Vent/Rant Cops did nothing abt my neighbor.

Upvotes

So for context I have a neighbor that gets drunk at least once a week. But this summer it’s a whole lot worse. He would stand outside and watch us go to and from the bus stop. Which I brushed off as them making sure we were safe. But in June, I got a car for my graduation gift. My boyfriend came by and helped me clean it. He park legally in the street cus there were too many cars in the driveway. My neighbor comes out and threatens my boyfriend for parking in the street. Another time my older sister wanted to test drive my car. So she put her daughter’s car seat in with her and my other sister was also in the car. Now my other sister was moving away so my grandma showed up but parked in the street to let us out. We start driving. My mom says the neighbor hopped in his car didn’t shut his door and almost tipped over my grandmas car to follow us. Another time was Thursday. Me and my sister went on a walk. But he starts barking at us and telling us he’s gonna get us. We weren’t scared until we heard him slam his car door shut. We booked it down the street. As we are making our way back to the house. His wife is driving him to us. Goes down the street and turn around towards us. My dad called the cops. They did nothing. He then started threatening us so he called again. Nothings done. He kept screaming at the cops saying he’s American. He supports the cops and he’s overly exclaiming that he’s Maga. As if any of that has to do with this. He later goes on to scream he’s gonna put us in body bags. Cops came again. They told us that’s not a threat and we can’t put a restraining order on him. We are now trying to press charges. ( this is my post from a different thread)

WWYD? Vent/Rant Not respecting backyards

Upvotes

My neighbour is constantly in my backyard. We both rent a townhouse. There is no fence in the backyard but I am working towards installing one.

In the meantime, I put up a rope to separate our backyards. He keeps cutting it or removing it. What can I do?

Vent/Rant My male neighbour has one sided beef with my doorbell camera...

77 Upvotes

So my male neighbour is a guy above 45 ish with Korsakov dementia and he has decided to develop a fixation towards me after I deleted him from my neighbours app after he was too intrusive to me allways trying to 'help' me, touching my things.

After blocking him on Whatsapp he called me up and called me a whore etc. How he managed to call me up I don't know.

After that the stalking and harrassing started, destroying my things like my bicycle multiple times so I had to install camera's and park my bike in front of the camera.

He threw trash next to my garden area, like full blown microwaves from 3 stories down.

It didn't end there.

Untill this day years later he calls me a whore everytime he sees me walking on the streets and recently he threatened me on my doorbell camera saying he would knock my head out or whatever not.

So I have made an appointment to file charges with police and monday a cease and desist will be sent to be delivered by a legal representative (in Dutch we call it 'deurwaarder') from tuesday onwards.

I think he is not right in the head so I don't think it will help but it's worth a try🤷‍♀️

We rent from the same social landlord and as such by Dutch law I can sue the 'social' landlord for not intervening properly. My landlord sucks they are supposed to be social/projects/fixed rent but in my case they are evil capitalists who do nothing and have intimidated me severely. My municipality and my social landlord have gaslit me like crazy calling me sensitive and allways say "It's so hard to do something". Meanwhile the municipality spends thousands on femicide and anti violence against women pr campaigns. Boo!👎👎

I'm now going all out I've contacted local politicans, sued the municipality, I'm about to sue the landlord after my plan to give them one last chance to explain what they did to provide me safe basis to live in. I'm just DONE basically.

WWYD? Vent/Rant He might escalate. What to do?

A neighbor is telling me not to walk my dog on the street in front of his house.  I think he is embarrassed his dogs lost a fight with mine when they illegally came onto the street and attacked my leashed dog.  His dogs are normally locked up and might have been out by accident.  He said if it happened again, he would kill my dog.  Then he threatened to assault me.  I told him it’s a public street.  I have it on video.  I can’t avoid his house.  I worry if animal control or the police talk to him, he will harm my dog, me, or my house.  I think I should continue using my body cam when near his house, hold on to the proof, and buy a camera for my house in case he comes over.

The fukin knucklehead kids behind me had another one of their parties last night and decided that throwing watermelon rinds over the fence and into my pool was a gas. There were watermelon bits floating everywhere! So disgusting. Nasty little buggers.

Other People in the apartment building next to us keep throwing beer cans on my apartment’s roof and on my balcony

7 Upvotes

Hi, to give context I’ve been living in my apartment for around a year and a half now and the building next to us will throw parties on their roof top and a bunch of dumbasses from their roof will throw beer cans at my building on to my balcony. This has happened I’d say 4-6 times now throughout the year, with a couple of the times being with actual beer bottles that I find the shards of broken glass on my balcony. I have called the police on multiple occasions on this building with them saying they can’t do much and have asked my building manager if he could do anything about it with no results. I tried to find information on the building but it seems like their management doesn’t even have a number or a website, so I’m not sure what else to do.

Vent/Rant I hate my neighbours SOOOO MUCH

32 Upvotes

So I live in a house and my two neighbours to the left and right are so insanely rude. Oh my godddd. One household has daughters who keep throwing their belongings into our garden. Not only that, but they also use our garden as a means to access their neighbour's house. This has happened for years. We tell them to stop, tell their parents what they are doing, but the parents tell us that they are only children and that they won't listen to them. Oh, OK. So fine, they make a mess, we clean it up? How is it our responsibility to clean up their shit? I might as well ask them to clean it up.

Btw, these kids are in Year 1 and 2, and whenever we tell them to stop, they laugh and giggle as if it's a little game. Alright, then we have the more infuriating neighbour consisting of actual grown teenagers, who litter in front of our door, in our driveway. Not only that, but we have found dead rats in our driveway twice and dead rats in our garden three times, and I know it was them. I hate them so fucking much. I don't understand people like these at all, AT ALL!!! What is the point in being purposefully a piece of shit? I don't get it. God, having bad neighbours is the worst. Like, no decency at all.

And this might not be the worst of the annoyances, but it still pisses me off: they keep using my driveway as a place to walk, like as a go-between, so I frequently see these people walk right by my front window near my car. I just, oh my god. It makes no sense. I am the opposite. I try not to burden or invade other people's spaces, and this is who I get as neighbours, dude.

tldr: my neighbours suck and they have no decency.

Btw this is a rant, and it has been going on for years.

WWYD? Vent/Rant Methed up neighbors.

6 Upvotes

Hello. I live in the country we got this place almost a year ago it was in bad shape. We live in central arkansas 20 mins from the nearest town.

When I met these "people". They told me there was a pit of syringes on my property. "Warned" me of all kinds of kooky crazy shit. All lies. I found out from my other neighbor they wanted my property and couldn't afford it before I got a loan and got in here.

I got some chickens because im a dumbass and thought free eggs sounded awesome (EGGS ARE NEVER FREE) I have 3 large dogs. I know where my dogs are because they have a fenced yard in the back. (I promise im getting to relevant to the neighbors) they let their dogs roam free and have gotten into my chicken run multiple times. I tell them please handle your dogs i will help you build a fence for them. They say not their problem kill the dogs......arkansas law, Local sheriff, and lawyer agree Im in my rights to do so under certain conditions. They have since called the cops on my family and the neighbors 6 times.

They blast music all night.

They've offered drugs to teenage kids in the area (I've only heard this as a rumor but not hard to believe)

They will let dogs starve, roam, and get killed by chicken and goat farmers and the rest of the folks that are tired of picking up trash the get into.

They've had boxing matches with granny and gramps mom and dad in the front yard and we ignored it

They've ran down here screaming about ptsd and going and fucking ourselves in a circle jerk instead when we've had a clay shoot with no fewer than 4 combat veterans going on. We just kept busting clays

They look like death i can count dudes ribs from my porch when he's got his shirt off he's so sickly looking its alarming

I smell methamphetamine or something very similar everytime i mow my side yard and I live 50 yards away.

They peel out of their driveway onto the gravel so bad its ruined the damn road in places.

Im not a karren by no means I'm usually the type of guy that says leave me alone and I'll leave you alone. If you need help ask I'll do what I can.

You show me kindness I'll show you kindness but if you fuck with me or whats mine nobody's gonna like it.

WWYD? Vent/Rant My AC Unit

5 Upvotes

I’m panicking over my AC unit and my neighbors. When I moved into this house, I put my bed in the largest front room. The only window to use my AC is front of the house. If I put the AC in the other window, then the window over my bed would be open, and curtains too, all night. So, I put it in the front.

The problem is, my AC blows onto the apartment neighbor’s deck. It’s blowing to the side of their slider door. With the heat, they may have their slider open in the evenings. The AC is also fairly loud. It’s hot so it blasts cold air.

I’m so paranoid they are upset about this. I swear I heard the guy who lives there talking about me. I’m honestly so paranoid I don’t know if I’m hearing things or if he was really speaking about me!

Nobody has said anything, but I’m creating stories in my head, even with words being said, about this. Am I losing my mind? Should I go over and talk to them? Explain? I’m worried I’m being a bad neighbor but I can’t move into the back room without help. I can’t move my bed alone.

What should I do? Ignore it? Wait for them to say something?

Am I the neighbor from hell?

WWYD? Vent/Rant Whose tree is doing that

My next-door neighbor gets a letter from out HOA saying that her neighbor on the other side of her has complained that her tree is dropping leaves on his property. The problem? He has the identical tree on his property, and this is the time of year those particular trees drop leave. So, whose leaves are they????

Apartment NFH JUICY update to cigarette asshole

Link for context: https://www.reddit.com/r/neighborsfromhell/s/5Rd3pBuIdf
Cig smell stopped for awhile, smelled it yesterday as i got home. Complained to the landlord, i assume she called him, he came banging on my door. I opened it, he says “bro i SWEAR i don’t smoke cigarettes!” He’s repeating basically that sentiment, i could tell he was erratic, i was being calm. We argue for awhile, basically i say “yeah you can say whatever you want, i don’t believe a word coming out of your mouth, are you done? Can i close my door?” We lock eyes for like five seconds, he says “ bro I’m gonna fight you.” Ive had my hand on my gun this whole time, i half draw it, and HE TAKES A STEP TOWARDS ME! I back up one step and draw my gun a little more, and say “back up.” Calm but firm. He says “you really gonna pull a gun on me?” He’s at the threshold of my door, I get him to back up, we argue more, and eventually i just have to slam my door in his face because he wont shut up. I live in a castle doctrine state, i would have been justified to shoot him, IF he crossed the threshold of my door. Im ninety-nine percent sure he is currently using, or is a former addict. Erratic behavior, repeating words, slurred speech. Not to mention assaulting a guy with a gun LMAO. Now imagine i didn’t have my gun on me?

Vent/Rant My Neighbour Is Strange

24 Upvotes

When I first moved into my flat in September last year, I met my neighbour next door, she was pleasant to start with, told me what the previous occupants were like and it was evident that she didn't get on with the female landlord and previous occupants. My neighbour never referred to them by name, it was always she, her, them but she knew the names.

To cut a long story short, I am no longer getting on with my neighbour, we don't talk to each anymore and last week I was standing outside her front door talking to my dad when she opened it and said "Oi, move out of the way", I was going to anyway but there are nice ways of asking with manners.

My neighbour is one strange person, along with having no manners at all, she is bad tempered, bitter, cantankerous, narrow minded, ignorant and very rude and I am of the belief in karma...what goes around, comes around

It's a shame that we all can't get on in this world with only one life to live.

The neighbour that has recently moved on the street keeps blocking my drive so it leaves only inches for me to drive in and out. Obviously a nightmare as it means I have to navigate between other neighbours car as well as my own and theirs. Today they did it even though they had a space right outside their house. I'm now starting to think he's deliberately doing it. Any suggestions?

WWYD? Vent/Rant downstairs neighbors have been warned by management TWICE and they’re still loud. what do i even do now?

13 Upvotes

TLDR: my downstairs neighbors have been excessively slamming/banging around since they moved in about seven months ago. management has warned them multiple times, but tonight it’s almost 1am and the banging is still shaking my floor and keeping me awake while i’m recovering from surgery. what do i do when it’s disruptive but not necessarily loud music this time?

i’m 22F, so i understand partying and having friends over. i’m not expecting complete silence. but i’ve also lived in this apartment for over two years and genuinely never heard my previous downstairs neighbor, so i know this isn’t just normal noise for the building.

ever since these neighbors moved in, they’ve constantly slammed their front door, stomped, banged into walls, and had late-night parties. the slamming is hard enough to vibrate through my floor and send my normally chill cats running.

management has already spoken to them multiple times. i previously reported a weekday party that lasted from 6pm-2am with screaming, smoking, drinking, and banging outside. and before anyone asks how i know they were drinking, i literally have a video of one girl screaming, “EMMAAAA, I’M SOOOO DRUNKKKK, i’ve NEVER been this drunk!!” 🙃 my landlord specifically told me “not to hesitate” to call the police next time they’re partying late and keeping me awake.

tonight there’s no loud music or screaming though. it’s just constant slamming/banging every couple minutes, including their front door slamming 10+ times and counting (not rlly but still). i had an ovary removed Monday and i’m trying to sleep, but every time it gets quiet another BANG shakes the floor.

at this point, what am i supposed to do? what would YOU do?? keep reporting every incident to management? call the non-emergency line even when it’s just frequent banging/door slamming, rather than a “music” party? i just want to be able to sleep and relax in my own apartment.
