If you don’t have a neighbor horror story, you might consider yourself a lucky one, as quite a few of us have likely encountered an aggravating one or two. Some stomp around as if they roam from room to room doing cartwheels, others sing louder than they should—the volume often seems to be positively linked with lack of musical training,—a few start picking fights over matters that don’t even matter; the list goes on and on.
If one of these situations already evoked a sigh or flashbacks—we’re sorry; if not, scroll down to find one that likely will. Today, we have listed some of the most patience-testing, anger-inducing, plain-annoying neighbors out there, as shared by the ‘Mildly Infuriating’ subreddit. Covering everything from shoveling snow—or poop—into others’ territories to shooting firearms inside apartments, and so much more, these sure are some colorful examples of just how unhinged some neighbors can be.

One doesn’t necessarily have to be friends with those living around them; but a good rule of thumb would be not to make their life any worse either. Yet some people don’t abide by such rules, this way likely encouraging their neighbors to consider moving away.
In Britain, for instance, as much as 60% of people seemingly don’t get along with their neighbors, according to a Daily Mail survey; nearly 30% of them say they would never socialize with the people living nearby.
When it comes to the US, the situation might seem worse, as nearly three-in-four (73%, to be exact) of them dislike a neighbor, LendingTree reports. However, on the upside, roughly as many of them like at least one person in the neighborhood.

The pictures on the list are just some examples showing what makes certain neighbors difficult to bear, but the reasons are nearly limitless. Some of the most common ones, though—for Americans, at least—include neighbors giving off a “weird vibe”, as well as being loud, rude, or nosy; their pets causing trouble is also in the top five.
Another reason some people are far from fond of those living nearby is the latter not upkeeping the exterior of their property; apparently, this annoys as much as 16% of Americans.

My Neighbor, Everyone. He Parks Like This When His Wife Isn't Home And Moves It Back When She's Back So They Can Both Park On One Of The Few Spots With Shade. This Has Been Happening For Months

Well, the rest of the neighbours should park around and behind him, so that he can't move his car. And keep his car "locked" for a whole day. It's not illegal, you don't need to even touch his car, and he'll learn a valuable lesson. If he doesn't learn, next time it's two days.

Do a lot of birds nest in those trees? Maybe give them a little extra food (spread some bird-seed around/on top of their car when they’re not watching) & watch their cars get heavily crapped on. You could also leave out some blackberries & watch their car get a new shade of purple, LOL. 🤣

I think it can be towed. Contact the authority who owns the car park and let them know. Alternatively, wait until they both are out and return the favour by parking 2 cars there and discuss it with the neighbours about putting their cars there when you have to go out

i see enough space in the parking spot on the left to squeeze in backwards, also diagonally..... the other thing is find out what time this generally happens at, and then park the same way.

SincerelyMeesh 1 year ago
Get a motorcycle or scooter and park it in what's left of the spot on the left. Get pics of your bike and their car in the spot. if they hit it while moving their car, If they hit your bike, take the photos to management, or better just take legal action and make their insurance pay.

Since he's under the trees, spread a bunch of bird seeds all over. Get a big bag and just keep feeding the birds. Both of their cars will be covered in so much bird s**t, they'll never park there again. Bonus: you haven't done anything illegal like flattening the tires or breaking out the windows or any of the other childish things people have suggested.

Jerk. Sometimes I have to park like this in parking lots if no accessible spaces are available, in order to deploy my wheelchair ramp, but I would NEVER do something as crude as this.

That car can't weigh that much. Get a couple friends and move it to one spot. He'll be like what has happened. Then when he goes back inside light it on fire.

Another thought. Get several large, strong people and physically fit people and move the car. To a bright, sunny spot.

I’d populate that tree with birds that 💩 a lot, and hang a well-stocked birdfeeder from one of the branches. I’d prolly also augment the 💩 with stuff I’d scraped off somewhere with a lot of it, though I wouldn’t mix any cyanoacrylate with it because that’d be too much.

We Were Going To Have A New Robin Family - Until Our Neighbor Poisoned His Lawn And The Parent Robins Ate From It And Died
Zedrapazia 1 year ago
I guess it's too late now, but if a nest is abandoned, take the eggs to a bird saving organization ASAP. We did the same when the red tail nesting in our backyard got killed by a magpie and her eggs were abandoned.
LendingTree revealed that the antipathy Americans feel towards their neighbors is not only based on what the latter do—or don’t do, for that matter—but also on competitiveness. It pointed out that as much as 17% of them feel financially pressured to keep up with those living around them; among those with a homeowners association, the number rises to 36%.
Despite the competition, a similar number of people—37%, to be exact—would rather have neighbors with the same views regarding a certain important matter: you guessed it right, political beliefs.

My Neighbor Chucks Her Dog's Poop Over The Back Fence
The reasons for Britons hating their neighbor seem to be similar to those living in the States; from troublesome pets to unattended gardens, they seem to hate it with a passion equally as strong. However, the things that annoy them more than anything else are not the same as those of their American counterparts, as people in Britain seem to be aggravated by annoying driving habits the most. According to the Daily Mail, there’s nothing worse for them than someone blocking their driveway or parking in their space.
Another thing Britons detest—number seven among the 20 reasons they hate their neighbor—is the latter hosting too many late-night parties. Ironically, reason number 19 is neighbors getting annoyed when the Britons themselves have a party.

Someone Anonymously Sent This To My Neighbor
Despite the numerous ways they can get on our nerves, neighbors can reportedly have a positive effect on our well-being (well, at least the less annoying ones can). A Rutgers study revealed that low levels of contact with people living nearby are linked to lower levels of satisfaction and psychological well-being in middle and later life.
Spanning over 10 years, the research found out that even though neighbors might not prevent an individual from facing certain hardships, they are an important part of one’s social landscape, whether it’s providing assistance that they do or ensuring daily communication.

My Neighbor Thinks They Own The Public Street In Front Of Their Apartment
For some, the importance of having friendly neighbors became evident during the pandemic. Due to the lockdown, restrictions, and health-related matters, some people had to rely on the kindness of others, some of whom often lived right next door.
A study on individuals supporting their neighbors during the early stage of the COVID-19 lockdown revealed that they used different means of communication to reach out to those living nearby who needed some sort of help, making even greater effort to contact vulnerable groups.
Their ways of supporting others included everything from delivering food and medical prescriptions, to providing information, advice or even sharing of experiences. Quite a few of such individuals reportedly felt more involved in the neighborhood life after the pandemic and showed interest in committing to it even more in the future.

While some people hate their neighbors—a few might love them—there are also individuals who don’t know their neighbors to begin with. Pew Research Center revealed that 57% of Americans say they know some of them and roughly one-in-four believe they know most of them. It also pointed out that it’s the older generations that seem to have a larger circle of acquaintances living nearby.

Pew Research Center also found that even in the age of digital technology, neighbors tend to communicate more face-to-face (20%) rather than using the phone or email (7%).
Another interesting thing the survey revealed was that despite not knowing a lot of them, people tend to trust the neighbors they do know; roughly 66% of Americans—who know at least some of their neighbors—would feel comfortable trusting them with a spare set of their keys in case there’s an emergency.

Why do sooo many people these days try to make their problems yours? If widows are “offended” by the sight of tombstones, the answer is NOT to tell people to get rid of ‘em, but THERAPY. It’s not MY problem something “triggers” you. You need professional help, and I can’t provide it.

Why are so many people such doormats when it comes to illegally parked cars? I politely asked a neighbors friend to not park in my assigned spot. Next time I TOLD her to not park there again. 3rd time I had her towed & somehow I was the jerk. It was over $250 to get her car back. Oh f*cking well. Learned a lesson yet?
