Ah, the neighbors. We all have them, and not all of them are necessarily our favorites. Especially when they literally invade our personal space, litter in our backyard, and simply don’t know how to act like a decent human being. Such neighbors in our books are listed as terrible, and today, we intend to expose what behavior is strictly a no-no.

If you happen to come across a post that seems to attack you and your past behavior toward your fellow neighbor, maybe it is time to take a moment and self-reflect. And if you are familiar with a neighbor that fits the description, this is a sign to take action and deal with the problem because you deserve better.

To learn more about neighborly disputes, Bored Panda reached out to Dr. Kinga Mnich, a social psychologist, who kindly answered our questions. Read the full interview below.

    Having an unpleasant neighbor can be challenging, and it is one of the most uncomfortable things about living in a community. The conflicts can range from noise disturbances to property boundaries and even different life virtues. However, if you plan to live where you do for a long time and the neighbor feels the same way, it is probably worth investing your time and energy to resolve the neighborly disputes.

    If the case is a milder one, and you haven’t approached your neighbor about the issue yet, the first step is to try and engage in open and respectful communication. The main key is to share perspectives with one another and try to understand the reasoning behind their actions. You never truly know what the other party is thinking of unless you ask.

    Dr. Kinga Mnich explained how being part of a group, like a neighborhood, affects the way we view and interact with our neighbors, especially when there are problems: "Biases and cultural differences, also even the cultural differences play a significant role and how we judge our neighbors actions."

    She also added: "This can make us hesitant and having open conversations, asking questions, or even how we set up our security system."

    Not every neighbor agrees to settle disputes over a cup of peaceful tea with cookies. Sometimes the tension is too high between the neighbors for one reason or the other. Therefore we asked Dr. Kinga Mnich to share a practical advice that could improve relationships with difficult neighbors and promote a more harmonious community.

    "Sometimes it is unclear if the neighbors are difficult right from the start and just unfolds overtime. Keep your conversation cordial and polite,” shared Dr. Kinga Mnich.

    And though sometimes it seems impossible, the goal should always be to find a friendly solution that benefits both parties. Neighbor disputes can become emotionally draining, yet by approaching them with patience, empathy, and a willingness to compromise, you can work toward a resolution that preserves the peace and harmony of your community.

    The Neighbors Cut Down The Shade Trees In My Yard Without Permission And Now I Have To Look At Their Ugly Garage Which Was Not Visible Before

    I am a renter in this house. Last week the neighbors (whom I have a good relationship with) told me they were having some people come by to do some yard work/trimming and asked if they could access my yard if they needed to. I said yes, but I had no idea they were planning to cut any of the trees down. This morning I came outside and it looked like this.

    This one just make me more sad than angry. So I had to do a bit of research "Trees usually take 20-30 years to reach full maturity, but the growth rate depends on the species, where you plant it, and several other factors." - Quote from https://8billiontrees.com/ This one also reminds of my childhood home. We had a huge cherry right in front of our porch (at least it seemed big as a kid). Every fall my sister and i would get a bucket each and climb up to collect and prepare cherries for marmelade and fresh cherry juice. After we moved i hadn't been there for a year or two but came back to visit the some of the neighbor kids from the street i saw that it had been cut down by the new owners ... I assume the shade was to much for them those 3 months it's summer in Denmark .. sorry for the long post

    Next Door Neighbor Took Down His Deck And Put The Old Wood With Rusty Nails Sticking Out In The Woods That My Kids Play In

    Next Door Neighbor Took Down His Deck And Put The Old Wood With Rusty Nails Sticking Out In The Woods That My Kids Play In

    There’s a lot more that is mildly infuriating like his two-foot-long grass or his collection of pallets and old grills in his yard or his neglected dog that howls all day alone in his house (we’re attached, townhomes)… But this one really got me. We’ve got a little patch of woods behind our house that my young kids play in all the time and he dumped all this stuff back there with the nails sticking straight up. Of course, this is what separates my kids from a fun little creek back there so they’ll want to find a way around it. I already caught my 5 year old trying to climb the pile once.

    Anyway, just felt annoyed and needed to vent. Carry on.

    The only time I could see this being even remotely okay is if the dog owner is recovering from an injury or illness and has nobody else who can or will walk the dog. Even then, they'd have to seriously know their dog well to be sure they won't dart in front of or under the vehicle, stay in an area with little to no traffic, and just barely press the accelerator. Even then, it's still risky because $h1t happens.

    It is quite probable that the upstairs neighbour didn't even know they had a leak. The first I knew when the tank on my boiler split was a banging on my front door. No visible sign of a leak. Water gushing through the ceiling below. Didn't even hear water running. If you go away for extended periods of time, this is why you should have someone come and check on the property regularly.

    I’m In A Brand New House. My Neighbor Feels My Air Conditioner Is Too Loud So He Deliberately Shines His Lights Into My Bedroom

    I’m In A Brand New House. My Neighbor Feels My Air Conditioner Is Too Loud So He Deliberately Shines His Lights Into My Bedroom

    Our house is 2 weeks old and we haven’t installed blinds yet. They are Karen’s that whinge about everything and he is complaining our air conditioner is too loud when he's in the exact same spot on his side of the fence. He emailed the other day saying our air con is against the law and he had an independent assessor review the noise level. I asked for the report and nothing since. We have infant children trying to sleep in the room. Insane.

    We have a neighbor behind us that drained water from his SALT WATER pool into our and our next door neighbors back yard at night so no one would see what he was doing. My husband tied a knot in his hose and jammed it back under his privacy fence.

    I had this happen when I was living in a student apartment in grad school. It was Mother's Day weekend, in fact. The upstairs neighbors got drunk out on their balcony. The balconies were deck-like with spaces between the slats. Someone got sick after drinking. The apartments had sliding glass doors to access the balconies. So someone got sick, the balcony has a slat floor, and my sliding glass door was immediately below it. Yes, it was incredibly nasty. Almost as nasty as how they'd leave a dog out on the balcony all day and all night so it would "relieve itself" on the balcony. Yeah, that place kinda sucked.

    Upstairs Neighbors Didn’t Report A Maintenance Issue. My Entire Apartment Is Damaged

    I have pictures and video of the leak and of the condition of the apartment after the maintenance guys left the one day they were working on my apartment.

    I am considering having them move me but my brain is panicking at the thought of change. I would need a first-floor apartment that is accessible due to my mobility issues and problems with stairs, which are usually limited. I am hoping my brain starts calming down at the thought of moving to another unit because it probably would be the best option.

When I parked first and got in my spot, he parked insanely close to my car with three feet in front for him to move up. He’s been doing this for months. He’s the black truck.

Son is a truck driver so no one home. Absolutely no way of mistaking house number with another because of the way our numbers go. So our crows got a nice breakfast the next day.
