In the past, idyllic suburban neighborhoods were characterized by close relationships. Residents would rely on their neighbors for support, friendly chats, and even block gatherings. However, nowadays, neighborly friendliness is on the decline and a once strong sense of community is slowly being replaced by anonymity and frustration.

This is evident in many stories of neighborly antics that people share to vent their frustrations online. From using a shared hallway as storage to wrecking a car into a fellow resident’s home, scroll down to find the most unbelievable things these neighbors from the pits of H-E-double-hockey-sticks have pulled.

While you're at it, don't forget to check out a conversation with global community building expert, author, and founder and CEO of Kalliergo Community Building, Lori Gosselin, who kindly agreed to tell us why we're distancing ourselves from surrounding dwellers.

I Present To You, Lazy Neighbors. These Neighbors Are Only A Few Steps Away From The Trash Chute And Refuse To Dispose Of Their Trash Properly. They Just Leave Their Trash In The Hallway

I Present To You, Lazy Neighbors. These Neighbors Are Only A Few Steps Away From The Trash Chute And Refuse To Dispose Of Their Trash Properly. They Just Leave Their Trash In The Hallway

This has been going on for months and has only gotten worse these past few weeks. The lovely cleaning ladies have begged me to help them find out who is taking advantage of them, and last night I took the liberty of putting on gloves, going through the trash, and finding mail addressed to them. I found out who the neighbor was and placed all the trash back on their porch. Call me a jerk, but multiple neighbors have placed notes asking them not to leave trash bags outside in the hallway.

Good work with the gloves. I'd dump the trash at their door, rubbing some of the mess on their door, leave the bag open, and make them have to either walk through it, or pick it up. Then give the cleaning crew extra money for the extra work. Repeat as necessary.

A myriad of data supports the fact that nearby residents aren’t as connected as they used to be. A 2024 Top Rail Fence survey shows that 65% of residents admit to hiding from their neighbors

Younger generations are even more guilty of doing this.

The most common ways people try to avoid surrounding dwellers are by pretending not to see them, staying inside when someone is outside, acting like they’re not home, wearing headphones or faking being on a call.

A Non-Serious Discharge Of Debt

A Non-Serious Discharge Of Debt

Can't explain how angry I am. Someone destroyed the grave of my cat. My cat Franz passed away after a neighbor kicked him in the stomach. He couldn’t recover from this.

Yesterday I found the grave of my dead cat destroyed in the backyard. I reached out to the Facebook group for my village. Today the mother of the 5-year-old kid who destroyed the grave called me. His son is guilty and wants to apologize. He said it was a mistake and wanted to give me money for the damage. The mother interrupted him and told him the truth. He and his 2 friends destroyed the grave and threw the wood into the small river. This was no mistake. I am really sad and angry someone destroyed the grave without any remorse. But it's a 5-year-old, I can't call the police for this. I just wish he told me the truth. I made this cross fully with my hands, handpainted it and wrote his name in old German letters. He doesn't deserve this.

Downstairs Neighbor Came To My Door At Midnight After Throwing Rocks At My Window And Calling Me Names

Downstairs Neighbor Came To My Door At Midnight After Throwing Rocks At My Window And Calling Me Names

Yesterday night, at about 11, I heard what sounded like pebbles hitting my bedroom window, then a male voice screaming names. About 15 minutes later, I heard a knock on my door. I checked the Ring camera to find a guy I didn’t recognize standing there. He said he was my downstairs neighbor and told me to stop stomping so loud, it’s been six months of nonstop noise, and he’s “sick of it”. I moved in three months ago, not six, and I’ve never had a noise complaint in any of my previous apartments. Plus, my job means I’m gone for 12-14 hours a day. I don’t know what he’s hearing, but I don’t think it’s me. Even if it is, throwing pebbles and then coming to my door at midnight is a weird way to handle it. This whole situation is freaking me out.

According to Gosselin, one of the culprits of declining friendliness among neighbors might be the growing demands of our lives, like work and childcare, that leave little time for leisure.

She suggests that the disappearance of front porches might be another. "People used to occupy the front porch in the evening, greeting neighbors out for evening strolls or walking their dogs. But now we disappear onto the back deck, seeking solitude, choosing introversion over extroversion."

Estrangement from neighbors can also result in safety and security infringements. "When you know your neighbors, there is a sense of safety and security," explains Gosselin.

"In my childhood neighborhood, parents parented all the kids on our streets. We knew everyone, and many years later, though most of us have moved away, we see one another at funerals as our parents passed on," she fondly recalls.

I Asked The Neighbor If He Could Have His Daughter Leave Room On The Sidewalk For My Mom’s Wheelchair And My Kids. This Was His Response

So my neighbors' college-aged daughter always parks over the sidewalk causing all the neighborhood kids and walkers to go into the street to get around her SUV (it’s a pretty busy street as it feeds into the rest of the neighborhood). I’ve asked her once and her response was let me ask my parents, but nothing happened. Fast forward about 9 months. My mom who uses a wheelchair (due to advanced MS) is coming to visit so I asked the neighbor if he could possibly have his daughter park in a way that didn’t cover the sidewalk, while she was here visiting. This pic shows his response. Also, as you can see there is plenty of parking not only in the street but in their own driveway!

"This would require what would amount to a herculean effort, but most of us do not have time or energy for this.

 The Front Door Of My Apartment Has Been Egged With Hard-Boiled Eggs 3 Times This Month. No Idea Who Is Doing It Or Why

I spend most of my time at my girlfriend's house, so most days I am only at my house for a few hours at most. The eggs always get thrown when I am home and during the day but I've never seen it happen so I'm not even sure who is doing it. The 1st time it happened I thought my neighbor just dropped them, but there have been marks from the yolks on my door the last 2 times.

I try my best to be quiet when I'm home because my downstairs neighbor has a young child. I've only lived here 2 months and I've never even spoken to any of my neighbors so I don't understand why this is happening.

My only consolation is that they are considerate enough to only use hard-boiled eggs.

I'd be pushing a pram/stroller down the sidewalk and banging it into the car. Take pictures of where the car is beforehand, and show it to whoever the neighbor complains to about dents. Car might even be ticketed for blocking sidewalk. Towed would be great, because not only is it blocking the sidewalk, it is going out into the street also.

How Do You Stop Trucks From Driving Over This Corner?

How Do You Stop Trucks From Driving Over This Corner?

New construction in the neighborhood. My house is on a cul de sac and trucks cut the corner and drive on my lawn all the time. I have debated getting boulders but they’re really expensive in my area. Also considering some 6x6 posts. One of the issues is the main water line runs along the road (blue line in the picture) and I have a utility easement 10’ from the road. Looking for ideas of what I could potentially do. I was thinking maybe I could argue to the county that the builder is risking potentially damaging the main line from the weight of the trucks driving on it?

When I was young. (late teens, early twenties), my partner and I moved into a property that had clearly been used by loads of people because there were 10(ish) mattresses. With youthful wisdom we decided the easist way to get rid of them was to leave them outside of a charity shop that was few doors down. Feeling a guilty I heard a woman complain that someone had left three mattresses outside the shop. Three? Who had nicked the other seven??

Scoop it up and return it, but more widespread. Then put a sign next to it: "Free meal for all rats in the neighbourhood. Feel free to bring you friends!"

Oof. I mean, mistakes happen. As long as they inform you and pay for damages, it's just life.

This happened to my car once when our house was being painted. The company didn't tell us to park somewhere else and there was some wind that day, so the paint sprayed over the whole car, which was dark blue. The company apologized and paid for the removal.

Neighbor Smashed And Totaled My Newly Bought Car And Broke My Side Fence While Texting

Neighbor Smashed And Totaled My Newly Bought Car And Broke My Side Fence While Texting

Neighbor hit the gas while texting instead of the brake and totaled my parked 2012 VW CC with her 2019 Chevy Silverado Z71 while also causing property damage to my fence. And she thought it was funny and laughed at the whole situation. This was the first car I bought through a dealership and legitimately instead of buying from a friend and under the table. Now it’s gone. But better the whip on a truck instead of me in an ambulance.

Built A Den In An Old Building Last Summer And Yesterday The Neighbors' Kids Came And Trashed The Place

Built A Den In An Old Building Last Summer And Yesterday The Neighbors' Kids Came And Trashed The Place

This place had three feet of mud on the floor when I found it and it took weeks to clear out and make pretty. They left beer cans and broken bottles everywhere. I had an old window that they smashed to pieces. They destroyed my hosta too.

Neighbor Passed Out While Driving Down Culdesac

Paramedics said he passed out. Had to have been going 45-50 mph. Had no insurance.

He would’ve slammed right into one of the front bedrooms if my car hadn’t been there.

I'm a former smoker and s**t like this always drove me insane. Smoking is already a nasty habit, but littering is far more repulsive in my opinion.

This Is Our Bedroom Now, In Our Newly Adapted Apartment

In expectation of a storm and heavy rain tonight. Damn the roof of this building and our upstairs neighbor (a crazy woman whom we cannot convince to let us fix the issue coming from her place). Just needed to vent because our newly adapted apartment is being destroyed after we just recently finished adapting it fully.

I only see trees on your property. Imho you should have taken care of those leaves way earlier but clearly you didn't. The landscaper did you a favour by piling the leaves up so you can remove them easily.

Yes, that's not nice. But it's pretty normal for there to be dust when you're renovating. Depending on what they're doing, there may literally be nothing they can do to prevent this.
