30 Times Neighbors Were So Horrific People Just Had To Shame Them (New Pics)
You can choose your friends but not your neighbors. If you’re lucky, you get to live among decent people who don’t constantly test your boundaries. You might even have the pleasure of sharing your hood with some really lovely folk. But one survey found that 75% of people dislike at least one of their neighbors. A separate poll revealed that 65% actually hide from their neighbors to avoid seeing or talking to them.
People have been sharing the most infuriating and terrible things their neighbors have done, and we have to say, some are just jaw-dropping. Others are plain gross. From leaving live pet fish out for dirt collectors, to dumping bags of cat litter in the blazing sun, it seems there’s no shortage of garbage behavior doing the rounds in various neighborhoods. Bored Panda has compiled a list of truly horrific encounters people have had with their neighbors, and we hope you never have to experience any of them. Ever.

Neighbors Gave Me Their Dog Because They Didn’t Have Time For Her But Just Got A New Puppy
This girl showed up in my yard about a month and a half ago. When I found her owners, they said, “you can keep her if you want; I don’t have time for her.” It was about 20 hours between me finding the dog and finding the owner, and they didn’t even know she was missing! They said they’d been planning to sell her since they don’t have time for her but had been too lazy to get around to it.
But let me tell you, she’s been absolutely wonderful! So well-behaved and sweet. So I told the owners I’d be happy to have her and to take any food, toys, treats, etc off their hands if they don’t need it. They brought me half a small bag of food, not even a leash or collar.
This morning, as I’m walking my wonderful girl, I pass the owner’s house and see someone walking inside carrying a 2-4 month old puppy. As I’m walking back he catches me and asks if I have any dog food I can spare. He says he’s just dog sitting that puppy and doesn’t have any food and was about to walk to the store to get some. (Of course I gave him some food.)
The old owners didn’t have time for this amazing and chill 4.5 year old (who maybe didn’t even have a single toy), but they do for a young puppy? A young puppy they didn’t even leave food for the dog sitter?
I'm glad this sweet girl has a good home, but I do worry for the poor puppy. No doubt it will be neglected once the cute puppy faze is over. Animals are a life long commitment, if you can't commit yourself to years of love and care buy a pet rock instead.
I hate people that treat pets like they are disposable. When I volunteered at a shelter, I watched as a couple dropped off their senior dog (10yo Husky/German Shepard mix) and walked out with a puppy. The poor dog looked so lost and confused. I told the manager about it and she said she didn't know that had happened (intake and adoption are in two different buildings)! She blacklisted them and called other shelters to warn them. Apparently, this happens often, so they would take in the old dog (so that they didn't just get abandoned outside) and refuse to let them adopt. I heard from a friend that still works there (manager now), that they now have 2 kids and abandoned the now 9-year-old dog at the shelter. She said she took great pride in telling them that they were not allowed to adopt from them as they were repeat offenders. (I hope their kids just drop them off at an old person home one day.)
Too selfish to face the EOL care that dog is eventually going to need.
People who treat pets as disposable are disposable. I said what I said.
These Types Of People Don’t Learn
Visited my family member in San Jose area, went out on foot to buy some cigarettes. Walked approximately a half of a mile before I was stopped by the police. Somebody called the cops because they saw “somebody suspiciously walking in the middle of the day”. For context I was clothed normally and just walked as usual.
If I wandered about my neighborhood singing show tunes, people would not call the police. They'd phone the hazmat people at the EPA.
I went to pick up take out last night & waited for someone to call the law on me--I was the only one sitting there without a phone in my hands. I almost felt out of place...ALMOST. it was sad to see everyone's zombie-like reactions as they scrolled.
Snow Has Melted Enough To Show How Cr**py My Neighbors Are
Right next to my steps by our front door at our apartment.. As a smoker myself, I find this disgusting af.. it’s called an ashtray.
My neighbour used to flick his cigarette butts over the fence into our garden. Thank goodness the jerk's wife eventually kicked him out for cheating on her.
That's disgusting. I'm a smoker and if I'm out somewhere, I will go out of my way to find a bin rather than just throw the ciggie on the ground.
I always put it out on the ground with my shoe then pick it up and if my pack is empty enough, I’ll put it in there then just throw them out with the pack or if ya not and I’m not near a trash can I’ll just put it in my pocket till I find one 🤷🏼♀️
Load More Replies...I would nicely gather that all up in a bag, then empty it on their doorstep - or hand it to them saying this is yours and I will now report you for destruction of my property because cigarettes kill plants.
I did that once. I lived in a lovely Victorian home in a university town and we had an incredibly immature couple in the basement apartment. They dumped their car ashtray on the gravel parking pad in the back so I picked it up and brought it to them and told them that oops, they dropped it. I did that with an old guy tossing the top plastic wrap from a cigarette pack, and a group of adolescent boys who tossed an empty soda can in the grounds of a hospital where I had chemo. Those are just the ones I remember at the moment.
Load More Replies...Hope if your in USA they got f*****g good health insurance 🤬that’s beyond vile !
Gross, when I had rental property, my tenants lease was very specific regarding what happens if I find any cigarette butts on the ground. They'll be a $25.00 charge PER BUTT if I have to dispose of them! There's a butt can, please use it and maintain it; please sign your initials here to show you've read and understand the rule!
I’d be lying if I said I hadn’t hidden from a neighbor at least once in my life. And it turns out I’m not alone. A survey conducted by Top Rail Fence found that two-thirds of Americans have found ways to avoid interacting with their neighbors.
Of the more than 1000 people polled, 37% of respondents said they simply pretended not to see the proverbial Jones’, while just over a third admitted to staying indoors when they see their neighbors outside.
26% of sneaky people could win an Oscar for their acting skills. They said they made like Houdini and pulled out all the stops to make it look like they weren’t home. A few others preferred to seem distracted and wore headphones or pretended to be on the phone when faced with a neighbor.
Upstairs Neighbor Has Been Dumping Their Cat Litter And Trash Out Of Their Window For What Seems To Be The Past Year Or So
I moved in only a few months ago. The other night I woke up to a noise by my window. I looked out and noticed this massive pile of cat litter. I've complained to the landlord but they haven't done anything yet.
There's this radical new invention they might have heard of which is known as a "garbage bin". Or "trash can", in America.
This is one where you escalate to city health department and your landlord can suck it too once he finds out since he did nothing about it.
I'm pretty sure that it isn't actually doing anything to the paint. I believe that is just dust remnants, from the litter being thrown out of, at least the second floor window. Either way, this has to go.
Load More Replies...That's illegal in almost every state! Cat and dog feces can get into the waterways and create hazardous levels of feces in the drinking water! Plus cat feces have the additional danger of infecting the area they dumped in with parasites and worms. Kids like to play outside!
Neighbor Put Out Active Fish Tank On Curb For Bulk Trash Pick-Up
Bulk trash is on Saturday in my neighborhood so my community usually puts out items like furniture and broken large items that the garbage man can’t take. This neighbor has put out a bike and a tank on a table the was quite murky. Walking to dog today I notice the bike was gone (others in the community will often scavenge the piles for things to take before pickup) and I walked closer to see what the tank was and noticed something moving.
There are SEVEN clown fish in what looks like a 9x11 tank swimming around. I didn’t notice this when I saw the tank on Wednesday and it has been out there for three days now. Who dumps a tank with live animals on the curb to die and be carted off for garbage? I have a tank myself but It hasn’t been used in years and I fear I wouldn’t be able to move the fish safely into my home as I don’t have a space to effective house them and would stress them out. I’m looking for someone to come and take them safely or will take them myself to a pet store so they can at least have a chance to live. Just scared I won’t get to them in time. Garbage behavior.
Ps. These are the same neighbors with two large German shepherds that have horrid temperaments and are always freaking out at other dogs and pets.
AAA AAAHHHHHH!!!!! If I was in this neighborhood I'd take them, I currently have two aquariums (a 60 and 50 gallon), a 9x11 tank has gotta be like, 2 gallons?? That's way too small. Admittedly salt water tanks are tricky but I've done brackish before. This is just horrible 😭
I got my turtles via Facebook. A guy said he and his son had to move and the new landlord wouldn’t allow pets… They were in a wee tank that was a lot more high than wide, barely had access to water, and the tank was lit with an LED. Now they’re huge but they were quite small then, like the size of your palm. They’re also a lot of effort but I’m glad I did what I did.

They have a 2-car garage and large driveway, but they keep the garage empty to sit in their lawn chairs and park 3 of their cars in front of neighbors houses (never their own house). This time, they parked in front of our driveway. I asked them to move it so my gf can leave for work at 5am tomorrow, and they said “sure we’ll move it in 10 minutes.” It’s now been over an hour and it’s still there.
They have 2 hours until I go to bed and call the non-emergency number to ticket/tow it so we can go to work tomorrow.
Each house here has space for one parking spot on the street. My next door neighbor put a basketball hoop in front of his. Can't say as I blame him
One more call saying move it now or get it towed, you have 5 minutes. Stand outside with a timer on your phone. If they don't move, call that tow.
Why even ask. They are blatantly blocking a driveway, don't devote three hours of living rent free in your head to it call for the ticket/town as soon as you see it. They knew what they were doing.
It doesn't matter if they choose to park in front of your house or anyone else's. BUT, blocking a driveway, I'd ask ONCE, if they said 10 minutes, I'd respond with. "Okay, but that's about the ETA for the tow truck!"
Everyone in my HOA has half a driveway, a garage space, and an assigned spot in the lot. I have 1 car, so I usually park in the garage. Had a neighbor parking in my assigned lot spot regularly. I probably would have been fine if she'd asked me first. I finally told her I'd be willing to rent the spot for $20/week. Funnily enough she quit parking there. :)
You asked, if they don't move it it's their own fault and they can only get mad at themselves. Then tell them every time they park in front of your house they will have 15 mins to move it before you call to have it towed if it's blocking your driveway.
According to Top Rail Fence, younger generations are nearly twice as likely to avoid their neighbors than people over 60. And the older generations are more likely to be friends with and trust the person living across the street.
64% of people polled said they'd be willing to ask their neighbors for a small favor. However, only 17% trust their neighbors enough to leave them with a house key. Those over 60 were twice as likely to leave a set of keys with a neighbor than those between the ages of 18 and 29.
Neighbors Leaving Lit Candles Unattended Outside Apartment Doors
Not even sure how to approach this situation. It feels very unsafe to leave candles lit on a carpet floor.
Candles or deyas for divali? Neither makes it okay but it looks like deyas for divali.
Yup, looks very much like diya instead of candle
Load More Replies..."Not even sure how to approach this situation." Are people actually this clueless how to function in a society? It's an apartment; call the friggin' landlord!
The Way My Apartment Neighbor Parked Next To Me (My Car Is On The Left)
Yes, these are assigned parking spots. I can still get my car in and out but it is incredibly frustrating. I plan to leave a polite note for my neighbors if this keeps happening but I don’t understand why people can’t just park normally, it takes 30 seconds to pull forwards and backwards again. This is the 3rd time in the past couple of weeks that they’ve parked way too close to me.
Based on how close OP's car is to the left fence, I'm guessing drivers in this country sit on the right side of the car.
Load More Replies...My neighbor sometimes would park in the empty spot next to mine instead of in their spot, which is one spot over (we have assigned parking). It wouldn't be a big deal except they couldn't park straight, and left me very little room to park and get out. The 3rd time it happened, I left an ugly note on their car, basically telling them they parked like an aṣshole and they needed to stay in their own space. They haven't parked next to me since, but they still park like an asṣhole.
This was done on purpose! They would have had to exit the car via the passenger side door!
Our New Neighbor Just Moved In And Placed This Huge Container Outside Her Apartment Blocking Half Our Bedroom Window
This just happened today so we haven’t yet addressed it with them/the apartment complex but it’s mildly infuriating to have to deal with this and/or potential confrontation with the new neighbor.
If you need a storage unit, rent a storage unit. Also those are super easy to break into.
This is a weird configuration anyway. This apartment slider opens into a shared patio with next door? Why on earth would someone move into a place so badly designed?
I'm pretty sure that what we can see in this picture, are just windows and not a sliding door.
Load More Replies...A separate Lending Tree survey revealed that nearly three-quarters of Americans polled dislike at least one of their neighbors. The three main gripes were that the person gives off a weird vibe, is too loud, or is simply plain rude.
23% of respondents said they’d gone as far as calling the cops on their neighbors. While 1 in 10 just couldn't take it anymore, and had packed up their belongings and moved because of a neighbor.
Someone Parked Their Car In Front Of My Garage
Live in a townhouse with an alleyway of garages in the back. What's worse is that there was open street parking. And the neighbor that they were visiting had their driveway full of trash because it was trash day. Which is how I found this, because I was taking out my trash.
Absolutely! This is almost as illegal as blocking a fire exit.
Load More Replies...It's weird how sometimes rocks just fall out of the sky and break windshields.
Neighbor Treats Our Shared Porch Like A Dump
This isn’t a stand alone incident. I’ve been neighbors for years with them. There’s always trash out there ALWAYS. Be it trash bags full of kitten litter or random things that’s being hoarded. Something about the Florida heat beating this lump of trash today has put me over the edge. I’ve never tried to tell the office about this issue but I have today. I put in a ticket about this issue and my fiancé and I are calling them tomorrow morning.
That is bad enough to call the city/ county to get it removed. They'll be having a fine.
Yeah, if you're renting, call the landlord! If you're an owner call the code enforcement and the health department. Leaving garbage outside for an excessive amount of time leads to rodent and cockroach infestations!
My Neighbor Is Telling Everyone I’m Lying About My Pregnancy
And report the doorman for giving out tenants' personal information.
I'd call that a form of stalking! Report him to the police! Your other neighbours will back you up!
This is an incel in the wild. Go no contact and get a protection order yesterday.
The asylum has lost yet another f*****g lunatic seriously wtf is wrong with them letting em all run riot ! N yup im being deadly serious here he’s one as needs locking up in a padded chill with a straight jacket for good measure ! Call police show them everything and honestly as a woman myself please be very scared ! This is one nasty pos !
Across the pond, Brits also seem to be less than friendly with their neighbors. A Good Move survey found that less than 17% of those polled choose to engage and socialize with the people they live closest to on a regular basis.
Around three-quarters said they enjoy polite conversation if, and only if, they happen to bump into them. Less than one in ten Brits don’t speak to or communicate with their neighbors at all, going as far as looking the other way should they pass them in the street.
Older Neighbor Cut Down The Trees Between Our Properties With Warning Only An Hour Before
This has ruined the privacy of my backyard, and I am very sad. They also say they can’t afford to put up a fence and don’t mind the lack of privacy.
They could afford to cut the trees down. You could call the City Arborist or a Tree preservation group, ask for tree saplings, and plant them on your side of the property line, maybe about 5' back.
Could be a host of reasons. The most common one is a requirement by the city if they're directly on the property line. I've lived in a handful of cities where it's actually a code violation to have trees, fences, etc which straddle a property line.
Load More Replies...In uk cutting down trees like that is ILLEGAL ,you have to get permission vile people as live next door to you put a fence up sap oh nd plant some more trees your side ! We need trees to live ligit we do !
My Neighbor Parks Like This And When I Ask Him Not To He Tells Me To Do Something About It
Oh no, I fell down the step while holding this anvil and landed on your car...
I was carrying a bucket of used cooking oil down the steps and tripped.

You`d slip.. i would recommend you taking your anvil down - and accidentally dropping it.. I mean, them things be heavy..
Load More Replies..."I'm so sorry; my hammer just HAPPENED to hit your headlight. Also, I'm sorry about the TOW CHARGES. wanna DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT?"
You can do something: call the city, have it towed. That's blocking an egress, even partial.
better yet, spread a sticky residue all over the car and spread bird seed ALL OVER the car. Would only take one day.
Load More Replies...I'd contact ADA or other enforcement agency. Fire department, he's limiting access in and out of a residential property!
Hello, Fire Dept non emergency? My neighbor keeps blocking my exit with his car. I'm afraid if there's A fire I'll be trapped. Yes, I've spoken to him and basically he said "too bad, make me". Could you please make him?
My Neighbor Keeps Adding Rocks To Our Driveway
So, yeah. We have never had issues with our neighbors, until the crazy lady moved in next door. And yes, she's a nutter. We caught her throwing rocks from her backyard at our garage. We contacted the property management office and then the rocks started appearing at our driveway. And no, our driveways are definitely not even near each other. She screams at my kids (one is eleven, one just turned five) to "stay off her lawn". I mean, she's THAT neighbor.
The worst part? When I contacted the office to let them know, because technically these are on our side of the property, instead of acting like an adult and just moving them, she keyed my car and threw some kind of liquid all over the drivers door. And yes, we know it was her, in don't go anywhere and I certainly don't go around upsetting people enough to actually key my car. If we could afford to move, we would. The office refuses to do anything about it and I'm worried if I move her rocks that she will do something even more outrageous.
That's the problem nowadays. I am way more hesitant to confront people directly for fear of stuff like keying my car.
Call the cops. Every time. You need to prove a pattern of behaviour, and it's the best legal option. Cameras and remote door bells are your friend.
The Brits cite extreme loudness as their number one pet peeve and reason for having a fallout with a neighbor. Poor parking, having a “questionable lifestyle”, engaging in illegal activity, and having lots of parties also rub the British up the wrong way.
A quarter of Brits polled said they couldn’t handle a neighbor making unapproved changes to shared space or boundaries. While around a third hate poor home and garden maintenance. 33% wanted their neighbors to STFU and stop complaining about nothing.
Ceiling Is Leaking For The Second Time In Four Months Because Of Upstairs Neighbors
Four months ago, the upstairs neighbors clogged their kitchen sink and left it for a day and a half until it started coming through my boyfriend's condo (which he unfortunately owns) ceiling, ruining it and his hardwood floors.
It took over three months for him to finally get the insurance claim and check situated (he has to pay deductible, neighbors can't be held accountable due to some clause in the HOA I think).
Today, the neighbors were doing construction and apparently cut through a water pipe causing the hole to start leaking again.
Thankfully we haven't gotten it fixed yet due to the delay. We just picked out new floors last weekend and planned to schedule repairs ASAP.
Now I'm worried this will happen again after we get everything fixed. And the neighbors still won't be held accountable.
If there is a clause in the HOA that prevents holding them accountable, I suggest leaving. That is a terrible HOA. I have a friend that has only ever lived in condos and she has always had good experiences because she has a lawyer go over the HOA by laws before she buys
What could possibly be considered a "good" HOA? They are little fascist regimes put in place to make everyone's lives as miserable as possible, other than the little general who gets to strut around surveying their domain. HOA's should be outlawed!
Load More Replies...That clause sounds very much like it was made up by someone who was on the HOA, is a landlord and doesn't want to pay for damages when his tenants screw up! If the individual above you also owns their condo, I'd ask for their insurance information and file a claim. Screw the HOA!
I rented a house once and the pipes that led away from the house to the street sewer line were accidentally offset. TP and gods know what else would accumulate there and every 4 months I would get nasty sewer water coming up from my downstairs toilet. All the landlord would do would be to send someone to clean the mess, not fix the problem, and I was out two separate emergency plumber bills. I was so glad when I left that place.
That's why you pay those stupid HOA fees every month. My cousin owns 2nd floor beach condo and the owner upstairs had a leak that damaged her unit. It was covered under the HOA because it was inside the wall. The buildings are from the late 80's and they have replumbed all of the buildings since then.
Neighbour's Pick-Up Truck Hit Our Wall
So, the truck stays at a ramp on one side of the road, and our house is on the other size. He put his kid in the van and entered, but ye forgot something so he left, and when he left the truck didn't have the handbrake on so it went down and hit our wall, with his 6yr still inside, it'll be around 1000€ to fix.
This. Right here. Child endangerment and negligence.
Load More Replies...His car insurance has to pay for your property damage and make sure the police report shows what really happened to make sure the kid is safe.
Neighbor Parks Her Car In Front Of Our House Daily. Texted Her Sunday About Some Landscaping We Were Having Done This Month
The landscapers had to ask her to move the car this morning and I got this.
At a loss as far as what to do. I feel like I have plenty of notice and I’ve tried being a good neighbor but they’re generally rude any time I’ve tried asking for them to move the car.
In many places, anyone can park in front of anyone's house since the street is public property.
Load More Replies...Spread a handful of birdseed around her car every day for a few weeks.
Call the cops, that way they get a ticket and your police department pays for the tow and not you.
They Parked Here? Like Really?
Neighbors were throwing a party and all valid street parking was completely full, so they block another driveway in.
Call the cops, that is both a ticket and a tow. They are restricting lawful access to your property.
TOW TRUCK !! on the grounds nails etc in tyres means they can’t actually move the car don’t. Are your life harder !
"Hi, this car is blocking my driveway and you have exactly 20 minutes to find out who it belongs to and have it moved before it gets moved by a tow" - and don't bluff.
Neighbor Went Psycho And Decided To Knee My Car At 2am
Tf is their knee made of, iron? Unless there's a different meaning I've never heard...my knees are crying just lookin at this
D***s maybe? I've seen someone totally off his gourd with coke and he ripped a side mirror off of a moving car. Broke every bone in his hand doing it, didn't feel a thing until he sobered up. It was my car and he left a gouge down the entire side of the car 😭
Load More Replies...I know i might get downed for this, but I've had it happened, so I'll be honest. Get drunk. Punch their car window out. Drink more, then wrap your hand up. When they complain, invite them to say something. 4 out of 5 times, they'll think you're worse than they are and back off. Yes, it's just illegal, petty revenge, but sometimes? Feels nice.
wtf was he on psp ffs you do not do that with a knee !!! n how exactly you know it was a knee 🤷♀️
Id escalate this and sugar their gas tank, gotta be sneaky and wait for a good opportunity, but it's super easy to do, just pre dissolve about a cup or so of sugar in some gasoline pour that into a 20oz bottle and quickly dump that into their tank, look up their make and model to see if it has a locking gas cap if not get it done.
That's Awful
Make loud remarks about seeing his w***y. Have a good laugh at it, and yes, tell his wife.
Write a letter to the wife about her husband's LITTLE problem. Keyword "LITTLE"
Film and post it for everyone to see. Make sure to share with the neighborhood.
Well it does here in uk lol mind you gotta ask do peanuts count 😂
Load More Replies...Call the police and report the neighbor for flashing. When he explains he was just peeing on your house, they will document that and then take him to small claims court for damage through biohazards.
I would ask him what the hell did he think he was doing and definitely tell his wife.
Recently Took Over My Grandparents' Home With My Boyfriend (We Both Wfh) And Apparently Also Inherited A Karen Neighbor
And if everybody works, how do they know that not everyone does? Also a response could have been: "I do only fans, so there might be new cars over, would you mind lending your parking spaces? 10 cars at the time is hard to fit in, if you know what I mean?"

My Neighbor Asked If They Could Pick Some Of My Blueberries, I Said Sure, Lets Get Together
And they proceeded to come over without letting me know and pick almost every berry off the bush, even green ones.
So that was the first time I met my neighbor, I was checking the mail and they were walking by and asked if I had been picking blueberries the day before. I said yes, they said they loved blueberries, so I politely said oh we should get together and pick some one day.
So the next week, today, I go put to pick some blueberries and see almost every berry, and a lot of leaves, are gone. The first pics are the bushes now, and the ones after the bag of blueberries are the pics I took last week after picking that sack of berries, so that was after picking half a gallon.
"I've found my blueberry bushes don't produce enough to share so please don't pick any more. Sorry and thanks."
Call the cops and swear out a complaint, that's theft. There is no way all those berries went by rogue that fast without help.
Here in uk lol them are bloody expensive unless you grow em lol so look in your local shops at the price of say 100grams n charge em accordingly thieving c***s !

I'm not sure what exactly is wrong with this sign? It's their property, they can post signs anywhere they wish! Including "I LOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP" or I Love Kamala.... if it offends you, don't look at it! It doesn't appear to be a BIG sign, looks about the size of a"Security cameras in use" sign. Which is like 8" wide and 10-18" long
I dont see anything wrong with that. It's just a sign and it seems to have offended most of you, based on your comments. Haha. Relax!

Neighbor, Who Eats In His Car, Always Throws His Trash Out The Window
Our neighbor, who hates his wife, spends all day in his truck. He literally comes home from work, takes a shower, then spends the rest of his waking life inside his truck, exhaust fumin' and music blarin'. Whenever he is inside the house, they're always screaming at each other to the point that I'm convinced one day someone in the house will become a family annihilator.
He also always eats fast food and twizzlers, and throws all the trash right outside the window. The breeze always blows it inside my yard or the grass right outside. We've complained to him and he gets very defensive and starts screaming again.
nonono, just throw it back in the car!!
Load More Replies...If that's the neighbor's pick up, I'd stash his trash in there. And if there's a cover? "Awww, too bad it got damaged!"
My Neighbours Won't Clear The Dirty Water In The Pool. And Now I Can See Mosquitoes Sitting On The Water, Reproducing. Tried Telling Them, But They Find It Too Gross To Clean
Easiest answer is to call the Marshal and report it. Note: County Marshals handle code enforcement like this.
Don't know what country has the county marshal, but there are officials with different titles who take care of this in different places.
Load More Replies...Step 1. Pour bleach into it. Ask them to get rid of it again. Step 2. Wait for response. If there is none... Step 3. Stab a hole in it. Wait for response... Step 4. No response? Gasoline. Introduce a cigarette/ match to it.
Go to your local hardware store and pick up these things called "Mosquito Dunks" and throw one in. It kills the larve! Any standing water outside can be safely treated with this! I live in Alaska, where our mosquitoes are bigger, meaner and prolific! I use to smoke, was camping and the mosquitoes were so thick whenever I tried taking a drag I'd have 3-6 mosquitoes in my mouth before I could plug my mouth with cigarette! Now I wear netting on my head when I'm camping and depending on the type of winter we had in my yard as well!
Our Neighbors Installed New Deck Lights
They look as bad as those new "homicide headlights" that cause retinal damage to oncoming drivers. This intensity of light should be banned for domestic purposes, unless pointing straight down.
Wow... those are bright! Do you know if they had a specific reason for installing them? I ask because it looks like their backyard is up against a waterway and without knowing where you live, could it be for gator spotting? Or some other type of deterrent?
Call your electric provider to have them out to measure the output. If the homeowner is violating any restrictions/ordinances they will be forced to make any adjustments.
Neighbours' Kids Are Jealous Of Our Inflatables For My 4yo Sister. Only Logical Thing To Do Is To Puncture It
For the past few weeks the neighbours have been talking stuff about our inflatables. We live in semi detached houses and the walls are very thin. We heard the conversation through the wall.
To cut a long story short, the mom asked her husband to do something about it. He refused.
This was a few weeks ago and yesterday we got a new inflatable. Then today one of them is punctured
We also heard the kid ask his mate to steal a rubber duck that was left in the inflatable pool
They also have a history of deflating them.

My Neighbour Has Installed A Security Light With The Power Of A Thousand Suns, Which Blasts Right Into My Bedroom
The pic doesn't do it justice, this thing is ridiculous! I have a blackout roller blind that was fine when I worked nights and was sleeping during the day, but it can't handle this incandescent monstrosity. Obviously if he was normal I could go talk to him about it... But you guessed it, he's a handful. Older man with PTSD of some kind, he's never bothered me so far but has done some crazy stuff on other neighbours and I don't want to start anything... Nevertheless this is positioned to point directly at my house and stays on all night and most of the day.
Neighbors Block Our Only Way To The Back Yard For The Second Day
Put the porta-potty in their front yard with a sign! "FREE TO USE!"
Yes, It Is Illegal
Opening the mail mistakenly is not illegal. Throwing it away is (tampering with mail).
Report the crime, along with the evidence. Her admissions of what she did.
In the US: A federal statute known as 18 USC Section 1702makes it illegal to open correspondence addressed to someone else. However, the law cannot be applied if you did not recognize that the mail was not yours when you opened it. OP's neighbor is definitely in the wrong.
Neighbors Just Set Their Palm Tree On Fire With Fireworks
This is why it's illegal to own fireworks in my county. Though people still buy them like 1 foot out of city limits. Police for this.
Happens at least three times every year in Florida. Honest mistake really, people don't realize just how flammable those things are, and when a rocket goes awry, welp, better fall the FD. They're gonna love this.
This kind of nonsense is why it's no longer legal to buy or sell fireworks here.
Received This Well-Worded Letter In My Mailbox This Morning (Wrong Neighbor - I Don't Even Have A Dog)
The best response is to tack a sign on the side of your mailbox reading "Attention, to the person who can't spell. 1.) I don't have a dog. 2.) your spelling is horrible. 3.) Placing anything in a mailbox that isn't mail is a federal crime. I have notified the police. Have a nice day. 4.) Your message constitutes a terroristic threat. Police will be speaking with you shortly. Then watch to see which neighbor panics.
Better - call the police and the feds without giving warning.

My Rental Person Won’t Help Me. Upstairs Neighbors AC Is Leaking Into My Bedroom
NY- My GF’s Upstairs Neighbor Lets Her Dog Pee On The Balcony On Pee Pads And It’s Leaking Down Damaging Her Furniture
She lives in a complex and has reported this to the property manager. They reached out to the upstairs neighbor and told her it’s against policy for the dog to be going to the bathroom on the balcony. It continues to happen and when she reported it again management stated “You need to resolve it between each other, contact her at #” in regards to the patio furniture being cleaned.
My gf offered to get a quote from a cleaning service and send her the bill.
The upstairs neighbor said she will not pay for it unless she takes a look for herself. My gf doesn’t feel comfortable having a stranger(who she has an active dispute with) come through her apt to look at the damage.
You be there with her, or maybe management could send someone to be there when she looks at the furniture. You should have a witness and document, document, document.
I'd use tape/zip ties to fasten a large plastic sheet to the underside of her balcony

Bad Neighbors Block Our Mailbox And Driveway Almost 7 Days Per Week
The reason why this is only mildly infuriating is because they do move their vehicles, but only after I tell them to. It's a duplex and they moved in after us a few years back. There are so many of them that now live in their unit that they take up the entire block with their 8+ vehicles.
This day in particular, we had to leave for an emergency. The moron that parked like this not only blocked the mailbox, blocked our car in (had to drive diagonally off a curb to barely get around), but they also left! Went to the door like usual, told them they needed to move and we needed to leave immediately. Got told that the driver parked there and left with the keys, should be back soon, but nobody can move the truck right now.
On top of this being a regular occurrence, they're also highly selfish. They were taking over the area with all of their vehicles and we had 2. Couldn't even park our 2nd car on the street. They would park on the strip (where the silver Benz is in the picture) but in a way that nobody can fit behind them and if you park in front you'd be blocking the mailbox. So one day, I put up some scarecrow decorations that served as guides on where to park, the last one saying "No Parking" with an arrow pointed towards the mailboxes. They were measured out to provide 2 parking spaces big enough to comfortably fit a frickin' F350...the tenant's teens didn't like that so they destroyed the decorations, tossed them into the street, then parked in the center again...
Just lovely people.
If it's in the US, yes, but getting law enforcement depends on how busy the cops are.

Family Just Moved In. Got This Letter. Left Couch Out For Trash. Kids Play In Front Yard
The note says:
"Dear new neighbor, We have all lived in this neighborhood for most of us over 20 years. We all have meetings and talk to each other. We are happy you're here but you already look like you don’t care what your yard looks like. Swingsets belong in the backyard and PLEASE remove that eyesore of a couch OFF the curb. Our neighborhood does not need to look like a trailer park. We're not sure where you moved from but we are certain there were dumpsters on the way that you could have dumped the couch. It looks trashy already! Please be considerate of us who keep our yards trash-free. Remove the couch! This is not a junkyard."
Tell me you live in an HOA, without telling me you live in an HOA.

Crazy Neighbor Gets Mad At Friend For Dropping A Single Strand Of Hair And Tapes Up The Hair As Evidence
My friend moved into a new apartment recently. He shares the laundry room with 3 other units. He is unit #1. While doing laundry the other day, one of my friend’s hair fell off from his head.
Obviously, he didn’t know cause he didn’t check the entire room for hairfall — I mean, who the hell checks if any of their hairs fell off their head wherever they go??
Now apparently, the landlord got mad at the sight of a single hair strand and put up a new sign in the laundry room (the bottom sign is new & the upper sign had been there for a while) taping his hair as evidence that he didn’t thoroughly clean the facility. My friend doesn’t have any severe hair fall issue. The hair normally fell off his head normally just like hair falls off most people’s heads occasionally.
Also for the record, my friend cleans the washing machine & dryer surfaces after he uses them. Just seems like he missed this one hair strand. Who is the jerk here? Idk this seems super crazy to ask someone to keep track of every hair strand that falls of one’s head and pick them up. At first I thought the hair must have just landed on the tap by mistake when the landlord put it up the sign. But other units have informed me that this landlord taped up someone else’s hair 6 months ago to a sign asking the unit to clean it up. IMO, this is next-level crazy and it’s unreasonable to expect that level of cleanliness.
I'd move as fast as possible - landlord sounds like they've got some unresolved issues.

Blocking The Road With Their Giant Trucks
This has been going on since I moved here. There’s an HOA for my neighborhood but really it’s a complete scam because all they care about is fining you for a few wildflowers in your front lawn (aka the water guzzling lawn that is also dead because nothing grows on red clay) and they say they can’t do anything about people parking in the road. There has been several times trash collection hasn’t been able to happen for the week because trash trucks could not get through. Neighbors who live down at the culdesac honk when they pass through the trucks (or attempt to) which I can hear all the time. My neighbors are all 19/20 year old rich white fraternity guys who could not care less about anyone else. My neighbor parks his massive truck in front of my property too, where it is obscuring the view of my house. Should I call the police? The HOA said that since they can’t do anything about it, the police is the only people who can remove an obstructive car.

Neighbours Keep Putting Their Trash In Our Bin
Neighbours don’t take their bin to the side of the road for collection ever so when they’ve filled their bin they decide to throw their trash into ours and cause it to overflow.

See if you can put a padlock on the lid - it'll slow down your disposal time, but it'll definitely stop theirs.

In the US it is a federal crime to open up mail that is not yours, if its an accident, you can get away with a warning. The US Postal Service has an armed police division to deal with mail issues. In the US wrong mail, you are supposed to put it back into a mail box, where the postal service re-sorts and corrects for giving out. Or you can give it yourself.
Load More Replies...Unless you can prove they knew it was your mail and opened it intentionally, you don't have a case.
I've done that. Grabbed the mail from my box and had a medical bill open before I realized it wasn't me. Taped it all back up and stuck an apology note on the front & hand delivered.
If you know the neighbor who did this, take the mail to the post office and report this directly to the post master. They WILL investigate.
Or they will say "Can you prove it was intentional?" I don't bother to read the name on mail delivered to me. I fully assume it was vetted properly by the PO.

After My Neighbors Got Cited By The City For Blocking The Sidewalk With Their Cars, They Decided To Move Them To The Street… Right In Front Of A Fire Hydrant
Don't worry. Fire fighters will just break the driver and passenger windows and run the hose through the car.
It's only a violation to park in front of a hydrant if the curb is painted red, or if the hydrant is directly adjacent to the road or city street. If however, the hydrant is located more than six feet (this one looks to be a good eight feet) back from the curb, you're legally allowed to park there as that distance won't impede the flow of water through the fire hoses.
The laws in your community are not necessarily the laws everywhere.

I Have To Look At This From My Neighbours For The Next 6 Weeks
Not me, but my friends. There was a neighbor that was the terror of their block. Took an irrational dislike to everyone, but especially to one young couple. He'd shine lights into their windows, shout obscenities at them, etc. He started firing a BB gun at the back of their house. One pellet went through the window and lodged in the wall of their unborn baby's nursery. Cops carted the guy off and that was that.
It would be useful if we taught kids what kind of problems go where in local government, most of these are things that they are set up to deal with.
For the most part I've always had a good relationship with my neighbors. It helped when we installed outside security cameras as we were living in Townhome with 3 other attached townhome. Lets just say, a video is a fantastic way to keep everything and everyone on their best behavior!
Once I was biking up and down my block, and when I tried to turn around at the end I accidentally went out into the street, and quickly turned back in. But apparently not fast enough, because some crappy old dude who was speeding in his black pickup(I think) didn't like that. So he slammed his horn and thought yelling at an 8 year old who had the right of way and just wanted to go biking was the best solution. I was in tears afterwards, but thankfully my mom was there to comfort me.
