“Love your neighbor as yourself” is easy to say and hard to do. Some of us are fortunate enough to have lovely neighbors who bake us homemade pies and invite us over for a barbeque (don’t worry, they have plenty of veggies to grill if you’re vegan). The rest of us are… well, far less lucky in whom we live next to.

There are neighbors from heaven and then there are neighbors from hell. They play loud music at night. They take your parking spot. They make your life miserable. And sometimes they end up on the Neighbors From Hell Instagram page, dedicated to collecting the best of the worst neighbor experiences. Scroll down and check some of these stories out and don’t forget to upvote your fave ones. Let us know in the comments what the worst neighbors you’ve ever had were like and read on for some tips on how to deal with jerk neighbors.

If you want some more content about bad neighbors, we’ve got you covered. Check out Bored Panda’s post about the funniest passive-aggressive messages that neighbors have left each other.

Wish my neighbours kids only left things over the line by 3 inches. The cycle all the way around my family's cars on my drive and keep falling off.

Well both neighbours seem rude here. If you have to laugh, don't admit it!

If you know the walls are thin and you still yell loud enough for the neighbors to hear your conversation, why are you complaining that they heard your conversation?

I have heard my neighbor’s daughter-monster and her boyfriend-monster fight several times, after hours. They are loud as f**k and argue like someone was playing out the most tired & cliched “white trash couple” argument script. I know women participate in toxic masculinity, but I somehow was surprised to hear this young woman calling her own boyfriend “a little b***h”. Also, she generally sounds like an animal, making wooting, hooting, whooping noises, screams, and basically yells every other sentence she says. She baby-talks to, and makes animal noises at, her toddler daughter and I have this disgusting feeling of witnessing ignorant white trash programming its innocent offspring to be mindless animals just like the parents. It’s depressing on top of enraging.

I'm laughing at this and remembering the couple that lived in the apartment across the hall from me and my (then) husband when we were newlyweds. They were also newlyweds, and also both morticians. The apartment floor plans were exactly the same, just mirror images of each other - meaning the bedrooms were as far apart as they could possibly get - ours was on the west side of the building, theirs on the east - and there was a hallway between the apartments. We would routinely hear them make enough noise while having sex to "wake the dead", so to speak...and yes, given their occupations, we used that joke often. ;-)

A friend purse-dialed me and I listened to her and her boyfriend fight and then "make up." I never said anything, but she later mentioned that she saw the phone call was over 2 hours long. She said I blushed -- I said I was so envious and if she ever splits with him, I won't suspect it was his fault.

What I'm thinking is, if you can't stand your neighbor, then WITF do you have his cellphone number so you can text with him or her??!

If people argue constantly, they need help, or should split, life is too short, to be so unhappy !!!

When you have paper thin walls, you can't expect privacy. I learned that a LONG time ago.

The Neighbors From Hell IG community is 269k people strong and anyone can send them a submission. Send them a quick message if you’re enduring neighborly hell at the moment.

Dealing with bad neighbors is a delicate situation. You have to be diplomatic yet firm, tough but fair if you want to live peacefully. There are several different types of jerk neighbors. From racket makers and slobs to careless pet owners and worse.

Real estate expert Barbara Corcoran told Today that the best way to avoid bad neighbors is to spot them early. So if you’re planning on buying or renting a new property, have a drive around the neighborhood at night to see how people in the area behave like when the sun goes down. Also, have a chat with the local store owners about what the locals are like.

However, what are you supposed to do if you’re already living next to someone who’s making your daily life hard to bear?

ADVERTISEMENT

Well, the first step would be to set up a time to talk to your neighbor in person about what’s bothering you. The important thing is not to accuse them (people always get defensive when someone does that) but to let them know what’s bothering you and to suggest ways to solve the issue. Together.

Chances are a friendly chat or two might work. But if they don’t, talk to your local neighborhood or building association and ask them to step in. And if that doesn’t work and your neighbors continue to be aggressively disruptive, call your local precinct.

Drink it black next time you k**b. Though people should realise that the most experienced burglars know the places where you're likely to hide a key and those hide a key things really aren't that hidden.

I can sympathize with this one. Small talk can sometimes feel like torture, so I have resorted to hiding on the upper floor when someone was waiting by the elevator on the ground floor. No damage done to anyone, so why not?

Simple solution, remove their rear license plate and replace it with a sign "I need to learn to park.". The police will surely be interested and draw his attention to this message.

Problem of this approach is that THEY know where you live, and you don't know where they'll be living.

Wait, the blue balloons show that "Chelsea" is the person who sent this in & "The monster" is the supposed Neighbour-from-Hell?! I'm confused.

In my country it's actually illegal to make noise loud enough to bother your neighbours before 8am on weekdays and 10am on weekends.

Seems like Chloe from 1A finally had enough. It's quite amazing how some people think that rules never apply to them, even when they are warned.

Feel for both. Children want to learn to play and that's perfectly reasonable. Torture to listen to though. Had a singing coach living nearby and OML it was hell for a while. Now I have a neighbour with a son who isn't very committed to learning to play the drums - so at least it isn't very often or for very long!

Breaking in if you are not on the lease or mortgage is illegal. Don't know if s******g in someones bed is legal or not but it is absolutely disgusting.
