Default Have you got good neighbours or do they annoy you?

Right there has to be some classic stories out there about your neighbors.

Mine; well I live in a cul-de-sac with another 12 houses and I've got it good, I really cant complain. Most acknowledge me when I say "hello" a good few of them will take time to chat,. A few are really decent and will pop in for a chat every now and again, cards & a bottle at Christmas time etc.

I've only had issues with one neighbor in the past and that was resolved pretty quickly.

Good, bad or indifferent lets be hearing your stories!

All of our neighbours have been here for years and are pretty much spot on. The only problem as such is the old biddy next door who can keep you talking for ages.

Gotta say my neighbours are quality!! Old folks either side, really sound people!

They dont car how loud I play my music (I make sure I ask them its cool too, they might not want to say owt) I grab them papers when Im at the shops etc, and they drop me the odd pack of chocolate biscuits in too, really nice people.

The young couple who moved in opposite are cunts though, never say hello, or even thanks when I jump started their cars, wankers

we had an old irish couple move in next door, the old family that lived there we got on with really well with but they passed away being old, but we though we would do the same with the new family, lol wrong,

first they tried to nick some of our garden with there new fence then again where there consevertory is they put a fence up so it was on our land so we couldn't see in, this was left because we didn't want to see them either, then the old fella was becoming senile and had a load of chickens witch he used to copy there noises really loudly in the summer, as well as the chickens attracting loads of flies in the summer when we was trying to sunbathe

then it all came to and argument outside the front of the house where word's was exchanged he threatened to pull his trousers down in front of my mom and my mom's fella proceeded to pin him up against the wall with his feet dangling in the air ,

then just pure hatred was released, like when i used to have my motorbikes, on many day's i'd have my mates drive past see me working on summit and stop by for a chat, then another would drive past and so on till there would be like 7 bikes on the drive, i mean there wasn't alot i could do, they would just drive past and fancy a chat but because a couple would sit on the brick wall by his side he put grease all over the wall so no one could sit on it any more.

but for some reason when there old man past away we have started to get on with them alot better, so now it's all peaceful it was quite hard trying to be nice the first couple of times, but think we are warming to them now

Old dear upstairs is as good as, my mate next door is sound, the other side downstairs are quiet and keep themselves to themselves but are a bit wired, and upstairs next door are OK. However, the cunt next door to them (ex drug addict don't work arsehole who beats his girlfriend up is a total wanker who we all hope will depart this earth very soon and give his missus and their kids half a chance in life.

at my old house the neighbours were police and were actually good with me, considering engines running at 3am when working late etc, the other ones we never spoke to in 13 years, so no issue with them.

new house, i go shooting with them, knew them before i moved to the house, and go off roading with them, they are my only neighbours, next house is 1/2 mile away

Only thing i have noticed as being an electrician by trade i get alot of the other not so well know neighbours coming and asking for favours ! i would'nt normally mind but after i have done it i never seem to see them for a while let alone speak ????

live in a very tight little street. my best bud lives directly opposite, get on with everyone on the street, say hello, bbq's, and all that. suppose they like me coz i deliver plant and when you level all the pot holes out at the end of the street kinda gets you some brownie points.

next door to my best mate across the road seemed to have a problem with me, in all honesty they shouldnt have a reason why, i dont speak to them, i think they are idiots so i just leave them to it.

my escort was parked where it is for a month, they still had good access on and off the drive and wasnt/shouldnt have been an issue but if it was they could of done what everyone else does on the street, knock on and ask for help/assistance. either way fromthe video the mum drags off her eoldist son to one side off camera, then he comes back on right up to my car, goes down the side of it and runs to her, she points and shouts somethin he goes back and does it again then when he done goes right back to his mum and hands back whatever he used to scratch my car! this is in the middle of a satarday, after the kids clear up toys and such she pretends to walk down her drive to have a look at the damage!

bad quality as i recorded it off telly when it happened and doesnt show everythin but will get dvd quality one up soon....

oh yeah they got away with it coz the kid said he did it off his own back and he was 9 year old. even tho the police clearly agreed she was putting him up to it.

all ok except the pikey cunts renting opposite, the house is now fucked and they are all jobless cunts, with 2 young kids.

still, not seent the guy about since mid december when we read in the paper that someone from our road was arrested for assulting a chap with MS, broke the window on his car, beat him up then stole his wallet. that was on abut the 15th dec, and it said in paper that 2 were held in custody till the 9th of jan to then appear in court.

not seent he cunt since so put 2 and 2 together lol.

also through talking to him i found out hes a scouser, and also been done for twoc, makes m happy about having the 3dr in the garage, but then at least he knows is doesnt run lol.

hopefully he should now be doing a stretch at her majitys pleasure lol.

other than that, there is some other cunt in the close a bit further down has had several blazing rows with his missus, and the thick cunt also cant operate a door key as every time he comes home, he pulls up outside the house and blasts on the horn, then gets out and bangs the door till his missus opens it

oh yeah, im also selling my house as i need a bigger one, if anyone is interested

all ours are ignorant cunt's.
I saved the old lady's life next door, so the neighbour on the other side said it was him to the filth and the ambulance people, i couldnt care less about that tbh. But he's a wanker, he doesnt like us and try's not to acknowledge that we are even there half the time, untill i shout 'hiya mate' then he has to
Had a chav move in and at first i thought he was dodgy but been talking to him more and more lately bout his car and ours and tbh he's doing his best for his bird and the kid's so fair play

Mine are sound, he seemed a little wary at first but after a couple of days he got to know me and are sound.

I do try and keep my distance as if you ever fall out, you can't get away they are next door lol but we help each other out all the time with odds and sods etc and mates to a degree.

The street luckily is pretty quiet and pretty decent so unlikey to get trogs moving in.

What made me laugh was that one guy up the street fixes cars, he has about 8 up and down the road. My mates dad lives around the corner in the next road but parks his works van at the side of his house, in our street and on occassion his sons also parks in the street (keep in mind that that end of the street has no houses and it is along side his own fence, entrance to his back garden/drive is on our street.

Some bloke opp me goes round and bangs his door telling him to shift he van as it aint on having all his car in the road - clearly to scared to tell my car fixer a few doors away to move hi 8 cars in case he got a smack in the face lol!!!

Couple one side of me are fine. Do some work on his car occasionally. Never have a problem there.

Family the other side are right arrogant a*******s though.

Kids used to try and do burnouts on the pavement outside @ 2am on their scooters, up until the time I took their keys off them whilst in the middle of trying and dropped them down the drain. Took another set @ the same time and told the little **** he could have his keys back in the morning when he apologised.

Once found one of the daughters crappy beat-up Megane parked IN the bumper of my Fiesta on the road one night. They woke up next morning to find an Astra Van parked in place of the Fiesta with its towbar IN their bumper.

They used to park across the driveway all the time as well, blocking us in or out. Military LandRover parked with a chain attached to the back of their car and a warning of 30 seconds to start moving it or I was going to put paid to them doing that.

Had a friend of theirs (one of the kids) once try to start an argument with me when I was trying to park my car on the drive. He didn't realise that I was putting down some new decking in the back garden and their trees had been chopped down a week earlier so there was no back wall. He walked out the back to find me standing there with a 12lb hammer, inviting him to continue our "conversation" so to speak. Apologised and never saw him again.

The kids were that bad that the old man left in the end. The wife used to try and argue with my other half, but won't dare say a word to me for some reason.

Best thing was when I got told to "**** off" as I had only just moved in and they had lived there for 10 years, so had more "rights". Upset them when one of the other neighbours told them that my grandparents had owned the house from new in 1932 and my old man had been born there

Generally, most of them know that I am ready for an argument if I am in the right, but will also help them out if they are stuck, so are okay with me.

I only got one proper nieghbour as im end terrace and ive never met them as they only there the odd day.

My street is mixed bunch really, some seem decent some of the terraces are full of CHAV cunts!! There was a big house full of CHAVs out the back opposite back of my house and they used to moan whenever i drove my car. My cars got standard FRP backbox so is hardly loud and I aint exactly revving it much to get in the garage so i guess it was jealousy they soon got evicted so the day they left I revved it with anti lag on to piss them off Most the nieghbours in the terrace row think my cars cool which suits me fine.

Mine are generally all pretty friendly.

I also live at the end of a small cul-de-sac. Over the past few years there have been a lot of younger families/young professionals who have moved into the street but are not very out-going. The older folk (pensioners) are great though, I'd often have conversations regarding my cars and thier cars with them.

my neighbours on one side are tossers, some of you will remember I ended up in the police station last year for fighting with him in my garden over the noise I was making whilst building my shed!

the other side have been there a year, he is a misrable fooker, but he works away a lot so don't see him much, his wife on the other hand says hello and is quite fit which is a bonus!

Not my neighbours

But a friend who used to be in 1 Para and used to box for the army and outside of the army had some little 17 year old cunt move in next door to him partying every night, doing drugs also bringing dealers back to the home..

So my mate went round and decked him, got cautioned, then went and did it another 2 times and got cautioned another 2 times .. I found it amusing anyway

I've gotta be honest mine are fine. The ones on the left who we aint joined to are ok, he's a washing machine repair man and as friendly as you like, shes a deputy head mistress and a frosty cunt, she never speaks, but thats fine with me. The ones on our right who were joined to (semi detached) are similar ages to us, they have 2 kids the same ages as ours, are bang on. Me and him go for a beer a couple of times a month and the women socialise together (tbh, i'd kick her back doors in but thats a bit too close to home!)

They never complain about the cars either, in fact a mate of mine services their cars on my drive from time to time, so all is good!

Only downside, cos the lawns are joined at the front, in the summer the kids play on it so much , it goes bald, but thats cool by me! lol

Judging by some of your posts, we're more than lucky!

I would need to make an effort to see mine so we only speak if we meet whilst out walking etc. Both sides are retired like myself & one of them lives in sunnier climes for 4 months a year, I am trusted with the key & her alarm overide etc. The other guy retired at 55 & plays golf most days we rarely speak cos we are well screened. Never had a problem with either they are just perfect really.

I've got an eastern European family next to me, apart from the shite music they listen I don't have a problem...that changes when the lasses mother stops over though, she's always pissed and can't talk without shouting. A couple of times she's been out on the street at 2 am singing and screaming at her husband. Had one of the daft f**kers reverse into my car then try and drive off as if nothing happened
