unneighbourly neighbours
6 Answers
Do you have bad neighbours? I have great
neighbours and have had for a long time, but
family members, a law abiding couple are
tormented with a set of neighbours who are
vindicative and spiteful. Why do people want
to make other lives a misery? We all have
to live so lets make easy and amicable!!

I am now in my 4th property in 7 years and I kept moving as I had such nightmare neighbours.
Property 1 - woman next door was a certifiable nutter (in fact she had been sectioned more than once). She would wail in Italian at the top of her voice at all times of the day - it was very embarrasing when I had guests. She was also infirm amd had her daughter round every Sunday to do the housework. Daughter would, without faily, hoover in the room next to my bedroom at 9o'clock every Sunday morning which, seeing as my bed was next to the wall was inches from my head.
Property 2 - I lived above a couple who played their music so loud you could hear it half way up the street. The front door banged with comings and goings all the time and the guy also had some sort of early morning job so the door slamming would wake me up every morning at 5am.
Property 3 - worst of the lot. Woman upstairs with 2 young kids. She screamed at them constantly, they ran around (you know how heavy footed young kids are) at the crack of sparrows every weekend. She had a succession of voilent boyfriends who moved in and regularly smashed her place up. Either that or she was throwing their possessions out the window. My porsche was vandalised and I would lay money it was her as I had complained to her landlord. Eventually she was thrown out.
Property 4 - I've now got a house and lovely, lovely neighbours on both sides. Next door have had a spare key for my place pretty much from day one as I immediately trusted them. I regularly walk home from the train station with the guy from next door block one. SO happy here!

We get on 'okay' with our neighbours. On one side they moved in recently and they are very quiet but it's just nods and hellos - the other side is a bigger family and can be noisy sometimes as they have a teenager who is learning to play the drums - but they are fairly sensible and he only plays between 4.30 and 6pm. They just went on holiday and left teenager at home - then it got very loud with all his mates round - and we got loads of cigarette butts thrown over our wall - but when they got back they apologised and all sorted out now.
Our old neighbours are still very good friends - we go out probably twice a month for drinks / meal and my wife goes out with the woman at least once a week.

In our first house, people we knew who lived nearby told us our neighbours had made the previous owners' lives hell. We were on the defensive, naturally, when the old boy stood at his door watching, first, our keyboards and drums coming off the van, and then our motorbikes being wheeled in. But it turned out he and his wife used to play in dance bands and he used to work at the Triumph factory. They turned out to be a fantastic old couple to live next to.
When we moved, it was into my parents' old place and the bloke next door was a right misery - used to tell the kids off for playing football on the green opposite, and reported me for calling the cat in late at night!!!
Our current neighbours are just the best. He's a fellow biker with a heart of gold. They've lent us their car, lent us money, fixed motorbikes and cars for us. He and my bloke have been on bike rallies together. We look after their pets when they go away, they look after our house when we go away.
The people on the other side, we don't have an awful lot to do with, but we're on friendly terms. Same with the other people in our little cul-de-sac (which isn't, really. It's just a road that doesn't go anywhere). We have a couple of Somali brothers across the way, who get into all sorts of scrapes and keep us entertained, an elderly couple who've always got time for a natter, and a Sikh couple who run the pub down the road, so there's always a welcome there for us.
I'd love never to have to move, but sometimes it seems too good to last.
