“Love thy neighbor” is disastrously difficult to do when your neighbor is driving you insane. Oh, it’s all very good and well to preach about how we should all get along and how communication solves everything… until your next-door neighbor starts digging up the flowers in your garden or sticking nails into people’s car tires at night.

Those are but a taste of the stories that Reddit users shared with redditor Oilpaintroses who asked them to share tales about their ‘crazy’ neighbors. Some of these are a tad quirky. Others could lead to some major arguments in the neighborhood. While a few are simply neighbors from hell and we’re surprised that the redditors living next to them haven’t moved away yet.

Check out some of the best bizarre-o neighbor tales below, upvote the ones that intrigued you the most, and if you’re feeling up to it, share the crazy things that your own neighbors have done, dear Readers.

The author of the thread, redditor Oilpaintroses, told Bored Panda that they’re shocked about how much their post blew up. “My neighbors were yelling at each other as usual and, as a sort of way to vent, I posted the question. I knew there are plenty of bad neighbors in the world, but it still surprised me how it blew up. It ranged from petty drama to straight-up crimes,” they said. Read on for the rest of the interview and for the redditor’s tale about their own neighbors from the ninth circle of hell.

30 People Share Stories Of How Their "Crazy Neighbor" Earned That Name He eats my flowers.

In his defense, he told us that he has been doing it for years when he introduced himself after we bought the house. He also brought over frozen cookies in a plastic bag, as a housewarming gift, but wasn't sure what was in them. We share a side yard and as he was talking to us, I noticed his all brick house, was actually roofing shingles, layered to look like brick. It started to register that he may be a little out there.
He's a great neighbor. Just an older, eccentric stoner who keeps to himself and eats my flowers. No shame. Comes over to my yard, and eats my lillie's raw, or brings scissors and clips the heads to 'boil and make jam'. It's crazy to me, but we have embraced it. I planted a couple raspberry, blackberry, and blueberry bushes 3 years ago, when we first moved in, on the side yard we share. As well as a few knock out rose bushes. I told him to help himself to berries/roses anytime, especially before the birds do. The bushes have all gone insane and the entire side of my house is now a yearly buffet for my neighbor. Having a decent relationship with a crazy guy I share a property line with, is worth some deadheaded flowers.

30 People Share Stories Of How Their "Crazy Neighbor" Earned That Name My parents next door neighbor Nancy. Started with the "no trespassing" sign in the backyard that faces our yard and nothing else. Set up a motion activated flood light that faces the side of our house and nothing else. She stabbed our ball when it landed in her yard when we were children. Called the cops on the neighbors because "their dog barked constantly" despite them not owning a dog. Thinks my mother (the sweetest person you can meet in this world) is a backstabbing traitor for warning the new neighbors not to let their kids play on Nancy's lawn. Verbally assaulted me for chasing deer out of our flower garden, etc. But the true "phycho moment" came with the trees.

We have large trees along the property line (just barely on our side) and she was starting to go all psycho about the tree is gonna fall and crush her house and demanded it be cut down. We consulted an arborist who said it did not but could use a trim that would make it impossible to fall on her yard at all. The entire time they were trimming she stalked the property line and screamed if anyone stepped over it. While this trim was happening a single stick fell on her lawn. She lost it. Threatened to call the cops, told them they better have all their licenses up to date, etc. Arborists tried to blow her off but my mom insisted they check. Sent someone to City Hall and renewed their license. 30 min after that a cop showed up to check as Nancy had called them. Arborists were super thankful for my mom warning them.

According to redditor Oilpaintroses, a good way to avoid ‘crazy’ is to live in a remote area with as few people nearby as possible. “That’s my personal dream,” they revealed to Bored Panda.

The redditor also opened up to us about their horrendous upstairs neighbor and her family who had been driving them insane over years and years. “My upstairs neighbor is a neurotic, untreated OCD widow with 5 asshole sons that fought constantly at ungodly hours and disrupted my sleep all my childhood,” they said.

Despite what I said earlier, communication—or rather good communication—is at the core of solving most neighborly disputes. And, if we’re being honest, communication helps solve most disputes to do with people anywhere.

The point is to be polite but firm, have a clear understanding of where both parties stand, and look for a way to compromise and find a way out of the mess. Starting things out on a diplomatic footing is better than activating your dastardly neighbor’s full-on defensive mode from the get-go.

The Today Show explains that some of the very worst offenders in your neighborhood are likely to include racket makers (from those who love pumping loud music at all hours of the day to fighting couples), property line fanatics eyeing your tree branches growing above their fences, and slobs who hate tidying up.

The best cure for bad neighbors is not living next to them at all. So if you’re looking to buy or rent a new home, you should check out the neighborhood. Send out some feelers and listen to what the word on the grapevine is about some of the more colorful characters on the block.

Used to live in a little town of 300 people where we had an elderly neighbor named Gladys. She would routinely look near our garbage can outside and take the recyclable bottles and cans we would leave for her.

After we cleaned out a fish tank, we put the gravel and fake plants in a bag and left it on top of the garbage can because it was already full.

About a week later, Gladys hollered at me while I was outside to come over as she wanted to show me something. She had taken that bag we had left and planted the fake plants along the side of her house. She said she wasn’t real confident that they would make it but so far they seemed to be thriving! I could only nod and compliment her on her green thumb.

Today suggests that something you really should do before you move in is to have a drive around the neighborhood at night to see what the area looks like during a different time of day. You might spot some issues that would never have come up during the day. Furthermore, you should consider talking to the local store owners for any gossip.

She calls the city on everything. Ever walk out, look at your yard and think, "Yep. I need to mow this weekend." That is the point where my neighbor will call the city and complain that my lawn is too long. If I park on the street she will call the cops and complain that my car is an abandoned vehicle (even though it has current tags and is parked in front of the house it's registered to). The cops got tired of dealing with her and told me I need to park in my driveway and that I cannot park in the street or they'll tow my vehicle. If she sees my dogs outside she calls animal control and claims they're being neglected and abused. She is currently going around the neighborhood telling people that I am poisoning her cats (which I'm apparently doing a horrible job of since the cats are healthy and very much still around). She is a truly awful person who is very much mentally unstable. She doesn't just do this to me though. Other neighbors on the block complain about the exact same thing.

If communication doesn’t help and the situation keeps getting worse, consider calling the police or even taking your neighbors to court. It’s not the nice way to go about things but some neighbors left ‘nice’ years and years ago.

This woman lived next to us who needed to have the police called on her at least once a week.

She would scream at her roommate at all hours of the night, go into a drunken and sometimes drug-filled stupor, and scream at us while tripping out as we sat in our backyard.

More than once I had to kick her out of our home because she walked in unannounced, beer in hand and drunk as ever.

One time I called the police because she was screaming about killing someone and rolling around on her front lawn.

Another time I received a call at work (one in the morning as I work third shift). My gf informed me they had to evacuate the house because the neighbor's garage was on fire. Turned out either she or her roommate had done it while doing drugs or smoking in the garage.

She ended up moving away but would still walk to our house to ask for our lawnmower. She was not happy when I told her to get off my porch.

This older lady lives across the street from me and she is OBSESSED with leaves falling on her lawn. To the point that she will come out of her house and pick up one individual leaf off the grass in the fall (or any other time). She spends hours a day outside with the leaf-blower in fall.

She will go and knock on other neighbors' doors if she thinks you have too many leaves on your grass. She'll come over into your yard and do it yourself herself if you're not home.

What I think is weird is that she's in her 70s, no kids or grandkids living with her, and lives alone in a pretty large 4 bedroom house with an amazing in-ground pool in the backyard (with a slide and diving board and everything). Nobody has used that pool in at least 5 years yet she opens it up every summer.

Somehow she likes my family and has never once yelled at us about our leaves and randomly brings things over like half-eaten gallons of ice cream and ask if we want it because she's not using it. ???

The neighbour behind us had a leak in his water pipe and, rather than fix it, he just had the sump pump drain it out into the back yard. This meant that all year round the back of our yard was a little bit damp.

Eventually, the leaky pipe burst and filled the house with five feet of water. His solution to this was just to keep the pump running and flood the entire neighbourhood. After about an hour, a posse of all the neighbours whose yards were being flooded confronted him and called the city to shut off the water.

The city fixed the water pipe and the neighbour ended up with a large fine. At least my yard stays basically dry now.

I should also mention that this neighbour once rented the house out to a bunch of crackheads and it nearly burned down because the ex-girlfriend of one of these morons snuck in and set the house on fire.

Ours is the classic retired old man, terrible health and literally nothing going on in his life. He's not married, and I try to stay out of everyone's business, but I don't believe he has any kids. Rarely has visitors.

I think he had a dream once of being a police officer but never quite made it. So he's taken it upon himself to be the neighborhood police person. He spies on everyone and makes it his business to know everything.

My "favorite" encounter was catching him literally camping out in my front yard bushes early morning, spying on neighbours a few doors down. He had a coffee mug, note pad, blanket... literally just hanging out in my front yard making notes about the weird folks who were likely doing drugs at home.

When I asked him what he was doing, he just didn't seem to understand that it was inappropriate. He seems to like us so it's nice, I guess, but he creeps me out.

I used to rent the basement apt of the neighborhood crazy lady.

Her car was decorated with thousands of rocks that she glued all over it. The property was incredibly overgrown. She had 5 unlicensed dogs, 2 cats, turtles that lived in her bathtub, pigeons, chickens, a rooster and more animals that I can't specifically remember but I do remember counting them all up she had something like 17 animals upstairs. She'd regularly practice saxaphone while the dogs howled along with her.

She didn't have a job and spent everyday going on craigslist free and picking things up. There was a room in the basement where she kept all of the stuff that was 3-4 feet deep and completely packed. I remember a cardboard stand up of Captain Kirk and one of the statue of liberty sticking out of the horde.

I desperately took a job as a door to door solicitor for a short time and was randomly assigned to my neighborhood. When I introduced myself to the next door neighbor and said what house I lived in they were about ready to wring my neck haha.
