Just been interrupted with a difference of opinion with next door, who seem to think it’s ok to have friends and family round for a barbecue, using our drive to access the back garden. We had a fence go over but shouldn’t have to point out how wrong it is, was asked to be more polite about it. They do naff all all week and use power tools on a Sunday so as I have loads of old petrol to use up have left my mower running, also it constantly revs up and down on its own.

Its already got some oil in from when I had a petrol strimmer. Got enough fuel for a month of Sunday’s , just trying to stay legal in the amount stored. Think the fluctuating revs alone is going to drive them up the wall. 3rd lot we have had that side, the last ones seemed ok but turned funny, mainly because someone with a red vehicle damaged his sports car, I pointed out that my red van had no damage. Then there were parcels going missing, I had £130 of bike parts not arrive and another neighbour brought them round months later. It’s taken these ones a year to put a number on the house, most of the others are names, parcel service here is horrendous by the couriers but I fell out with the postman as he would repeatedly knock to ask to take in others parcels when I knew they were in.

Last place we were at we didn’t really have any but that didn’t stop piss takers. Had some neighbours way to the rear with some private land in between. one day I’m on the toilet and people kept going past the window , goes out there and they said so and so said we could come through here !!! Once lived next a personality who thought he could box a bit, ok he was a world champ, was just standing at my door looking in the window, so asked him what he wanted. Said he was on his way to post a letter, said no you’re not you’re hovering, effing people.

The other side are tossers anyway, think they have some odd hour glass type thing that when it’s time is up they mow. Always power washing the patio, they have a lot of trees and shrubs and they hose them off, think it’s to remove starling crap. They choose to mow some council grass opposite and expect me to do the same. One Sunday they had fencing people in at 05.30 talking really loudly, would you like a cup of tea? Have had scaffolders etc coming our side without asking and if I say anything they have a hissy fit. Came home once to find they had taken out a fence panel and had a digger in the garden that could only be accessed our side, didn’t like it when I blocked them in . It’s rental and we rent out our place in town, our landlord can’t stand either of them so good luck complaining about it. It’s a win win for me anyway as I want a better garage.

I try to be a good neighbour, in the hope its reciprocal, garage is down the bottom of the garden, so keep noise down, so far so good.
There are never any winners in disputes with those that live close to you.

I try to be a good neighbour, in the hope its reciprocal, garage is down the bottom of the garden, so keep noise down, so far so good. There are never any winners in disputes with those that live close to you. We are the model of quietness, if we go out early on the bike I even push it down the road. If I needed to rev one up, I stick it in the van, drive somewhere quiet and run it there, it it’s not road legal then leave it inside with the back doors open. If a neighbour is making noise with power tools I will mow then and never at the weekend. Late at night if returning home, gently close the minimum of doors. Never lighting fires or intruding over any boundaries, if a visitor parks over someone’s drive I ask them to move it. We have a long drive so never park in the road. These and more are the lengths we go to it’s only common decency and respect. The other neighbours see themselves as the neighbourhood police but are selective in this including themselves, including the way they deal with parcel deliveries. I pre lockdown would do click and collect. And god forbid if a parcel of mine went to a neighbour and I had a card through the door I would collect it ASAP but not if I thought it was an inconvenient time, some others even with a card won’t collect their parcels. A lot of the couriers are useless and forever screw up with me picking up the pieces. It would be easier to go back to work but then would wonder what pee taking was going on in my absence, like taking out fence panels and driving a digger across the lawn. |

Neighbours what are they? They are something that poor people have to put up with...  If you lived here, they are incredible actors who have managed to fool the DWP for 3 decades.. even though they can climb ladders and carry fire doors single hand whilst turning up to hospital for health check ups in a wheel chair and traveling there in a free motobility car with an offspring carer who doesn't live in the same house or even visits the house anymore.....but still gets paid.... Oh... and the other neighbours are tax dodgers, pretending to live in a property when they only visit it once a fortnight...so to avoid any tax whence they sell the property after 2 years. |

My neighbour on one side is a pub, so I normally keep in regular touch with them and try to see them as much as possible. I am missing them at the moment and have no intention of falling out with them.
On the other side is a church and grave yard, and I'm trying to delay spending time there for as long as possible!

We just missed buying a chapel on the side of a graveyard, have slept in an overgrown graveyard more than once as a 13yr old as I felt safer there while on walkabout, via a long railway tunnel. |

Lived in a rental in Swindon a good few years ago with a mate with a wide shared driveway servicing 5 houses and running past our house. One night after a few months his car gets paint stripper thrown on it out of the blue. hmm... a month or so later a bloke from next door comes and moans im blocking the driveway while washing my car, I give his short shrift and tell him I'll move it when finished but he can easily get out, we were face to face and he was pretty angry but i can act mean when i feel the need and he goes away. Few months pass and a mate come to live with us for a bit due to girlfriend issues and his car gets paint stripper on it one night as well. This time the cops are called. We get 4 cop cars and a they take fingerprints and ive never seen so many pics taken - must have been a slow night we think. Not long after we move out as we found a bigger place down the road for the same rent. A few days later we are called into the cop shop. Interesting. Turns out new people move in and as they get out of van the guy from next door comes out and tells em the nose of the van sticks out onto the driveway and he cant get out and they must move it. He's very very angry. They try to appease him as its only a nose on a wide driveway and he walks away. That evening they park their car in driveway and the dad decides to wash the car. Next door bloke comes out and starts having a go, wife watches him as he goes back home and comes back with a baseball bat. Proceeds to smash every light/window/panel of car and then starts on husband. Cops eventually arrive and cart him off. Then when searching the garage find a crate of nitromors and aparently the whole interview he is babbling about 'bloody neighbours'. A few months later we helped send him down. w**ker.

Ours isn’t a ‘shared’ drive , beginning and end is electricity poles, it’s 2 distinct levels and an 18” border with flowers and shrubs. Only pee takers would fail to be deterred by it. They had also taken to parking across our side, even though there is never a shortage of spaces, in fact to park there a manoeuvre has to be made from in front of our garden and the same back out so I know it’s either deliberate or thoughtless. It’s always possible to knock them up but shouldn’t have to. Wife is a mobile nurse so could have to go out any time, day or night. It backfired on them this morning as we have had to take to parking across our own drive, a builders merchants lorry had to drop their quarter ton of timber in a layby down the road. Karma.

Best not to let people walk all over you. When they moved in I did hint that I could be sympathetic to any building work, and previous owners also have had designs on making alterations that didn’t come to fruition. My landlord gets a bee in his bonnet about such things, he used to live in our block and his father lived where I am. He also still owns several of the properties, there were more and he holds strong covenants on them all. Hope they dont waste too much money on building materials. |

We live next door to a rental, have had a few interesting characters in there, its a small 3 bedroom house, we live in a cul de sac
The current lot take the cake, Dad and Mum rent the property, then son and older kid move in too, then daughter with two kids, one's a bub, move in, as well as her ex and a dog, the front garden is well kept so when the real estate people do a drive through there is nothing to detect, garage door is hardly ever open
In goes a camper trailer, up goes an awning, that's where the daughter and her ex and her two kids live, it's just about winter now, shall we say she is very proficient in the use of F & C words, no matter if she is talking (more like yelling) to the kids or brother, parents or ex, the expletives get used very willingly by all
It starts in the morning and is still going at 8 o'clock at night, I decided to start up the missus Duc, which has a straight through exhaust on it and my Rd with the baffles out at 8:30pm, just to make sure they were running ok after I heard the zippers close on the camper, I'm a mean bugger when I want to be
Fills their bin with rubbish over the brim, then proceeds to dump the rest of their rubbish in 4 other neighbours bins, leaves a bag of nappies beside my other neighbours bin, puts their bin on our property, they have 4 cars, crows empty the top of the bin all over our front lawn
The missus goes and knocks on the door to be met by the daughter in mirrored sunglasses, who couldn't be nicer to her, gets them to clean up their waste
Park their cars on our lawn and other neighbours lawn, their visitors do the same, they don't do that any more after I and my neighbour one over had words with them
Changes oil in car on the street, ex comes in on a gixxer 1000, then can't get it started, I offered my jump pack, accepted, got bike going and rode off leaving MY jump back in their driveway, not even a thank you, no effort to return it hmmm
That's the last time I help them out, they are totally ignored now

Bins overflowing, wrong bins used, god knows what in bags which we’re not supposed to use. A dilapidated caravan on the road for years and I bet they only moved it under duress. They put rat bait in open trays next to the bins for anything other than a rat to ingest including young humans. They put some garden waste into a sheep/cattle field opposite and poisoned a number of sheep. They tried wriggling out of that but the shepherds aren’t people to be messed with, they still didn’t pay the total amount and had their Chelsea tractor vandalised, but they just got a new one. Another wind up, and I have a feeling this happens all over with serious implications, their residents buy cars, take them abroad and bring them back on Romanian plates so as avoid mots, tax, etc etc. And they in some cases have been like that for years. |
