I have 2 neighbors, both widows and retired and they are never home! I want to know the secret of retirement from both of them. (It might be golf, since they both go golfing)!
I have a neighbor who plays his 'music' so loud and sings along that my bathroom jumps with the beats. He can't sing! i would like to tell him to sing a so low and that he is in a field of his own....that is where he should be if he is going to sing at all!
Another neighbor can't stand it if my grass grows any, but they put their underwear on the bushes in their back yard, which I can see from my upstairs windows. I don't know why they do this, but I would like to say, "You are offended by grass growth and threaten me, (they call the landlord and the city), but you have the nerve to share your undies with the whole aerial world? How crude, how rude!"
"no, i will never , ever sleep with you, we can be friends only!! We can share a meal, catch a movie, help eachother in the yard, but it will NEVER be more than that because that is one sure way to make for 'bad neighbors' if things didnt work out!!" thank you!!
My argument is not with my neighbors per se, but the small town I live in as a whole. It seems, after one moves here, you are an outsider forever and ever. I was never fond of "cliques" in general, but this entire town belongs to one it seems.
I would love to tell my neighbor to stop driving up our private lane at breakneck speeds. He believes it is okay and safe it if does it when no one else appears to be around. I have young grandchildren and pets and he poses a great danger to them.
No real problems with any of our neighbors. Just one has a dog that runs out in the road and chases me up the road.... not the brightest animal on the planet.
I would like to tell my neighbor (who I like), if she could stop having criminals stay at her house. We have too much police activity around here already:)
I have wonderful neighbors but maybe my neighbor Joe the Plumer ( I love saying that and it's true ) anyway maybe he could lend me his groundskeeper. He has a live on the property groundskeeper who shovels snow and such. It's not as posh as it sound though he has a mother-in-law house behind his and he rents it at a really low price to this nice kid (30s) who takes care of everyhthing for him. I'm jealous
I live in an apartment complex, so I have 2 sets. One next to me and one above me.
To the people next to me: nothing, they've been great since they learned 2 key things. I speak spanish fluently and work as a translator for the police dept. when they need me. Second, my boyfriend and the majority of our friends are cops. I actually haven't heard a peep out of them in several months.
To the people above me: I understand we have an odd work/sleep schedule, but this does not excuse you from building whatever it is you are hammering on at all hours of the morning. The fact that english/spanish/french/any other language that i'm not fluent in is your first language does not excuse you from me going off on you/calling the cops.
I would love to tell one of my neighbors that they way that she says "Heeellllloooooo" really grates on my nerves. She draws it out to like ten words in a whiny voice and it bugs.
What would I like to tell my neighbors? Perhaps I should say, "It is an honor to live next door to you." Then I can add a four-letter F word and say, "You are FINE neighbors."
I would just like to tell the neighbors on the right of me that I do not like that one tree/bush right up next to your house. Every time I pull into my driveway, it just looks like a giant ugly piece of broccoli.
To the neighbors on the left. Thank you God that you got rid of that big pile of heaping crap that you called a truck. I'm glad that you loved that thing, but when you started that thing up it sounded like it was coming into our living room.
I don't have any problem neighbors, really. There is one woman up the street who has let her house fall into serious disrepair. I think she can't park in her garage anymore because she hoards so much stuff that it's full to the brim. I feel bad for her, thinking she might have some problems. But she doesn't interact with anybody, so I've never actually spoken to her.
I would like to ask them to keep their child quiet and not to stand out on the balconies drinking all night. We all can hear everything you do and say to the very last detail because you're so loud.
And, please do not run down the stairs, it makes my windows rattle. And, one other thing I would like to ask them is to not let their visitors park in the main parking lot, there's not even enough spaces for residents back there much less their friends.
I'd love to tell my next door neighbor that the chalk her kids write on the street with is called sidewalk chalk for a reason. It's to be used on the sidewalk and NOT the street. Little kids don't need to play in a 25 mph street.
I don't have neighbors next door or across the street right now. The last neighbors I have, the worst I would have asked them was to please close their windows and door when there was a football game on, because they could wake my son even with his window closed! They got REALLY loud when watching football, but were quiet the rest of the time, even when they had parties.
I guess if I could say something to one neighbor I would choose one down the straight, and I would tell her that it wouldn't kill her to NOT give my son a dirty look every time he calls hi to her when we walk past her house during the summer and spring. He's only 2, it wouldn't hurt her to say hi back or smile.
I would like to tell them to move closer my nearest neighbor is about a couple of miles away , and they are lovely people, great idea for a post Susan, take care. Darcey D.
I really like all my neighbors. One plows our driveway and won't accept payment. Another always answers the phone with a smile in her voice and another one is quiet, but lets us know she cares. I can't think of one complaint or even one that I would want to move elsewhere.
I hear so many of the things you all say! I have one excellent neighbor, 2 (which border my property) that are insane and the rest don't bother me (much)!
I have wonderful neighbors:Georgia, Carmen, Jon, Stosh and Kathy, Phil and Joann, Robin and Betsy, Luke and Anna, Jorge and Heidi, Don and Linda, Pat and Jack, Fred, Chris, Don and Wendy, Sally, Nancy, Dan and Kim, John and Holly, Joe and Hope, Frank and Alexandria, Josh and Marie, Ursulla, Jennifer and Kyle..... and the list goes on! We're good neighbors and good friends. But we DO have one lemon on the block.
Mr.'s first name is Gabe, none of us knows Mrs. first name. They rarely come out of the door. SHE comes out to collect the newspaper in fill the bird feeder. A HUGE BIRDFEEDER THAT ATTRACTS ONLY PIGEONS. AND THEY HAVE NO OVERHEAD WIRES ON THEIR SIDE OF THE STREET SO THE F&*@ing PIGEONS CRAP ALL OVER OUR CARS AND SIDEWALKS!!
Have we asked them to stop? Are you kidding? At the risk of being shot?
At the moment, I am lucky, the people in all three apartments that conect to mine---next door, above and below---are generally quiet people. So I have no complaints in that regard. Thanks for the opportunity to rant, Susan. At my old apartment complex I would have wanted to swear at every single tenant there!
I'd like to tell her to knock off her vacuuming at 7:30 on a Sunday morning? She has one of those large, strong vacuums that you can hear all the way into the hall. It's so loud that if I have my television on I have to turn the volume up. And she throws her furniture around when she vacuums. I hate living below her. Yuk!
One neighbor to stop threating our poor cat, he has not done any wrong to you, if you call the pound you will have to deal with tree very anger women who are cat lovers. PLus, we are not fond of you standing at you bushes acting like you are trimming them to watch us cut the lawn or trim te bushes. You ex wife did not mind us trimming the bushes on our side. We even loved it before you moved back in and made you ex wife leave. She had pretty cristmas lights and kept the yard pretty. You peek out your window at us every cooton picken time we are outside and what in te heck were you on your roof telling me I needed to cut down two trees next to our house? Plus when in the world are you making at 6am and start again when you come home from work until 12am? Plus that spotlight that shines onto our house is brighter than the Sun.
Other mighbors could you not put up real curtains instead of a bedsheet and hanging you clothes infront of it makeing it look like a human infront of the window and put up some in te window in the bathroom.
To the man behind us are you a pervert? Stop standing at the fence looking at our house and in you window we know have to close the curtians to dress or walk in front of the window. We enjoying our curtains pulled back for a reason.
To elaborate, I live on a one way street, and the neighbors have three vehicles, all of which they park out on the street, in front of their home, so, I may not have a parking space in front of my house when I come home. And, it's always when I have groceries too! That annoys the living crap out of me.
In the same vein, my neighbor parks his truck on the curb. So, when I back up, it's hard to tell how close I am to his bumper. Not to mention that parking on the curb is illegal to begin with, but, it's dangerous.
We are fortunate to have wonderful neighbors, FINALLY. The lunatic that used to live behind us, shot my mothers cat, would sit on the bank of his property and just spy on her, or just call the police and say she was doing something she wasn't doing. Twice she wasn't even at home when he did it. We put up a fence on our property so he couldn't see us anymore, and the jerk tried to pay the farmer down the road to come over with his tractor and knock it down.
I've pretty much been lucky with neighbors throughout my life, except for the woman who harrassed my blind dog. She took us to court but I had pictures of where she had sprayed water into my house through the open door I left for my dog to go inside so she would not bark. the neighbor on the other side went to court to say that we were good neighbors and when the judge saw the pictures and heard my neighbor testify that when she had an accident this woman would not let her in to use the phone, the judge admonished this woman to get a life and leave her neighbors, dogs and all, alone.
Now I live in a sixty unit senior community and it is very quiet here. A few of us talk to ourselves... but mostly the silence rises from each apartment where we each live alone with our thoughts and our writings (in my case, at least) I find the thought of so many people being alone day and night very sad. But I'm not unhappy. Solitude creates creativity. I could go to the community hall and gamble 6 nights a week but it's just not my thing.
I would love to tell my neighbor she's a freakin' nutcase!!! lol Might make some of y'all feel better to hear about it... ugh! We just moved in here last month. She met my husband first, and was talking to him, basically trying to hang all over him... she's probably sixty plus... he's thirty-one! lol As soon as I walked out, she quickly took off, and has never said another word to him. Soooo, we had been here a week or two, when one night, husband was gone to the store or something. It was 10pm on a Friday night. My nine year old was on the couch watching tv, when someone started pounding on the door. He ran to my room to tell me. This b**ch had pounded so hard, the door flew open! She, immediatly, started cussing at me, saying my son was knocking on the walls???!!! She said it happens every night at the same time... well, my son is in bed at eight on school nights... crazy b**ch!!! Ok, so I was VERY polite. New neighbor, not wanting to make a bad impression. I tried to explain that I had heard nothing, but apologized sincerely if she believed she heard anything coming from my apartment. She just kept cussing, and swore it had to be my nine year old, because she saw him running when she started pounding!!! She has a crazy fu**ing dog, that she lets run around outside, that will bark like crazy and chase us when we come up the stairs... I never said anything to her about that!!! Ok, so like a week ago, we go out to go to the store or something. On the sidewalk, when you come up the stairs, her apartment is to the left, and ours is on the right. On the left side, there is a line, drawn in chalk, that says, "Do not cross"!!!!!! OMG... my husband and I saw it and just busted out laughing!!!! I mean, like I said, this crazy woman has got to be in her sixties... how fu**ing mature is that???!!! It is STILL there!!! I can't help but shake my head and laugh out loud every time I see it! I mean, I am really, honestly, a very nice person... try to be polite to everyone, get along with everyone... but this lady makes me WANT to do something mean, just to p**s her off!!!! WTF?????!!!! Why do I always meet all the nuts???!!! lol
Helping out with helping hands, by the way!!!! ROFL
We are at the cabin right now and therer isn't anyone else on our road, they all left for the season. So, I can basically go all week and not see anyone.
We have great neighbors other than the dreaded one with a dog he refuses to contain. I've announced my feelings already about what I'll do if that mutt craps in my flower bucket again...

Stop coming over to "borrow" milk, screwdrivers, aspirin, tape and go to this new thing called a STORE!
Oh, and I love dark chocolate and shoes! =)

Thanks everyone for the responses!
Your response made me chuckle ... I do not have neighbors who think they are better then us. I am family for that! Exhausting!
