Colleagues and roommates aren't the only ones who use passive aggressive language to send a message to those that annoy them. Bored Panda has compiled a list of the most brilliant ways people told their neighbors they were being a**holes, and they will definitely give you some ideas on handling residential disputes.
I mean, you can only live next to a wannabe-drummer or a pile of garbage for so long, right? From asking the neighbors to quit dropping cigarette butts on the ground to reminding them that your yard isn't a dog toilet, the people behind these messages would probably graduate from Anger Management University with an A+ in all of their curricula. Scroll down to check them out and upvote your favorites.

Note From Angry Neighbor (Above) And Appropriate Army Vet Response (Below)
Beeps 6 years ago
This angers me so much, as it happens sooooo often. I have several disabled friends who can all tell stories about something similar happening to them. One of them uses a wheelchair, but also drives a sports car and regularly has people stop, ready to harangue him while he parks his car, only to scamper off embarrassed when he gets his chair out.

Our Elderly Neighbors Have This Sign Posted On The Bike Path In Their Backyard

I need this sign in my neighborhood. And that couple's grandson! I have a couple of people that seem to think their small dog's c**p will vanish when it hits the lawn or sidewalk. I put up a camera in the front of the house, but I think I might have to steal this idea and add "I'll send my boxer dog to poop on your porch!"

Something similar happened to my mom. The downstairs neighbor left her an outright agressive note on the door accusing her of moving furniture every morning between 6 and 7 am and threatening to call the cops. My mom is 62 years old and tiny and has no intention of moving furniture around for sport. The ones moving c**p around were the neighbors above HER apartment!

Neighbor Love, Passive-Aggressive Style
Andrés Ardila 6 years ago
I've been in both situations... where nosy kids interrupt my rest and where MY kid interrupt other's, and frankly, it's life... some times my 1YO kid wakes up too early crying his lungs out and there's nothing I can do to avoid it, just try to calm him down as soon as possible (cause I want to go back to sleep aswell). I understand my neighbors get annoyed by this but, there are two options, move out or understand that these things happen. Once, one lady neighbor even knocked my door offering her help and asking if everything was fine with my kid, that was a nice gesture from her and, I think, one of the best ways to approach this kind of situations.

They never did it again and profusely apologized. :D

My neighbors always bang the wall even small sounds occurs. I have two toddlers. Just imagine the banging. Watched a movie last Friday. She called cops. Finally fedup with her we decided to move. Meet with our landlord to give notice. Long story to short , my neighbors are moving now.
Halfey Halphstein 6 years ago
There seem to be 2 types of a-hole neighbors. The first is those who are inconsiderate of their surrounding like making excessively loud noise or letting their dogs s**t everywhere. Another one is those who unreasonably expect the next door toddlers to be as quiet as a ninja cat 24/7.

Halfey Halphstein 6 years ago
I don't understand some of those 'neighbors' who were served those 'neighborly' notes and can still say "I wish they could knock my door and talked to me directly". If you're being an inconsiderate prick how do you expect other people to come and talk to you about it? I'm not sure how it is in the US (or UK) but in my country most people would just serve those notes because talking to those inconsiderate neighbors carries a risk of being confronted and being told "MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS!".
Angela Schiller-Jones 6 years ago
Yeah, that's pretty much how it goes in the US. They're just as rude in person. Sometimes the unruly neighbors use physical violence. Notes are better, not as unpredictable.

I swear one of my neighbors was dismembering a body the other morning at 6:24. Loud sawing, the shower/tub being turned on and off, lots of banging. No screaming so either the poor person was already dead or they gagged them. No large black trash bags in the garbage. They must have moved the body.
Sivi 6 years ago
Only bad neighbors I can think of is the couple that thought it was a grand idea to have sex in the garden, which have no bushes or fence to hide them, in the freaking open among houses with children during summerbreak and only a thin blanket for cover. I saw this while hangin out some carpets. I whistle as loud as I could and ducked down. I can hear the scramble and then I hear a woman screaming. Another neighbor had walked by and seen the couples in all their glory. I was laughing so hard I couldn't breath in my parents bedroom. They moved away a week later.
