. She complains constantly and is also nasty and spreads lies about me and the neighbours on her other side. I'm good friends with them.
I could write a book about her wrongs but I try not to be too caught up in my life with her misery.

I used to be lucky until not long ago we had grave misunderstanding with our neighbor who happened to be a very closed kin. The fence wall in between us who always served as our passage to easily get into each others house has been closed since the incident. I have no problems thou regarding the noise, litter etc but the mere fact, the once good relation between us had been broken makes me and the whole family very unlucky. My mom wants to sell the house and move far away from them as we see no chance of reconciliation.

It's very sad to hear that. It's really a big thing to have cool and open minded neighbours. I mean, I'm young and of course in my neighbourhood there are lots of parties but my neighbours are capable of understanding and they don't make a big deal.So I guess I can consider myself lucky.:)

When i lived in an apartment a couple of months ago we had obnoxious neighbors that according to your description were much worse they would constantly fight and sometimes neighbors were forced to call the police because it got violent. Even though we called the police multiple times they just kept going at it. We solved this by talking to the landlord who after months finally evicted them. So if you live in apartment complex is too talk to your landlord because that was the only solution we had.
