Ridiculous Neighbors You’ll Feel Happy That They Arent Yours

Everyone dreams of living in a good neighborhood but practically everybody has a story to share about a neighbor they don’t really get along with. However, it’s quite common to have a bad relationship with your neighbors; it’s quite another living with neighbors as bad as these.

Neighbors From Hell

Neighbors From Hell

These neighbors went over insane levels to make the lives of their neighbors even more difficult.

Fighting Through Their Pets

When we talk about neighborly feuds and altercations, loose pets might tangle us in trouble even without realizing it. And besides, who would want their yard to be littered by someone else’s dog?

Fighting Through Their Pets

When this person noticed their dog pooping on the house entrance, they decided to alert their neighbor. The hiccup though, was that when he rebutted, they were merely repaying the service because of the “ruin” their neighbor’s dogs had caused on their front-lawn, the criticism backfired.

Great Parking Moves

You know how horrible people’s parking jobs can be if you’re staying in a community where people don’t even park in garages. This one has the promise to be the nastiest.

When this one went outside sometime, they noticed that their next-door neighbor had thought that it was simply too wonderful to be parted in the block. Their car was parked along the footway. Sadly, because this is not an exclusive walk-way, the other neighbors are now cut off.

But I Used A Key!

You might inform some people in your neighborhood where you place your extra key are in only for certain situations. Perhaps you’ll be out for vacation and need somebody to look after your dog or close friends while you’re gone.

But I Used A Key

But I Used A Key

Instead of getting instructions on where to find the extra key, this gentleman just went out and found it. They just came in, and use groceries that their neighbor had purchased, with their newfound ability. We’re not sure how they don’t feel it as trespassing on someone else’s home.

Definitely No Pets In Here

Platforms like marketplaces on Facebook, for example, are quite handy! You may save money and reduce waste by buying secondhand from your neighbors.

Definitely No Pets In Here

Definitely No Pets In Here

It is, however, your responsibility to ensure that what you are purchasing is legit. Your neighbor may deceive you in order to sell anything. It was rather obvious in this example that this guy wasn’t telling the truth about the “no animals” criterion. Although we must admit, the cat is one smooth and cute criminal.

Can’t You Just Text!

Staying at a place with common walls, as we’ve seen, maybe a particularly tricky situation to handle even to those used with it. It’s understandable that the people next door would object to you partying hard or booming music.

Cant You Just Text

Cant You Just Text

Your neighbors, on a different note, cannot oblige you to just stay quiet all the time. This specific person made a request that was a little more substantial. They were not bothered by television or over-the-top music but just demanded that ordinary phone calls be prohibited.

Minimal Usage

People may lie while selling products to other people, as we have already discussed. To put it directly, they’ll attempt to present any product in the best possible light.

Minimal Usage

Minimal Usage

This person may have exaggerated the situation a bit beyond what is reasonable. It would just be absurd to call this grill “lightly used.” This grill appears to have already met its end! At the very least, they admitted that it has to be repaired, but this isn’t just any simple repair job.

Stories From Shared Walls

Anyone who has ever occupied a house or apartment with common walls are aware of how ghastly quarreling pairs can be. This individual determined that the only thing left to do was sit down and enjoy the program.

Stories From Shared Walls

Stories From Shared Walls

What really sucks is that their neighbors could hear it just as well as they could hear the couples fighting. This resulted in a discussion that any normal person would feel uncomfortable. They regarded it as an opportunity to go all-in, and even revealed that they’d made snacks for the fight.

Weird Stuff For Sale

We’ve previously stated that anything you find on Nextdoor or Amazon may not be the most truthful form of advertising. When reading a depiction, ahead of making a purchase, it’s best to think critically.

Weird Stuff For Sale

Weird Stuff For Sale

Is it even possible that this neighbor caught a “spirit” in this storage jar? We can say though that we have our doubts about the credibility of this paranormal event. From a different perspective, it’s understandable that you wouldn’t want to dump a ghost you’d got tangled with the bad leftovers.

Never Cross The Boundary

Some neighbors are uninterested in the location of the boundary limit. In other instances, you may find that your neighbors are particularly concerned about the boundary limits.

Never Cross The Boundary

Never Cross The Boundary

This individual wasn’t about to accept the boundary limit as something other than the Creed any time soon. This neighbor wouldn’t give an inch – much less three – after a child left their carriage toy over the boundary limit. This appears to be a sign of some really nasty neighborly affiliation.

The Person Next Door’s Pass-Time

Unless you’re buddies, you generally don’t really know much about your neighbor’s interests. Otherwise, it appears as if those interests would have no impact on you.

The Person Next Doors Pass Time

The Person Next Doors Pass Time

Unfortunately, this isn’t necessarily the situation, though it does require a truly nasty neighbor to bring it to life. We’re hoping they would at least pay for the window to be fixed. When it’s about practicing the bow and arrow, it’s probably advisable to stay clear from the neighbor’s house in the future.

Please Turn That Off!

There are certain situations that will immediately trigger any of your irritation. It would only need some of Guns n’ Roses’ “Sweet Child of Mine” on repeat to provoke a response.

Please Turn That Off

Please Turn That Off

This person couldn’t stand it any longer after roughly three days. They jumped to Nextdoor, hoping that someone would be able to reach the guy next door and urge him to switch off the music. Unlike them, we’d have to admit that listening to the full record through three long days is exhausting.

Corgi For Rent

Its quite common for neighbors anywhere to borrow stuff from each other. Neighbors stopping over for a spoon of salt or some handy work tools are all too classic case of this situation.

Corgi For Rent

Corgi For Rent

This neighbor used Nextdoor to make quite an unusual request. They asked to rent someone’s corgi for around two hours so they could thoroughly enjoy the Royal Wedding. They swear that if you let them pirate your dog, they will spoil and admire it for the rest of the day.

Putting It All On The Line

Blocking your neighbor’s driveway might have a significant influence on someone’s day. Makes sense, we’ve all been through that experience of how being late can ruin the rest of your day.

Putting It All On The Line

Putting It All On The Line

This person believed that by informing their neighbor that they’re going to lock them in, they might resolve the situation politely. Rather than a quick response, they were effectively instructed to just sit till they were through. As a result, they resorted to a much harsher response: towing the entire car out of the path.

Not A Marquee Statement

There are some things that when someone says something, it just won’t end well. Sometimes all it takes is an update or a heads-up to alert you to the fact that you’re going to view something disturbing.

Not A Marquee Statement

Not A Marquee Statement

When you get a message saying things like screaming at someone’s kid and that the kid deserves it, common sense says things will reach intense level on Nextdoor. It’s also something like a defensive stance. It moves us to think what was the issue in the first place.

It’s My Cat!

If your feline pet escapes during the evening, you may need to ask for assistance from your neighbors. Besides, who can be the most likely to see a missing cat in the community than the neighbors?

Its My Cat

Its My Cat

The consequence is that, really there are some people that can take advantage of the opportunity to prove that they really are bad neighbors. This person upon receiving a message concerning their pet, they probably didn’t expect to see other people claiming the feline as the pet they own.

That Feels Good Enough

What’s really good about this is that the neighbor’s car did not fully physically obstruct this person’s driveway. The problem though is that they were not also fully clear of it.

That Feels Good Enough

That Feels Good Enough

This is due to the fact that this neighbor is keeping a ladder in the back of the truck. Worse, it’s clear that they easily could have pulled up further, keeping the ladder clearly and surely away from the neighbor, but they didn’t. Altogether, it appears that this is an accident waiting to happen.

I’m Sorry For Your Loss

Neighbor disputes are usual happenings and typically are never good, and you simply wish for it to be over as quickly as possible. As a result, a lot of people don’t even attempt to be intelligent and clever in our interactions with the people next door.

Im Sorry For Your Loss

Im Sorry For Your Loss

Furthermore, it appears that the relationship of these borders was already beyond rebuilding. It also appears that this is the long-coming finale of a long-running quarrel. In any case, you simply have to respect the cleverness involved in conveying your sympathy for the car you’ve towed.

Maintaining The Beauty Of Neighborhood

The effort of each household and tenant usually determines the overall beauty of a community. To encourage neighbors to comply, some neighborhoods implement an agreement among homeowners or a similar arrangement.

Maintaining The Beauty Of Neighborhood

Maintaining The Beauty Of Neighborhood

Though nobody wishes to listen their neighbors complain about their house, there are times when things can get out of hand. For example, having a few scattered toys around the yard that they simply don’t like is one of those. It’s one thing to litter your street, but it’s quite another to clutter your curb.

Why Would I Take It?

If some of your things just suddenly disappear, you may be curious about where it might have gone. In hindsight, it may be worthwhile and mature to stop for a moment and take a step back before condemning your neighbors.

Why Would I Take It

Why Would I Take It

It might have been simple, for example, to seek around a little for the trash bin, or even to factor in the rain that just took place. Warning to contact the cops on your neighbor because apparently, they took your garbage can is simply not the greatest solution to the situation.

Would You Want Spoiled Food?

There are some alternatives you wouldn’t think of when dealing with the goods people just decide to give or sell on Nextdoor. Maybe some bottles of salad dressing that’s gotten bad?

Would You Want Spoiled Food

Would You Want Spoiled Food

We’re curious as to when this online post was brought up. Just imagine, these were set to expire in 2016, then how long a time has it been since then? Why bother with the post in the first place? Who would even want two bottles of used something that are about to expire?

For That Long?!

This probably is giving you a case of the migraine already just seeing this parking job. Simply put, how will people even deal with this RV with this guy here?

For That Long

For That Long

If you’re looking to get even more furious, consider the fact that this RV didn’t just park here for the night. They saw this neighbor of theirs is parking the RV in this way not in just days, but for several months at a time! This would create an almost terrible scenario for the owner the RV, not to mention the people dealing with it in the neighborhood.

That Seems Too Much A Favor

Certain requests should only be asked of persons you can trust. It’s sometimes best not to go around asking random people for any favors that aren’t appropriate for the relationship you have.

That Seems Too Much A Favor

That Seems Too Much A Favor

On Nextdoor, this person gave a wonderful case of this. The majority of consumers don’t want to risk their credit with some random stranger that they met online, or the guy next door, or only a friend. Part of this is asking people who live in your near area if they’d mind sharing payment for a loan.

Do You Know The Answer?

It’s probably best to make sure that it’s their cat if you wish to tell the people next door that their pet is in your home. At the absolute least, please prove first that it’s even a cat.

Do You Know The Answer

Do You Know The Answer

Before sending this text, this neighbor failed to check the first thing on the list to see. It is not just that this isn’t the person’s pet; just looking at it, it’s not even a cat! Despite the fact that that this definitely is a raccoon, they tried to pin the responsibility on them!

Going Directly To The Point

There really are some of those loud unavoidable noises. You might hear some nasty and uncomfortable sounds if you happen living next to a home with a child trying hard to learn the clarinet.

Going Directly To The Point

Going Directly To The Point

Too bad but this guy couldn’t bear it any longer. This person needed to know other than the fact that their son’s clarinet playing was loud; they needed to get a clue about how bad it was. It was really bad that the following attempts to play it should maybe even be avoided.

Can We Play Pretend

In times of crisis, the people next door might turn to you for assistance. In those situations, you must decide to what extent of things you are even considering of doing.

Can We Play Pretend

Can We Play Pretend

This neighbor simply required someone to play an imaginary couple. This person wanted someone to play as a boyfriend for the day because the family was coming to visit and an uncomfortable meet and greet was on the rise. They said they’d do it, but only after some pretty harsh comments was returned.

Community Icons

In most things that people do appear to have effects, whether or not they are immediately apparent. The effects of this person’s behavior became apparent rather quickly.

Community Icons

Community Icons

We simply should appreciate their dedication to the ducks in the neighborhood but giving them food had an unexpected result. It not only made the ducks full, but they also decided to stick around. Must ask the question if there are enough bird droppings to go around for everyone.

That’s Just Impossible!

There are those things you simply cannot know. Nobody is omnipotent, after all. As a result, it’s only natural that you won’t always know what to do about every situation.

Thats Just Impossible

Thats Just Impossible

This neighbor, irritated by the sounds of an alarm system, requested that it be turned off. They didn’t realize that because this person wasn’t at home, they obviously brought the car with them thus impossible to make the commotion. But how can anybody even know who it was if they weren’t there?

Lazy Mode

Borrowing from people next door is nothing big every once in a while. For example, suppose you’re just trying to prepare a hot meal and you need to go to the market.

Lazy Mode

Lazy Mode

In hindsight, simply being “lazy” doesn’t typically give enough good sense to steal from somebody’s kitchen. In fact, in the spirit of resting, this guy not only wanted to borrow pasta but went on requesting all the things they need to make it. Admittedly, we must say, this neighbor does not appear to be convinced.

But, I Live Here

At first look, this may not appear to be a major issue. Why would you park in the spot of someone who lives there, day after day, if you don’t live there?

But I Live Here

But I Live Here

When they left this note, these neighbors didn’t even think of asking that question. While this note initially appeared to be a little excessively hostile, it’s even worse to realize that this driver parks there because it’s where they stay. That information would have been useful in the first place.

Depending On Each Other

As said before, your neighbors have made some understandable requests. There are some folks that are eager to assist you, like if your internet is down, for example.

Depending On Each Other

Depending On Each Other

Unfortunately, borrowing your neighbor’s wifi only works if your neighbor has wifi. The catch was that this individual had been accessing their neighbor’s wifi for the past year. To be honest, this isn’t something most people would admit directly, and we’re curious as to where the conversation moved from there.

A Full-Blown Bad idea

There are some things you should avoid at all costs. There’s a reason why people are working to rescue the bees right now, aside from this terrible neighbor.

A Full Blown Bad Idea

A Full Blown Bad Idea

Overall, they’re beneficial to have around! If you want your garden to grow and the bee population to continue to dwindle, you might want to keep them. This nasty neighbor is delighted to exterminate them merely because they pollinate their garden. We’re certain that this will assist the garden’s growth.

Not Lending A Hand

To be fair, there’s no law that says you have to aid your neighbors if the situation arises. Even so, no one will refer to you as a neighborly presence.

Not Lending A Hand

Not Lending A Hand

This neighbor could have easily cleared the snow off the opposite half of the stairs in a fraction of the time. They aren’t even a separate set of stairs; they are simply the other half of what they were working on before! Eventually, they decided to push and give this task to their next-door neighbor.

Unsolicited Views

Hearing a couple fighting through the wall is simply an upsetting experience. Do you say something and risk intruding on someone’s private life, or do you just smile and bear it till they’re done?

Unsolicited Views

Unsolicited Views

This person’s response was to reach out. When they did, they didn’t get a lot of great feedback, so they tried something a little more aggressive. They provided them with an overly extensive explanation as to why they should break up so they wouldn’t waste their time.

The Dividers Are Quite Thin

It’s enough to make anyone cover their ears in sympathy with all of these accounts about horrific experiences with shared walls. This one can even make you cover your nose as well.

The Dividers Are Quite Thin

The Dividers Are Quite Thin

Even the sound of their neighbor breaking wind could be heard through the wall because it was so thin. We’re really not sure why this person even phoned their neighbor to inform them, but their reaction was as funny and as weird as it gets.

Terrible All Over

Nothing is more terrifying to any pet owner than something bad happening to their pet. Not to mention that even if the pet is fine, vet fees can quickly add up.

Terrible All Over

Terrible All Over

The worst part about this next-door neighbor is that their dog attacked this family’s dog. They insisted that they pay the vet fees so that their dog could recover from the incident. They agreed, but the money was given in pennies, making the situation even more difficult.

Hello, Saturday!

To be honest, everything about this circumstance is terrible. However, we appreciate that hearing someone doing yardwork first thing when the sun comes on one of your few days off might be exhausting.

Hello Saturday

Hello Saturday

They inquired if they could make any changes to the schedule. They were even willing to compromise to a later time and asked if he might work during the week because the neighbors were already up early at that time. Unfortunately, they refused to comply, making the situation much stranger.

No Cooking Allowed

There are occasions when you should be especially aware of other people’s allergies. For example, don’t eat a PB&J around a coworker who has a severe peanut allergy.

No Cooking Allowed

No Cooking Allowed

However, in this situation, everything is pushed over the limit. This guy said that any type of cooking causes their undetected allergies to flare up. To alleviate the problem, they simply request the neighbors do not cook. When cooking is absolutely necessary, they even listed “not cooking” as a choice!

Is This A Code Red?

There are situations when you may need to notify your neighbors of valuable information. It can be a fantastic means for people to come together in crucial times, which should be few and far between.

Is This A Code Red

Is This A Code Red

However, if it is used for a non-emergency under the incorrect label, the system loses its value. Whole Foods’ avocados, for example, rarely need an urgent warning to everyone in the neighborhood. Despite the fact that there were 16 responses, it appears people were willing to offer ideas.

Can’t Really Deal With It

From time to time, we’ve all done something to avoid having to chitchat. Maybe you pretended to make a phone call when an ex-friend walked by or ducked down the isle at the store to avoid bumping into your boss.

Cant Really Deal With It

Cant Really Deal With It

Unfortunately, we don’t always execute these tactics as well as we think we do. This person was clearly caught trying to avoid having interactions with their neighbors, which was brought to their attention. Allowing this person a minute of peace could have been preferable.

Law Enforcement Competition

While law enforcement organizations are supposed to work together, this isn’t always the case, especially when they’re stationed so close to each other. The firefighters thought it would be a good idea to set up a ‘mouse’ trap for their police force colleagues.

Law Enforcement Competition

Law Enforcement Competition

When you put their stations next to each other, you get something like this, all in good fun of course. So much for cooperation between neighboring agencies, but at least they were promised free doughnuts. Mocha frosting is our favorite.

Late Night, Deep Thoughts

We’ve heard a lot of disturbing stories about strange neighbors, but this one takes the cake. Why would this person just sit there in the middle of the night, starring at a bunch of watermelons with deep thoughts that maybe he’s reaching for a philosophical truth.

Late Night Deep Thoughts

Late Night Deep Thoughts

Maybe he’s going through a difficult time? Are you pondering life’s mysteries or planning something heinous? We wouldn’t want to live next door to this person. Also, don’t worry about the watermelons; they didn’t hurt anyone!

Oh Look, Bob!

Unless you’re Bob’s neighbor, deciding who will paint a shared fence may not be such a huge concern. Whoever that person is, they simply wanted to let Bob know that they did, well, though not quite correct, what they were requested to do.

Oh Look Bob

Oh Look Bob

Bob isn’t going to be happy with that paintwork, we’re sure. Maybe fences aren’t the best kind of neighbors? At the very least, they were courteous and painted a happy face on it, you know, to lighten the sarcasm.

I Wasn’t Finished!

It’s difficult to imagine a strong argument why you’d want to turn off the washing machine when it’s already doing its job of washing your clothes, unless they’re someone else’s. It was They were, however, someone else’s laundry in this case, and what’s more crazy is that it was done on purpose!

I Wasnt Finished

I Wasnt Finished

As a result, it’s not surprising that they had to retrieve their clothes frozen outside. That should be enough to teach them a lesson! This severe, although otherwise necessary, method is not appropriate to us.

Snowy Cold Wars

This guy’s next-door neighbor has been stockpiling snowballs in his fridge since last winter so he may fling them at his neighbors on hot summer days. We can only hope that his neighbors have done the same and will not find themselves without a means of defense unless they surprise him with water guns.

Snowy Cold Wars

Snowy Cold Wars

Of course, this is a disaster waiting to happen. Who knows how things will play out between these two camps? They’d better get ready because it appears that winter is on its way.

Farming Pun

Neighbors might be strange, but they can also be incredibly embarrassing. Jonathan’s neighbors are likely aware that he is celebrating his 18th birthday and have devised a unique way to joining their celebration. We’re not sure what their (or Jonathan’s) beef with cows is, but we love the clever wordplay (see what we did there?).

Farming Pun

Farming Pun

We’re also curious if they have any plans to get Jonathan a yearlong supply of Ben & Jerry’s ice cream for his birthday next year. We like cookie dough if anyone asks.

This Is A Warning

This person in Canada was so annoyed with their neighbor’s child for putting his toys in the snow in their driveway that they decided to do something clever, and weirdly quite creative, about it. We really hope these aren’t the poor kid’s legs sticking from the snowman, since that would be simply quite creepy and rude.

This Is A Warning

This Is A Warning

Also, we’re curious as to why this kid was playing with things like broomsticks. These aren’t lightsabers at all! You can use this to poke someone in the eye, kiddo!

Feet Aren’t For Dragging

Living in an apartment building can be difficult at times, especially if you have noisy above neighbors who like to move furniture around at 4 a.m. However, it appears that in this case, someone made a concerted effort to bother their downstairs neighbors by dragging something else — their feet.

Feet Arent For Dragging

Feet Arent For Dragging

We just want to let them know that prehistoric times have called, and they need their stone shoes back right this instance. No, truly, how difficult is it to raise your feet instead of shuffling them when walking?

Sassy Wi-Fi

We all know that in today’s generation, you can’t survive without Wi-Fi. What happens, however, when it becomes a fight among neighbors? These two have certainly found a method to share their true feelings for each other in a very original and sassy way.

Sassy Wi Fi

Sassy Wi Fi

Hopefully, they don’t wind up removing each other from the internet, since otherwise, things may become very ugly fast. We also ask which is more difficult to bear: having a music-challenged neighbor or having a grammar police neighbor.

Release The Grandson!

Some folks are completely obsessed with their lawns. Some people may take it to a whole new level by placing up placards like this one. A passive-aggressive approach typically works in these situations, but this one is definitely stretching the edge, possibly even too far.

Release The Grandson

Release The Grandson

We’re just curious as to why they chose their grandson to do their dirty work. Worse, what does the parents of the poor kid have any say at all in this situation?

Microwave On The Porch?

You probably have a lot of electronics with you that you can connect in different places for different use. For example, you might plug in a phone charger and then forget about it.

Microwave On The Porch

Microwave On The Porch

It’s very rare that you’ll forget about a plugged-in item like a microwave. When this person came outside and saw a microwave that wasn’t theirs plugged in on their porch, they were confused. We’re curious if this post was successful, and someone admitted that it was their microwave.

I’ll Take Lilo & Stitch

Before we leave, we have another person who was harmed by a horrible neighbor and a wall. It all came down to an argument over which films these neighbors enjoyed.

I Will Take Lilo & Stitch

I Will Take Lilo And Stitch

This person could no longer stand hearing the Moana soundtrack. This person, on the other hand, was not willing to accept the fact that their neighbor was tired of hearing the movie. They did provide a selection of other popular films to watch on repeat.

That’s A Mature Conversation

There are several things you should really avoid doing. The fact that you shouldn’t belittle a kid is near the top of this list, especially if the child appears to be quite young.

Thats A Mature Conversation

Thats A Mature Conversation

In this situation,any person would be annoyed if a child sneezed on them without, at the very least, even saying sorry. Still, making a rude remark about her appearance is strange and distressing. We’d probably avoid having any more interactions with this neighbor because they seem simply awful.

Please, Be Considerate.

Christmas lights covering houses are indeed a common sight during the winter holidays. It appears though that not everyone enjoys the custom.

Please Be Considerate

Please Be Considerate

In theory, this person had no issues about Christmas lights as a whole. She only asked that they be turned off by 7:30 p.m. While the early hour is appealing, the actual highlight and punch-line of this weird message is the claim that it is to give their cats some much-needed rest.

Not The Actual Answer

There are a few drawbacks to sharing a wall with a neighbor on the other side of the apartment. When you have shared walls, the best option is to work together to figure out what will work.

Not The Actual Answer

Not The Actual Answer

That’s a message these neighbors next door didn’t get. This person couldn’t take it anymore when their neighbor started playing a guided meditation sound-track in their apartment. However, their neighbor’s response was far from a mutually beneficial arrangement.
