Being a good neighbor to the people you live next to isn’t difficult. It’s being mindful of the noise levels, respecting their boundaries and privacy, and keeping your property tidy – all of which are expected from any sensible member of society. 

But for some people, being neighborly seems impossible. They’re the ones who would block driveways, leave trash behind, and just be an inconsiderate fool all around. It’s the kind of behavior exposed in the following photos on this list. 

If you haven’t had the awful experience of having a neighbor from hell, lucky you. Here’s what it looks like.

POV Your Neighbors Decide To Paint Their House The Color Of God

Dimly lit room with a covered chair and bright window glare, illustrating neighbors that would make you move to nowhere.

Neighbors painted their house some sort of reflective white color. Unless I close my blinds, I wake up to this every morning and it persists until sunset.

    My Neighbours Disgusting Habit Of Keeping His Trash In The Hallway. Today Featuring A Bag Full Of Used Diapers

    Large cardboard box and plastic bags filled with items, depicting unusual neighbors that might make you move to the middle of nowhere.

    Sometimes, having a problematic neighbor is almost inevitable. You have a starkly different view of what is acceptable and what isn’t, which may be a source of friction. And unless the problem has gotten to the point of destructiveness, moving away isn’t a practical solution. 

    Learning how to handle troublesome neighbors would be your next best bet. And in an article for Psychology Today, evolutionary psychologist Nigel Barber outlined a few ways to do this, along with potential drawbacks.

    According to Barber, avoidance is one path to take, and it’s self-explanatory. It’s as simple as steering clear of the neighbor in question. However, it’s merely a band-aid solution that may cause more problems. 

    “Conflict among neighbors often has a fairly trivial pretext, but escalates if the irritant is not resolved,” Barber said.

    Negotiation is another way to handle a troublesome neighbor. On the surface, it seems like the diplomatic and proper approach. But as Barber pointed out, it may not work with an unreasonable person. 

    “Who wouldn't love their dog, who nevertheless is a chronic barker and whines all day while the owner is away? If the owners deny that there is a problem, it cannot be remedied,” he wrote.

    Came Back From Camping To Find My Neighbor Moved Their Mailbox Onto My Property Without Asking And Knocked Over Mine

    Damaged and knocked-over mailbox in a rural area representing neighbors that would make you move to the middle of nowhere.

    A contractor truck backed into my mailbox because the driver apparently really needed to use the port-a-potty nearby.

    Then with my mailbox on the ground, the neighbor comes over, digs a hole, pours some concrete, and moves their mailbox onto my yard.

    I talked to the mail carrier and he said they asked him if they could move their box and he said he "didn't have a problem with it", but they didn't ask me the property owner and he was surprised they didn't. I would have suggested going halfsies on a thicker post and just putting both our boxes on it because I gotta redo mine anyway.

    I'm mostly upset because they didn't bother asking. Now if I get mad, what's the point? They've already poured the concrete and I still have to replace my box and pole.

    New Neighbors Won't Stop Pouring Grease Down The Drains

    Kitchen sink filled with dirty, murky water representing neighbors that make you want to move to the middle of nowhere.

    This is the second time this has happened. Whenever they pour grease down the drain, it clogs the drains of everyone downstairs and fills our sinks with dirty, slimy, greasy water we have to bail out or have all over the floor. One neighbor confronted them, and of course they denied it was them doing it.

    The management company had to work on the drains for weeks last time it happened to clear the clog. They warned us if it happened again, there would be a rent increase for everyone to cover the damages.

    If the issue escalates to a point where one neighbor may take legal action, Barber says it also has its fair share of headaches. He described such actions as “stepping into a minefield of unanticipated consequences.” 

    “The fallout extends from getting turned in if their sidewalk is not shoveled in winter to being cited for minor infringements in city building ordinances, or even having a home extension challenged for code violation,” Barber wrote.

    Neighbour Stole Our Hellow Fresh Box Again And Denies It

    Person holding a HelloFresh box outdoors near a wooden fence and suburban houses in a quiet neighborhood.

    I got my notification that my hello fresh box was delivered. And it wasn't.

    I checked the photo and it's obviously not my house but it's next door. This is not uncommon unfortunately as my place is quite new so the maps haven't been updated and couriers get confused.

    Obviously this lady is wearing all blue with blue nail polish took my box so I went to her house and asked her and guess what, she denies it! She said she didn't receive anything! She's even wearing the same outfit. I showed her the photo and she said it's not her.

    I explained to hello fresh and they are issuing me a full refund and advised the delivery to make sure it won't happen again, but this always happens and our stuff always gets stolen.

    Neighbor Moved A Rotting Mobile Home Next To Our Property Fence

    I own 20 acres in East Texas. On one side of my property I planned on building my dream tiny home in a meadow. The new neighbor that recently bought the property next to me with a beautiful home on it already just moved a rotting, dilapidated mobile home on the side of his property next to our adjoining barbed wire fence.

    My dream of a tiny home in the meadow is now over. I’m distraught that my retirement dream is gone. The barbed wire fence is along my road/driveway back to my meadow. I can’t look at that rotting garbage.

    This Letter I Get From My Neighbors On The First Day Of Summer Vacation

    In Cyprus there is a new law where all non-private beaches are government owned, and dogs are allowed to walk there.

    The beach in front of our summer house is one of those beaches, but unfortunately our elderly neighbors don’t seem to bother to look at the law when it’s not convenient for them.

    Needless to say, I’ll continue taking them to the beach, and if they actually follow through with their threats, I’d love to see them fined for wasting police resources.

    My Neighbor Keeps Burning Trash In His Back Yard

    Backyard with a hanging swing and a wooden fence, showing a surprising fire flame in the middle of nowhere neighbors.

    I’ve been dealing with this for about 3 years now. But this is the first time I walked out and saw an 8-foot flame, 2 feet away from his fence line and a few more away from mine. He was nowhere to be found; the fire was left unattended. I could feel the heat on the other side of my fence. After taking this photo, it grew wider and taller. This time I called the fire department and turned my sprinkler on.

    The smell often seeps into my home because I leave my kitchen window open and have no clue when he will start a trash fire. My couch and rugs permanently smell like smoke. He’d ignore my calls and text messages, and attempting to talk in person, he would change the subject. He and his 3 kids also chain-smoke, and when I say all day, I’m not exaggerating. It’s impossible for me to enjoy my backyard.

    Found Out Neighbor Is Running “Business” Using My Stuff

    Outdoor electrical outlet with a tangled extension cord on house siding near a window in a remote neighbor setting

    Have an upstairs neighbor who is the worst in so many ways. Recently it seems he’s out of work because he’s home all day and night watching loud TV and gaming. I was finally off work on Friday and heard a weird sound that ended up being a shop vac and other tools being run. It was annoying, but I figured neighbors were cleaning their car. He was, but it was a strange vehicle, and he was out there for hours, obviously detailing. Turns out he’s got different customers each day.

    I mentioned this to my sister, and she asked if he was using my electricity, so I went out to check—yes, he was. The ex-husband left some stuff, including the extension cord for the pickup during winter. The neighbor upstairs helped himself to the cord but also to not paying for the power to run it. My contract says we are not allowed to run a business out of this complex but I feel bad snitching.

    Originally this psycho neighbor walked their dog on our property and yelled at us in some random language. She only stopped when we threatened to call the police. Now she’s in the neighbors' yard, and I got some video. Only when she crosses the fence is when she would be on our property, and I would have to call the police. The only reason I’m not notifying the neighbors is because they also have like 5 dogs that bark constantly. And they only cared when I threatened to send audio recordings to the HOA.

    Narrow gap between houses with construction scaffolding and limited outdoor space in a neighborhood setting.

    Our neighbor tried to claim hardship to build what she wanted and ignore the code. When that didn't work, she sued the borough to get what she wanted. The borough passed it under illegal circumstances. Now it's in county court. She decided to go ahead and build anyway. She's hoping they won't make her tear it down. This is her house being built less than 10 feet away from ours. That's how close the house is to ours.

    Also look into holding borough accountable

    Neighbour Throws Bones Over The Fence Into Our Yard

    Partially eaten fruit core held with a napkin in a modern kitchen setting, unusual neighbor causing surprise.

    For years, our backyard neighbours have been throwing uncooked bones over the fence. I have a dog who then brings the bones inside. I have no idea which backyard neighbour it is as we are connected to a few, I have asked around but none confessed to it.

    Maybe your dog barks from anxiety or boredom when you are not home and the neighbour is trying to help.

    Neighbor Keeps Putting Sandbags Across Sidewalk

    Concrete barrier made of sandbags blocking driveway in a residential area with a private property sign at night.

    So this is the new form of blocking the sidewalk. It crosses the entire sidewalk causing a tripping hazard to anyone who using the sidewalk.

    I’ve called the village to complain about the bags and they sent the police out a couple times to have them removed but they keep getting put back each time it rains.

    Not sure what else to try to do. Talking to him is not a good idea because he and we do not get along and it will lead nowhere just as it has in the past.

    Dump them back on their property. Too bad if the bags tear.

    Check with your town. Many places have ordinances that regulate where trailers like this can be legally parked. Here, one this size would have to be parked in the backyard.

    Neighbour Put Wind Chimes On Her House Right Next To My Bedroom Window

    Two neighboring houses separated by a brick wall, illustrating unusual neighbors that make you move to the middle of nowhere.

    I guess my neighbour, who is very elderly and deaf, got wind chimes for Christmas because I woke up to the sound of them jingling all night. I like to sleep with my window open and they kept me up last night. I understand I'll just have to politely ask her to change where she hangs them, but it's still irritating.

    As neighbor complaints go, this one is incredibly benign.

    Went Away For A Month, Neighbour Mowed Our Lawn Without Asking. Destroyed The Grass And Broke The Lawnmower

    Small backyard with patchy grass, flower bed, and garden hose, a neighborly scene that makes you want to move to the middle of nowhere.

    Neighbour kindly offered to water our garden while we were away - very appreciative to have him keep an eye on things for us. However he then took it upon himself to mow both our front and back lawns without asking first 3 weeks into us being away, so at that point the lawn was massively overgrown. Looks like he didn’t raise the blades to accommodate for the long grass and has now massively stressed our lawn after we spent so long trying to keep it healthy. Also broke our lawnmower in doing so.
