People Are Sharing Their Examples Of ‘Neighbors From Hell’ On This Instagram Page (30 Pics)
“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.

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.

Was "awkward mine is down too it must be a widespread problem" so hard to type?!

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?

If you don't want other people to feed your cat, you keep your cat inside your home. Simple.
CParks 5 years ago
Agreed! Why is it any different from owning a dog? I have a cat, love him, and therefore keep him safe.

My parents recently had to bring their cat (a stray (VERY STRAY, fleas and skinny and all) ginger tabby) to the vet a couple of weeks ago, for the first time since they've had him (for 6 or 7 years). Turns out he has a registered chip and actually lived around the corner XD And his name was Jimmy. However, the house he apparently used to live was empty, shades closed, no one there (my mom went there like 4 times). And when he first came to us, he was extremely shy and skittish and traumatized, took us years to gain his trust. He had never seen a tv, was truly mesmerized by it. So I'm happy he's with us and not with that person around the corner...
Carrie de Luka 5 years ago
Raised a query in my head! Not sure we would be allowed to be told the details of the original owners in the UK due to data protection regulations 🤔. Think the vet would have to keep the animal and check into the original owners. Then only release to a potential new owner when sure the old one was no longer around, available or wanted the animal or if they were abusive. Don't think they could share the name and address with the person bringing in the poor animal at all. Lucky you didn't have that problem.

I hope the cat is microchipped with the real owner’s information. Otherwise this could get messy.

I almost had a neighbor take my cat once. I heard him say "Oh that cat has yellow eyes, it's a stray!" Nevermind he's clearly well fed and hanging out with our other cat. He must be a stray because he has yellow eyes! I immediately went and grabbed both of my cats before anything happened. I'm still trying to figure out that line of reasoning. We've moved since then and have no more weird neighbors to worry about like that.
Carrie de Luka 5 years ago
Weird. Did they think being a stray caused yellow eyes??? What a strange way to think!

He should have kept better track of his pet. So no letting him roam around the streets.

I’ve always wondered if my boy cat used to be someone’s cat before I made him mine. He wasn’t fixed and no one nearby acknowledged missing a cat, but he was just so pleasant and healthy when we trapped him (suspected of hurting my ex’s other cat, but clearly wasn’t him).

Hahahaaaa my cat wasn't very social and he used to go out all the time. I thought he was searching for ladies and birds. One day one neighbor told me she was leaving food for him in her patio because he began to visit her. Hahaha. Rascal.

Does the cat have required shots? Who paid for those? That's whose cat it is.

Which is why microchipping your cat is necessary! Easy to prove ownership then.

That is irrelevant. Apparently the cat is welcome at both homes because both people think it is their cat.
Load More Replies...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.

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.

My god! If you can hear someone fighting, then #1. Step in, intervene if someone is in trouble (which it sounds like the person was) #2 call 911/999 & report a domestic disturbance. And if all else fails, don't blame the victim, offer help. Ask of she feels safe or if she needs to get away, needs help making phone calls, ANYTHING but "tick tock. Happy fighting"

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!

My neighbor thinks I've been playing "loud thumping" music from 10pm-5/6am. Sent me anonymous card in the mail and told the condo people. 1. I tend to sleep during that time. 2. Don't have a stereo that can play anything loud. My tv isn't even plugged in. And they still don't believe me!

LOL. My crazy neighbour was legit crazy, and would knock on my door to complain about me spying on her thoughts and sending her messages thru my kitchen tap to 'punish her'. I was kind of sorry for the crazy lady, but not really after the fourth visit in 24hrs. I got to the point were I would open the door, see her, and just say, "No, Ginny." and close the door. There is no point engaging with crazy. I ended up tracking down one of her family members through another neighbour, and asking them to help her get her medications adjusted.

I had a neighbor who lived above my apartment. When my boyfriend and I broke up he started hitting on me. He was 30 years older than me. It got creepy. He eventually told me that when he heard me and my boyfriend having sex he would turn down his tv and listen. Then he asked me out to dinner. More than once. He asked me to come over to his apartment for drinks often. I always said no. I started having my mom stay with me because I was truly creeped out by him.
