Do You Have A Good Neighbor Or A Bad One

[Cybercabz]

Do you live in peace and have nice neighbors that are no bother or do you have a nuisance anti social neighbor and some one who has it in for you.What do you do to try and keep the peace if you have to.

my neighbours are lovely,we live in a cul de sac and know each other well,(5 houses)they always ask if I need anything and generally help me if needed,i know I can chap on any of their doors and get help if needed.

We only have one neighbour, a family of Romanians, they are great people and we have no problems at all, very respectful and thoroughly pleasant.

I live in a quiet street with lovely neighbours...apart from those next door to us. We call them Vicky Pollard and Forrest Gump.

We have tried our utmost to be reasonable with them and have at times gone the extra mile, but to no avail. Vicky Pollard in particular tells her husband the most outrageous lies about us, which fires him up and the next thing we know is he is banging on the door, ranting like a madman.
We have given up trying.

[ummmm]

Mine are nice. We have Polish one side and when we take in parcels for them they bring us beer :-)

he obviously hasn't felt the full force of a sand filled marigold

One recent example - they had an extension built. No problem.
When WE had an extension built, later the same year, he appeared on the doorstep ranting that we hadn't had the courtesy to let them know.
Mr O pointed out that THEY hadn't had the courtesy to let us know.
On that occasion he slunk off with his tail between his legs

I am blessed with lovely quiet neighbours each side.
One neighbour says she will never move from here, but the other neighbour is thinking of moving away to be near family. Estate agent has been and I just pray for another lovely neighbour to take her place.

I'm very happy with my neighbours especially one who is very helpful to me with jobs etc. My next door neighbour tends to have her tele on quite loud but she is 90yrs old bless her, so I can't complain.

We have helped our Romanian friends out as well so the youngest, 13 years old girl often picks daffodils on our track up to the house for Carakeel and they make lovely sweets for us and the other day the daughter and her boyfriend spent 5 hours valeting our dog hair ridden car.

I have perfectly reasonable friendly neighbours. Both have annoying cats though, and I can't tell which, or whether it is both, that destroy my garden and leave their faeces everywhere. I blame first one and then the other.

we all live in peace and try and keep the peace.

echo Kate
I have wonderful neighbours

[Maydup]

All quiet here thankfully. We are detatched as are our neighbours on both sides. We see them to nod to on a sunny day and that's about all. Suits us fine.

I'm lucky enough to have a good, quiet neighbour now, but I used to have a nightmare ones. Loud music and shouting at all hours. They almost drove me mad. I tried to have a quiet word, but they seemed to think they could behave as they liked. It only ended when I moved out.
Are you having a problem, Cybercabz?

[wildwood]

3 houses up one shared drive. Not so much a problem with the neighbours but they both have gates so their friends/visitors park on the drive, making it difficult for us to back our cars out to turn into the drive.

Apart from that, no problem. The occasional party but music is always turned down at 11pm.

[Cybercabz]

Not having any problems im just interested in the subject

Nearest neighbor here in our part of the western U.S. is nearly 3 miles away if one saddles up and rides cross country... more like 5 miles by county road. All are great... except that time and again, if I'm having difficulty with a problem with livestock, a fence repair, a water pump or other such, I can count on, mid-way through the work, being pleasantly surprised by a soft Texas accent (yep, Bart's a transplant) behind me saying "Ya'll need some help?" I haven't figured out yet how he does that...

Things have improved since the death metal band moved out, not at least the garden. The only problem with the new ones is the mother and daughter sound like two parrots caught in a shredder:(

Just read your post about your neighbours' cats. We used to have a similar problem, and then a friend gave us a tip. Get one or two imitation dogs, the bigger the better, plut them in the garden and the cats will think they are real and keep away. Moved them around to keep the cats duped. It worked for us. One poor dog only has three legs now, one having broken in a storm.
