“You Live Next To Us And We Don’t Like You”: 30 Times People Had Funny, Weird Or Crazy Neighbors
You don’t need to be best friends with your neighbor. In fact, you don’t need to be friends at all. But nevertheless, while living in a community with others, we still have to get along on preferably as good terms as possible, because it’s easier and makes us all many times happier.
The truth is, this is not exactly what happens all the time. We often hear stories about neighbors that range from slightly weird, fun, quirky to notoriously difficult.
This parody Twitter account “Messed Up Nextdoor” is dedicated to sharing precisely such cases, when people who live right next to us never cease to surprise us.

Why Do Cats Hate Me?
While you don’t need to be BFFs with your neighbor, it doesn’t mean you should be enemies. Quite on the contrary, being on good and friendly terms with the people next door is something we should all take care of, no matter how sometimes challenging it may be.
At the same time, it often happens that we live right next to someone we’d much rather not. And if you have ever been in that situation, you know how nerve-wracking it can be. Whether it’s the loud neighbor with screaming moms, fighting spouses, horn honkers and tire-squealing drivers, loud music fanatics and late-night partiers, or property fanatics with neighbors trimming boundary trees and sending you the bill, the challenge is the same. How do you handle those lunatics?

If you’re already in a situation where avoiding living next to a nasty neighbor is too late, there are a few strategies to think of. First, you may want to call ahead and pick a time to talk with them. Meeting on the sidewalk or on the property line is the safest place. Second, try not be too accusing, instead let them know how much the problem bothers you and try to find a solution that would work for both of you.

If you are looking for ransom I can tell you I don't have money, but what I do have are a very particular set of skills. Skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you....
Also, make sure to do your homework and gather all information about local noise and disturbance ordinances. If you cannot meet the neighbor face to face, another option is writing a personal letter. It’s also smart to talk with other neighbors to see if they have experienced the same nuisance caused by the bad neighbor. If they are unhappy with the situation too, they may be happy to help you in finding a solution.

All Cops Are Buttholes
However, if you are on good terms with your neighbor, there's always a practical element that’s beneficial for both of you. When you’re away on vacation and something happens inside your home, you want your neighbor to be the one person to help out and tell you everything including taking care of the house. If you have pets that are especially important.
Sometimes it’s all about being kind for the sake of being kind, but other times we may genuinely develop a friendship with a person next door. If that happens, life just brought a friend living right next to you. And could you ask for more?
Arrest This Person
to be honest, it's kinda justified if the dog was barking nonstop at three a.m., otherwise yes nobody curses at the dogs
100% bring your dog in. Poor thing. My neighbor however (apartments) will yell shut the f**k up to my kids when they are playing in the backyard between 7-830 pm. We live in the California desert area and in the summer it's the most ideal time to go outside without getting heat stroke.
Load More Replies...I have a dog and I'm fully aware how annoying and maddening a dog can be when displaying uncontrolled barking. Why doesn't this OP realise that and do something about it? You'll never catch my dog barking uncontrollably EVER!!
Well.... My dog will bark uncontrollably sometimes. I try to control her and get her quiet again, but once she decides this other dog needs a talking-to, I can't really make her stop on the spot. I can put more distance between them and that usually works, but the BARK in itself is actualyl not controllable. *shrugs* But I would never let her stay outside and just bark without getting her back in and making the neighbors feel better.
Load More Replies...My parents lived next door to people who put their happy dog outside when they got fed up of it. What makes you think the neighbours want to hear it any more than you do?? Train your dogs!
Kath- I'm guessing you meant "yappy dog" not "happy dog." I'm like, who's getting fed up with happy dogs?? Lol.
Load More Replies...I yell off my balcony at my downstairs neighbor's yappy little dog to STFU at least 4 days a week (she leaves it alone in the back yard all day and i work from home sometimes). I would happily say it to the owners face if they asked me to, but so far all I've done is change my wifi names to "shut your f*****g dog up" and " Lucy barks all day" because I'm petty like that and I'm too introverted to go downstairs and complain to her directly. I like dogs but hate a lot of dog owners 🤷🏼♂️
Just wondering, what's the acceptable way to tell a dog to shut the f**k up?
It's like dealing with annoying kids... you don't tell the kid to STFU... you walk over and talk to their parents. And - just like with any parents - it has to be done tactfully so nobody takes offense... though the ignorant ones will still probably take offense and go TF off on you anyway. Oh well, you gave em' the benefit of a doubt. Still doing it? Just call animal control if it's due to neglect or the non-emergency police line if it's just an ongoing nuisance / noise violation. If the dogs don't have allergies, dog treat briberies are also a great way to convince the dogs to shut up on their own 😉 ... but yelling "shut up" at an unaccompanied dog is bound to generate an angry confrontational owner, regardless of how great an owner... especially if it's one that views their dog's as kids (like I do). Neglectful owners probably wouldn't even notice unless they're present, whereas mindful owners are always listening.
Load More Replies...Not always. My husband gets in heated work discussions on the phone (Union Bargaining Chair) and will pace in and out of the house for an hour or two on back to back calls (the man can't sit still on a phone call). He gets so fixated on the discussion that he doesn't always notice that the dogs followed him out or that they're even barking (whether he is still out there with them or not). When I am home, I catch it and bring them in... but I am sure it can also happen when I am at work. Our dogs are definitely spoiled and absolutely not neglected... but I'm sure that would be hard to tell if a neighbor is two or three doors down and they can't see my husband actively pacing in and out of the house.
Load More Replies...Be the peacemaker Sharon. Let that guy and your dog sniff each other's butts for a while so they can get to know each other, and then just watch as the hostility fades away!
If you lived in San Diego prior to six months ago, it was probably me. Yeah - I screamed that at least once a day, more for the owner's benefit than directed at the dog. Take that little f*cker in the house and let him bark at YOU for hours on end. WFH was SUCH a pleasant experience.
Instead of whining about what other people say, maybe be a better owner or re-home the dog. I say that to my neighbors dog all the time. The effing thing never STFU. I have to let my dogs back in all the time because their dog is always outside and never stops barking. I tested it once, thinking maybe she eventually calm down. Nope, after 30 minutes of non stop barking, I left my dogs in because I felt bad for doing that to the neighbors.
Presumptuous to assume the dog speaks English. Could be a Rottweiler or Doberman that speaks German, a French speaking poodle, or Spanish speaking Chihuahua.
Several different factors have to be considered. How loud, how often, how long? The noise is solidly on the person, though. Not the dog.
I found germen language works best. Just tell word granddad taught me. Some reason they run for cover.
I can see where the dog gets it's from. Sadly the husband is probably a nice bloke.
On a lighter note: a few years ago I put the carcass of the Thanksgiving turkey inside an empty paint bucket, put the lid on, and, late at night, put it at my side of the fence closest to the neighbors' living room (where their dog spends the night). The dog inside the the house had to listen to the racoons fighting over the bucket and its contents, and made its displeasure known by barking all night long - I saw their lights come on often and repeatedly.
The address says SO much about the mentality of the place. A golf club community, apparently, with 76 "luxurious estate homes, set amid lush fairways of a golfer’s paradise". There's a 202-acre golf club and, yet, still room for 15 different churches. The brochure gives me a whole Stepford Wives vibe, creepy, but maybe it's just me: https://cdn.tollbrothers.com/communities/4834/area_guide/area_guide.pdf
Dogs enjoy being cursed at. As long as you use a nice tone. It makes them feel part of the family. My cats are assholes my wife is a b***h and I am quite frequently a douche bag. My dogs are assholes and little bitches
"... needs to come to my house and speak to me" HA! Dream on! What I need to do is call animal control. Several times. If they refuse to fine you after my third complaint to them (like they foolishly tried to do once and ONLY once) the email about that refusal goes to EVERYBODY (i.e. the 'dog catcher' an elected position, the sheriff, the state representative for my district, and the congress person for my district). Don't ever even think about pissing me off again.
