12+ Horror Stories Of The Worst Neighbours Ever

1. The Balcony From Above

2. Weird? I'd call it Spooky

We just thought she was a free spirit; just your average hippie-dippie Scandinavian woman with alternative parenting ideas. 

I told her that he couldn't undress anymore, but I wasn't mad because I knew things were less uptight where she was from in Norway. Later, I told my son about it. On the other hand, her older daughter was always misbehaving. Her first visit to our house, she smeared chapstick all over the wall. She was probably six. She was old enough to know better.

As I was playing outside with my kids, she sneaked into our house and began eating some brownies I had just made. Basically, she ripped a hole in the middle of the plastic wrap and scooped out handfuls of brownies. Also, she would "pole dance" on the tree out front, singing "Shake yo money maker." She was six years old.

Her children had birthday parties, to which we were invited and brought gifts. Then we learned that their REAL birthdays were later in the year. We declined their invitation again. She explained that she celebrated half birthdays. I told her we didn't. I soon stopped my kids from playing at their house.

Even so, we still bumped into one another walking to school. Then she would tell me that she had seen demons posing as people and that God had told her that I was close to seeing the light and becoming a Christian. She accused me of calling Child Protective Services on her during this time. I didn't, but maybe I should have.

She finally caught up with me one day to give me a bag of used clothes for my daughter. 

3. A Near Fatality

My next-door neighbor came home from the local bar with his friend and they both had a little bit too much to drink. At one point they started playing around with a pistol and accidentally shot through their floor – down into my apartment. The worst part was that I actually got hit in the stomach…

I called 9-1-1 and when the ambulance was taking me to the hospital, my panicked fiancé was getting ready to leave because the EMTs told her to follow. My neighbor later came down and was like “What happened? We heard a commotion!”. The authorities were called and they both got taken into custody.

4. A Sketchy Deal

During my first year of university, I found a room in an apartment building. The apartment had five bedrooms on one floor and a shared kitchen and bathroom. My landlady rented out each room individually, so I lived with four strangers. Apart from normal roommate quarrels, they were mostly decent guys.

It was fine until the roommates had to move out before the lease was up. They didn't want to be billed for the month of rent, so they found subletters. One of my roommates rented out his room to an unknown person. This person wasn't really thoroughly vetted. He gave me a weird vibe when we bumped into each other when he moved in.

I thought he seemed sketchy, but we were all poor students, so maybe I misread him. I barely even got to know him long enough to remember his name. A few days after he moved in, I was watching a movie with my girlfriend in my room. During the movie, I thought I heard radios going off.

It didn't bother me since it was just a part of the movie. About twenty minutes later, however, someone knocked on our apartment door. Because none of my other four roommates were home, I answered it, and was greeted by not one, not two, but five officers. One of them was armed with an SMG.  Officers: “Does this man live here?” Me: “Uh…Yeah, I think that’s the new roommate…”

Officers: “Is he home?” Me: “Uh…I don’t think so…” They came in and knocked on his bedroom door. No answer. Curious, I asked them what was happening. The officers exchanged meaningful glances, and one of them responded that he might have been injured in an incident. A few minutes later, the apartment door opened and the sketchy roommate stood in the hallway.

Me: "What's up?" You: "Are you okay?" The authorities were here looking for you and said you were injured.” 

Then another knock at the door! The authorities were there. They had some reinforcements and even some dogs with them. I pointed to the door. I locked myself in my room after an officer unbuttoned his holster. That night, I emailed my landlady to let her know what had happened. I said I would be moving out early and did not want to be billed for my last month's rent. She did not argue.

5. Pee Trouble

I moved into a run-down apartment in a pretty small rural town. The building was occupied by basically the worst people in the area. I moved there because I didn’t have a driver’s license and the apartment was close by to my new job. I quickly learned what a mistake it was.

One night when I finished work, I walked back to my apartment block and met two of my neighbors by the entrance of the building. They were living wall-to-wall with me and I could hear all of their drugged up saturnalias more than once. This particular day they started to follow me up the stairs without saying a single word. I rushed inside my apartment and locked the door instantly.

They were yelling and hammering their hands at the door so hard that I thought it was going to break. I yelled back: “What do you want?? Leave me alone!” The man said with a fragile voice; “We were just wondering if we could borrow your pee for a drug test tomorrow.” In a not so polite way I declined and told them to go away. I didn’t live at that place much longer.

6.

Pot Calls Kettle Black

Whenever I lived in a small apartment, my neighbors would crank their music to 11 -- very loud -- and leave it there until about 7 am. I usually left for work at that time. It was so loud that I couldn't hear my own TV. Even though my neighbors and I banged on the door, they never opened it.

I felt like I was at a festival trying to sleep. Then I learned they often left for a bar across the street, but would leave the music on. I tripped the breaker for their apartment as soon as I learned of this. For a while, it worked, but they would come back at 5 am and turn it back on. Many people complained, but nothing was done. 

One night, while they were out as usual, I jammed their lock so their keys wouldn't work. They had to get the property manager when they couldn't get in after they returned from the bar. He heard the music blaring inside. When this happened a couple of times, they were evicted. Hmm...maybe I am the bad neighbor here.

7.

No, No and No

My partner and I bought the house next door to my best friend. I had lived with him for a decade when his kids were babies, so the kids viewed my house as an extension of theirs and came and went all day, every day. Because my schedule is more flexible than his and his wife's, I see them in the mornings, after school, and on my days off.

I installed a retractable cover on my pool because my friend's kids were still small, so I made sure it was locked so they couldn't open it. My friend’s yard had one of those wood fort/climbing wall/swing set deals and a large sandbox. We spent most evenings outside, grilling, drinking, and watching the kids play/swim/whatever.

On a summer day, I came home from work a little earlier than usual, and started to prepare dinner. My back door was knocked on, which was strange, since my buddy's kids never knocked. It turned out to be a mom and two kids who looked to be maybe 5-7 years old. When I opened the door, she informed me that her kids needed to use the bathroom and I needed to get the cover off my pool.

As I was confused, I asked her to repeat herself, and she said that her kids were tired of playing in the sandbox because they were hot and bored, so I needed to open my pool. Then I asked her what the hell she was doing in my friend's yard, and why she thought her kids were welcome to swim in my pool or use my bathroom.

After that, she got a little spooky and said she had moved into the house behind us and that she had always seen my buddy's kids coming over and that I would open the pool for them. Because I was willing to open my pool for the neighbors' children, she insisted that I also open it for the children living behind me. I tried to explain my relationship with my best friend's family.

Since I had known them since birth and had helped raise them, it didn't matter to her. I just had to get to know her kids too and everything would be fine. I told her no and shut the door on her. She knocked and fussed at me through the window for a while and then let her kids pee in a planter.

Seeing I hadn't reacted, she took her children back into my friend's yard to play on the swings. Immediately after I texted him to let him know what was happening, I saw him letting his 300+ pound Newfie dogs out into the yard without notice of the unwelcome guests. The mom starts screaming and runs into the fort, leaving both kids on the swings.

She demands that we bring the dogs inside, and how dare my friend let his dogs out into her own yard while her kids were clearly playing. He tells her to leave and calls the police. After the officers arrived, she put on the whole waterworks about how her kids are just looking for friends, and my buddy's kids are somehow mistreating her kids, even though she's never met them.

In her words, he invited her over only to let his dogs attack her children, blah blah blah. She is eventually moved back onto her own property, then returns later to tell us they warned her against coming back. Her husband and she lived in that house for almost a year before they divorced. 

Over that year, I had to replace the lock on the pool cover controls three times, have a fencing company remove a gate at the back of my property that allowed the lawnmower to pass through, and eventually hire a security company to check on the yard anytime we were going to be away for more than a few hours.

We found her and her kids in our yards repeatedly, but when we got home, she'd leave. It wasn't until my partner caught her in the pool that the issue was resolved. She told him she knew the man who owned the house and that he had told her to swim. He told her he was married to the man that owned the pool and that it’s not OK to swim. As a result, she had an adverse reaction when she realized her sons were being immersed in gay water. After that, we never saw her again.

8. Leaving The State

Around 15 years ago my parents and I lived in Fort Wayne, Indiana. We befriended one of the neighbors and her two children. One day when we were all hanging out, I noticed her son had some bad bruises and big sized knot on his head. I ignored it at the beginning and we continued to play. Later that night, the mother came over and made a shocking confession to my mom.

His Mom said she ended the boy’s life. She went into some disturbing details about what happened and she wasn’t remorseful at all. As she left, my mom immediately called the authorities and she was taken to the station shortly after. The worst part of the story is that she vowed she would do the same thing to my Mom when she got out. We left Indiana after a couple days and moved to another state.

9. War In The Garden

I work as a surveyor and one day this woman called us with a complaint about her neighbor’s garden growing into her property. The woman told us how nasty she was but when we arrived she ended up being the nicest person ever. She said she willing to move her garden but only when the survey was finished.

However the horror was revealed when we staked out the line and it went through the other woman’s shed. She yelled at us, pulled out our stakes and tried to beat us with them. Her neighbour, the one with the garden, was almost in tears because she knew she was right. She installed a large fence and made the woman move her shed. I love it when the good guy wins.

10.

White Flag

I just moved into a brand new house. There was an old toilet, garbage, and a broken hot tub in the neighbors' front yard. Nothing special about that. I made cookies and we introduced ourselves. He laughed and slammed the door behind us. 

He was kneeling, checking that the bricks were level, while I stood beside him and handed them over. Our neighbor then walked by and yelled, “Well, I can see who wears the pants!” My husband and I looked at each other, totally perplexed. Soon after, we got a puppy. A neighbor told us he saw his son throw lit matches over the fence at our puppy when he was playing in the backyard.

There were about 50 matches in our yard. Then she also had to call the authorities because his other son broke the lights on her garage and

11.

Karma Justice

This happened to my parents before I and my siblings were born. Our current family home was their first purchase, and they arrived on their motorbikes to view it. After deciding to buy the house, they greeted the neighbors. The neighbors expressed how pleased they were that the "bikers" didn't buy the house, then went on to rant about how they dislike bikers...without knowing that my parents were the bikers.

As you can imagine, it didn’t go down too well when the pthey noticed the bikes. 

They called the fire department, which extinguished the fire. One of the firefighters approached my mother and pointed out that there were matches lying around, and that it was likely an arson attack. My mom didn’t pursue it with the authorities for God knows what reason, but while in her fit of rage, she told my dad: “Whoever did this is going to break their right leg.” Coincidence or not, a week later, one of the neighbors came home with his right leg in a cast.

12.

Real Peaches

My neighbor sprayed something on the hedge between our houses that destroyed it. Initially, we planted it next to her cyclone fence so we wouldn't have to look at her. Everything we plant there dies, and they always start dying from her side. The reason we plant things at the window is because she's always watching out the window!

She also moved her in-ground sprinklers onto what I believe is our property. They are touching our driveway, and she sets them to go off at night when our cars are parked there. She refuses to set them for when we’re at work because it “interrupts her yard work time.” The water spots on our cars are from the irrigation water, and they leave huge, white, amoeba-shaped marks down one side of our car!

A year ago, I paid $250 to have acid used to remove them and they were still faintly visible. She actually had the nerve to suggest our son park his car there because the color of his car won’t show the water spots as bad! Her husband walks along the backyard fence and whistles at our dog to make her bark, then she complains to us about her dog barking.

13. No-Gooder

We we trying to sell our property but we were harassed by the neighbor’s nephew. He was doing everything in his power to stop people buying the house. He went into my house during an open house and told people not to buy it. We never spoke to him and till this day we still don’t know what his problem was.

He really pushed us over the edge when he started threatening my sister.  We called the authorities and made him sign a paper that if he was caught on the property again he’d be put behind bars. Luckily, he didn’t harass us again and we were able to sell the property.

14. Dispute About A Driveway

After moving into an apartment, our neighbor informed us that she owned half of the driveway. It was a huge driveway, so there was more than enough room for all of us. A few months after moving in, she divided the driveway in half with rocks. It didn't matter since we had plenty of room. Over the next two months, she slowly moved the rocks closer to our apartment.

It got to the point where we had to physically move them out of the way to get in and out of the driveway. In the end, the landlord got a survey done and found out that she didn't own the driveway at all! From that point on, she was forced to park her car on the road. It was only fair since she had lied to us and taken advantage of our generosity.

15. Bird Calls

Someone probably has a bad experience with me, although they don't know it's me. A malfunctioning smoke alarm in my apartment complex hallway has almost become a sort of bitter joke among my neighbors-it has been chirping several times a day for the past two months; but no matter what, maintenance is unable to fix it.

Despite what my neighbors think, the smoke alarm only chirped continuously for about three days. Everything since then has been my parrot, who liked the sound so much that she’s been mimicking it as often as she likes. Nobody knows I have a parrot. My next door neighbor believes I have a dog, however, because the feathery little witch similarly likes to bark before scolding herself for it.

16. Grand Theft Auto Neighbor

In my first job after college, I was thrilled to live by myself for the first time in my life. I had a beautiful one-bedroom apartment in a good part of town. My apartment was fine until six months later, when new tenants moved in next door. I had a package go missing (a phone case). Amazon had posted a photo of it at my door, so I assumed it was just a fluke.

Then it happened again and again. The office wouldn't accept packages, so I had to get my items delivered to my friends' homes instead, which was extremely inconvenient. When I reported it to the local authorities, they didn't care at all, so I just decided to handle it myself. 

Having been gone for less than an hour, I return to find my doorknob and front door scrapped up and the knob barely hanging on. Short story, I had been parking in plain view of this guy's window, so he knew when I was home. I am 100% certain that he tried to break into my place and was interrupted by me coming home early.

After I moved into his apartment, I googled his name-got it off a package at his door-and discovered he was a convicted felon with charges that included grand theft auto, domestic assault, drug dealing, and an attempted burglary.

17. Public Pool

Our neighbors insisted that we pay to install a gate between our backyard fences so they can use our above-ground pool whenever they want, preferably with their friends. We denied it, and they threw a hissy fit and found an excuse to "punish" us. The pool was experiencing costly leakage issues into the yard. They threatened to call the fine-happy HOA because the water was leaking into the yard they rarely used and their dog was allegedly getting sick from drinking the water.

Not wanting to deal with that nonsense (and also wanting to clean our own backyard of the pond that began housing frogs), my father spent his birthday day off from work in the Texas heat digging a trench and installing a pipe so that the water could drain. Dad was harassed by his neighbors the entire time he dug the trench, telling him it would have simply been easier to install the gate. I'd have preferred if they'd shoveled a shovel into their frontal lobes, those freaking profligates.

18. Grandma Girlfriend

I once lived in an apartment with paper-thin walls. It appeared that the people next door were a woman in her 70s and her 30-something grandson. They would yell at each other all day, blast their TV constantly, and the smell of their cigarettes would drift into my apartment, making it absolutely stinky.

The worst part was that they would, well...be very loud at night. It was the first time I realized they were not grandma and grandson as I'd assumed - at least I really hope so. Over an hour every night, I heard their creaking bed banging against the wall and the old woman moaning like a pig stuck in mud. Terrible. Whenever I came home or went out, even when I took out the garbage, the guy would be waiting outside his place, trying to chit chat with me while staring at my body. I lived there for a year, but it felt like ten.

19.

This Trash Didn’t Fall Far From The Tree

I once recorded audio of the mother and son fighting in which he was screaming and very graphically describing how he was going to kill her. I saw a guy in the building across from us also on his balcony subtly recording in case it escalated. The fight ended when his ex showed up either with or for the kids, and 

they

 started arguing instead. At one point, she screamed that she had crabs and drove off. It was crazy.

20.

Don Dog

The old neighbor used to walk his dog on a leash to take a dump in my yard. Once, my mother forced me to throw the mess back into his yard, and he called the police. My family and I were leaving town a few months later, and after we left the house, my mom realized that she had forgotten something.

We turned around and could not believe what we saw. Here's our awful neighbor with his dog on a leash, standing in the middle of our garden and dropping a nice present in our front yard. All I remember is my mother winding down her window and yelling, “Screw you, Don!”.

21. The

Black Tie Event

Growing up, a family member of my next-door neighbor passed away. He came to our door the day of the funeral and asked if he could borrow a tie. My father complied and gave him a nice black silk tie, suitably appropriate for the occasion. He felt bad for the guy and thought it was an easy way to help him out during his time of sorrow.

On arriving at the funeral, we noticed the neighbor was not wearing the tie he borrowed. After looking at the casket, we noticed the corpse was wearing my dad's tie. Rather than be rude, none of us said anything, so the tie was buried with the corpse, never to be seen again.

22. You Really Think You Know Someone

In Kansas City, I lived behind Bob Berdella, a notorious figure. I talked to him daily as he was the head of the neighborhood watch while I lived there for five years.

 I had no idea he was also living a secret life, kidnapping people and sending them without remorse.

 He was caught the day one of the young gay men he captured escaped and ran down the street wearing nothing but a dog collar.

I was listening to tapes and CDs at the time, so I had not heard anything about it on the radio. I was completely surprised to see so many police officers in my neighborhood that night. When I found out the truth, I sounded just like every other neighbor in that type of situation: “But he was such a quiet and nice guy…”

They used excavators and backhoes to dig up his yard, and they also tore down my fence. Eventually, he was sentenced to life in prison, where he eventually died. The house he lived in was later sold and demolished. It was strange. His store was in a flea market, and he displayed four skulls with a sign that read "Final Four." One of them came from a victim.

23.

The Psycho Neighbor

My aunt, who was a single mother at the time and ran a daycare service in her house, lived next door to a psychopath. A bad ice storm caused a bunch of tree limbs to fall into my aunt's backyard one day. As a good neighbor, her neighbor's husband came over and cleaned it up for her. My aunt, in her turn, thanked him with a case of drinks; you know, just being a good neighbor.

His wife interpreted that as flirting, and so a one-sided feud began against my aunt. It has been a while, so I don't remember everything. 

What I do remember, though, was horrifying. 

One time she ran over my aunt's dog. Another time, she called child protective services and told them my aunt was a night worker and working at her house during the daycare hours.

One of the worst was when my aunt discovered a bit of grass that had been burned near the house. She is old high school friends with the fire inspector, so he came and confirmed the fire was started with propellant. My aunt took her to court over these things, but I don’t remember what came of it. I'm pretty sure she got at least a restraining order.

24.

Here Today

I lived in an apartment with a lot of alternating tenants. An elderly woman moved into the apartment across the hall from me and promptly started hoarding. Then I noticed that her porch was starting to fill up with miscellaneous furniture, including, but not limited to, a roll-top desk. I was also yelled at once for taking her key out of the front door and putting it in the mail slot.

After a couple of weeks, I realized I hadn't seen her in a while and started smelling something strange. 

Then I found out the dark truth. 

It turns out that she had passed, but no one knew about it for a week-hence the smell. About a week later, her family came and cleared out her stuff.

25.

Deadbeat Dad

When I rented a flat with my ex, the upstairs neighbor was an absolute nightmare. It was a deadbeat dad who had his kids every weekend and left them screaming all the time. Every day, even when he had kids, he would blast music until sunrise. I contacted the council but nothing happened. I contacted child services, but nothing happened.

Every Sunday he would argue with his ex about how he wasn't paying child support. They’d argue right outside our door—we were on the ground floor. He was unemployed, owed the landlord a lot of money, and only left his flat to get groceries or drugs. He then had the nerve to get angry at me when my cat meowed loudly…once.

26.

A Big Disturbance

There was something burning in the oven of our neighbor. Rather than open his windows, he opened his door to the hallway and set off the building's alarms. All of us stood outside in the cold waiting for the fire department while he watched from his apartment.

The fire department opened his windows and yelled at him that he was a fool. Even so, we still had to wait outside for them to check everything, just to make sure it was just him being stupid. We were in January. In New England. During a cold snap.

27.

When Greed Takes Over

I live in Puerto Rico, where most of the island has been without power for the past two months since Hurricane Mara. Since our government's power authority has been so slow in restoring power, many neighborhoods in my area have hired private contractors to do the work. In my case, I found a contractor willing to bring our neighborhood’s power grid back on, but I needed unanimous support from the neighbors to pay and authorize the process.

My neighbors were mostly on board with this, but two of them opposed it for some reason. When we asked them why they were, their response floored us. According to them, they wanted the neighborhood without power so we'd eventually leave, and they'd never have to see our "annoying and pathetic" faces again. So it was pretty much a no-go on the contractor. One week later, we discovered that these neighbors had a friend in the power authority who asked them to keep away private contractors so the authority could take credit when the power returned.

28.

Dog's Shame

My dog was attacked by the neighbor's dogs in my backyard. Although he was okay in the end, it was a long recovery and he still has problems walking. As the happiest dog ever, to see him covered in blood on the ground was the worst thing ever. The dogs were able to get through my fence because their children had taken a plank out of it.

I left a letter explaining the situation on their door. They showed up at my door to tell me that it was my fault for not having a stronger fence and that they wouldn’t be paying any medical bills. After a lot of yelling and me explaining calmly why they would need to pay, they eventually gave in. They did build a fence, backwards, with the flat side facing them. Also, they are extremely loud, have chickens that escape regularly in our suburban neighborhood, and are generally scumbags.

29. Caught In The Middle Of It All

I had problems with my neighbors. They had constant, nightly blowouts and physical fights. Since they were not married, they were constantly on and off. The father was a heavy drinker and was well known to the officers. When we were sleeping, we heard the screaming and cries of their son (my little sister's best friend). Minutes later, the boy knocked on my mom's door for assistance.

She pulled him inside and a few minutes later the mom showed up, bloody and beaten up. She asked my mom to lock the door while holding onto her son. She didn't want to call the authorities for fear they would take the son, so she pulled out the couch and made them a makeshift bed. She locked the door and made the mom food while my sister and the son slept. 

That wasn't the end of the story.

About an hour after they arrived, the dad began kicking our door and screaming. He eventually left after my mom fought with him through the door for over an hour. My mother then arranged for them to stay in a women's shelter an hour or so away and brought them there the next night after he thought they'd already left. She spent two weeks sneaking things to them until she found an apartment back home and felt it was safe for them to return.

30. The Battle Of The TVs

Once, I lived in an apartment building with walls made of little more than paper. The next-door neighbors were clearly talking to one another, doing it in bed, walking up the stairs, etc. Somehow, they thought installing a surround sound system and mounting the speakers on our shared wall would be awesome. It was not awesome.

The TV was so loud that it literally shook the wall, and we could barely hear our own TV unless we turned it up ridiculously loud. Our request that they move the speakers to another location (or at least turn the bass down) was not well received by the neighbors, and ultimately authorities were called. Afterwards, the guy started pounding on the wall and screaming about how he was going to mess us up after being asked again to turn it down. Eventually, they were evicted when he threatened someone at the management office about some other matter.

31. Zero Remorse

I live in a rural area and my neighbor was a real jerk. He cheated on his heavily pregnant wife with another addict while on drugs, totally out of his mind. The outcome was horrifying. Scrappy was my husband's dog, and this guy set out cat food on his porch so Scrappy would go there.

We then witnessed the individual shoot our dog in the ribs after chasing him into our front yard. The dog didn't pass away immediately; he suffered. Even as a little 110-pound girl, I could've strangled my neighbor right there and then. I'm still angry about it. He didn’t even show a bit of remorse.

32. Issue After Issue

During college I lived on the top floor of a sketchy house because it was the only place that would let seven of us live together. In our first week there, SWAT raided one of the units below us. They burst in through the door and used flashbang grenades to attack them. One of the other units smelled like urine and constantly had people coming in and out buying illicit substances.

Our keys barely fit in the lock because people had tried to pick them so many times. Our cable and internet stopped working, so we called the cable company for assistance. In front of the box outside, the technician showed us nine lines that were sabotaging our internet. The list goes on and on. On the plus side, we could shoot bottle rockets in our hallway because it wasn’t like anyone was going to call the authorities on us.

33. The Doorbell Bandit

A neighbor of ours, a retired officer in his 50s, doorbell ditched us for a month. The funny thing is that we didn't know it was him. Apparently, he was upset with us because our dog would bark and disturb him. Since he never told us about this, his little prank didn't bother me too much. But we did want to catch him in the act at least once, just to spook him a little.

Finally, he doorbell-ditched us a few days before we were moving out. My wife and I looked at each other dead in the eyes, and without a word, I sprinted out the front door. On the other hand, she headed for the back door. Our unspoken agreement was, “Let's catch this jerk!”. I was so impressed that we did this without needing to say anything to one another.

I caught up with our shirtless neighbor and he put his hands up, saying, “Okay, you got me.” I said, “Dude, what the heck? Why are you doing this?”. Tipsy as hell, he began to tell me about my barking dog. Taking responsibility for not telling us, he apologized.

34. Ding Dong Neighbor

I had a lot of things happen with my ding-dong neighbor. She had a large dog that was mean to my older, smaller dog. Her dog bit my dog one day when it ran into my yard. She apologized and it didn't happen again. My neighbor dumped her lawn clippings in my backyard, and I had to ask her to stop and clean it up.

She decided to build a fence. Obviously, she did not get a survey, so I had one done. She had started building her fence three feet over my property. I told her to stop and remove it. She was angry and never rebuilt it. I painted my house. She painted her house the same color. We bought a new car. She bought a new car, same color, same model. There are a few other minor things, but that's it. Weird person. Very strange.

35. Neighbor Flung Cat

I had a 17-year-old cat that I loved so much. She was my mother's cat, and I got her when she died. Anyways, one day the cat disappeared. After a few days of not seeing her, I posted about it on Facebook, and it was widely shared. I was getting into my car for work when my young neighbor approached me shyly to tell me something.

My neighbor told me that she saw my cat thrown over the fence into the kindergarten playground by my other neighbor. We live very close to the elementary school. I spoke to the head custodian and he said there was indeed a dead cat on the playground. My neighbor is so out of her mind that she'd rather throw a dead cat into an area where young children play than dig a hole or tell me what happened.

36. Exam Stress

During finals week in my senior year, my upstairs neighbor, who had been quiet and respectful, decided to crank up the music. After knocking on the door twice and asking him to turn it down, he immediately turned it back up. The bass was so loud that my windows started shaking.

On the third attempt, I called the authorities, who issued a citation. After the officers left, he brought three or four friends over to knock on my apartment door. The only way to get them to leave was to point a pistol at them through the window. I was glad to be done with college.

37. Dispute Over Driveways And Fences

We have a neighbor who wants to tear out our driveway because of the slant and water running downhill. She’s a loon. The driveway was installed by contractors 25 years ago, and it is up to code. She’s threatened to sue us because her yard is at the bottom of the hill. We live in Georgia, and last year we had a TON of rain-more than usual.

As a result, she had three inches of standing water. According to her, she spoke to an attorney who said her case was solid. Later, she confirmed everything with our neighbor across the street who is a builder. When intimidation failed, our properties were separated by a fence. I guess it was supposed to offend us? Anyway, that was the best fence ever! It's true what they say... great fences make great neighbors. Since then, she hasn't bothered us and we are now pretty civil.

38. Open Fire

Three days ago, the neighbor's dog attacked my dog in the street. Unlike my dog, the other dog wasn't on a leash -- it just came charging at us. Since the dog looked like a pitbull and weighed about 60 pounds, I wasn't sure if it had any diseases. Not wanting to risk getting bitten, I tried to shoot it. I fired one shot and it ran off.

My neighbors were woken up by the shot and the owner came out yelling at me, as if allowing my dog, or myself, to be ripped open would have been a better option. It was quite a show when three officers showed up. Now I will have to appear in court for discharging a firearm within city limits. Honestly, I can't wait.

39.

Floridian Feud

We moved to Florida, and our neighbors were the most disturbed people I have ever met. Here are some highlights: They threatened to poison our dog, they threw stuff in our yard all the time to provoke us to react, and they set up two webcams in a window to watch our house. The list goes on and on.

One day, a shoe fell into my pool, and I, being a 13-year-old kid, picked it up and threw it over the fence. I kid you not, they called the authorities and told a total lie-they said I threw a shoe and it struck their grandmother in the head while she was watering her plants. I almost got in serious trouble. To this day, I swear we didn’t do anything to provoke their horrible behavior. We were friendly with them before they started acting out.

40.

No Consideration

I have so many stories about my next-door neighbor. One time, she decided she didn’t like the bush that was next to my mailbox, so she tore it out. In addition, she has four dogs, none of which are ever on leashes. Whenever they do their business, they always run over to everyone else's yard, and she never bothers to pick it up.  She also lets them run in the streets, and gives people dirty looks when they need to slam on the brakes to avoid hitting them.

Recently, I got a puppy of my own. When I take him outside, I have him on a leash in front of my house. They'll come charging over, scaring my dog, and he'll run back up the steps to go inside if her dogs are outside. I have asked her to put her dogs on a leash so that they do not wander into my yard. Her response? “They don’t like being on a leash,” and “Your dog needs to get used to other dogs.” Yeah, screw you and your poor dog ownership.

41.

The Ultimate Revenge

When I was a kid, I lived next to a family that was horrible. Our neighbors were loud and obnoxious, always playing their music loudly and throwing trash on our lawn. Also, they had a Great Dane who always ran into our lawn and took huge dumps, sometimes on our porch. Dad spoke to them a few times and they said there was nothing they could do.

My dad took matters into his own hands one day and used a shovel to pick up the mess and hurl it back into their yard. That's not even the best part - they had kids our age who weren't very nice. One day, they played in a blow-up pool placed on the hill. As we watched them play, the best thing happened... the whole pool tipped over and those little jerks went sliding down the hill. When they stood up, they were completely covered in their dog's feces. Best day ever.

42. About The Garbage

The retired woman on my street follows the garbage truck and lifts the garbage cans while we're all at work (because they're an eyesore). This would be fine, except she leaves them in the middle of the driveway during rush hour, and that's a problem.

You can either park a block away, move the garbage can, then go back to get your car or risk getting a ticket. Our houses are pretty close together, so when we turned and hit the garbage can, we found out what she was doing for the first time. It was just far enough back that you couldn’t see it until you turned.

43.

Door Opener Opens Man Eyes

The first apartment I lived in, there was a neighbor who kept trying to open the door. I didn’t hear it myself because I worked nights. Around 2 am one night, I came home and found him trying to get in through the apartment door. We had a huge argument and he stopped doing it after that.

My neighbor never tried anything like that again after he knew I lived there, so I guess he thought it was just my two female roommates on their own. It opened my eyes to the kind of nasty stuff that women have to deal with at the time. Really scary stuff...

44.

Case Of The Ex

I heard a really loud banging one evening and walked outside to find a fire extinguisher on the ground and a woman on her phone. Though I was confused, I put the extinguisher back and went inside. A few minutes later, I heard the banging again and opened the door to find the woman trying to beat down the door across from mine with the fire extinguisher.

The woman I was talking to was the ex-girlfriend of one of my neighbor's friends, and she was trying to find him even though he was nowhere to be found. Interestingly, I called the authorities, and my neighbor pointed out she'd been charged with drunken driving that night in an unrelated incident.

45.

It's A Chicago Thing

During Christmas time one year, I went to Chicago to see my Gramma. It was hard to find a parking spot near their house because the only one available had a lawn chair in the middle of it. I moved the lawn chair a few steps down from her house. What kind of person leaves their lawn chair out on a cold winter day? I placed it on the sidewalk so anyone could pick it up if they wanted.

As soon as my uncle saw what I had done, he rushed out in just his socks and told me to stop way down the street in front of an empty lot, and then he very carefully placed the chair back where it had been. It never occurred to me (at the time) how close I had come to being shot that day. You do not mess with the winter lawn chair in Chicago.

46. Nobody's Welcome

As soon as I moved into my house, I made an effort to meet my neighbors. Rather than being a creep and knocking on doors, I simply waited until someone was outside and casually walked over to introduce myself. About 8 o'clock one night, a Black neighbor of mine was having a big loud party, so I went over to say hi.

It was a birthday party for one of his grandkids, but there were lots of people out in the yard, so I thought it was okay to say hi. I said “Hey, I moved into this street a few doors down a couple of months ago. I was just stopping over to introduce myself.” He said, “Do you look like the color that’s supposed to be in this yard?” I apologized and went home. A couple of years later, he died of a heart attack; probably because he was such an unkind and hateful person.

47. I Guess It Was Me Who Was The Bad Neighbour

Up until about 2004, I lived in a bad part of Queens, NY. The house that we owned there had been owned by my family since the early 1900s. My family's house was known throughout the surrounding area -- kind of famous, I guess. However, not all members of my family were good people. There were members of my family who were gang members.

We were not allowed to play near the windows, so we wouldn't end up in the crossfire of a gang fight. We left that area because someone broke into the neighbor's house, mistakenly choosing the wrong house, and asked where OUR family was, trying to settle some issue. My parents decided to move.

48. A Strange Trade-Off

When I was 11 or 12, I started mowing our lawn. We only had a push mower, which was awful. My neighbor had a riding lawn mower and told me I could use it whenever I wanted; I just had to leave the gas tank full. I was thrilled. To repay that favor, my father asked me to also mow my neighbor's lawn.

Okay, I figured I could still do it in less time with a riding mower. But then, my father decided he didn't like it when the other neighbor's yard wasn't even with ours, and he felt bad that I was only mowing one neighbor's lawn and not the others. Like, he didn’t want to show partiality to one neighbor. Mighty big of him. At that point, I was mowing three lawns, totaling more than four acres on Saturdays. Fortunately, a new neighbor moved into that third house within a couple of years, and he wanted to mow his own lawn.

49. The Grass Is Always Greener

My wife and I had a neighbor who disliked us right from the start in our first home. The people who lived in the property before us were his family friends. They went through a divorce and ended up selling it to us. He was petty and mean to my wife, who does not like confrontation, and he did annoying things to get her mad. Before she left for work, he'd park across our driveway, throw pieces of wood over the fence, and let his dog trample over our lawn without picking it up.

A couple of times, I tried talking to him, but he told me to screw off. That was the last straw—I had to fight back. He would always brag about how beautiful his lawn looked, so the next time it rained I threw an entire box of oxo cubes in the backyard, then let the rain melt them into the grass. His dog absolutely destroyed his yard looking for the smell and I would make sure to comment on it every chance I got. Eventually, we moved.

50. Ambulance Visit Is Just The Beginning

An ambulance was called to our townhouse the very first night my wife and I moved in. It turned out our neighbor had pushed his girlfriend down the stairs. We heard the fight and saw the ambulance come. After that, he would bang on our walls every night at about 3 a.m., waking us and yelling at us to be quiet. We were always asleep at the time.

When I finally saw him, I confronted him, and things got heated. I actually thought he was quite crazy. A short time later he threatened to harm my wife. After he threatened my wife's life, we moved out. We contacted the authorities but they wouldn’t do anything about it.

51. Midnight Musician

I got a new neighbour. My old was okay so I was worried I’d be left with a bad deal when I got a new one.  And, I was right. This guy clearly decided that the best time to play bass was at 3 am. For some reason, he must have felt that his musical prowess came out at night. Every night, I’d have been asleep for a few hours and I had wrought the next day. Then, I’d suddenly jump awake because the neighbour had started to play jigs bass again.

I complained to the apartment manager but for some reason he seemed to side with the late-night musician. He actually said that yes, he was breaking the quiet rules in the night, but it was okay because he was learning a new skill which is something good. Of course, I’d tried myself to ask him to play in the daytime and he hadn’t listened and then the management wouldn’t do anything about it either. The worst thing about it all was he wasn’t even good. He was terrible.

53. The Life Story

I had this neighbour; she was quite old and she was pretty nice too but very annoying. Every single time I saw her she insisted on telling me her life story. The first time, I listened with interest. But several times later I don’t want to know. She’s very nice and everything, but it gets very annoying after a while. And, it meant that I could barely leave the house without being side-tracked.

It was particularly problematic when I was running late because who knew how long it would take this time. The woman could talk. And, for a long time too. When she was in the flow there was no stopping her, even to say sorry I’m running late. It got to the point where I had to think up a tactic. So, I would text my mom saying the neighbour has trapped me again and she would come out of the house with another pretend job for me so that she could save me.

54. Kids Run Wild

At the beginning of Spring, it starts again. The neighbours’ kids for some reason love to run wild all over my porch, and use the porch swing. They scream and jump and run all over and for some reason it seems to have to be my porch and not heir own. Clearly doing on a porch that they are allowed must ruin the fun. I tried countless times to tell them, and their parents too.

But the kids don’t care and neither do the parents who are usually drunk so they probably didn’t even notice. I’m sure when one of them gets hurt though it will be all my fault because it is my property, despite me telling them not to. Last summer one of the kids rode his bike past my car on my very narrow driveway. Yep, you can imagine next. The whole side is completely scratched. I haven’t even found a solution yet. I feel like I’ve become a grumpy old neighbour who hates kids, but I’m only 30.

55. No Noise to Shout About

I have a very strange neighbour. I mean, he seems normal but then at night things get a bit weird. Every night, when I’m asleep I’m woken up by the man above my flat banging on the floor and shouting. The reason he’s shouting is that he’s complaining we’re being too loud and that we need to be quiet because people are trying to sleep.

The irony. There is absolutely no noise until he starts shouting. I’ve tried to explain this to him a few times now but he clearly thinks I’m the crazy one. Complaining about noise when there is no noise, and therefore creating the noise problem.

56. Trash Dumping

I used to have a neighbour (thankfully not anymore) who would just chuck his trash over my fence. It could be anything, a used diaper, an empty toilet roll, some old food. Whatever it was, it would find its way over my fence and into my garden. I confronted him about it but he carried on. It wasn’t even like he was trying to do it that discreetly.

Anyway, I couldn’t fix the problem by being reasonable, so I tried a new tactic. I started throwing his trash and my trash right back over. As the saying goes, if you can’t beat them join them. The annoying thing is, he didn’t even say anything. He just carried on as normal. He would throw it right back again. It was relentless and he didn’t seem like he cared if it stopped or not. I called the authorities to try and make the problem stop. After all, the trash war couldn’t last forever. But they didn’t do anything. Eventually, I mode thankfully and I’m pretty lucky with my neighbour’s now. There’s certainly no trash throwing anyway.

57. Peeping Through the Window

 

This was creepy. We used to live next door to an old man and he would do in his front yard and just stare right at us with a pair of binoculars. Bold as brass. There was nothing to disguise what he was doing at all; it was as though it was perfectly normal. And, even though we could see him doing it and he knew we could see him, he still denied it.

My mom confronted him about it and told him it had to stop but he said we were lying. Then, one night we heard this noise coming from outside. So my mom pulled up the blind to see what was outside. And, we came face to face with the neighbor trying to stare right through our window.

58. Using Harry Potter as a Trap

I used to live with my family next door to this man. He always used to scare me a bit. He was always nice, but ina kind of fake overly nice way, and I never really trusted him. But everyone else used to think he was okay, they said he was nice. Then one day he was in his car and he was trying to be discreet.

He kept on asking me to get in and I was refusing. Then he started talking about how he had lots of Harry Potter stuff and that if get in the car I could have it. I said no, he was pretty persistent but at the same time he was trying not to let anyone else see what he was doing. Anyway, he ended up going to jail so thankfully he was no longer my neighbor after that terrifying incident.

59. The School Call

The next-door neighbors of my parents are awful, especially the wife because she is the loudest. A few years ago, when they had kids that were still in school the mum would go and sit in the car to wait for them. It was 6.30 am at this point, and did she sit silently, oh no. She used to beep her horn persistently until the kids would finally come out of the house ready.

My parents once asked if they would mind not making so much noise that early on as some people were still asleep. Did it work? Hell no. It made it 10 times worse. From then on it wasn’t only her that did it, the whole family continued. And not even that, the kids have long since left school and they still do it now every time they leave the driveway. Purely just to annoy us. That is some serious amount of pettiness.

60. The Neighbor’s Revenge

It all started in a fairly classic neighborly row kind of way – a fence. As the classic neighbor war goes, he put up a fence next door but extended it too far so that it was outside of his property. It was making pedestrians have to walk on the road because they could no longer fit properly onto the sidewalk. It was not good especially for parents walking with children etc.

So, my dad contacted the city council. And it definitely did not fix things. Well, the fence eventually got fixed but after that, the neighbor was on a revenge path. He put spotlight all over his garden which illuminated our rooms every single night. He connected his phone to a school bell which he hung outside his house so that every call he got, we would certainly know about it. Then we had a connected garage. When we were trying to sell our house, he painted it neon pink with neon green stripes along with it so that nobody ever would want to buy the house. And it turns out this guy ended up owning most of the properties on the block. He knew exactly what he was doing.

61. The Popular Neighbor

 

My old neighbor must have been very popular. Or at least kind of because he used to get so many visitors per night. He was a young guy, and when evening came I would hear the footsteps to his room like every hour a different person.

The weird thing was that they also all seemed to leave around 5 minutes later. Who knows what he was doing. But the constant footfall was pretty annoying after a while, day in day out. It wasn’t even as though I could complain about him having too many visitors because he wasn’t actually doing anything wrong.

62. Vacuuming the Driveway

I had a nighbor who was obsessed with cleaning. He definitely wasn’t the worst neighbor in the world by any means. But he was definitely a little bit odd. Some days I would hear the vacuum sound really close. So I looked outside and he was actually vacuuming his driveway.

Who does that? This guy must have been ultra clean. If his drive was that immaculate I would have loved to see what the inside of his house looked like. He didn’t think there was anything weird about it though, in fact, I think he secretly judged us for not vacuuming our driveway too.

63. Drunken Visitor

I used to have a neighbor that broke into my house in the middle of the night one time, completely drunk. They clearly didn’t know what they were doing. At the time we were all in our early 20s and he and his friend must have been in their late 20s maybe early 30s. lived in the flat below them at the time. One night, I hear all this noise and it wakes me up so I go and see what is happening.

Then, I find him passed out drunk in the closet of my hall way. He was lay there, holding on to an old pair of shoes. It was very hard to wake him up and he didn’t really seem to be sure what was happening. Maybe he didn’t even remember it because we never actually spoke about it again with each other.

64. Daylight Robbery

My wife and I purchased our first new house together around three years ago. When we were moving in, my new neighbors were sitting outside drinking on their front porch. I was bringing the last few boxes into the house from the van and then my neighbor came up to me.  He chatted generally and welcomed me to the neighborhood.

He also said how good my TV was. So around one week later me and my wife were about to go out for some dinner together. My new neighbor stopped me from getting in the car and he asked where I was going and how long I would be. This made me very cautious, why did he need to know? So, feeling suspicious I lied and told him I was only going to the nearest gas station and then I’d be straight home. Around just twenty-five minutes later I received a phone call from the police.  He’d literally gone straight over and tried to break in and get the TV. He’d cut his hand trying to climb through the window and then went around trying every door to check if something was open. He cut his hand on the window he was attempting to climb through and used his bleeding hand He's now on record in the police system.

65. Gas Thief

I had a house in my early twenties and I was very unlucky with my neighbor. Every night he’d go around the cars on the block trying to steal gas. And, I couldn’t leave anything outside of the house or he would steal it. Which, did unfortunately happen with a few things.

But thankfully nothing of too much importance. Everyone knew who it was so we would all be extra careful. Someone did confront him about it but it made no difference he never stopped doing it. And when someone called the police it was useful because we had no evidence of him doing it.

66. No Sense of Time

 

 

I used to have a neighbor a few years ago and he seemed to have absolutely no sense of time. The jobs that normal people would do in the afternoon, he seemed to do in the middle of the night. For example, using power tools. You’d think you would try and do it in the daytime rather than when people were sleeping.

But no, not him. He’d be chopping wood in his garden at 3 in the morning like it was totally ordinary. And, not just that he bought small trash can so that he would pay less to the local city. But he would fill it and then use ours for his extra trash. So we would then have to pay when ours overflowed. When you talk to him about it he either denies or refuses. Thankfully I no longer live next to him anymore.

67. Making the Dogs Bark

For some reason, my neighbor was set on getting me evicted. There was no reason for this, I wasn’t a troublesome neighbor and I wasn’t loud or anything like that. Even so, the guy didn’t like me – no idea why. So, he wanted me gone.

He would run-up to my door and bang on it so that my dogs would start barking. Because he was doing it so often it was becoming a noise nuisance. I knew exactly what he was doing so the next time I pretended I was going out I hid with my camera. Then I went around and showed him my video. He moved out around a month later.

68. A Violent Dog

 

We live in an apartment with our dog who is so chilled out and friendly, he’d never hurt a fly. But the guy down the hall has this little dog who is so aggressive and he tries to fight with the other dogs and turns really nasty and violent. But the guy still lets the dog out in the hall of the apartment or lets go of his leash whilst he is locking his apartment door. So of cou0rse when you leave the apartment and the dog is on the loose it will attack your dog.

This has happened multiple times. My dog doesn’t even react to it even though it’s so much bigger and stronger it could crush it if it wanted. So, my husband complained to the manager of the apartment buildings and the guy said the dog owner had actually already spoken to him about how he should manage his dog who is becoming more and more violent with other dogs. But the guy continued to let his dog loose despite the fact that he knows how bad it is.

69. Wind Chimes

I have a neighbor and he’s totally lovely (not the usual start to a horror neighbor story I know). He’s so nice to us and he watches our house for us when we are away, he has a gorgeous dog and he even bought fish and chips for us the day we moved into our house. In pretty much every way we couldn’t be luckier with our neighbor.

And he even deals with our repairs or parcels when we’re out at work for us. So why am I complaining? The only thing is, his garden is absolutely full of wind chimes. Not just a few oh no, about 100 of the things. It’s pretty incessant. With 100 wind chimes you can hear them even on a nonwindy day. I hear them all the time. Even in my sleep. There’s no escaping the sound.

70. Petty Thief

We have this neighbor and he steals little bits from us. Nothing major, just discreetly took things so that we won’t notice much. But we do. When we are asleep he takes wood from our woodpile to use in his fireplace. At first, we were wondering what was happening to all of our wood but then our neighbor from across the street told me what he is doing – they’d seen him in the act.

And then in summer when he doesn’t want the wood he chooses something else to steal. Then it’s our veg from the garden. He steals the products that we have grown, again, while we are sleeping. I’m definitely getting a security camera installed and then I can show him.

71. Faking Sickness

 

My neihbor was crazy. She used to leave all her mess outside, there would be trash on the flor and everything was such a mess. It was ruining the lok of our house because theirs was kept so poorly. But, she pretended to be sick with a terrible disease so of course we never complained. She actually used to go as far as acting and pretending she couldn’t walk properly. My mum started to tend her lawn for her and take her food now and then to help out with her and her daughter.

Then, ouor other neigjbor told us about her scam. So, my mum complained to her about her trash nlwoing all over our yard and asked if she could clean it up. The woman phoned the police and told her my mum had punched her. Thankfully we had CCTV footage. It also showed the mum throwing her yoouong daughter out of the house in the middle of the night and kicking her out.My mum tried to take the child insde who was beside herself, then the woman came out and soaked her with a  hose. She was sent to live with her dad after that.

72. Peekaboo

 

Our neighbour next door to my family home built this huge deck outside of his house, it was so big that it actually went over our garden. My parents told him he would have to make it smaller but he would not listen. In the end, they had to go to the local council to complain.

Then he was forced to make it smaller. We went out as a family and when we came back there was a load of cameras in his garden all facing our house. He had put a sign on the fence saying Peekaboo I can see you. How creepy Is that? My parents don’t live there any longer, they got divorced and both moved out of the house. So thankfully we no longer have to put up with our strange neighbour.

73. Picking on Grandma

My grandma passed away recently. She owned a laundromat. She hadn’t lived in the best part of time, but she’d never complained. It turns out thought that for years this family had been terrorising her. Spilling her trash can over the yard, stealing stuff, letting their dog poo on the grass… all sorts of stuff. It wasn’t even one of them it was the whole family picking on my grandma. Then, one day one of her long-term laundromat customers witnessed it.

He told my grandma to go inside, picked up the father by his neck, hung the little kid on a fence post and then smashed all of their car windows. The whole street witnessed it. The next day, the family of bullies moved out. My grandma has had no trouble since, not a single bit of bother. I was totally unaware that any of this had been going on until they told the story at her funeral. My grandma had been too proud to admit it but thankfully she’d had people on her side.

74. Annoying Kids

This mom moved onto the block with her two kids. They were really annoying. They were a couple of years younger than us. At the time we were around 13 and they must have been like 10. They used to chase us and swear at us and throw things at us.

Then, they would go and tell their mom that we were picking on them when it was actually the other way around. The mom would go crazy and start shouting at our parents at us. Then we’d find these handmade traps made out of nails on the field that they had put there. They were really strange. Luckily for us, they moved out not too long after.

75. Cigarette Burn

I used to be good friends with this girl who loved next door to me. We were around 10 and we were friends pretty much until the start of high school, even though she actually wasn’t even that nice to me. But I pitied her because her mom was clearly an alcoholic so I thought it was good that this girl has a good friend. One day I took my little brother with me to go and play in her yard with her.

He was 6 years old and he was autistic so he didn’t like to speak much. When we were going, he tripped up in the yard and her mum who had been asleep after drinking woke up to hear my little brother screaming. When she asked what was up and he didn’t answer back she used her cigarette to burn him on the arm.

76. Leaving Their Kid Behind

 

A few years ago, we had the worst neighbours, then they were getting kicked out because their mortgage had not been paid for about 8 months. So, they were being evicted from their house. A few weeks before they had to move out they were ripping out everything possible that they could sell, the oven, doors, bathroom fixtures absolutely everything they could.

In the end, there was nothing left because everything that could possibly have been sold had been sold. It finally came to moving day and the couple left, there was nothing left…nothing except, the dog, the cat, and their child.

77. Stalker

My old neighbour stalked me and my friend. From the first day when he first we had a bad feeling but there was no reason for it at that time just a kind of initial gut reaction. Then soon after, every time we left the door he would appear and try and hang out with us. Every single time he would be there without fail. We couldn’t even walk across the road to check our mail without him being there. And he’d stand outside our house staring and he even started to knock on the door at midnight.

Of course, we didn’t answer. Then it progressed and sometimes when we returned, we’d find him sitting in our garden waiting. Then he started to appear in the places we were going like the store and he’d follow us around town. It was super creepy. It got to the point that we hated going anywhere because we were scared and we knew he would be watching about to appear at any second.  We complained multiple times to our landlord and he had warned the guy so many times but it continued. If he hadn’t not paid his rent and been evicted, I think he’d still be doing it now.

78. Watching Us Sleep

My uncle had this neighbour, he lived in this apartment that was connected to the neighbours by the bathroom, which they shared.

She was crazy and some mornings they would wake up and she would be in their apartment. They found her their multiple times and she would be doing something weird. Then, one morning they woke up and she was stood over the bed. This was the last straw. They moved out straight after this horrifying incident.

79. Religious Ritual

 

I have these super, super religious neighbours. They hang up signs for the local church and have religious signs in their windows. But they kept putting their garbage cans in our driveway multiple times. It started out just as an inconvenience but it became worse and worse. They started to trespass on my property and damage my house.

While I knew it was them, I could never actually catch them doing it. So, I did the obvious thing. I put on a cloak, and created a circle of salt around my property, publicly. I started chanting and made it all seem like some kind of ritual. It was definitely a moment of madness now I come to think about it. But you know what, it worked. They never trespassed on my property again. In fact, they stayed away from me totally after that. I wonder why.

80. Gave Our Dog Away

 

We have a beautiful Pitbull/boxer cross and she was stolen from o0uor back yard by our neighbours who gave her away for adoption to this shelter. We searched and searched for weeks. We thought we’d have to give up but then my mom checked local adoption ads and we found our dog.

The shelter told us who had brought the dog in and it turned out to be our neighbours. When we got our dog back who we loved a lot, they kept trying to get her taken away. They would call the police and claim we were abusing her even though it was clear we loved her and treated her well. We were always playing together in the backyard.

81. Sounds Like a Banshee

 

My neighbour across the road is a single mum. Every day she screams at her kid’s nonstop, in a wailing banshee kind of manner. She’s constantly yelling at them calling them stupid.

Then, she let her kids have a motorbike that she lets them race up and down the street all day and all night so I have to listen to them constantly. Even when it is time to sleep. She’ll also drive across the road to her parent’s house she’s so lazy and the walls are paper thin so I hear every word. She’s pretty much driving me crazy. It sounds like I’m loving in the house with them it’s so loud.
