While I consider myself a mild man, I am like every other man in that I have limits.

And listening to the 90th run of "Johnny be good" played badly on the Ukelele by my next door neighbour is so far past my limitations!


So my question to you dear deviants, is have you ever had your buttons pressed by a next door neighbour, what did they do and how did you resolve it?






I should also add in that I am not prepared to help anyone move any dead bodies.

Retaliatory music that's gloriously annoying, when she finally puts the ukelele down. I don't know if you have a disturbing the peace curfew where you live but shutting it off at precisely that moment might drive the nail down harder.....

My neighbors are downright losers and worse. My evil eye is pretty spectacular at communicating displeasure.

Every person I've lived next to has either been a whore, an annoying weird-ass, or both on either side of me. (I live in a dormitory.)

I just have six more months and I never have to live on campus again.

At my apartment I had the landlord from hell. Outlets that would work one day, then the next not and the same with light fixtures. Heating and air conditioning that would never work when you needed it. When you put in a work order he would charge over 100 bucks on average for the repair that was "our fault" for shorting the wires our blowing the breaker which was bullshit. And then he claimed I never paid my rent, which was also bullshit because I looked at my account and saw he accepted my check.

My current neighbor right across the hall from me is an electrician. Every time his outlets didn't work he fixed them himself. And it was always the same wire. My neighbor who refused to pay a nickel to my landlord accused him of sabotaging the building and a variety of other safety violations. Nothing happened afterwards until I moved out. I then later saw a huge expose on the Seattle Weekly about the landlord and his crafty ways to over charge everyone who lived in the building.

My neighbour's house smells like duck shit (no actually, it does). I can smell it when I go to hang out the washing in the morning :dead:

At least she doesn't feed them at five in the morning anymore :grump:

I have yet to resolve the matter of course :|
The-Build's avatar
You could always sit out there with a gun, there's good eating on a duck.
ethanoI's avatar
It's probably a better use than having the neighbour feed them :shrug:
The-Build's avatar
Damn right it is.

My neighbours walk their dogs in our backyard because they think it's just a random area of trees. :stare: 3 acres of land and it looks like a bloody forest. The other day I shouted "GO GET MY RIFLE!" and they never came back again. :dummy:

I can see why, not a bluff worth calling.

I've never had annoying neighbours. There was once this couple who would play on guitar and sing, loudly and badly, a tango song, butchering it. But that only made my brother and I giggle =P

And one of my actual neighbours sometimes has sex and when she's about to finish she TURNS UP THE VOLUME and we can all hear her. I wonder if she realizes this...
The-Build's avatar
Lols, you should go and say something, that will shut her up.


Also did you get my card yet, I found a really rude one? :aww:

No way! I would never ruin her fun :lol:


No :/

Well, our neighbors tried to sabotage our new driveway by digging underneath it and running a garden hose under it to make it look like rain damage. Good thing we had security cameras installed.
The-Build's avatar
Did it go to court?
qwepoirtqoewiutyoqwe's avatar
Yes, and the case was thrown out because our lawyer fucked up.
The-Build's avatar
Wonderful!

I'm assuming you don't live near them now.
qwepoirtqoewiutyoqwe's avatar
Eh, so-so. The house was a vacation home my step-dad had, so we never really lived there to begin with. Hence the security cameras, for while we were gone.
Astralseed's avatar
Well, you know all too well my frustrations with my previous neighbors.. Before things became insanely ridiculous with them though.. when they were merely trying to tell me how to parent my children and denying us heat while it was below freezing outside.. I went downstairs and got in their face demanding they knock it off etc.. it seemed to have resolved things for a short while, I think they were afraid of me or something since the bitch kept repeating over and over to me that she was not afraid of me (even though I never said or did anything to imply she needed to be aside from get in her space and use a stern voice while doing so).  
The-Build's avatar
It sounded like a royal pain but at least you got shot of them.

My neighbor was bigger than everyone else on the block, and tried to bully people. He tried that on me years back and I kicked his ass. He stopped messing with people shortly after.
LeapingLela's avatar
Sounds like the plot to the movie Friday.
KoutaTheCreator's avatar
:lmao: It does now that you mention it.
The-Build's avatar
Sounds bizarre, never understood why some people try to use size as a means to assert authority.
KoutaTheCreator's avatar
:lol: Yeah. It worked for him too, until he messed with me. He was like 4 times my size and I just punched him up then smacked him with a giant tree branch. He tried to try me again later by using his size against me. I smacked him with a giant bored with rusty nails in it.

All that was revenge for him smacking me with a brick first. :nod:

My neighbour broke into my house once, and I smacked her with a length of wood. She was charged with burglary, and me for ABH with intent to endanger life. Once I got out of the police station I got a few friends together and went and ransacked her house.

Never heard anything back from her again.
The-Build's avatar
Dare I ask what started this whole thing?
KSXZT's avatar
She wanted my supply of heroin, apparently. :innocent:

They chopped down my plum trees and eviscerated my hedge.
The-Build's avatar
Any reason why or are they just wankers?
Bullet-Magnet's avatar
They wanted to make room to drive their cars up to their house and said they were obstructing their access. Even though it is not actually their drive and is in fact a public footpath that you aren't technically allowed to drive on at all anyway, and the other residents down there had no problem with their own cars.
The-Build's avatar
Did anything else come out of this incident or did it just stay there?
Bullet-Magnet's avatar
We stopped being friends.
Bullet-Magnet's avatar
It was pretty cheap. They waited for us to go abroad before they did it.

When I was a little child the neighbor killed my dog. But I was too young to remember it. Other than that, so far so good. But we've only lived here slightly more than a month. :paranoid:

You should hunt him down to cut off a different toe and finger each night he sleeps.

My neighbour occasionally thinks it's a good idea to try drilling through the wall right next to my bedroom. :|
Astralseed's avatar
Trying to make a peephole? 
Vanhir's avatar
Possibly... Worse.
The-Build's avatar
I suppose if the noise wasn't enough you also have the fear of a drill bit popping through it too.
Vanhir's avatar
I'm considering taking hundreds of photos of my eyes and taping them all around my room facing the wall so that if they drill through it, they'll see me watching 'em.
The-Build's avatar
That could work, you never know, he might slip and drill through his foot.
Vanhir's avatar
Oh, I'm counting on it.

:iconspongebobseesplz: But the Ukelele is the primary instrument used in the background music of so many Spongebob episodes.

Hmm, worst neighbours we ever had was when we were living in housing commission (or a public housing estate as a more general term) Basically it's where all the poor people and deadbeats end up because they can't afford to rent or buy a proper house. And we were very poor for a few years :( But we tried not to let living in a shitty area be too much of an influence. But that was hard when you have a community of racist minorities dominating your street who were pissed that a white family moved in :roll: Thei rotten teenage kids especially would frequently trespass on our property, once even casually opening the gate to get in our backyard and start playing with our stuff as if it was their own. They threw rocks at our car, they threw a piece of scrap metal at my cat I had at the time and injured his leg, and I wouldn't be surprised if they tried several more times and just missed :disbelief: And once the older teenagers and their friends even threatened us. Yes - after that I can say from experience and not just assumption that poor neighbourhoods suck ass. In those places - if your neighbours aren't a bunch of violent brats with parents who will slaughter you if you dare question their feral kid's behaviour, then they are likely a charming collection of drug addicts and dead beats who let their lawns grow ten feet tall and toss their old furniture onto yours. These people deserve to be living in shitholes if that's their attitude towards society, work, and themselves :thumsbdown: Thank God my stay was just a couple of years.
The-Build's avatar
A couple of years is a long time when you're a kid though.
Chromattix's avatar
Definitely true. Well I wasn't a "kid" I was around 12-15 in my years there. Still - early teens is a very impressionable and significant age where what goes on around you matters a lot :nod:

My Ex-roommates used to make love in a noisy way while i was trying to sleep. So one night I knocked their door and asked to join them in a 3-some. They freaked out, and moved one week later :bucktooth:

They were a young attractive couple, so bad they were not open minded :eyes:

In your case you should send a love letter to your neighbor, tell him how much you enjoy listening his ukulele, while touching yourself :eyes:
The-Build's avatar
*tell her.

Not a bad idea, although her bed makes a lot of noise too, but thankfully her cardigan wearing boyfriend lasts on average 10 minutes or less and runs out of steam about half way through.

And kudos to you, shame you didn't get your leg over.
