Despite the knowledge that someone knows exactly where you live, there are people who seem to think that horrible, annoying or just deeply petty behavior is acceptable. Even stranger, in the 21st century, it has never been easier to document insufferable behavior, including legally permissible evidence like videos and pictures.

So despite these considerable risks to being a menace, these neighbors still chose to be a menace to those who lived near and around them, fortunately, in the age of the internet, we can all “enjoy” the examples people have shared.

Also the fence has to be built on "your" property, so moving from her to neighbour... increased the available garden space somewhat.

    Despite the many variations of “be a good neighbor” that range from Jesus Christ to Mr. Rogers, people with antisocial tendencies don’t really see any issues with just being annoying to everyone around them. As a species, this trait should have been evolutionarily weeded out, as social creatures can’t really stand an outright hostile neighbor. Unfortunately, it still exists, propagated by bad families and disagreeable environments. 

    This is a vicious cycle, as antisocial behavior creates the environments that help it propagate, leaving everyone else worse off. While in some cases, antisocial behavior is partially genetic, more often than not, it is learned, through poor socialization, abuse and just existing in a particularly bad environment. It’s no wonder that in English, a neighborhood doesn’t just refer to an area, but the people in it.

    All is not lost though, as there are potential treatments for antisocial behavior. The first is preventive, as there are certain, surmountable risk factors, ranging from positive role models to even having good nutrition. Of course, the real issue is that most of the people on this list are already adults, so preventative measures are basically way too late. So instead, a possible solution is Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).

    It’s important to preface the fact that no one can just make another adult do CBT, no matter how annoying of a neighbor they are. In certain cases, it could be mandated by a judge, but that would require an actual crime to be committed. For better or worse, being very annoying isn’t a crime in most places. But, hypothetically, a person might decide to improve themselves, maybe after a specific incident or after an intervention from loved ones.

    In these cases, a person would attend a number of sessions with a therapist to try and work through how they see themselves and how they can more positively relate to the world around them. Unfortunately, CBT is geared more towards children, as in many adults, antisocial behavior is cemented. Still, should an adult choose to attempt to better themselves, it could heighten the possibility of the treatment “sticking,” but this still requires that the person actually thinks they need help and strives for it.

    i live in a gated community with an HOA...and many neighbours think it is perfectly okay to block off the entire street to move, just like this and expects us to go all the way around the complex just to get to our house instead of going our normal way which is far shorter....

    Because they're completely blocking the road for an extended time? They could at least have backed the truck onto the footpath and left one lane clear.

    he coulda' backed up further and left one lane open. that's what i woulda' done. that's just me though. the ramp would be inside the house further but that's a pretty good backing job. he could probably do it.

    This may make it sound impossible to help someone who exhibits antisocial behavior, but in reality, it does happen. It’s also important to differentiate between antisocial behavior and antisocial personality disorder. The latter is more serious and harder to treat. It’s also less common, so in most cases, an annoying neighbor is not likely to become even more of a menace over time. Cold comfort, for those suffering from this issue, but better than nothing.

    I had tomato and pepper and cucumber plants sitting on my driveway once. I hadn't gotten all of them into containers yet. I come home the next day after dropping the kids at school to find some lady I don't know loading them into her car. When I asked what she was doing she said they were just sitting there. Said I wasn't using them, she needed them more. Ran to her car & left. I followed her while calling the cops. She denied taking them, but I had marked them for different areas. Took 3 days to get most of them back (& not in good condition). A month or so later I catch her stealing tomatoes off the plants! So yeah, some people think that they are entitled to your things.

    We had a neighbour that had a barking dog outside at all hours. I went to ask them to sort it out and got no answer, so I posted a note asking them to come over and discuss the problem. Turned out he was working long hours 6 days a week and was a heavy sleeper. We and the neighbourhood helped him out with dog walks and making sure his dog was taken in (he gave his next door neighbour a spare key). After a couple of months, his work sorted out the problems and his shifts were made better. He is a nice bloke and he was very apologetic. He moved out last month to be closer to his new job
