Most of us know how incredibly important it is to live next to people who we like (or at least tolerate). When you get along with your neighbors, things are great. Unfortunately, the opposite is also true! A truly bad neighbor—likely from the 5th circle of hell—can make you miserable. And you should see how poorly they communicate…

Our team here at Bored Panda has curated a list of images showing what kinds of messages and notes some awful neighbors have actually sent. Some of them are relatable, and others might make you laugh through tears. Scroll down to see how nonsensical and frustrating things can get.

Bored Panda got in touch with social psychologist Alison Jane Martingano, Ph.D., for a chat about how people can connect with the people in their neighborhood, as well as how to have empathy for problematic neighbors. Martingano is an assistant professor at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, the host of the 'Psychology and Stuff' podcast, and runs the 'What Do You Mean?' blog on Psychology Today. You'll find our full interview with her below.

The most amusing point when someone is ranting about "dirty pigs" is the fact that these animals are very clean if they aren't kept in staples by humans...

I guess they're sometimes kept in 'stables', because you can't keep a pig in a staple!

Despite popular belief, pigs are actually quite clean. They just use mud as kind of a sunscreen and a way to keep cool.

    I had neighbors about six years ago that had three dogs. They would just let the dogs out (off leash) and let them go wherever nature let them go, but it was in my front yard. Our kids used to play there, soccer, tag, sword, fights and you name it. my last straw was when my son came home with dog poop caked on his shoes. I used to work early morning I had to have a babysitter come to my house to watch my son at 4 AM so I could go to work at a bakery. So, on my lunch break one day I decided I’m going to gather all of the stuff I can in a bucket. (this is after I’ve asked them several times to pick it up, because our kids play there!! DUH). I waited until my next early morning shift, knowing that they slept in and it was summer, to dump the entire bucket, right outside of their car door on the drivers side. I came home for my lunch break and watched this man slip in dog poo. It was the most satisfying thing I have had in a long time. If you have an animal pick up after it.

    The question is, does the cat poop and p**s in the other garden? Because the reasoning "it's in their nature and can't keep them from it" is exactly what cat owners use. And they refuse to come pick up the poop of their cats in my garden.

    Cats should not be allowed to roam wildly. It's dangerous for them, they hunt and kill the wildlife, and other people don't have to put up with their pee and poo. I have four at the moment, so I clearly love them, but I understand other people may not love them so much. My cat, my rubbish.

    Kept telling my neighbor her dog was wreaking havoc in my gardens and to keep it secured. Always with the excuses, but never with the training. One day the mutt got in my yard, chased my cats, destroyed a flower bed, and I'd had it. I caught it, and took it to a shelter towns away. Screw you, lady.

    You didn't screw the owner, you screwed the poor dog. I honestly think you are a coward and a bad person, because you've harmed the weak, innocent animal instead of facing the owners and do what you have to do. I hope karma really works and you get in your life all the sadness you caused to that poor animal.

    According to Social Psychologist Martingano from the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, most adults are “missing out” on the benefits of talking to people they don’t (yet!) know. "People miss out on these benefits for three main reasons: lack of intention (underestimating the joy of these conversations for themselves and others), lack of competence (not knowing how to hold these conversations), and lack of opportunity," she explained to Bored Panda in an email.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    The host of the ‘What Do You Mean?’ blog said that people need to overcome these barriers in order to promote conversations with their neighbors. “First, individuals may not want to talk to strangers, or [they] believe strangers do not want to talk to them. People have a good sense that a conversation with a friend will be enjoyable, but with strangers, we are anxious and more likely to assume it will go badly."

    There is, however, a very positive caveat! "Research shows that people enjoy conversations with strangers more than they expect!" Martingano shared with us.

    Cheap new builds in the UK. Used to hear neighbours "at it". We used to make over dramatic loud fake s*x noises at the wall when it was bad. They moved out after a while. The other option if they have a cat, befriend the cat to the point cat prefers hanging with you. That also causes neighbours to move out.

    This doesn't sound unreasonable, and you can understand feeling too uncomfortable to bring up in person. Just tighten the screws, and put some padding behind the headboard so it doesn't thump.

    Unless you can bolt the headboard to the wall, foam buffers. Pool noodles and zip ties for those on a budget.

    "We also underestimate the other person's interest in conversing. Looking for things like positive body language, eye contact, and smiling can provide clues that they might want to chat," she said.

    "Second, people may feel they don't have competent interpersonal skills to break the ice and start a conversation with a neighbor. We worry about being likable and appearing competent but don’t know how to create these impressions. Generally, asking questions and sharing something a bit personal can create a positive impression."

    She continued: "Third, folks may simply not see the opportunities in their everyday lives to speak to someone new. We often don’t think of bumping into our neighbor in the hall as an opportunity. If we go a little slower, we may see that there are more opportunities than we think."

    Bored Panda was interested in finding out how people can have more empathy for their neighbors who are known to cause them trouble. After all, at least some friction and misunderstandings are inevitable between people who live in close proximity to one another.

    "To foster empathy in these situations, it's crucial to practice perspective-taking. This involves actively trying to understand the experiences, motivations, and feelings of our neighbors, especially in challenging circumstances. As I often discuss in my talks, empathy is like a muscle that requires regular exercise," Martingano said.

    However, she warned that people can overwork their empathy 'muscle' or they can try to 'pick up' a weight that's too heavy for them at the moment. "In cases of friction with neighbors, you don’t want to start trying to practice empathy by discussing their opposing political views. Begin with smaller exercises. For example, ask them what they think about the new garbage collection system or school bus route. Areas of minor disagreement can be a great place to start practicing seeing things from someone else's point of view before picking up the larger dumbbells," the expert suggested.

    Had a neighbor like this. So many sundays 7am woke up to see people from front houses all in their pj with a robe on just looking at him all togheter. Sometimes he even spot us and waved hi, to go back to his lawn business undisturbed.

    We woke up to the sound of a chainsaw and trees falling. We and other neighbors went out and found a man clear cutting an area we knew should not be cleared. We had talked to the land owner about using a bit of the land and had gotten a big nope. We asked how he got permit to clear the trees and he pointed to the woman who lives on the other side of the land. Turns out she didn't have a permit to clear the land, she just said so because she "wanted some morning sun". That morning sun cost her 10000€.

    I'm not sure how this would end if officials would be involved. There have been lawsuits in Germany where children got banned from playing outside because they were "too loud". In one case they were not longer allowed to use a soccer field because the ball made to much noise when it hit the wall or the fences...

    I once went to a major-league baseball game, and the lady (on a cell phone) behind us kept screaming at my son to calm down, be quiet and sit. The ushers saw I was getting kinda ugly at her for treating my son like that, so they simply moved us up to the front. "Lady, it's a freaking baseball game! He's SUPPOSED to stand up and cheer!"

Even better, when the police tell her that no laws are being broken, and not to waste their time on frivolous complaints. (I'll be sure to pack up some cookies for the officers to enjoy later!)

    The interesting thing is that you can ‘exercise’ your empathy, even without any real people. “We can practice empathy while reading by trying to understand the feelings and motivations of fictional characters. Movies, theater, and even visual arts like the enigmatic Mona Lisa can serve as tools to enhance empathy. Think of these experiences as your empathy gym, a place where you can exercise your empathy muscles in a fictional environment, without the risk of offending anyone," Martingano told Bored Panda via email.

    "Then, when you find yourself in a challenging exchange, where it's harder to discern feelings or perspectives of your neighbors, your empathy muscles will be stronger, thanks to these smaller, manageable practices."

    And even if there is a reasonable explanation and nothing is going on, it's the job of a parent to teach their child social rules. Failure to do so will cause your child to be disliked by everyone around them, and that is a terrible way to live.

    Kinda assumptive, don’t you think? It’s more likely that the child was trying to draw a long-bodied insect with multiple legs or even an alien/monster he imagined, as a child drawing a picture of the male anatomy & giving it to someone is guaranteed to get them in trouble with mom & dad. I doubt they’ll want to risk getting spanked or grounded! 😅

    In an ideal world, we’d all know and like our neighbors. We’d also all probably live in such a way that there’s a good balance between privacy and being social when we want it. And we’d all be able to solve any issues that crop up because we’d be proficient in diplomacy, clear communication, active listening, and looking for compromises.

    We don’t know whether you’ve noticed it or not, but we certainly do not live in an ideal world. Tension and friction can and do lead to arguments between neighbors over everything and anything: noise, rudeness, annoying behaviors, bad habits, zoning issues, etc. Far from everyone’s capable of overcoming these neighborly challenges and miscommunication with grace and calmness. The reality is that fewer people know their neighbors now than decades ago.

    Nor is everyone self-aware enough to admit that they might, in fact, be causing problems for someone else. Many people have an ego. When you bring up a problem with their behavior, they can get defensive or aggressive. Some people are so touchy that they even see friendly requests about not playing the music so bloody loud at night as a personal affront. How dare anyone not like their massive midnight parties on a work night?!

I work at a Ice Cream place ( no indoor eating thank the heavens) where thankfully 95% of people are nice and respectful but there's been more than once ( once too many) where people just left their trash on the outside tables or the parking spots when they ate in the car, when the trashcan is literally a few feet away

    The first step to overcoming any issue with your neighbors is talking to them about the issue itself. You can leave them a friendly little note, send them a message (if you have their number or you’re connected on social media!), or chat with them the next time you see them outside. However, if it’s a more pressing problem that’s literally impacting your day-to-day life, consider walking up to their front door and asking them if you can talk for a couple of minutes.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    We all enjoy seeing justice being done. Naturally, when we confront someone who’s done us wrong, we imagine all sorts of scenarios where we come out on top and our neighbors are remorseful for their God-awful behavior. But reality is often very different from our power fantasies. The fact is that if you start off the conversation angry, judgmental, and confrontational, you’re only making things worse. 

    It’s usually best to be as cool and collected as possible. Start your conversation with your neighbor in a friendly or neutral manner. Explain the situation to them. Tell them how their behavior impacts you and how it makes you feel. You should try to avoid outright blaming them for things, even if they are 100% in the wrong. Remember, your goal is to get them to stop their current behavior and become more neighborly. If they start resenting you, they might make your life hell just because they can get a rise out of you.

    I can understand the note about dog bags IF THIS WAS A PRIVATE RESIDENCE TRASH CAN NOT A TIP. When my dog was still alive, I would occasionally walk with other dog owners. One in particular would drop her horse sized poos into any random trash can. The first time it happened I was stunned but thought maybe it was a one off. The next and last time we walked together she did it TWICE. I didn’t make myself available for walks after that because I didn’t want anyone associating me with that. I’d already had it out with a fellow resident who tried to accuse me of allowing my dog to go where forbidden and then not policing it. Not often I’ve had to explain horse sized dumps don’t come out of my 30lb dog. Literally had to open the bag I had in my hand to show her the size dumps I had to worry about. Couple of weeks later I discovered the accuser was the one that actually was dog sitting the horse sized dog and was totally the responsible party

    Many people are perfectly reasonable. They’re willing to come to a compromise with you when they realize they’re in the wrong. But it’s essential that you take the time to actively listen to their perspective, too. Show them that you’re understanding and reasonable (so long as they’ll be the same…).

    Take the time to connect with your problem neighbors… at least on a superficial level. It’s more difficult to do nasty things to people we personally know and like. Finding or creating some common ground between all of you can help you solve any future problems much more easily. And you never know, you might genuinely end up becoming cordial in the future.

    Some of us have had experiences where problematic people eventually become our friends. But you won’t get there by accident. You need to put in the effort to get to know them. That might mean taking a few minutes to talk to them in the hallway or driveway. Or it may mean that you’ll be putting in the energy to get to know them at your local events. Consider inviting them to a barbeque or neighborhood party if you’re throwing one, too. 

    ADVERTISEMENT
    ADVERTISEMENT

    However, let’s not be naive. Not everyone is rational. Not everyone is reasonable. Not everyone is willing to set aside their ego and admit that they’re the jerk in a particular situation. Self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and humility take concerted effort over a long time to develop. So if your friendly chat (or two, or three!) doesn’t get through to your neighbor, it’s time to escalate things. Talk to your local council, building administrator, or neighborhood association about the problem. Ask them to mediate the conflict.

    Back when Catholics couldn't eat meat on Fridays, a protestant moved into a Catholic neighborhood. Every Friday night, he'd grill a steak. After awhile, this really got to his neighbors, and they talked him into converting. At his baptism, the priest sprinkled Holy Water on his head, and said, "You were born a Protestant, you were raised a Protestant, and now you're a Catholic." Next Friday, the guy's out grilling his steak. The neighbors come over to tell him that's not allowed. The get there just in time to see the man sprinkle water on the steak and say, "You were born a steer, you were raised a steer, and now you're a fish."

    If the local organizations and administrators can’t seem to get anything done, you might need to get in touch with your local law enforcement. In these situations, it helps if you have some evidence to back your claims up. You don’t want everything to devolve into a “we said/they said” sort of deal where your neighbors will go back to their old habits the moment the officers leave. In the worst-case scenarios, you will want to talk to your lawyer about taking your neighbors to court if they are actively harming you and damaging your property.

    When you call the police, show them Malcolm's note. They might want to talk to him about a citizen's duty to report a crime. And if they know their job, Malcolm should be their first suspect. By his own admission, he had means, opportunity, and of course motive.

    Seems to me, if it's a former military dog, it probably worked in bombed-out buildings. Maybe all it would need is a 2" gap to get its claws in and tear the fence down; maybe that's why they installed a fence that had so much over-lap in the first place? Seriously doubting the $100k valuation, though. Hard to really say.

    Value of dog? Depends. If you calculate the cost of buying, raising, training, feeding and then transport to Afghanistan and back? Could very well be that amount. If you found the dog somewhere and didn't know what they did before, it'd probably just the regular price for a middle-aged shepherd-dog. So - it depends but it's not outrageously expensive when you consider all that into the price.

    I'm not buying the "worth $100K" bit. Possibly it was a duty dog that someone said costs 100K to train and transport and so on. But if he has it that means it is retired and 'just a dog'. Loved (hopefully) but not worth 100K.

    I was living in the top floor of an apartment building. And one night I hear the sounds of loud fighting. Due to some weird acoustics in the building, it sounded like it came from above me. I was the top floor, there was no such thing as above me. The lady who lived below me heard it as well, but she had called the cops. Who promptly showed up on my doorstep thinking it was coming from my apartment. I didn't let them in because I was embarrassed I hadn't cleaned. Later learned the cops had reported to the neighbor they thought it was suspicious I didn't let them in, and were convinced it was me. I lived alone. No one was ever in there but me. It was all very weird.

    My in laws kept getting complaints from their upstairs neighbour for throwing all night parties and playing blaring music. They're in their 70's and go to bed at 9pm. Turn out upstairs neighbour had worsening dementia and this can lead to severe auditory hallucinations. The anti-social behaviour team for the council assessed the complaint and made a referral for the complainant to social services instead. So a good outcome in the end.

    Happened to a guy we know too. The cops knocked on his door many times, only to find him silent and alone. Then one night they knocked again. He didn't open so the called him on the phone. He was in another country. The cops never knocked on his door again. It's likely the neighbor that made the complaints was psychotic.

    Take the note to the leasing office and explain just that. It’s their responsibility to handle noise complaints whether or not cops are called and they can help if the other party retaliates. Also, if you are the one complaining about noise. Outside of business hours, call the cops. They can investigate and provide warnings and citations to the guilty party. During business hours, contact your leasing office. I’ve had to deal with both types of issues (one accused me of allowing my dead dog to bark incessantly the previous night. He’d been dead 6 months. )

    I f*****g hate these oversized vehicles. The hospital I work at is on a main road through the mid/downtown area of my city. The road is plenty big for normal size vehicles, but small-dicked a******s that think they need super big trucks are too wide, so they always take up a bit of the other lane. Which then causes me to have to swerve to avoid them. JUST DRIVE A NORMAL SIZED VEHICLE. No one is impressed with your stupid oversized ugly a*s truck.

    In my state (I think most states) that truck is not legal. It's hard to be sure from this angle but tires appear to go past all vehicle. The mud guards are required to be as wide as the tires so you don't blind other drivers with spray on wet roads. Also flipping up rocks and such. It doesn't seem to be heavily enforced but if a 'concerned citizen' reported it they might issue a citation.

    You can't see the back of the vehicle to know if it has flaps that are as wide as the tires or not. And in a lot of states that truck doesn't even need to have mud flaps at all, since it is not a commercial vehicle and likely not over 6,000 lbs.

    3pm Saturday afternoon during COVID I'm down the bottom of my garden routing out a new kitchen worktop, unbeknownst to me, my neighbour is throwing a hissy fit over the fence at my wife. I look up, storm over and say aggressively "stop swearing at my wife", he rants about all the noise I'm making. I've been doing this 10-15 minutes, have about 5 minutes left. I explain that if he has an issue to use his words and maybe ring the doorbell, I'm doing it at the bottom of the garden to minimise disruption as I know it's noisy, he asks in future if I'm going to make noise could I ask him for permission a week in advance. This is a guy who wakes us up at 6:30am masturbating loudly (wife bit her tongue on throwing that at him, it didn't occur to me). Anyway, the bit I missed was him kicking the everliving cr@p out of his own fence and breaking 2 fence posts. He's an utter prick.

    My sister in law actually called the police to have a car towed from in front of her house as it was in "her" spot. A perfectly legally parked car that was not encroaching on her driveway or impeding traffic on a PUBLIC street. What was the real kicker was the note left on the dash giving the owner's contact information in case of emergency. She was a teacher at the school up the street and was chaperoning a 6th grade field trip. She parked on the street because she didn't want to chance her car getting locked in the school lot. My SIL was practically foaming at the mouth when the cops laughed & hung up on her. I was so glad when my brother divorced that whack job.

    Correct, but being considerate with the neighbours is never wrong. It depends on the parking space available in the street, on the own patch, size of the car etc. We once had two in our street. One had a giant black van and the other a screaming yellow camper-bus - plus their avarage cars for daily use. Both either parked their vehicle smack in front of the living room window of their neighbours* or squeezed them in a small parking area, claiming two spots and, due to the length of their cars, making it a yenga game for others to leave the area in the morning, especially in winter. *It is an old village with, for the Netherlands, typical narrow roads and not much/none front lawn. In front of the living room window there's the footpath, wide enough for two persons to pass, then the curb. Having these vans blocking your view for weeks on end is rude, especially when there is a designated area in the tiny village for parking seldom used cars, vans and holiday cars.

    If you follow the link under the post, you’ll be able to get more context. The guy who wrote the note and lives in his mom’s shed, has a dog in the shed with him that doesn’t get out much and is often left alone, causing it to bark nonstop; the neighbor’s dogs often respond to the barking but are brought inside when they start barking. This guy is blaming his neighbour got his own dog barking.

If your dog is barking and annoying other people, then you and your dog are a goddamn menace to everyone in the neighborhood. Keep your dog inside if you love your dog; if you don’t, get rid of your dog- you don’t deserve a doggo anyway.

    It's clear you have a bias against your neighbor. If their driving habits are endangering your neighborhood you should call the cops. If your dog barks frequently you should consult your vet- excessive barking can indicate things like stress or anxiety and should be addressed.

    What a gem! Really concerned about their precious phone number. Should have replied their dog barked it out in Morse code- a cry for help.

    It's a fair question to be honest. Most mobiles aren't publicly listed (like home phones used to be) so who gave it to them?

    Yeah, sure. Used only once, but really, REALLY badly by Stevie Wonder, Leona Helmsley, and the Hulk (when he wasn’t in a good mood).

    I think I have exactly the same oven gloves. In better condition, tho, even if I used them more than once. Also, is that supposed to be a gift?! If so, WTF?!

    Or, you know, keep your water at your level. Kind of ridiculous to do if you have people below you. The same goes for you, you chose to move into a duplex and share space.

    I used to live in a downstairs unit and the old battle axe upstairs did this exact thing and would soak my patio completely. Then she started to clean her litter boxes out there and we had used litter raining down and I lost my mind with her.

    Watering your plants should not result in water on your neighbor's balcony at any time. They have these amazing little things that go under the pot to contain overwatering...

    Sounds like someone needs to grill/smoke between the hours of 11a and 9a. Just might kill a few plants that they need to take precautions with. After all, it’s not your fault they have a duplex up apartment.

    Kind of with the note leaver on this one. You should be able to water plants on your balcony without dripping tons of water on the ones below you. That's common courtesy.

    Buy an awning with an obnoxious view on their side that they will see every time they look off their balcony.

    I mean, is it really possible to mistake rainwater for dog urine? I think this has happened more than once, given the tone? Having said that, I love dogs and would probably just cover my furniture & buy the dog a fake grass patch as a goodwill gesture.

    I've seen this sort of thing and it is nasty. In my neighbourhood, shops often have seating outside in the summer, just because. It's kind of nice. So this pet supply shop (ironically) is under someone's balcony (apartments above shops), and those tenants leave their large dogs on the balcony for hours. The dogs pee. The pee runs off the balcony and on to the pavement below - occasionally hitting people going in an out of the shop, or all over the chairs put out in the summer time. It's gross. It's disgusting. It's effing lazy. No word of a lie - there is a big park, with an actual dog park in it, one block away.

    That's disgusting, but by that point don't you think the owners of the pet store would get an awning to go over their door to protect customers? That or call the SPCA for neglect? Something, cause if I got hit by random dog pee I would lose my mind

    Reminds me of the time my roommate accused me of not paying the power bill. Even after I explained it's out all over the area. It was still my fault because I bought a TV for $75. I asked her if I was responsible for paying everyone's power bill?
