thank god you were able to move out, this sounds terrifying!That is so scary! They must have been monitoring him for something if he had police checking up on him
Oh definitely there was something not right with him. He was clearly under supervision of the police for something.That is so scary! They must have been monitoring him for something if he had police checking up on him
Love this!My mum used to live next door to someone who eventually would appear on Big Brother (she lived there about ten years before it happened). This lady was really glam, pretty, had a beautiful little home and used to get regular evening callers - including Robbie Williams and Brian Harvey! We were prob the annoying neighbours because whenever a car pulled up I’d be peeping round the curtain to see who it was
Did her name begin with S by any chance?Love this!
I briefly rented a ground floor flat for no longer than a year, where I shared the entrance with one of the original GoogleBox participants (I moved out about 2 months before she appeared on it).
She was a bit of an eccentric and actually quite hilarious, she was quite well known for frequenting the pubs (and my front door) shaking an old ice cream tub filled with awful, tarnished, old, worn costume jewellery trying to sell pieces of it. She was a bigger woman and would often collect her mail and answer her door covering her modesty with just a tiny tea towel. When I was moving out she was eagle eyeing all my possessions stacked up in the entrance holding open an empty tote, trying to sell me the prospect of moving into my new home without any clutter then asking if I'm getting rid of any of it.
YESDid her name begin with S by any chance?
I was wondering that!Did her name begin with S by any chance?
Ahahaha I've got one of those. Came home from. Holiday and he's painted my wrought iron gate. Happy he did it as it was on the long list of things to spruce upI don't have any bad neighbour stories but in my old house, one of the neighbours used to wash the gravel on her drive. Not with a hose pipe. She would wash it like she was washing the dishes - very odd and would take her hours. Whatever floats your boat.
I currently have a wheelie bin inspector; I have know him my entire life and he is lovely but come bin day he turns into a squadron leader; he checks everyone's multiple bins and shouts at you if you have put anything in wrong. He collects anything he doesn't think appropriate and takes it to the tip. He wears a high viz jacket and directs the bin men (am sure they love it....ha).
God love him, he is annoying but he is retired and I suppose he is bored; on the plus side we have the cleanest, immaculate street.
He also paints everyone's window sills annually; even if you do not want him to and he decides the colour!
That is my ideal too.Don’t get me started. Mine has grown ivy all over my fence. I want to replace my fences but literally no point while the ivy is running wild. Drives me crazy. Any suggestions on how I can get rid of this ivy? He has lived in the house since it was built & thinks he owns the road! I would in an ideal world like no neighbours
My best friend stays in a street like that in Houston. They have very active neighbourhood groups. You’ll get warnings for any wrong trees, garden ornaments, grass over a certain length etc. You can even lose your own house if you don’t comply with the rules. Open season for busybody neighbours.Bad neighbours can absolutely impact on your mental well-being. If only our houses were not so close to each other in Britain. I love those streets you see in America with the huge driveways, wide roads and a bit of distance from the ones next door.

A good arrangement if you get along well.My next door neighbour is my ex....so...there’s that
Which one is the oldest, her or him? Or same sex?Omg where to start. It’s a long story. I’ll summarise in a few points. downstairs neighbours have a 40 year age difference between them. Never met them in person but turns out that they pretend to be adult babies. When I did my research. They’re so odd. Their cigarette smoke comes into our flat through bathroom and kitchen and stinks. They’ve stank out the communal corridor with their stale smoke ... imagine what it’s like inside the flat!!! Also get the pleasure of listening to them having sex at all hours. Extremely loud ridiculous noises. I dread to think.
You must report them. Nobody should be forced to listen to that amount of noise on a daily basis.My neighbours above me have 3 kids (I think). They seem to think it’s ok to let the kids constantly jump off the beds and onto the wooden floors, ride their bikes/scooters back and forth the apartment from 7am-8pm, and generally run riot 13 hours a day.
I’m at the end of my tether and close to tears most days. They’ve now started bouncing balls in whatever room is above my bedroom.
I have a neighbour whose outside light shines into my bedroom when the light is activated. I politely went round there to ask if he would adjust the light and got a barrage of abuse.My neighbour across the road has put up a motion sensor spot light right above their front door which shines right into my bedroomwho does that when there's a fucking lamppost right outside their gate!
The people 3 or 4 houses down have the brightest outdoor lights, it lights my garden up! Feel sorry for the people next door and the houses in front and behind.I have a neighbour whose outside light shines into my bedroom when the light is activated. I politely went round there to ask if he would adjust the light and got a barrage of abuse.
What an odd thing to ask and a total imposition.A few years ago our neighbour knocked on the door and asked if her friend from Russia could stay in our house for a few weeks while she was doing some sort of course... we had only spoken to them at this point a few times. My partner pointed out that she could stay with them as they had spare rooms. Very bizarre!!
Who has the time to wash gravel like that? Totally bonkers!I don't have any bad neighbour stories but in my old house, one of the neighbours used to wash the gravel on her drive.

I would not be very happy with someone painting my windowsills though.
